Please take it, Alexis.It's gotten colder, the wind has only become stronger and few single rain drops are making their way down from the clouds that have slowly gotten close together. It's only been a few seconds, but for Seth it feels like he's been standing for much longer. His eyes are focused on Alexis, trying to catch every emotion running through her face. His hand hasn't moved since he offered his help.
Her eyes slowly move up from his out stretched hand. She is now looking right into his eyes and Seth fears that she's going to tell him no, that all of his attempts have been for nothing.
But all of those thoughts are blown away, just like the wind that's gushing around them, when her hand slowly moves up and places into his. Seth closes his hand around it, realizing that her hand is cold and shaking. From the weather or her nerves, he doesn't know, probably from both a little bit. But that doesn't matters right now. All he cares about right now, is to get Alexis off this bridge and into a warm place.
With that goal set in his mind, Seth was about to say something when Alexis beats him to it.
"I'm really really tired, Seth. All I want from you is a promise. Please, do not hurt me. Don't leave me alone like all the others did. Don't act all nice now and throw me later away just because you just felt like it at this moment. I don't think... No. I know that I won't be able to handle another let down. Promise me.
Seth looks right into her eyes and sees every emotion possible. From hurt, to sadness. Maybe even a bit of relief, he doesn't know. "Listen Ale-"
"PROMISE ME!" She shouts at him with her voice now shaking.
Furrowing his brows, Seth's gently moves his other hand up and down her arm. "Hey, calm down. It's okay. I was just going to tell you. I promise, Alexis. I promise with all my heart that I won't make you feel like you're alone on this world anymore. I'll be there for you. And If you don't believe me, not yet at least, then I'm simply going to show you. And I don't care how long it's going to take me, be it days, weeks, or months. I won't leave your side. I'm your friend now and friends are there for each other. Got that?"
Alexis just slowly nods her head, not being able to do more at the moment. Taking it as an answer, he slowly helps Alexis over the railing. "Now come, let's get you away from here and into a warm place. I don't want to leave you alone right now so you'll come with me."
Only hearing the last few words, Alexis snaps her head up with wide eyes . "What? No! I-I'm sure you must be tired from being at the arena and, and I don't want to trouble you. You probably want to get some rest before you have, have to go home. I don't want to bother you. You deserve your alone time."
"Please don't worry about me. I'll be fine. You won't bother me at all. I like having some company from a friend, it does get a bit lonely on the road... We can watch TV if you want or play games. You don't have to talk if you don't want to, we'll just chill like friends do. I got my Xbox with me too. I won't take "no" for an answer."
"But..."
"No" Seth says playing his index finger on her lips. "No buts. You will come with me, if you want or not. I may be hurt, but don't think that it'll stop me from carrying you."
Maybe he really means what he said. I guess I'll just have to see what happens. 1 or 2 more days won't hurt... not like there's anything more to be broken inside of me anyway. "Alright, let's go." She says with a smile and a tiny sigh.
Seth returns her smile and starts to help her over the railing. As soon as her 2 feet touched the ground, everything comes crushing down on her. Alexis just falls into Seth's arms and starts crying.
"Hey, hey, shhhhh. I got you, it's okay. Shhhh" Seth quietly says to Alexis while lightly stroking her back, trying to calm her down.
They take their way to the hotel. Everything is just a blur to Alexis. She can only nod when Seth asks her if she wants to listen to some music.
Once arriving Seth's room, Alexis sits on the bed and stares at the wall. Everything's crashing down on her. For the past few months, she couldn't hold onto anybody. Being alone for so long has taken it's toll on her. She doesn't realize when a few single tear drops fall down her face. Seth, who just took a shower, dressed in a shirt and shorts, sees and runs to her. He kneels in front of her and takes Alexis' hands.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
Everything "It's just so much, Seth. I don't know how to deal with all these emotions I'm feeling right now. I've been alone for so long now and the next second you're here offering your help and I don't know how to take it all." *sniffles* "I'm sorry for being so emotional"
"It's okay, please no more crying. You don't have to apologize at all, sweetheart. I understand how hard it must be for you do deal with this. You haven't really experience anything good lately, so having someone who actually cares for you is all new to you. But I can assure you that I won't leave you hanging, alright?"
Alexis looks into Seth's eyes, trying to find any doubts or regrets. But all she can see is pure honesty.
