"That explains why your brother tried to kill me earlier."
"Yeah...so..what are you thinking now?"
"I don't know..I need some time."
She looks down at her feet. "I understand, I'll go, take your time. I'll be around when you want to talk. You know where I live." She starts to undo her seatbelt.
After a few seconds he touches her hand. "Wait, let me drive you home."
"Really?"
"Yeah, really."
"You don't mind?"
"You shouldn't be on your feet, pregnant women need to rest."
Alex is shocked and smiles. "How do you know that?"
"I have three little brothers, my mom told me that if I ever got a girl pregnant, I needed to take care of her, and the number one thing was that they should be off their feet as much as possible."
"Well thats sweet, but I have nine little brothers and sisters and my mom was on her feet as much as she could. Although my dad did try to get her to rest a few times, but she wouldn't." They both laugh. Kevin starts the car and drives her home.
"I'd uh..walk you to the door...but I'm guessing I'm not your families most favorite person right now."
"You guessed right. Well uh..I guess I'l see you around."
"Yeah...I just..need time to..think about all this.."
"No problem..really..I understand. I haven't had much time to think about it either."
"Bye Alex."
"Bye Kevin."
She watches as his car pulls away. She stands outside in the driveway for a good ten minutes, tears falling down her face. She continues staring down the driveway,when suddenly she is broken from her trance by a high pitch voice.
"Alex, are you okay?" Young Melissa asks her big sister. Alex turns around and gives her little sister a fake smile.
"I'm fine kiddo, don't worry. What are you doing home from school so early?"
"We had a half day since its the last day of school."
"Oh...so that means that everyone is home."
"Yup, we are just making ice cream sundaes with mommy. You want to come make some with us?"
"Um....not right now. Listen, don't tell anyone I was home okay?"
"Why? Where are you going?"
"Be good okay. Please, don't tell anyone." Melissa starts to get scared and cry, she gives Alex a big hug.
"Are you coming back?"
"I just need to take a walk. I'll be back later."
"Promise?"
"Pinky promise." They lock pinkies, the Alex takes a walk down the driveway. Melissa wipes her tears and goes back into the house.
Authors note:
Thanks for the reviews, well for those who do review. I do wish more people would review though, because If I don't think anyone is reading then their isn't that much of a point to continuing it. lol. anyway, as you can tell in my story. Alex tells lies, but then tells the truth, and just has too many confusing and conflicting thoughts in her head. so if the story seems a little confusing when it comes to her, its because its supposed to be. but don't worry, it will all get straightened out.
