Prologue
Blankets of rain poured down on Newport in a constant stream, soaking anything and anyone who had the unfortunate luck of being outside in it. The woman quickened her pace after seeing a distinct flash of lightening go off overhead. Despite the fact that the unnaturally long driveway was becoming more and more slippery, the teenager still kept her stride.
Finally, she reaches her destination. Taking a deep breath, a delicate hand reaches up and rings the doorbell.
No sooner had the food touched everyone's plate, when the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" Seth Cohen was already halfway to the door by the time everyone heard what he had said.
The big, goofy grin he wore as he opened the door disappeared the instant he recognized who was standing before him.
"Alex? What are you doing here?" Seth motioned for the soaking wet girl to walk into the house.
Alex looked at her ex-boyfriend with tears in her eyes, " Something bad happened when I went back to L.A. I can't go back there again, and I couldn't think of any one else so . . . can I stay here for awhile?"
"Of course! But what happened to you?" Seth's mind finally caught up with him and the rest of the situation.
Alex was freely crying as she began removing her coat, "I was . . . raped," she heard Seth gasp, "And now I'm pregnant."
Seth looked down at the slight swell of her stomach as she took her coat off completely. To be completely honest, if Alex hadn't drawn attention to it, he probably would not have noticed the protrusion. But he didn't have time to think about that at that exact second. He was too busy holding his friend while trying to gently stop her tears. Alex, for her part, stood there holding onto Seth as if he were her lifeline.
They stood in the middle of the hallway, Alex, crying a little more softly then she had been, and Seth, holding her as he rubbed circles on her back and again tried to get her to stop crying.
"Hey Seth? I was sent to look for you. Everyone's afraid you got . . ." Marissa stopped dead in her tracks, "Alex?"
Ok, so here is my first story!!! Please tell me what you think!!!!!! Yours truly, Sid.
