Mmmhmmm... it's that time again! I've updated! And not only that... but I've finished the story! Yes people, it took me all of my Spring Break (5 days, how lame), but I've finished. But wait, this is also the longest chapter I've written in any story on this site, so I'm feeling very proud of myself. So, please enjoy!
This chapter is deicated to Birdy, may he rest in peace! (you'll understand soon enough)
Chapter 10: To End or Not to End, That is the Question
'Graduation…' Alex thought sleepily as she leaned back into a tree. She'd ended up arriving early for school and was now enjoying the crisp morning air.
"Who would of thought I could even make it this far?" She whispered to herself, fighting back a yawn and closing her eyes.
"I didn't doubt that you could for a second." Alex's eyes snapped open as she came face to face with her blonde haired girlfriend.
"When did you get here?" She asked, as she began fighting back another yawn.
"Just now. Why are you so tired?" Paige asked sweetly as she sat down next to Alex.
"Mmm… I couldn't sleep well. Mom and Chad were fighting again, so I was up half the night listening to that and then the other half listening to my mother sobbing." Paige sighed and wrapped an arm around Alex, pulling her head onto her shoulder.
"Well, we've still got at least twenty minutes before school starts if you want to take a nap." Alex shook her head.
"You're here now and that makes everything better. Besides, finals are over and school is one big naptime for me now."
"Alex, school was always naptime for you."
"Exactly." Alex smiled up at Paige who giggled in return.
"Sometimes I wonder how I could ever live without you around."
"Well I'm here now." Suddenly, a book came crashing down on Alex's head from the tree.
"What the hell!" Alex yelled as she stood up holding her head where the book landed. The faces of Danny and Derek peered out of the tree.
"Um… sorry Alex." They said as the jumped out of the tree and ran off.
"Yeah, you better run!" She called out to them. Paige stood up and wrapped her arms around Alex.
"Maybe we should put you in a bubble, just to make sure you're still here tomorrow for graduation." Paige said, while pulling Alex's hair back and trailing kisses down her neck.
"Mmmhmmm… but with bubble comes many rules." She said, turning around to face Paige.
"For instance, bubbles wouldn't allow anyone to touch me, including you."
"Bubble idea is officially gone now, thank you." Paige mumbled, her lips crashing down upon Alex's, catching the poor girl off guard. After a few moments of making out, both girls came up for air.
"So is this how life is going to be like when we move up to Kingston then?" Alex said as she went back to rubbing her head.
"I guess so… wait, you've decided to come with me then?" Paige asked shocked.
"Well yeah, if we're going to make this work, we kind of need to take it to the next step, am I right? And since we've already had sex, then the next step is moving in together, am I right again?" Paige merely nodded as the information sunk in.
"Alex! Paige!" A voice called from their left. Both turned to see none other than Sean Cameron and Jay.
"Sean!" Alex cried out as she went to hug him, while Paige stayed off to the side.
"Sean, hi!" She said politely. Sean waved to her as he was engulfed in a bear hug from Alex.
"Man, when did you get back?" She asked happily. Jay smirked.
"Seany boy here just got back this morning."
"Thanks Jay, I think I can answer questions by myself though." He snapped.
"Oh boy, you heard about Jay hooking up with Emma, didn't you?" Alex asked knowingly.
"I saw Emma this morning and yes, she did tell me what happened." Sean said sadly.
"Oh come on Sean, this wasn't really anything between us then and there sure as hell isn't anything going on between us now, so just chill out." Sean sighed and Alex patted him on the back.
"Jay's right, Emma hates his guts so there's nothing to worry about. Besides, Jay is still Jay, but he's trying to not be as much of a jackass as he used to be. Isn't that right, Jay?" Jay nodded.
"She speaks the truth, I've reenrolled in Degrassi and I don't hook up with random girls in the ravine anymore." Alex snickered.
"Last I heard though, Jay has a thing for Miss Nash." Sean turned to Jay.
"Ellie, another one of my ex-girlfriends? Nice Jay." But instead of anger, Sean started laughing.
"What's so funny, Cameron?"
