Fair warning. I'm notoriously lazy.

It's Jalex but not incest.

I don't own WOWP which is a pity.

Book Signing: Literary Fate

Died With You

Don't wake me up

I'm already dead

I died with you

And went away

There's no calling me back

And no reason to stay

Don't cry over me

Don't waste your breath

Like the earth and they sky

We don't really meet

But the illusion is there

For those who believe

At the end of the earth

In that space of a breath

Briefly we touch, briefly we meet.

A single tear escaped her eyes and fell on the words before her.

This one's on you Justin. All you.

Alex looked around her. Her first book signing event.

People going crazy mad. Chaos. Mayhem.

Exactly the kind of place Alex loved.

Exactly the kind of place Justin would've hated, she thought.

Not the books. He would've laughed over that one actually. The girl who never read a book in her life sat down and wrote one. It was just poems not a proper book but still Justin would've loved the irony of this.

She opened the first page.

The dedication was simple.

Justin and Max, I would never leave you.

After Alex won that wizard duel with Justin, he'd just disappeared. So had Max. Alex and Jerry had tried every spell they could think of but no matter what they tried, they couldn't bring Max or Justin back. Alex took it especially hard.

Maybe because she was the only one who could actually remember Max and Justin.

Jerry and Teresa had been very supportive but when Alex looked them in the eye she could see that they really had forgotten.

She had moved in with Jerry as he was the more easy going, accommodating and above all, accepting between him and Teresa. Teresa still had trouble believing she had three kids she didn't even remember. She and Jerry had not got back together but Alex could tell things were headed that way. The first sign was when her dad and mom decided to open the subway shop again. Everything was returning to the same old pattern, just without Justin and Max.

Because she was lost in her reverie she didn't see them arrive.

She only noticed when a book was shoved under her nose.

She put on a fake smile, still looking down.

"Who should I make it out to?"

"Justin. Justin Callaghan."

It's was as if an ice pick just went through her heart. Just the name she was trying to avoid but with her luck it's just the name that kept coming back and haunting her.

Then before she could look up a kid's voice joined in.

"Hey. Also MAX. Max Callaghan."

She looked up.

And it's them.

She's at a book signing, grieving the loss of her brothers while they stand in front of her with no trace of recognition on their faces.

"J-Justin?" She stammered. "Max?"
