After Piper told Polly about all of her ex drama, Polly persuaded Piper to go out and get a drink. Try to temporarily forget about what happened. She needed it. As of right now, all of her thoughts have been clouded by Alex.

Maybe if she gets drunk enough, she'll forget about what happened. She know that it won't work, but it's worth a try.

"You should text Larry. Tell him to drop by after work. Maybe he'll help take your mind off of her."

Polly was right. What better way to forget about your ex than booze and your fiancé?

"Ok" Piper replied.

To Larry: Hey babe. Come by the bar after work. Polly and I plan to get drunk tonight and we need somebody to keep us company.

From Larry: Sure, anything for you babe

Anything for you

Shit. Her thoughts are finding there way back to Alex again. It's like everything is a reminder of her. She feels like she did 8 years ago. After she left, all she cold think about was Alex. The smallest things reminded her of the dark haired beauty that she left in Paris. Everything ranged from seeing Alex's favorite beer to seeing some other brunette wearing black rimmed glasses. Her thoughts were always about Alex. She would never admit it to anyone, but every time she saw a brunette with glasses, she was filled with hope that maybe, just maybe, it was Alex. She doesn't know what she would've done if it was Alex. She doesn't know if she would've gotten on her knees and begged Alex to take her back. Or if she would've just simply ignored her. She would like to think that she would've stuck to her decision of leaving by ignoring Alex. But deep down she knew that if it came to it, she would've been on her knees begging.

After she left, there was nothing more that she wanted to do than to call Alex up and beg her to take her back. Alex was her world for 3 years. Without Alex she was lost. She was just a kid who had no idea what to do with her life. For the longest time, all she wanted was Alex. She thought that leaving was what she wanted. Se truly thought that all of her problems would've been solved if she left. She was so wrong. If anything, her life got worse when she left. Yeah she wasn't following Alex around anymore, waiting for her to have time for her. But she wasn't with Alex. And that's what hurt the most. Not having Alex. If she would've known how much it would actually hurt to leave, she never would've done it. But it was too late to go back on that. And she had too much pride to call Alex. She had too much pride to try and go back.

So she didn't.

What hurts the most,

Was being so close.

And having so much to say,

And watching you walk away.

And never knowing

What could have been.

And not seeing that loving you,

Is what I was trying to do.

"Alex, you need to get wasted. And laid. Definitely need to get laid."

Nicky and Alex were walking to their local bar. They've already had a few drinks back at the apartment and were on the way to being flat out drunk. They both needed it. Nicky needed it because of Lorna and Alex needed it because of Piper.

They were approaching the door when a random stranger knocked into them, almost pushing them over.

"What the fuck!" Alex yelled

"Sorry! I didn't see you there" The short awkward man said.

"Fuck off"

"Wow ok… Bitch" The man said under his breath.

"What did you call me?!"

"Uh, uhm, I—"

"Larry! What are you doing out here?" Piper came walking, failing to see her ex and fiancé fighting.

"Pipes!"

"Piper?!"

Larry and Alex said in unison.

"Oh shit" Piper mumbled. This was not how she was expecting this night to go.

"How do you know bigfoot over here?"

"Larry!" Piper exclaimed.

"Excuse me?!" Alex said, walking closer to Larry to get in his face. She was easily a few inches taller than him.

"Uh well, you're tall"

Alex scoffed at this. "'I've been told"

Alex looked over to Piper.

"Small world huh, kid?"

Piper felt a small smile tugging at her lips at the nickname. She immediately pushed that smile down.

Alex looked over to Larry and nodded her head in his direction.

"So who's this?"

"Uhm that's Larry… my fiancé"

Alex grimaced. She couldn't believe that Piper would fall for this guy.

"Well good luck" She said, then turned to go inside.

Piper watched her and Nicky walk away, then she turned to Larry.

"Larry! What the fuck!"

"Babe, why are you mad? Who even is she?"

Piper didn't want to tell Larry who Alex really was.

"Uh, uhm, she's my boss"

"Babe! You got the job! Congratulations!" Larry exclaimed and then pulled her in for a hug.

"Yeah thanks. Not quite sure if I still have the job anymore, thanks to you."

"Oh"

"Yeah"

"Well I can go talk to her if you want"

"No, you'll make it worse," Piper sighed. Larry always found a way to mess things up, "I'll go talk to her. Just go sit with Polly"

"Ok babe" Larry said, then gave her a peck on the cheek and walked into the bar.

Piper sighed then straightened out her dress and walked into the bar. On a mission to find Alex and apologize.

She walked around a little bit, having trouble locating Alex. She turned her head towards the back of the room where the booths are at when she heard Alex's booming laugh from across the room.

She moved towards the sound until Alex was in sight. When she finally saw Alex, she saw that she had her arm wrapped around another girl.

That must be Jules, Piper thought to herself.

She stopped I her tracks and looked at them together. Jules was gorgeous. Piper all of a sudden felt very self conscious.

She began walking closer again, swallowing her jealousy on the way there.

As she approached the table, everyone turned to look at her.

She looked at Jules, and then to Alex.

"Hey, uhm, can we talk?"

Alex looked around for a second and then finally locked eyes with Piper and nodded. Piper's gaze shifted to Jules who was giving her a dirty look.

Before Alex could pull herself out of the booth, Jules took her face in her hands and kissed her ferociously. Tongue and everything. Alex was surprised, but she went along with it and kissed back. She was a bit drunk so she couldn't really think straight. She's not really one for PDA.

Piper stared in horror as she watched them lock lips. After a few moments, she forced herself to look away. Her jealousy began to rage again but she forced herself to control it.

Alex finally broke the kiss and stood up. Piper led her farther away from the booth into a secluded corner in the bar so they could talk.

"Listen, I'm sorry about Larry. He's not usually like that."

"It's ok. You know, I didn't really peg him as your type to be honest."

Piper scoffed.

"You don't know my type"

Alex raised her brows at that.

"And here I am thinking that I knew you pretty well"

"You used to. I guess things can change in 8 years."

Alex nodded her head sadly at that. She looked back up and stared into Piper's eyes for a few moments.

Until Piper broke the silence.

"So uhm, no hard feelings right?"

Alex smirked and nodded her head.

"Sure kid, no hard feelings."

Piper smiled at Alex and Alex smiled back.

Maybe people change in 8 years. But Alex was determined to get to know Piper again.

Their love might not be extremely obvious, but it's still there.

You are the air I breathe,

You are my everything.

Baby come and follow me,

Till the end of the world.

I wont live a day without your love

A/N: I'm sorry this took so long! I started school and sports back up again so I didn't have a lot of time to write. Not quite sure if I like this or not. But oh well.

I'm not sure how frequent my updates will be. It might be 2 a week or maybe only 1 a week. Who knows. I actually have a surprisingly busy life considering how young I am. I'm probably a lot younger than all of you think I am.

I would've had this chapter out by last night but I'm from Maryland so of course I had to watch the Ravens vs Patriots game. I'm still pissed off about it. But whatever.