"The fact you either hook-up with my girlfriends or turn yours gay." Alex joined Sean in laughing.
"He's got a point, Jay." Jay smirked at them.
"Ha ha, let's poke fun at Jay." Sean looked at Alex, who nodded back at him and then both of them poked Jay.
"Poking fun at Jay is pretty fun." Sean said. Alex smiled and turned around to find Paige, but she was nowhere in sight.
"Um… did you guys see where Paige went?" Sean shook his head.
"Nope, I didn't realize you hang out with her, after all, you guys are pretty different." Jay placed his hand on Sean's shoulder.
"There are many things you don't know. Paige quit Spirit Squad, Paige is going to Banting, Paige is going out with Alex, and Alex is going to surprise her with…"
"Jay, stop there." Alex warned him. Sean turned to Alex.
"You're going out with Paige Michalchuk and you waited until now to tell me! I thought we had something special!" Sean declared in mock hurt, while she just rolled her eyes.
"It wasn't as easy as you might this. We went through a lot to get where we are now, you know." Jay smirked at the two.
"Why don't we explain everything to him over lunch? Finals are over now and you don't really need to be in school until tomorrow anyway. So let's just skip and hang out like the old days."
"I am not going to make-out with you like the old days, Jay." Jay cringed.
"I totally get that, ewww. That makes me think of incest." Alex shrugged while Sean laughed.
"Wow, Jay not trying to hook up with you. Everything really has changed."
"You have no idea!" Jay and Alex said at the same time, and then laughed at themselves.
"Anyway… come on, Lex! It's just one unimportant day we'd be missing!" Alex sighed.
"I really don't want Paige to worry about…" But Jay held up his hand, cutting her off.
"Not another thought of that. Just me a second and we'll be all ready to go." Alex raised an eyebrow to Jay as he began searching the front steps of Degrassi until he found what he was looking for. "Hey Mr. Prez, let Alex's mistress know that Cameron and I are kidnapping her for the day!" Marco turned to answer him, but Jay already slung his arms over Alex and Sean's shoulders and was leading them towards the Dot.
Marco ran up to Paige's locker just as she was pulling her books out.
"Oh, hey Marco." He lifted his hand up to signal his hello as he tried to catch his breath.
"Alex… skipping… Jay and Sean…" He panted out, much to Paige's dismay.
"She's skipping with Jay and Sean? Our morning started out so good too! Alex said she wanted to take 'us' to the next step and was willing to move to Kingston with us." Marco nodded, but stopped mid-nod.
"Wait, you told her that Ellie and I would be sharing an apartment with the both of you, right?" Paige paused, while Marco sighed.
"Don't sigh at me; I was getting around to it!"
"You forgot, didn't you?"
"NO! Well… maybe…"
"Paige…"
"DON'T SAY IT MARCO!"
"You're kind of screwed now." Paige sighed and slammed her locker shut.
"I'm well aware of that, Marco. Well aware! So can we talk about something else now?"
"Whatever you say!" He replied as they walked off to return their books.
"Why, why can't I be happy?" Amy screamed as she paced back and forth in front of a shiny new blue racing car. Under the hood of said car stood Towerz, long ago Candy Bandit.
"Chill Amy, baby. It'll be fine; you just need to cool it. Is ruining Alex's life going to make your life all the more fulfilling?" Amy turned to him.
"Don't even start with me! You live your life shooting up small stores and stealing cars to resell or keep. Is that how you want to live YOUR life?" She yelled at him. He flinched, but didn't back down.
"I get what I want and what I need! What do you get out of it except a sweet six minutes of revenge? Like pouring maple syrup on her is really going to ruin her life. You're just a sad little joke, Amy." Amy growled at him then lunged at his back packet. Towerz, who was off guard, didn't realize what was happening until he was face-to-face with his own gun.
"Then help me think of a plan to crush Alex… any means possible. If not, I'll kill you." Towerz sighed.
"You're one crazy little bitch."
"Missing for three days in the ravine? Jay back at Degrassi? Amy seeking revenge? Alex with Paige? Wow, I did miss a lot, didn't I?" Sean said as he downed her fourth soda. Jay smiled.
