Chapter 4
Her eyes widened as she stared up at the man in front of her. She could feel her throat ache as a sob started to rise; the tears threatened to fall. She wasn't heart broken she was infuriated. Infuriated because Simon actually had the nerve to come back to her home led alone her bedroom. Simon cleared his throat. "Hi Rachel," He whispered. She stared up at him; her eyes aflame, angry tears started to fall. "What are you doing here?" Her question demanding for an answer. "Here to see if you are okay." He replied his voice light. "I'm glad that you're okay. I see you got the locket back." Simon had said as he gestured to the locket now around her neck. "Now that you've seen that I'm fine, Simon. Goodbye." Rachel reached toward the handle of the door and attempted to close the door. "Alec" He stated blankly, about to turn away. "What?" She asked her voice shaky, "My name… it's Alec." As that was said Alec had vanished, jumping down from the balcony and was gone. Rachel wheeled on to the balcony and looked after him; she saw his figure walking away towards the darkness of the night. "Alec…" She whispered inaudibly.

He was walking again, walking away from his problems. He was once again walking away from Rachel. He couldn't talk to her now it just wasn't him. Alec wasn't the type of guy to open up his heart. He had never done that before. He was so infuriated at himself, why did he even go there? Why did he have to go see her? All those questions pointed to one answer… he loved her. Alec headed through a small crowd of people, into an alley and headed through the door of the crash. He spotted the Jam Pony gang and walked towards their table. "Hey guys." He said with his trademark smirk. "What's up?" "Hey Long time no see, what's up with you? You okay?" Max asked him in return "I'm always okay." Alec replied, but his eyes deceived him. Max got up and grabbed Alec's forearm, pulling him aside. "I heard that Rachel woke up from the coma." "I know, I went to go see her." Alec stated. "Are you okay?" Max asked once again. "I've already answered that question Max, I'm always okay, now if you excuse me I'm gonna go play pool with Sketchy." Max stared after Alec as he walked towards the pool table, making bets to win the money. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a girl with wavy brown hair and big brown eyes come in through the door of the crash. Max's eyes widened as she placed the girl's face with one embedded in her memory it was Rachel.
Rachel's large brown eyes danced lively at the site of drunk people, and crowds of people gathered around the pool tables. She had never been to any clubs like this before, mainly because she was underage. She hated the way people stared at her, she couldn't help but wonder why they did, was it because she was in a wheel chair or was it some other reason. Nonetheless it was still very uncomfortable. More so when some drunken young man asked her to go home with him, but a bolder stood in front of her and the young man was tossed aside never to try to 'pick' her up again. Alec turned around as he looked at her with concerned eyes. Rachel was once again drowning in the ocean blue eyes she had loved years ago, she was speechless.
Rachel knew she may be doing the wrong thing in coming to the crash, but she had to talk to Alec. Even though he had broken her heart, she couldn't forget the pain in his eyes when she had spoken so coldly to him. She wanted to know the truth, and somewhere in her heart she knew that Alec had cared for her. He cared when he so hastily grabbed her to save her from the explosion, how he had told her to leave town. Sure he was sent to kill her father, but in a sense she didn't think he really intended to. It just hurt the way he had told her that she was his job, that he was using her to kill her father. It hurt that she trusted him as Simon, and now was deceived once again. Still, she could see the urgency in Simon's eyes as he desperately tried to save her from the inevitable. How he called her name as she pulled her father from the car explosion that had almost took her life.
Though he was part of why that had happened she still couldn't blame him for it. Her father did though, and that was why he went after him to kill him for what Alec did to her. Even though Alec was partly at fault for the coma Rachel would never wish him dead. She couldn't help but remember what she felt for him. Although he didn't love her, she couldn't ignore the fact that she loved him.
Alec had said her name more than a dozen times before she could shake her gaze from his eyes. Coming back to reality a small shaky smile appeared on her face. "Thanks." Alec looked at her again his face serious, "Why are you here Rachel?"
