Can We Survive?
*~Prolouge~*
(In my fanfic the non-wedding took place at the end of November , Skye had already came to town and her and Jax have a relationship. Skye and Alexis are good friends and Chloe is dead but she died when the car hit her, during the mixed marriages, not because Stavros came back form the dead(because he will be coming back in another way along with a couple other characters who I might decide need to come back. Plus I'll be adding a few of my own). Ned and Skye are running ELQ together, but Edward has promised it to AJ if he had brought Michael back into the Quatermaine household and he has succeeded. The whole Courtney thing has happened and he is still married to her. I'm mixing past events with some of what is happening now and then adding my own twists and turns.
Alexis has left Ned at the alter and she hasn't seen or heard from him since he told her it was over mainly because she's been avoiding him and trying to stay busy and the same goes for Ned. It's now December (two days before Christmas) and they are both in attendance to Jax and Skye's wedding. Alexis is Skye's maid of honor and Ned is Jax' best man. The inevitable of Ned and Alexis seeing each other for the first time since their own wedding is taking place as their eyes have been having mysterious conversations all night long. Alexis is outside standing on the balcony and is going out side but when he sees Alexis he watches her for a minute looking pained that he' not with her and then turns around to go back inside but Alexis stops him.)
*~Chapter 1~*
*** The Balcony***
Alexis: ( vulnerable) Ned wait (he stops and turns around)
Ned: (coldly) Why?
Alexis: We need to talk.
Ned: Alexis there's nothing to talk about I already told you it's over. (starts to go back inside again).
Alexis: (desperate) Please Ned...don't do this...(softly) I love you
Ned: ( his heart breaking) No you don't and I don't want to hear you say that again. (leaves)
(Skye comes outside followed by Jax)
Alexis: (trying to be happy) Congratulations!
Skye: Thank you, but you don't have to do this.
Alexis: Do what?
Jax: You know what Alexis. You don't need to pretend to be happy and act like everything is ok. Because everything is not ok.
Skye: It's ok to be sad or mad or whatever your feeling.
Jax: And if Chloe were here she'd be telling you the same thing. Just let go of it all and let yourself cry or do whatever you need to get through this. I'm here and Skye is here, it's ok to lean on somebody.
Alexis: That won't accomplish anything I just need to work that's all I know how to do and with some time hopefully this will pass...hopefully.
Skye: Ned loves you (Alexis looks doubtful), he does. He just needs some time to think and when he realizes what a mistake he's made you guys will work through it together
Alexis: I don't think so, but thanks for trying to help. It did on some level. Ned is serious this time and I think I just need to be alone. (kind of cheerful) Now this is your wedding day go enjoy it, don't worry about me I'll be fine I promise I won't break.
Jax: Are you sure?
Alexis: Yeah. (shooing them away)now go, go, go, go have fun
Skye: If you need anything, anything it all whether it's just to talk or something I'm available i don't care whether it's noon or 2 am....
Alexis: I'll call you I promise, (they hug and Jax and Skye go back inside). But what I need is Ned.
