Chapter one: Dark Day

You were better of as a striper…

Alex, I'm done…

This is the right thing to do… but still hurts…

"Yeah right!" Alex said pissed off as she walk on her way to work, she was so deep in to her thoughts that she was barely aware of the streets, paying just enough attention to not be run over by a car or clash with anybody, but then again she had a such a killer look on her face that maybe she just made every pedestrian or car driver think twice before cruising her way. Finally she arrived to a building with the sign "Toronto Rehabilitation Institute" on the side. Alex took a deep breath and held on to her backpack, she knew that walking through those doors would mean having to leave behind all the things that were bothering her that particular day. Suddenly a familiar voice got her attention.

"Are you planning to stay there all day?" Ellie said before she reached Alex and stood beside her "you do know those patients need you magic touch to heal, right?"

Alex turned and looked at her friend with a smirk on her face. "Nash… If you really think that?" Alex give her friend a flirty look as she lifted her eyebrow "Then I must have some magic touch" Ellie's heart skipped a beat and her cheeks got a little blushed, she knew Alex flirted like that with almost all her friends, but she couldn't help to feel some excitement whenever she did it with her.

"Well I'm just glad that you are using your power for good instead of evil" Ellie reply with a kind smile. Alex mirrored the smile feeling, it was like she managed to put the things that were bothering her on the back of her mind, at least for a moment.

"Hello Alex" Mr. Nash suddenly enter the picture, he was on the newsstand beside them Wait was he there the whole time? How could I have missed him? Alex thought as she reply the greeting by waving her hand. Ellie's father looked at Alex and then looked at his daughter and felt a little uneasy about interrupting the moment. "So… I guess I'll see you in physical therapy Alex"

"You bet!" Alex smiled at Mr. Nash who started walking hoping to make himself scarce.

"Ellie I´ll wait for you by the elevator"

" Ok, dad"

Mr. Nash walked towards the hospital with the help of his cane. He was still recovering from a hip injury that he suffered during his military tour in Afghanistan a few years back. Alex looked at him with a gentle smile "I'm glad to see he is doing better"

Ellie look at her father and then walk in to Alex's view "And what about you?"

Alex frowned a little, she was aware of what Ellie was talking about, after all the ginger was the only one that knew her inside and out, but that didn't mean that Alex wanted to have that particular conversation "I'm no recovering from anything"

"Not physically but…"

"…But what?" Alex cut Ellie off trying her best to remained oblivious to the subject, but the expression on her face give her away

"This is your Black Day, isn't it? "

Dam Nash! Black Day what kind of name is that?

"Oh come on! Do we have to have the same talk every year?

Wait did she said every year?

Ellie was getting more and more annoyed by the burnet's muted response, she recognized that expression on Alex's face, like a kid caught with the hand on the cookie jar, and she was aware that Alex wasn't the share-my-feelings-type-of-girl, but she also knew that the best thing for the brunette was to share her pain, and to make it happen Ellie would have to force the words out of her mouth at first, but that prove to be really difficult when it came to that date "who you take me for, you think I don't remember that this is the day that Paige dump you for good… 6 years ago! And that you go in to I'm bad-ass Alex mode for the whole day…" the ginger could not help but to raise her voice for the last part.

Alex finally let out a sigh and soften her expression "yeah ok… but" Alex started playing with her fingers" could you don't say it like that… if you do, you make it sound reaaaaally bad and…"

"Make it sound he" Ellie just couldn't help the sarcasm.

"You can be a little too pushy sometimes Nash, you know that?" Alex said really cranky.

"And you are going to be a little too late if you don hurry up and go to work" Alex sighed and Ellie smiled as she put her hands in Alex's Arms "put yourself together woman there are lives at stake"

The little trick to lighten the mood work, she finally got Alex to give a little sad smile, but hey better than nothing she thought, so with that they walked towards the rehab center. "We still on for tonight?" Ellie said playfully tuning to see Alex as she walked backwards towards the elevator.

"Yes"

"Good, the "Dark Day" wouldn't be complete without a drink-till-you-puke session" Ellie said before the elevator door closed, and with that Alex headed to the locker room.

Once there Alex found herself alone in the room, she placed her backpack in her looker and then put on some scrubs. While she was changing she was thinking about Ellie's tone… Make it sound "I know it´s not good but it's not like I'm this crazy person that everybody is afraid of because the bad-ass mode she claims I'm in" she hadn't noticed a coworker had open the door of the locker room and was looking at her with an expression of fear mixed with surprise, she turn only to see him walking away backwards with an awkward smile on his face "I really, REALLY need to stop talking to myself now" she said as she took her name tag of the locker and slam the door on her way out.

She walked to the room better known as Physiotherapy 1 and saw Ellie standing in the hallway "Ready?" Ellie asked with a smile on her face.

"Almost" Alex said putting on her name tag.

Ellie stopped Alex to straight up the tag "Alex Nuñez, physiotherapist, has a nice ring to it"

Alex smiled back but as she turned her back to Ellie she heard.

"Good Physio session HUN"

Alex shrunk her shoulders and turned around trying to sound as calm as possible "Ellie don't call me that… ever…"

"Sure" Ellie said trying not to laugh "hun"

"It's still no funny" Alex said singing with a fake smile without turning around

"Ok, ok miss Magic Touch, never again"

Alex relaxed and just smiled as she proceeded to enter the room, if that hun joke would have come from any other person she would have beaten the crap out of them, hell that day she would probably have beaten anybody who call her that, joke or no joke, but being Ellie she didn't even find it as annoying, she knew it was Ellie's way of help with the moving on process that she had been dragging for a very, very long time. More important she felt that, even with all her hesitation, Ellie was the only one with the ability to helper trough that day.
