So unsure exactly how I want to end this, I decided to do some character development, and with that everyone will find out Casey's mysterious past that might just light the Malex spark.
Alex waiting til the next morning to call Casey to try and talk to her. She had been thinking about the events of the lasts 48 hours over and over in her head replaying every word that was spoken. Everything was so weird and dream like, she couldn't believe that Marissa had been there, and told her that she loved her. Then there was Casey, why was she even consider a relationship with Marissa, she asked herself, knowing all too well what happened last time. But something else kept popping into her head ' people change', but was she really going to take that risk. She was happy with Casey, until Marissa showed up, bringing up old feelings. She decided she just needed to call Casey and talk it out with her, after all Casey would understand.
"Hey" Alex spoke after the phone had finally been picked up, after what seemed like forever.
"Hey" is what Alex barely heard
"Look I think we need to talk, if you want to of course." Alex said waiting for a response
"So she's gone already, just like that?" Casey asked hopeful
"Its not quite that simple, but yeah she's gone."
"Give me about a half hour to hop in the shower and I'll be over" Casey said in a neutral tone.
"Were are you staying, if you don't mind me asking."
"Not really, I'm staying at Link's house since he's out on tour, its kinda empty." using a bit of sarcasm she responded trying to lighten the mood.
"Well, alright I'll see you soon " Now she just had to wait for Casey to get here so they could do some real talking.
Half hour or so later Casey came in and met Alex in the living room.
" So what is it that you wanted to talk about" what the first thing Casey said " I'm guessing, that its about Marissa and what not but as long as its nothing and she's gone I don't see what else there could be." Casey added before letting Alex speak.
"Actually I kinda wanted to talk about you." Alex said suddenly not meeting Casey's eyes.
"Okay... well what exactly was it that you wanted to talk about?" Casey asked raising an eyebrow of curiousity.
"Well you go to Pittsburgh like once a month, never tell me what you're doing there, who you see its like you have this past life that you go down to visit and never tell me about." Alex said but decided to continue when Casey was silent.
"And when I was talking to Duke the other day he started saying something about your family, and I had no idea what he was talking about so I asked him. Then he just completely changed the subject as if he caught on that I was clueless. What is it that your hiding from? Why can't you tell me what it is?"
Alex had tears forming in her eyes and her voice started to sound desperate begging Casey for the answers.
"Its really, really complicated." Casey finally spoke.
"So complicated that you can't even tell me about it!?" Alex shouted
"Yeah Alex, it kinda is." She said returning the shouting
"Why?" at this point Alex's voice had softened and she was staring intensely at Casey waiting for an answer.
"Because everything didn't go down exactly how I said." Was the last thing Casey said before Alex's face dropped.
Alright, so I couldn't give you the big mysterious past yet, but I will tell you it might have an impact the the A/M relationship. So please review and I'll do my best to update whenever I can. Hopefully I can finish before the summer ends. So enjoy, review as you like ( although I like it in an abundance ;) ) and be safe!
