"Learn some fucking respect you fucking piece of shit." Alex growled at him, while the camera flashed, and she knew that they were on camera and this would be all over the news within the next half hour, so she turned to Piper, grabbed her by the arm, pulled her close, and kissed her deeply, before she turned back to the cameras and said "No, this isn't some slut, and I don't ever want you to ever call either one of these women that again. This woman right here" Alex said as she held onto Piper tightly "Is the love of my life." Before the two women turned around, grabbing Helena and walked inside the building.
Once instead the building, the first thing Alex did was ask for security to escort the reporters off the property, which was quickly granted. The second thing Alex did, she asked for some ice. "You know, that was pretty cool." The young girl told Alex as she handed her the ice pack.
"It was nothing" Alex mumbled as she took the ice pack, as she watched the security escort the reporters away from the door, but she knew it was only a matter of minutes before the footage was all over the news. Once the reporters were all gone, Alex turned her attention back to the girl, and said "By the way, Helena Chapman. I spoke to Kelly on the phone yesterday."
"Right" The young girl said as she quickly fumbled through the papers at the counter. "Please have a seat, Kelly will be with you shortly" The young girl told her, and Alex nodded her head, before the three of them walked over to the chairs, and sat down.
The minute they sat down, Alex knew she was in trouble, Piper wouldn't look at her, and didn't even bother trying to hide her anger. "Well fuck" She mumbled to herself, but before either of the other women could say anything, another woman joined them, and Alex recognized her as Kelly. "Alex, how nice to see you again, how is Nicky?" Kelly asked as Alex stood up to greet the woman.
"She is good, she says hello." Alex smiled before she introduced Piper and Helena.
"Nice to meet you, please follow me to my office" Kelly told the women, before she led them through doors, and down a hallway. When they entered the office, they saw another female standing there, who Alex didn't know. "This is Casandra, she is one of the nurses here. Who will be in charge of where Helena will be" Kelly explained.
The women exchanged their greetings, before they all took a seat, and that is when Kelly noticed that Helena's leg was starting to shake. "Helena? Have you taken something today?" Kelly asked, which made Alex and Piper turn their head to face the young blonde, while the girl in question, sent Kelly a death glare.
"You told us you didn't have anything in the house" Piper snapped, already in a mood, thanks to Alex.
"Well I lied, alright?" Helena snapped right back with a roll of her eyes.
Just as Piper was about to say something to her daughter, Kelly interrupted the blonde's thought "Alright, please Helena can you tell me what you took?" Kelly asked
"Percocet" Helena mumbled, and again, Piper was about to snap, but just before she could, Kelly interrupted again.
"Thank you" Kelly told her with a nod of her head, and then folded her hands, and then stood up before she said "Alex, Piper, I am going to give you two a moment to say goodbye to Helena."
Once the two other women had left the room, it had finally hit Helena, where she was, and why. She knew she had to say goodbye to her mother, and Alex, and finally the fear hit her. "Am I going to be okay?" Helena asked, as tears filled her eyes.
"You're going to be perfect" Alex smiled before she quickly wrapped the young blonde in her arms, before Piper hugged her as well.
"We will see you in a couple weeks, I love you so much" Piper told her as she squeezed her daughter, never wanting to let her go, as she fought back tears.
"I love you too Kid" Alex told her, as she too was holding back tears, because she knew how Helena was feeling.
After a few more minutes, Kelly and Casandra walked back into the room, before Casandra told Helena to follow her, both of them leaving the room, shutting the door behind her. "Know is there anything I should know about Helena, any medical problems?" Kelly asked once the other two girls were gone.
"She has Celiac Disease, and she just had surgery, to remove an ovarian cyst, and her appendix." Piper informed her.
Kelly nodded her head, as she wrote down the information, before she asked "Anything else?"
Piper shook her head, and before she was about to answer, Alex answered for her "I am not a medical professional, but Helena was explaining to us why she used drugs, and is there anyway you guys can check for any mental illnesses? Alex asked, earning a look from both Kelly and Piper. "What she was sounded very similar to being bipolar" Alex told them.
"Of course, that is all a part of the rehab, Alex you should know." Kelly told her and Alex smiled, because she did know that, she didn't know why she forgot. "Now is there anything else?" Kelly asked, needing to know.
"No there isn't" Piper told her, and the next several minutes the two women sat with Kelly going over everything, where Kelly answered any questions either woman had, before they said goodbye, and left the building.

The car ride was silent, and it wasn't until they were almost half way home, when Alex couldn't take it anymore. "Okay, Pipes, please talk to me" Alex pleaded
Quickly, the blonde just chuckled before she snapped "What? What do you possibly want me to say? You punched a man in the face."
All Alex could do was nod her head, because she knew there would be some kind of consequence for that, but at the same time, she knew the guy deserved it. "Pipes, did you not hear what he was saying?" Alex asked
"Yes, Alex I heard him. But didn't you take into consideration that now everyone is going to know that Helena was walking into a rehab. And if you and I are walking free, now everyone is going to know she has a problem." Piper snapped as she explained before she added "Did you even think about that?"