"Yeah, crazy shit. Hey man, you better be happy you get free refills because I don't have the money to pay for all those drinks. Hell, I just have enough to pay for this meal for us!" He said. Alex nodded.
"And I'm not fairing off any better in the career category. I just got fired two weeks ago." Sean nodded, but then looked up at the two.
"So Alex, you're moving to Kingston with Paige, right?" Alex nodded, but Sean turned to Jay before she could answer properly.
"And Jay, you're majoring in your mechanic classes, right?" Again, all Sean got was a nod before he continued.
"I think I have an idea." He said while the other two looked on intently.
"What is it, Seany boy?"
"My brother, Tracker, owns an auto shop in that area. If you guys are welling to work and Jay is willing to get his diploma there, then I think you guys are pretty much set." Alex got up and walked behind Sean.
"You're like the best big brother I never had." She said as she hugged him. He smiled up at her as Jay cleared his throat.
"What about me, Lexi?" Alex thought for a moment before she sat back down.
"You're the big brother that I recently got, because otherwise we'd be heading back in the incest direction." The three of them laughed as they continued to enjoy the afternoon away from school and all their worries.
"Paige, she's fine." Hazel said for the third time. Paige sighed.
"I just thought she might have come to the school after her little 'play date' with the boys, but it looks like I was wrong… again…" Hazel wrapped her arm around Paige.
"Calm down, she might still be hanging out with them. After all, it's been a few years since she last saw Sean. They're probably still catching up." Paige turned to Hazel.
"Thanks Hazel, for everything." Hazel smiled and Paige returned the smile with a hug.
"No problem, Paige. After the shock wore off, I realized I'm totally cool with you and Alex. Hey, do you need a lift home?" Paige smiled.
"That'd be awesome, thanks!" And with that, they left.
"Man, I bet I missed her already. If you two didn't insist on getting ice cream, I wouldn't have missed school dismissal!" Alex complained as she ran towards Degrassi.
"Alex, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the main part of skipping school not to go back at all?" Sean asked as he licked merely away at his ice cream cone.
"Seany boy has a point, why are we going to school after it's over?"
"Because my girlfriend might still be there!"
"Um… I think that was her and Hazel that just drove by in a car a second ago." Alex stopped in her tracks as she saw Hazel's car retreating in the distance.
"I hate life." She said bluntly and dropped down onto the cool and hard earthy ground. Jay and Sean took a seat next to her.
"Don't worry, Lex, it'll be fine. Tomorrow… graduation… happy-go-lucky fun!" Jay said. Sean nodded.
"Yeah, you'll have a les-ber-rific time!" Both Alex and Jay turned to Sean.
"Cameron?"
"Sorry, I was thinking of that word since I found out Alex was gay and I needed to find the best moment to use it." He said sheepish.
"Dude, you're weird."
"I think it's funny."
"That's because you're a lesbian."
"Well, you're a dick!"
"Hey Jay, ever hear the saying that you are what you eat?" Alex began cracking up laughing as Jay turned back to Sean.
"Let me guess, you wanted to use that line too?"
"Yep, you don't know how long I've been waiting for the perfect moment to call you gay!" Sean joined Alex rolling around on the ground while laughing hysterically. Jay pouted (yes, Jay pouted!).
"Well… you smell funny!"
"Amy… is this really what you want to do?" Towerz asked as he dragged a couch into the room. Amy stood starring out the window down at Degrassi Community High School below.
"Well, it'll get revenge, that's for sure. You'll drop the letter off tonight?" Towerz grunted as he positioned the couch facing the same window Amy was gazing out of.
"I'll drop it off and then I'm out of here. I'm thinking… Vancouver." He replied as he went back out into the hallway. Amy sighed. She turned and sat down on the couch and pulled a table over.
"Towerz! Where are my supplies?" She called out to him, but he reemerged before she could yell anymore. He set a box down on the other side of the couch and left for the kitchen.
