This is unfortunately the last chapter for this story. I had a blast writing it though. Enjoy. I'll be updating, Everything is Everything this week too! So check that out.

Half Alive

Marissa walked into the dark apartment, and entered the bedroom she shared with Ryan. She looked at his sleeping figure, and felt her heart ache at the sight and thought of what she was about to do.

Slipping the ring off of her finger, she placed it on her side of the nightstand. And wrote two words on the slip of paper. 'I'm Sorry'. Briefly Marissa pulled out a duffel bag, and threw things into the bag as quietly as she could. Taking one last look at the apartment she shared with him, she closed the door not only on just the apartment but also that chapter of her life.

Marissa sighed aloud at the memory of the night's events. She couldn't believe she had actually left Ryan. She'd left her safety net, after she'd packed her bag she threw it into her car, called Summer and started driving. She didn't know what to expect. She just knew she had to see Alex.

Driving past the speed limit, Marissa turned the radio up. "Cause I was born to tell you I love you, and I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine. Stay with me tonight." The song on the radio only made Marissa drive faster. She needed to see Alex, with a new sense of urgency Marissa pressed on.

Alex stood at the sound of the doorbell, and made her way to the door with the phone still pressed to her ear wondering if she was too late. Alex was cursing at herself for not calling Marissa back, when she opened the door she was surprised to see Marissa standing there, with a bag over her shoulder. Dropping her cell phone, Alex stared mouth agape at the girl in front of her.

Marissa dropped her bag, and pulled Alex into her arms. "I left him." Marissa whispered into Alex's hair. Alex returned the embrace, not believing Marissa was in her arms. After they pulled apart, Alex took Marissa's bag and her hand and led her into the apartment.

"How did you find out where I lived?" Alex asked, sitting down next to Marissa.
"That's the first thing your going to ask me, after I tell you I left Ryan?" Alex merely shrugged.
"I went to the bar you work at it."
"Oh…"
"Alex come on, can you talk to me?"
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"Not calling you back."
"Don't be, I messed up. Look I know this is really soon, but it's just-"
"You really left him?" Alex interrupted.
"I realized he wasn't who I wanted, I wasn't happy with him."
"You finally took the ring off." Alex said, holding Marissa's hand in her own, filling the taller girl with warmth. At Alex's comment Marissa started to blush.

"I'm sorry I lied." She said after a few moments of silence.
"Why'd you do it?"
"To be honest, I don't even know. Seeing you it just I realized the feelings I had for you never went away."
"What's this supposed to mean?"
"It means I want to be with you, if you'll be with me." Marissa answered looking down at their hands.
"No lies this time?" Alex asked.
"No lies." Marissa answered, leaning forward and meeting Alex's lips with her own.
"I love you." Marissa mumbled into the kiss.
"I never stopped loving you." Alex muttered back, taking control of the kiss and leaning Marissa back.
