Chapter 10

knock, knock

Marissa heard someone knocking on the door.

"Dad, door!"

Jimmy walked to the door and opened it to a very upset Alex.

"Whats wrong, hon" Jimmy said

"My mom, kicked me out. Can I talk to Marissa please"

"Sure, sure. Come in. Marissa!"

"What dad, I was-" Marissa saw Alex and cut herself off, she walked over to her girlfriend and hugged her.

"Oh my god, whats wrong" Marissa whispered.

"My mom kicked me out, I didn't know what to do"

Marissa continued to hug her and comfort her. She pecked her on the forehead, and Jimmy walked over to them.

"You can stay with us, do you have some bags In your car?" Jimmy asked.

Alex nodded.

"I'll get them" Jimmy said, stopping Alex from doing it.

"Thanks" Alex mumbled.

"Why did she kick you out" Marissa said, as she brushed Alex's hair behind her ears, and out of her face.

"Because I was out all night, and she woke up and Jodie was on the couch, and I was gone. She said, I was beginning to act like I was in LA, and I told her I changed but she wouldn't listen. And she's leaving the city. So I have no where to go"

"Well you're here now" Marissa said.

Marissa sighed. She hated seeing Alex upset. Alex had such a rebellious attitude and image, but she knew Alex was a softie on the inside, but she hated seeing Alex hurt like this. She wiped away Alex's tears and kissed her tear stained cheek.

"It'll be okay" Marissa said.

Marissa was doing her best at comforting Alex. Marissa wasn't good at comforting anyone, usually. But comforting Alex seemed to come naturally to her.

Alex began to calm down, as she remained in Marissa's arms. She felt safe there. Knowing Marissa cared seemed to relax her.

Jimmy walked through the door carrying and dragging Alex's bags.

Alex walked over and took some, to help him out.

"Thanks" Alex said.

"Your welcome"

"Dad, where is she going to sleep?"

"I don't know, can I trust you enough for her to say in your room until I get the guest room fixed up...."

"Yes dad"

"Okay......go show Alex to your room, and bring her bags up" Jimmy said even thought he wasn't keen on Alex and Marissa sleeping in the same room.

Marissa led the way carrying a couple bags, and Alex followed behind carrying bags as well.

"I'm sorry, for barging in like this"

"Are you kidding, I'm glad you came here" Marissa said.

They entered Marissa's room and they sat the bags on the ground. Alex leaned up against the wall, looking broken and confused.

"Are you going to be okay" Marissa said as she stood in front of the blonde.

"I'll be fine" Alex leaned her head back lightly hitting it against the wall.

Marissa smiled. She loved it when Alex tried to be tough, even though it was so clear that she was scared and upset.

Marissa walked closer to her, and put her hands on Alex's hips.

"Does it hurt...Your mom kicking you out"

"Yes" Alex answered in one word.

"I'm sorry"

Alex looked at Marissa, and connected with her eyes.

"For what?"

"For getting you kicked out"

"It wasn't your fault" Alex said, being honest. She didn't put the blame on Marissa at all.

"I left, you chased after me"

"Chasing after you was my choice" Alex said with a smile.

"I'm glad you did though" Marissa said.

"Me too"

Alex brushed Marissa's hair out of her face and grazed Marissa's lips with hers. Kissing Marissa made her feel weak, in a good way. Marissa deepened the kiss, and pressed her body against Alex's. Alex felt her sadness slowly disappear and happiness replaced it. Marissa broke the kiss, and they both took deep breaths of air.

Marissa pecked Alex on the lips, and then on the cheek.

Alex smiled.

"I'm here, if you ever want to talk" Marissa said.

"I know" Alex smiled again.

Alex hugged Marissa, she loved the embrace. Although Alex was afraid of hurting Marissa if she hugged her to hard, because she seemed so fragile.

Jimmy walked upstairs and stood in the doorway. He cleared his throat to get there attention.

Alex let go and turned to face him.

"Feeling better?" He asked, concern actually evident in his voice.

Alex nodded yes.

"Thats good, do you guys want some food?"

"sure" Marissa said.

"Okay I'll call for delivery. I was going to invite the Cohen's over for supper tonight. If that's okay with you guys"

"It's fine dad. Seth and Alex are good friends"

"Okay" Jimmy said.

"What time is it?" Marissa asked.

"Four"

"In the afternoon? Already?"

"Marissa you and Alex spent all night running back and forth, outside in the rain. And you guys spent the morning together, and Alex spent the afternoon getting kicked out. Time goes by fast"

Jimmy walked downstairs and called the Cohen's.

Alex and Marissa laughed lightly.

Marissa leaned into Alex and lightly kissed her again.

"I'm glad your here" Marissa said.

"Me too, although I'm not happy I got kicked out"

Marissa smiled and took Alex's hand in hers.

They walked downstairs and into the living room. They sat on the couch and Marissa turned on the TV.

Jimmy walked into the room, portable phone in hand.

"The Cohen's will be here in an hour"

"Okay"Marissa said

"Wanna help me in the kitchen" Jimmy said, more of an order than a question.

The girls got up and made their way into the kitchen. They helped cooked and goofed around a little, Marissa threw some carrots at Alex, and Alex fought back by throwing some back at her. Alex started to cut up some fruit, because Jimmy had asked her to. She walked behind Marissa and held out a piece of an orange. Marissa opened her mouth and Alex placed the orange into it. Marissa turned around and Pecked her on the lips.

Alex smiled and walked away, and went back to doing her job.

Finally, the cooking was done and There was a knock at the door.

"Will someone get that!" Jimmy yelled.

Alex looked over at Marissa who had her hands full with setting the table. Alex walked to the door and opened it.

"Hello, Alex" Kirsten said.

"Hi, Mrs. Cohen. Come in"

They entered the house, Seth slowly trailing behind.

"Hey" He said greeting Alex. He threw his arms around her and hugged her tightly.

"Seth, can't breath"

"Sorry" He said with a smile and let her go.

"So you're living with Marissa Cooper now"

"How did you know?"

"Marissa's dad told my dad that you got kicked out and you'll be staying with them for a while"

"Oh"

Seth draped his arm around Alex's shoulder, and they walked into the kitchen.