"There some food in here in case you're hungry and all that you need is in that box. Now write that stupid letter so I can deliver it and get out of this stupid thing." Amy remained silent. Towerz reappeared from the kitchen with a beer in his hands.
"Well?"
"Towerz, you can go run away now and I'll deliver the stupid letter." Towerz nodded and left.
"Don't need to tell me twice." He called back and was gone.
"You can always talk to Paige tomorrow at the graduation." Sean said as they climbed the stairs to Alex's apartment.
"Are you coming? Both of you?" She asked curiously. Jay smiled.
"Well, I'll have to move a few things around and get some white separating tape for Emma and Sean, but I think we'll make it." Alex stopped and turned to hug them both.
"You guys can really rock sometimes." Sean nodded.
"Thanks, but you'd better get off to bed now. Big day tomorrow and you'll need your sleep." Alex nodded.
"Alright, night guys." They all hugged again and as Sean was heading back down the stairs, Jay turned to Alex.
"Don't worry, I'm sure Paige is totally fine." He said and followed Sean down the stairs. Alex sighed and continued on her way up.
"Paige, you'll just need to talk to her tomorrow. Now do yourself a favor and get some sleep!" Dylan said from his sister's doorway. Paige sat crossed legged on her bed, as she hit redial again.
"You've reached the cell phone of Alex Nunez, let me know who's calling and I'll get back to you later." Paige sighed and ended the phone call again.
"That time it didn't even ring." She complained and laid backwards on the bed. Dylan sighed and sat down next to her.
"You probably killed the battery; you've been calling every five minutes for the past hour, not to mention her voice mail box is probably full too." Paige nodded and turned over while Dylan sighed and left the room.
"Night Paige." He said while turning off the light.
"Night." She said as sleep began to overtake her.
Alex yawned as she stepped into her apartment. The smell of beer and puke wafted into her nose, but she ignored it and walked into the kitchen. Sluggishly, she grabbed a cup from one of the cabinets and filled it with water.
"Lexi, is that you dear?" Her mother called from the couch. Alex grabbed a bottle of pills and headed her way.
"Yeah mom, I'm here. Take some of this, it'll help the hangover." Her mother nodded and took two pills. Alex handed her the glass which she tool without hesitation.
"Mom, do you remember what tomorrow is?"
"No Lexi… oh no, is it you're birthday? I'm sorry honey but…"
"No mom, tomorrow's my graduation. Do you think you can make it?" Her mother frowned.
"I don't know, Lex. I can try to make it, but I'll probably be a little late." Alex sighed.
"Forget about it. I'm going to bed, night mom." Her mother waved her off and turned over on the couch before falling asleep again.
'Wish I could fall asleep that fast.' Alex thought to herself as she kicked off her shoes and curled up in a ball in her bed.
When Alex woke up, instead of being greeted by her mother's hung-over voice or Chad's normal list of reasons why she should die, there was silence in the apartment. Alex got out of bed and entered the living room where she was greeted with nothing.
"Mom? Chad?" But there was nothing. Upon inspected the house, Alex came up with three things that might tell her what the hell was going on; one- I letter under the door, two- no beer, and three- missing appliances. Her mother was probably out with Chad trading in more things for money so they could get more beer… great. But the letter…? Alex ripped it open, careful of not ripping the contents inside, and pulled out a piece of paper addressed to her.
"Dear Alex,
Hey hun, I've got a surprise for you! You know that apartment complex across from the school; well I'm searching for an apartment there. I know, you're probably thinking, "Why would I need an apartment here if I'm going to Banting?" Well, I'm not. I want to stay here with you! Listen, come talk to me about it before graduation starts, I'll be there setting some things up. Hope to see you then!
-Paige
P.S. Don't bother calling me, my phone is dead." She read to herself. Sighing, she grabbed her clothes for later that day and her bus pass. She dropped the letter on the kitchen counter for her mother and Chad to see when they came home and she was off.
Marco and Hazel rolled their eyes as Paige began pacing back and forth.
"… I mean, she would have called me, right? You know, if she was planning on breaking up with me." Paige said and continued rambling on and on. Hazel turned to Marco.