Right then did it finally hit Alex of what she did, she didn't even stop to think of the consequences of hitting that guy. "Pipes, I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking, I know it's not an excuse, but I couldn't stand the way he was talking, I don't care what they say about me, but I can't stand by, and listen to them talk about you and Helena that way." Alex tried to explain, and she finally got through to the blonde, just a little bit, as she saw the blonde nod her head slowly.
"I get that Alex, I do. I didn't like the way he was talking either, and if this was any other day, I would have probably jumped you in two seconds, after seeing you punch him like that, but given the circumstances today, that is what bothers me." Piper explained to the blonde, and Alex raised her eye brow just a bit, as they turned into the driveway, and Alex hit the button for the gate.
"So, it turned you on, to see me hit someone?" Alex teased with a smirk, trying to lighten the mood.
"Shut up" Piper smiled right back, as she hit the older woman slightly on the arm.
"That's what I thought" Alex smirked once more, as they pulled up in front of the garage. "But Pipes, don't worry, I will make sure Helena is protected" Alex promised as she smiled over at the blonde.
As Alex killed the engine, hitting the garage button in the process, and just before the two women got out of the car, Piper turned in her seat just a bit to face the darker haired woman, before asking "You think Helena has bipolar?"
Alex slowly nodded her head, as she looked Piper in the eyes, before she said "Like I told Kelly, I am not a doctor, but Pipes the signs are there. But I could be wrong."
As the blonde took in the information, all she could do was nod her head, before she opened the car door and got out, without saying a word. But just as Alex was about to follow her, her cell phone rang, and she quickly looked at the screen and saw it was Jodi, and before she could even say hello, she heard her bestie screaming through the phone. "What the hell Alex, you fucking punched a reporter?"
Alex took a deep breathe "Please, Jodi, let me explain…." She began but Jodi quickly cut her off.
"What is there to explain Alex? It's all over the news…" Jodi snapped, but this time it was Alex who was cutting her off.
"The whole thing?" Alex asked, taking another deep breath.
"Yes Alex the whole thing, you fucking punched him." Jodi snapped once more.
"Including the part where they followed me, and was calling Helena names?" Alex asked still trying to keep her cool.
This time it was Jodi taking in a deep breath as she once again tried to explain to her best friend "Alex, the whole thing, the name calling, the following, and lets not forget you punching the guy, and knocking him to the ground."
"Then you see why I had to do it right?" Alex asked
"Alex, I see that, I would have done the same thing, but seriously Alex?" Jodi snapped again. "You're lucky he isn't pressing charges, he must know he won't stand up in court, but you can't go around punching people."
In an instant, Alex felt her blood begin the lower, but she wasn't sure she heard her friend correctly, "Wait, he isn't pressing charges?" Alex asked confused.
"No, he isn't your lucky, I was able to do some damage control, but Alex this is all over the place, everyone wants answers." Jodi explained.
"Answers about what?" Alex asked still confused.
Once again, Jodi took in another deep breath, before she asked "Did you hit your head or something?"
"No, but it has been a really fucking stressful day" Alex snapped. "So what the fuck are you talking about?"
"Well you did profess your love for Piper, and now its all over national TV." Jodi told her "And everyone would like answers. And lets not forget the fact that you were walking inside a rehab."
"Oh, fuck" Alex mumbled because she knew exactly what was going through Jodi's mind right now, and she needed to clarify it, before her best friend really went into a frenzy. "Jodes, it's not what you think, it's not for me. It's for Helena." Alex told her, and within seconds she heard an almost silent gasp from the other end.
"What?" Jodi asked in disbelief. "Why does she need rehab? That girl is as good as they come." Jodi told her still in shock.
"Yeah, well there has been some issues, don't worry they are being handled, I got this" Alex told her before she quickly corrected herself "I mean, Piper and I have got this."
The line was silent for a few seconds before Jodi finally spoke again, "Are you sure? Do you want me to see if…." Jodi began but Alex quickly cut her off.
"NO!" Alex snapped before she lowered her voice "I mean, no, sorry, we got this. She is in good hands. She is where Nicky and I went."
"Are you sure Alex?" Jodi asked once again.
"Yes, I am sure Jodi, we got this okay, just let it go." Alex told her once more, as she ran her hand through her hair "I will call you later, okay? I gotta go" Alex told her, not even bothering to wait for a reply, before she hung up the phone.

The darker haired woman waited a few minutes, allowing herself to cool off, before she walked inside the house, when she heard Piper shout from the kitchen. "Alex, you have some weird message on the answering machine."
Alex quickly groaned, as she rolled her eyes, she didn't know if this day could get any worse, but she was about to find out very quickly that it could. "From who?" Alex asked as she walked into the kitchen.
"Some guy named Jason, something about hair and makeup" Piper told her as she pressed play on the machine.
"Hey Alex, just wanted to remind you that I will be at your house around 5:30, I have the perfect style for your hair and makeup tonight. Oh, and Kyle has the perfect dresses, well two that he thinks will look great on you. K, see you then."
Once the message ended, Alex mumbled "Fuck" as she rubbed her hands across her face.
"So anything you want to explain?" Piper asked, still confused.
Alex just threw her hands in the air in a sign of defeat as she said "Well Pipes, find yourself a dress or something, because you and I are making our first red carpet appearance tonight."
