Summer gazed at Jodie for a split second, making Marissa shiver. Marissa didn't know what to do. Being able to read her best friend like a book, she could already tell that Summer knew. It hurt. Why didn't anyone tell her? Why was she the only one who didn't know? She had been so clueless, so dumb. She should have known. Marissa frowned. Was that part of the reason Alex had be avoiding her? Because Ryan had been inside her? She gazed at Alex. She wished Alex was awake. Not only because she loved Alex, but she wanted answers too. Answer only Alex had. Answers she wanted.

If that didn't kill her, the fact that she could've been pregnant back then and not have known why would. What if they hadn't told her and she had gotten pregnant? She would have a baby and Alex to worry about. And one of them wouldn't be wanted. Sure she wanted a kid eventually, but not at her age, not with a suicidal Alex. But still, what would've happened? Would a baby have stopped Alex's change? Or would it have sped up the process? She couldn't stop questioning herself, pouring question after question into her mind where they would rarely leave.

Marissa's eyes widened as she eyed Alex's hand move, all of her previous thoughts disappearing to the back of her mind. Alex was waking up. Alex was coming back to the real world. She couldn't believe it. The doctors had said months, maybe years, and it had only been a day or so, maybe less. It was a miracle. She opened her mouth wide to announce Alex's awakening, but no words came out. She was mute, but it was a good type a mute, a happy mute. It was that type of mute she had first gotten when she saw Alex for the first time, when she and Alex shared their first kiss. It took her breath away. Her wishes had worked. Her hand flew up to her mouth, tears of joy spilling out of her eyes.

"Alex, you're awake!" she managed to find her voice, stealing her hand. She didn't even recall moving over to Alex side. "Baby, you're awake," she sobbed, bringing the girl's hand to her mouth. Everything she had previously filled her mind left. Her mind, her thoughts, they all ran out of her body. The only thing running through her form was blood and Alex. She kissed the girls hand once more. She couldn't believe that Alex was actually awake. It was all too happy. For the past months, everything that had happened to her always turned out bad. But now, now it was turning out good, or at least somewhat good. With her free hand, she wiped a few tears from her eyes, a bright smile lighting her face.

"Marissa…" Alex breathed out, her voice fragile. Marissa poured her attention onto Alex, not missing one breath. At this moment, she could be a heart monitor she was so focused, taking in anything about Alex that changed. There wasn't anything she was missing. If Alex moved, she was the first to notice it. If she stopped breathing, even for a second, she noticed it. "I love you," Alex managed a weak smile that lit not only her lips but her eyes. It was a true smile. The smile Marissa had longed to see for the past few months. Her Alex, the old Alex was coming back. She could tell. Marissa smiled, jaw dropped open, her voice taken away. "Jodie, how did you get here?" Alex looked over at her ex. Marissa smirked. Nothing could bother her right now. Alex was happy, and for now, that was all that mattered.

"I found you in the bathroom a few nights ago, when you cut yourself, don't you remember?" Jodie informed the girl. Alex shook her head no. Marissa bit her lip.

"I thought you moved to Canada. What are you doing in Newport?" Marissa nearly collapsed to the ground in shock. Alex didn't remember anything about moving to Canada. Marissa gulped. What did Alex remember? Marissa sighed. She had never once thought that Alex would loose her memory from that. It wasn't like she had hit her head. "I am in Newport, right?" Alex spoke up, the unsettling silence getting to her. Marissa couldn't answer. She wanted to, but the shock was too much. It consumed her. She was going to have to tell Alex what happened.

"You're in Canada, baby. We moved here a few months ago," Marissa finally found her voice after a couple minutes. She couldn't believe Alex didn't remember. Still, somehow, it made her happy. Alex's eyes grew wide. "Alex, what's the last thing that you remember?" Marissa was desperate to know. If Alex didn't remember anything, maybe she could get things back to the way it was before Alex shot Ryan. She could have old Alex back. As Alex thought and Marissa worried, Seth, Summer and Jodie slipped out of the room unnoticed, letting the couple have a moment alone. Unknown to anyone, another person entered the room, standing in the corner where no one would notice her. Marissa could feel the presence, but thought nothing of it for the moment, too consumed by Alex.

"I remember the bonfire… and I remember her…" Alex averted her eyes to the girl standing in the corner. Marissa turned to where Alex was looking, only to find a familiar face that she didn't want to see again. "And the beach…. There was a note…" Alex tried her hardest to remember. Marissa wasn't listening though. Since she had received that note from Jodie, she had been thinking about the stalker. Hearing that Alex remembered Taylor was enough to answer her question. She recalled earlier that Taylor had said she had never met Alex, yet Alex had met Taylor. She believed Alex more than Taylor, meaning Taylor was lying. Everything Taylor had said was a lie. "She...gave it to me," Marissa's eyes flashed open. Taylor was the stalker.