"See, this is what happens when you suggest coming early for graduation to Paige. Now we're going to have to put up with this until Alex gets here or graduation begins." Marco raised an eyebrow at Hazel, a stunned look on his face.
"You don't think Alex would skip her own graduation to avoid Paige, do you?"
"I was merely saying whichever of the two came first, Marco. God, you're almost as bad as Paige." Both turned to look back at their friend who was still going on and on and hadn't noticed the conversation that had taken place between the two. Hazel looked back at Marco.
"Man, she has it bad!"
Alex wondered through the hallways of the apartment building looking for room 511 (lol, episode number for The Lexicon of Love, I couldn't help it!). When she had arrived, there had been a small piece of paper with, "Alex Nunez, room 511 " on it, leaving Alex wondering what Paige was up too.
'What's going on with you, Paige?' Alex thought as she approached the right door. Taking a deep breath, Alex knocked. To her surprise, the door wasn't closed and it opened farther once her knuckles rapped on it. Alex took this as a good sign and entered the room.
"Paige? It's Alex, I'm here. Where are you and why was the door open?" She called out. There was a squeak of a floorboard behind her and when Alex turned around to see what had caused the noise, she came face-to-face with something hard. Alex stumbled back and fell to the floor unconscious.
"Guys! It's going to start really soon and Alex STILL isn't here!" Paige cried as she ran up to Sean and Jay who just walked in. They exchanged glances before Jay left.
"I'll start up the car." He said over his shoulder. Sean nodded and turned back to Paige.
"We'll go over to her apartment and try to figure out where she is, don't worry." When Paige looked down at the floor sadly, Sean sighed. "She's not mad at you, Paige. As a matter of fact, she forced us back to the school yesterday to find you, but we saw you and Hazel driving off. It was our fault she didn't get here since Jay and I demanded ice cream first." Finally, Paige began to smile.
"Where do you think she is then?"
"I don't know, Paige. I really don't know!" He said to her before giving her a hug and then following Jay outside to his car.
Alex woke to the sounds of clicking metal and a few curses.
"… wish he would have showed me how to set this thing up before he left. If I ever see that bastard again, I'll…" Alex concluded that it wasn't her mom, because Chad would never leave, nor was it Chad, because none of her bones were broken. Thinking carefully, Alex remembered what had happened last.
"Paige?" She choked out, her throat dry and raw and in desperate need of water.
"No, not Paige. Amy." The voice said. Alex opened her eyes to see Amy standing by the window with something large behind her. Before Alex could say anymore, she felt a rag shoved into her mouth.
"Now, now. Let's not ruin the fun by calling for help. After all, that's not how the plan goes." Alex glared at Amy as the girl chuckled to herself.
"I know you hate me now, but trust me Alex, when I'm down here today, you'll be broke… destroyed… and it'll be all thanks to me." Alex screamed against the gag, but to no use. Amy continued to laugh.
"It's not use, Alex. You're tied up and gagged! Not to mention, you've got the best seat in the house for the upcoming show." Alex stopped struggling and looked out the window. Down below, she could see people gathering together for Degrassi's graduation day. She turned her attention back to Amy and was horrorstruck to see that the large thing behind Amy was a sniper rifle.
"Let's see if that perfect little Cheerbitch bleeds red like the rest of us." Alex could do nothing more than continue to struggle against the ropes binding her down.
"Alex?" Jay called into the vacant apartment. The silence gave Jay a weird feeling. Whenever he was here, there was noise. From fighting to the TV, even to the loud drunken snores from Emily and Chad. The apartment was never quite and it scared Jay, but it didn't stop Sean and him from entering the apartment and taking a look around. Sean checked the living room and kitchen while Jay wondered into her room. The bed was still unmade and messy clothes littered the floor, but her gown and cap for graduation were missing.
"Jay! I found something!" Sean called from the kitchen. Jay exited Alex's room and returned to the living room where Sean was reading something.
"What is it?"
"A letter… from Paige…" Sean replied as he finished reading it and handed it to Jay. Jay read over it, and then re-read it just to be sure.
"It's not from Paige, it's from Amy." Jay said as he took a closer look at the lettering.
