A/N. This chapters not really great. I know that. Feel free to beta it for me (My beta reader's internet's down. Sucky.) and tell me how I can improve it.
Thankyou to JKRowling17 and Christmas Joy for the reviews. This chapter goes out to you!
That night Alex decided to take Eleanor out for dinner to celebrate their freedom. "So Eleanor," she began.
Eleanor interrupted her, "Please call me Lena. It's a tad more up to date."
Alex laughed, "Yeah I guess. So Lena," she laughed again, "what was your life like before the program?"
"I lived with my mum, dad and cousin, Cassie. The day after my thirteenth birthday Mum, Dad and I were driving back from the theatre when suddenly the car brakes went and the car blew. I managed to survive because I jumped out the door. Mum and Dad......." Lena fell silent.
Guessing the girl was badly upset Alex changed paths, "Where did you use to live?"
"Staten Island. It was nice. Cassie lived with us until she finished school. Then she left for the inner city."
"What happened to Cassie?" Alex asked.
"I don't know. She wouldn't talk to my parents for some reason. All I know is she became some sort of lawyer or something." Lena shrugged, "So how about you. Who were you? What did you do? Who were your family?"
"I lived in Manhattan. I was an Assistant District Attorney. My family were rich snobs. I loved them though. My Mother actually died when I was in the early stages of the program."
"So you were in the program before I was?" Lena asked, raising her eyebrows.
"Yeah, for a year. I was shot by Liam Connors because I tried to persecute his boss, Cesar Valez. I came out of the program to testify at his trial and that's when I met you. I'm sorry if I seemed rude when I met you!" She changed paths, "I really didn't expect to be put with a companion, especially not a teenage one."
"It's all good." Lena replied smiling. "I just gathered you didn't have much experience with kids. What about friends? Did you have many friends?"
"Yeah. Olivia, Elliot, Abbie, Serena, Casey......... There were a bunch and more. So how about you? Did you have friends at school?"
"No. Not really. I was a bit of a loner. Took after my cousin that way."
The waiter soon arrived with their food and the two women concentrated their energy into eating.
Suddenly, looking up from the plate of tortellini in front of her, Lena whispered. "Alex. What's going to happen to us now we're out of the program?"
"Well I suppose we'll be going back to New York."
"What about me?"
"I said we'll."
"No what I mean is where will I stay? Who will I live with? I don't have anyone but Cassie and I don't know where she is." Lena's face knotted with worry.
Alex's heart broke at the girls anguish. "I suppose you will live with me."
Lena looked up at her in astonishment. "Really?"
Alex laughed. "Yeah really."
Lena crossed the table and hugged Alex. "Thankyou so, so much. I mean it. Really. Thankyou."
"No problem Lena. So why don't we go home? We can stop by Cold Rock on the way for dessert."
Lena laughed. "I'm holding you to that!"
The two women paid the cheque and walked off home.
