Chapter 9: Secrets?
Alec's POV
My poor sister. I had wanted to go upstairs and comfort her. My mother had locked the door, so I would have to wait until she went to bed. And by the looks of it, she will be in bed soon. She has drunk a lot tonight. I waited on the couch, while my mother and Ray kept kissing on the love seat. Once they fell asleep, I sneaked upstairs. Jane was sitting by her window, wiping her tears with her eyes. I walked over to her and sat down. She rested her head on my shoulder. We sat in silence for most of the time.
"She doesn't want me" she said looking up.
"I'm sure she didn't mean it" I said.
"She did, she never wanted me, can you believe it, my own mother doesn't want me" she said crying a little bit.
"Jane" I to said, trying to come up with something to cheer her up, but I couldn't think of anything.
"I'm going to bed, I'll see you in the morning" she said getting up.
"Good night" I said getting up to go to bed.
"Night" she said as she laid her head in her pillow.
The next morning Jane was already dressed for school when I got up.
'Hey" I said rubbing my eyes.
"Hey" she said walking to the window.
"You okay?" I asked getting out of bed.
"Yep" she said looking outside.
"What time did you get up?" I asked stretching. I walked to my dresser and pulled out some jeans and a t-shirt.
"I never went to sleep" she said staring outside.
"Oh" I said walking towards the closet.
"I'm getting dressed, okay?" I said walking in the closet.
"Okay" she said getting up and walking towards the door.
"I'm going downstairs" she said leaving the room.
I hurried up and got dressed. And walked downstairs. Jane was staring at Ray who was asleep.
"So what do you want to eat?" I asked her.
"Not hungry" she said.
"Oh okay". She was still feeling bad about last night. It probably was a night she wouldn't soon forget.
I ate a piece of cheese and we were out the door. We didn't talk much at all.
JANE'S POV_
As Alec and I walked to the front of the school, Demetri was waiting there. I ran off to meet him. It wasn't that I was mad at Alec himself, I am just mad at him because mom loves him and not me. And the only person who seems to help is Demetri. I haven't talked to him much, just at lunch and art, and sometimes algebra, but every time I do, my heart melts. I stopped covering my bruise that had almost faded away. He still thought I was pretty. I think he is blind. I'm not pretty on the outside, and my personality bites. But who cares! He is the only boy who has ever paid attention to me. He seems like he is hiding something though?