"Are you sure?" Jay nodded.
"Positive. I've seen both girls right. When Paige writes, she pays attention to what she's writing and how she writes it. When Amy writes, it's rushed and no two letters look the same. Not to mention, if it was from Paige, then she wouldn't have come to us asking where Alex was."
"I never thought of that." Jay smiled and pulled his keys out.
"That's because I'm god Sean, never forget that!" Sean laughed and they raced back down to the car and headed towards the apartment where Amy told Alex to go.
Amy was still trying to get adjusted to the gun as Alex continued to wiggle and pushed against her restraints.
"Give it up already, Nunez. You girl is about to look death in the eye and you can't stop me." Alex screamed against the gag again, but still to no avail.
"You can thank another ex-member of the Candy Bandits for all this, Lexi. Towerz thought of everything… supplied me with the gun, rope, gag, apartment… I owe him one." She laughed insanely to herself as her attention returned to the gun. Alex was starting to freak out at this point, her mind racing.
'Paige! I have to stop her!' She thought.
"There! I think I'm ready now! Let's see where you're little dyke is, shall we?" Amy turned back to Alex to see the girl in tears.
"Already starting to mourn?" Alex became disgusted as Amy laughed. When she picked up the sniper and began aiming at Paige, Alex went from freaking out to angry psycho bitch. She could see Amy's finger go for the trigger and…
BOOM!!!! The shot was fired.
Jay and Sean were searching all through the apartment building, when they heard a gun shot from room 511. The boys ran down the hall and busted through the door to see Alex laying face down on the floor, Amy kicking the shit out of her, and a sniper rifle lying next to Alex.
"Little bitch! You kicked me! I can't believe it!" Amy cried out as she continued kicking Alex.
Paige felt her heart practically jump out of her throat when they heard the gunshot. She was standing with Marco and Hazel when a gunshot went off and a glass window broke across the street. She couldn't move as a bird fell from the sky and landed on the steps of Degrassi. Most of all, she feared that Alex was in trouble. When Marco and Hazel dragged Paige into the school, she could vaguely make out a figure in the window that looked somewhat familiar.
'Alex… I hope you're okay.' She thought.
"What the hell is going on here?" Jay asked as he ran to Alex's side. Sean was already restraining Amy.
"That little bitch kicked me while I was trying to blow off her little girlfriend's face! I MISSED!" She screeched. Jay untied Alex and removed her gag.
"You okay, Lexi?" He asked worriedly. She spat to the side and stood up, slightly wobbly.
"You'll pay bitch!" She yells and punches Amy in the face. Sean lets go of Amy, the force of the blow catching him off guard. Amy runs at Alex, who shoves her back. Jay and Sean watched shocked as Amy tripped backwards and grabbed onto Alex as she tumbled out the window.
Paige, Marco, and Hazel watched as the police and an ambulance around at the scene. The police were already on their way up to the apartment when two people came crashing out the window.
"Is that…?" Hazel started, but couldn't finish her sentence. Paige choked back the tears threatening to fall.
"Alex…" She cried out, sobbing into Marco's arm. He patted her back and looked on with horror as people began to gather around the bodies. Hazel began to tear up as well.
"T-That's got t-to be a-at least f-five stories up." She stuttered out. Marco glared at her, but his attention was soon back on Alex.
Jay and Sean gazed down below were Amy and Alex had fallen.
"Alex!" They called down together. Neither girl moved. Sean turned to Jay.
"She might be alright! Amy was below her and probably took most of the impact of the fall. She'll be fine." He said reassuringly.
"Are you telling this to me, or yourself?" Jay spat at him as he turned around and began to rush down below. Sean let out a shaky breath and followed him.
Paige sat in the waiting room at the hospital; both Marco and Hazel were embracing her. She saw Ellie crying into Sean's shoulder while Jay patted her back. Two hours ago, it was announced that Amy didn't make it and Alex was currently in a risky surgery that needed to be done to save her life. Finally, after what seem like forever, a doctor came out.
"Is the family of Alexandra Nunez here?" Jay stood up.
