Chapter 2 by ILove2Write13. Its awesome :D

I don't own anything.

PS: Yiruma really rocks! I love Kiss the Rain. My favourite used to be The Moment. Now, I'll have to decide again.


Anyway, I just came home from school and I am ready to kill myself.

SONG FOR THE STORY! Kiss the Rain by Yiruma! I love that guy...he's so talented.

DO NOT OWN ANYTHING!

Justin's POV (And it is going to be for a good portion of the story!)

When I woke up the next morning, Alex was still asleep. I got up quietly and then went into the kitchen. Max was sitting there, looking at his bowl of cereal. When I walked in, he looked up at me, his expression unusually grim.

"Justin, what's going to happen to Alex?" He said. He wasn't as dumb as everyone thought he was. He cared about Alex...

I sat down and pulled a banana to me.

"I don't know Max."

He sighed, picked up his backpack, and walked out the door. I looked at the clock. I was going to be late for the subway if I stayed here any longer.

I picked up my bag and had my hand on the door when I heard a tiny voice behind me.

"Please stay."

When I turned around, Alex was standing by the island, looking at me through her hair. She wasn't wearing her usual pajamas, but she was wearing black jeans and a black t-shirt. That scared me. She was the kind of girl to where many different colors a day.

I walked to her and hugged her. She just clung to me. I could tell that she was trying to hold back tears, just like I was.

"Don't leave me." She whimpered.

Alex was normally so calm and cool and collected. She never liked to show that she needed help. The only time when she was really vunerable was when she almost had her powers taken away.

"I promise I won't."

"I miss him." She whispered after a moment of quietness.

She was talking about Dean.

I didn't say anything.

When Mom and Dad came in looking for me, they were angry at me for skipping school, since they got a call from the principal. But they saw Alex sleeping on my bed, while I was reading a book. They waved me outside the room.

I shut the door and then looked at them.

I expected them to be mad at me, but all Dad said was,

"How is she?"

I looked over my shoulder to where she was curled up against my pillows. She really didn't get a lot of sleep last night, so she caught up when I was working on the make up work that Max brought home for me.

"She's hanging in there. She's not really herself anymore."

Mom looked at Alex.

She nodded and took Dad down the hall. I sighed and went back into my room.

I was awaken when Alex shot up out of my bed screaming. I ran to her side and shook her slightly.

"ALEX! It's me, Justin! Nothings here, no ones going to hurt you!"

Alex shook and trembled.

Max came running into the room, and Alex reached out to him and pulled him close to her. He looked surprised, but he hugged her back, rubbing her back, looking at me over her shoulder.

Alex was sobbing. It scared me. It was heartbroken, painful sobs. She reached out for me too, keeping one arm around Max. I walked over and hugged back.

"Promise me you guys won't leave me like Dean did...promise me..."

Max nodded, and I nodded too.

That night, Alex wouldn't let us leave my room. She fell asleep again with her arms around Max. But her head and Max's were on my leg.

Max looked up at me and whispered, "Is she always like this?"

I nodded.

Max looked sad. He loved her, just as much as I did.

"What did those men do to her?"

I grimaced and turned away. I didn't think that I could have been the one to tell Max. I think that it was kinder to him not to tell him what had happened. He didn't need to have the nightmares that I did right now.

"Max, you don't need to know that."

Max looked at Alex, horrified. He knew.

"Oh my..."

Alex whimpered, cutting him off. We both looked over to her, and saw her drawing her nails over her wrist, leaving a deep cut. I jumped up and pushed her hands back. She was still asleep. And then she started to thrash. And then she went limp, and jerked again.

I yelled at Max, "She's having a seizure! Get me a t-shirt or something and then go call 9-11!"

He threw his t-shirt at me and then barreled out the door. I stuffed it into Alex's mouth so she wouldn't bite off her tongue, an tried to hold her down so she wouldn't hurt herself.

Mom and Max came back into the room, and I heard Dad shouting into the phone for Mediwizards.

They arrived and rushed into the room, shooing us out. I pushed past them, trying to get to Alex, but they wouldn't let me. They sealed the door with strong magic, and all we could hear was spells, and Alex whimpers, muffled by the t-shirt in her mouth.

Mom was crying, holding onto Dad and Max. Max was crying too. I paced back and forth, and then I heard the door creak open. I saw one Mediwizard come out.

"She's fine. With everything that she has been going through, her mind needed a way to clear itself. Justin, you should go in. She's awake, and she's been, well, demanding for you."

I nodded and walked into her room. The other Mediwizards cleared out of the room. Alex was curled up on her side on the bed, her hair everywhere, her pink pajamas ruffled. I saw that she had fallen asleep, and I went back to my room. I hear murmuring in the next room, so I knew Mom and Dad were talking.

I lay on my bed, listening to the radio, but not really paying attention. The next day we had to go to Dean's funeral, and I needed sleep for that.

My door creaked open, and someone walked in. I rolled over, and saw Alex, her hair hanging down.

"Justin?"

I scooted over in my bed, letting her lay down next to me. I wrapped one of my arms around her waist.

She lay still for a little while, and then whispered, "Thank you."

Later that night, when I was still unable to sleep, Alex rolled over and put her head on my shoulder. I frowned. There was so much more that my poor sister had to face.

WHOA! This chapter took me so long to write because of school! Oh, well, I hope you like it!

And the next chapter we have Dean's funeral to look forward too, and then Alex's first day back to school! WHOO!

NOW, REVIEW!
