The past two weeks has been breaking Ty's heart. He had never seen Alex so distant and hurt like this before. He was so afraid to touch her. He was so afraid he would make her think about her attackers. Her face and body was healing, but her insides weren't. He could see in her eyes that she was still in pain. September wasn't a good month for her and this just made it worse.
Alex sat in the window seat looking out to the New York streets, watching the rain pounding on the pavement. She tucked her knees underneath her chin. Ty sat down next to her. She flinched slightly.
"I'm going to order Chinese food." Ty said softly, "Any requests?" Alex shook her head.
"I'm not hungry." She said.
"Alex....You need to eat." He said taking her hand.
"Don't you have work?" She asked. Ty shook his head.
"I asked for a leave of absence until your well enough to go back to work." He said softly. Alex sighed and got up.
"I need to be alone." She said. Ty got up and followed her.
"Well, you're not going to be." He said, "Being alone is the last thing you need. You need me."
"No I don't!" She snapped. "I DONT NEED YOU!!" Ty looked at her, feeling hurt, but knowing it was just her emotions taking over.
"Alex, I'm not going to leave you. You're going to go relax in bed and wait until the food is delivered. Then we're going to curl up in bed and watch TV." Ty said looking at her. Alex's face turned green and she ran to the bathroom. She fell to her knees and threw up in the toilet. Ty groaned, "See Alex? You got yourself worked up. Go relax in bed." Alex sat on the bathroom floor and started to cry.
"I f-feel so lost and sc-scared." She sobbed. Ty sighed deeply and walked into the bathroom. He knelt down beside her.
"I know, Baby." He whispered, "But I'm here. Let me hold you and you won't be lost anymore."
"It's been two weeks and I'm so sick of being terrified. The thought of going outside makes me sick to my stomach." Alex said, "The thought of.... Being alone in this huge house makes me even sicker."
"It's only been two weeks, Alex. It's going to take a long time to heal from this." Ty said. "I'll be here every step of the way though, Okay?" She nodded slowly.
"I know you will be. I never questioned that." She said. As she looked at him, "Can we get egg rolls?" Ty burst out laughing.
"Yeah we can." He kissed Alex's forehead and stood up.
"Thank you." She watched Ty leave and call the Chinese place. She stood up and splashed water on her face. She stared at herself in the mirror. There was now a tiny scar on her lip and probably numerous scars beneath her hair. Alex dried her face off and walked out.
"The food should be here in twenty." He said. Alex smiled curling up on the couch.
"Sounds good." She said. Ty watched Alex carefully. She was putting a brave face on for him. His arm slipped around her and he hugged ehr gently. She looked at him and smiled gently. "I'm not really feeling huingry anymore."
"You will when the food gets here." Ty said. Alex sighed softly, but nodded. The doorbell rang and Ty got up. She watched him pay fo the food and bring it back. Just those few seconds when he stepped outside she started to panic. She was only alone for a few seconds, but she was still panicy. "You okay?"
"Yeah." She smiled looking at the food, "I seriously dont think I can handle food right now." Ty frowned and felt her forehead.
"Do you feel really ill?" He asked. Alex nodded.
"It's probably just nerves." She shrugged. "I can handle some white rice probably." Ty smiled and got her some rice.
"You do need to keep some food in your stomach." He said.
"I know, Father." Alex chuckled leaning back and nursing her bowl of rice. She glanced over at the eggrolls. Ty gave her a wink.
"You sure you don't want some of these?" He asked.
"Save me one." She said slowly eating her rice. Alex looked at Ty, "I think I need to talk to someone."
"Talk to someone about what?" Ty asked.
"I think, I need to talk to a therapist about my attack." She said. Ty looked at her.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"Yes. I don't want to live my life in a panic and scared haze." She said, "I want to get back to work and make my dad proud." Ty smiled softly.
"If thats what you want, Alex, I will help you. We can look into it in the morning, okay?" He asked. Alex nodded.
"Thank you, Ty." She smiled softly as she continued to eat. Alex defentally needed help. Maybe she'd be able to deal with her pain better.
