Okay so I know it's not very long, sorry, but I'm trying to get a chapter out today and tomorrow before I leave and I've been waiting for the right time to do this chapter. Please Review because when no one reviews I get discouraged and don't want to keep going. Love you guys!
The first time Neal had called Alex "Ally" had been just a week after they first met. It was kind of a hazy memory, like most things from being four-years-old were, but Alex clearly remembered Neal laying on his back with his head hanging off the bed as he played around with her name.
*Flashback*
"A-lex, lex, lex-ie, lexie?" Neal looked at his friend who was hiding in a pile of stuffed animals. She shook her head causing her hair to whip around her. "Yeah I didn't like that one either. Al-ex, Al? No that's a boy's name. Hmmm...how about Ally?" A smile broke across Alex's tiny face and she nodded clutching a teddy-bear closer to her. Neal smiled before throwing her a thumbs up and falling off the bed as a result of the action.
*End of Flashback*
Ever since that day Alex had been Ally. Only to Neal though. If anyone else dared to call Alex anything but her actual name she simply would not respond. It might not be the most comples nickname, but to them it was special.