"I'm her brother." The doctor motioned for Jay to come over. After a minute of endless talking on the doctor's part, Jay came back. Sean, Ellie, Marco, and Hazel watched as he sighed and sat down in front of Paige. Much to her displeasure, he grabbed her hands.
"Jay…" She said weakly, but he smiled.
"She's gonna be okay. The doctor says she's had a few broken bones, a concussion, a little internal bleeding, and one ugly gash on her side, but she'll be fine. She's awake too, but they're not letting anyone see her until tomorrow. She's asking for you." Paige felt her heart lift and those words and embraced Jay.
"I hate you, you smell, but I LOVE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW!" Jay laughed as Paige began crying again, but instead of sad tears, they were happy.
"The doctor says only family can go in tomorrow, but I'll see to it that you get in." Paige smiled and hugged Jay again.
"I'm glad Alex has someone as great as you, but you still smell kinda funny." She said, lightening the mood.
"HEY!" He cried out.
Jay and Paige returned the next day around noon. The hospital was just as busy as yesterday, but Paige felt much better.
"So how are we going to get me in now?" She asked suspiciously. Jay smiled.
"Just go with it, okay?" Paige nodded, but kept a close eye on Jay. They approached the front desk.
"Good afternoon, sir. How may I help you?" The woman asked.
"I'm here to see my sister, Alexandra Nunez." The woman nodded and smiled before turning around a going through some files. After finding the file, she turned back to Jay.
"Yes, Alexandra Nunez. Well, it seems it's only family, so I'm afraid you're friend can't go in." She looked at Paige, no sighed of sympathy in her eyes. Paige sighed and was about to turn around when.
"Oh, I'm sorry. This is my wife, Paige Nunez. She's her sister-in-law, so that still counts as family, right?" The woman nodded.
"Yes, it does. Alexandra is in room 512 (the other Lexicon of Love episode! lol this is fun!)." Jay thanked her and lead Paige down the endless white hallways.
"I can't believe you just did that." She spat at him, trying to look as angry as she could at him. He smiled down at her.
"Don't even start; you get to see Alex, right? Besides, we both know that me saying Paige Hogart is even worse." Paige threw her hands up in the air and laughed.
"You're right, you're right! I'm sorry!" She said as they approached room 512. Jay nodded to Paige and they entered the room. When Paige got a good look at Alex, she gasped. Jay, feeling just as bad as Paige, wrapped his arm around her in a brotherly way. Paige leaned into her body, her mind engulfed in guilt.
"Alex?" Jay said softly, not to startle her. She was asleep looking as peacefully as she could be, only her body didn't reflect said peace. Her left leg and right arm were both in a cast, her midsection wrapped up tight as well as her head, while the rest of her body held make cuts, bruises, and quite a few gashes. Paige let go of Jay and sat down in a chair to Alex's left. Hesitantly, she held her hand up and brushed a stray hair out of Alex's face, causing the girl to stir. Jay went to Alex's right.
"Lexi? Lexi, it's Paige and Jay." Alex yawned and blinked, adjusting to her surrounding. Her eyes scanned the room until they fell upon Paige.
"P-Paige…" She choked out and then looked at a glass of water. Paige nodded and picked up the glass.
"Here baby." She said sweetly and held the glass out for Alex to drink from. Alex took a gulp from the glass, then pulled back.
"I love you." She said weakly, and then fell back asleep. Jay smiled to Paige.
"She had to get her point across." He whispered to her. Paige smiled and looked down at Alex.
"I love her too and I have a feeling that everything is okay to be okay now." She said as she leaned down and placed a kiss on Alex's lips, causing her to smile in her sleep.
The End (or is it?)
So sad... it's over! Well, no, I might make a squeal. Might is depending on how many people review and tell me how they liked it and WHY I should make a squeal. So yeah, that was wow, wasn't it? lol It came to me as I was writing the graduation scene and I was like, "Awesomeness! presses delete button a lot" And that's how it came to be! But really, what did you guys think? R & R, because I love you and you love Palex!
P.S. See... Birdy got shot! Oh no!
