Alex Russo was upstairs in her room reading her new favorite serious Left Behind. She was also playing Christian music in her stereo. Her black hair was fanned out on her bed. Suddenly Alex heard a knock on the door. "Come in," she called putting her book on the desk. Her mom opened the door and came inside smiling at her daughter. She looked around the room. There were crosses hung everywhere and Alex had her favorite Bible verses painted on the walls. Her mother just smiled appreciatively and Alex looked at her skeptically. Finally Mrs. Russo sat down.
"Your father and I know how much you love the Lord and we just want you to know how proud of you we are," Mrs. Russo told her daughter. She pulled a black velvet box out of her pocket and handed it to Alex whose mouth was hanging open in shock. She opened the box and gasped. Inside was a beautiful silver ring with a cross engraved on the front and on the inside it said 1 Corinthians 13:8. Alex knew that verse. "Love never fails."
"It's a purity ring," her mother told her. "We trust you to wait for that special someone but we just wanted to give it to you as a reminder of where you come from and what you believe in."
"I love it," Alex said hugging her mother. "And I know you trust me," she assured her knowing that her parents hadn't given her the ring as a sign of distrust in her. She had met her boyfriend Dean at church. Well, actually it was at choir practice. Dean's family was extremely conservative and huge Catholics just like Alex's. The two were perfect for each other. Dean was the kind of guy that you could bring home to your parents. He was smart, sweet, funny, and so much more. He had vowed to stay pure until marriage himself. And others admired him for it. Alex had always been one of them even though she made the same promise.
"Well," Mrs. Russo said getting off the bed. "I'll let you get back to your reading."
"Okay," Alex said smiling. "Thanks mom." Alex was left in her room thinking about how wonderful her life was. She loved the close relationship she had with her family. She loved her church and religion. And most of all she loved her close relationship with God. She smiled to herself hoping that this peaceful innocence would always be with her in her life.
Sorry I know it's really short but I couldn't think of much to write abou Alex right now. And for you Nalex lovers don't worry they'll probably get together eventually. I'll upload the chapter about Caitlyn tonight.
