Early Monday Morning. The cliffhangers gather in the kitchen to prepare
for breakfast. Everyone is sitting down when Peter enters
Peter-Hey gang we have a lot of work to do in order to prepare for parents day Alex-Parents Day?? Peter-yes its Friday; I want you all to meet in the Art room after this, and me and Sophie have an activity planned out for you guys. Oh and Alex I would like to see you in my office as soon as your done. I'll see you guys in a while Alex- well I guess I'm in for a treat!!(She gets up and puts her dishes away and heads to Peter's office)
As she enters Peter sits at his desk reading through a file Peter-Oh hey Alex have a seat, I have a couple questions for you. Alex-Oh deer not this again (she says underherbreath) Peter-sorry what was that? Alex-Oh nothing9she sits down Peter-Alright As I told you before you have a pretty thin file Alex-ya so Peter-I tool the liberty of searching for more and I found the rest of your file someone conveniently left out. Alex is silent Peter- I think you know what was in it, now I just want to run it by you to make sure it is true Alex-ok Peter-Umm can you tell me what happend3 years ago? Alex- A lot of things happened 3 years ago specify Peter-July 19th? Alex was silent remembering back to that horrifying day Peter-Can you tell me what happened? Alex- I would rather not open that again Peter-It would probably help you. Let out what it stuck inside you Alex-No I can't. You don't understand how long I tried to overcome that, there is just so much that time wont erase!! I discovered that if I forget about it I wouldn't have to deal with all that pain for the rest of my life. Peter-did it work Alex-did what work Peter-Forgetting about it? Alex (a tear drips from her eye)-No. Every night I go to sleep with that picture in my head Peter-what picture Alex-my whole family who actually cared about me dead, murdered in their own beds. I wished who ever did it could have killed me as well, now I have to live with the fear of someone trying to kill me. Peter-Can you tell me what exactly happened? Take your time I know this is a very hard thing to talk about, but trust me if you just tell someone Alex(trying not to totally break down but still crying) I woke up, it seemed like just another day, I was getting ready for school, no one was usually up at that time, but I for some reason I went to got see my mom(pause) Peter (seeing that she is getting all tense) its ok takes your time Alex lets out a deep breath-my mother was dead, her throat was sliced open, her face was imprinted into my head forever, just lying there helpless. Peter-what about the rest of your family Alex-My father wasn't living with us at the time, he and my mother had just recently split up so it was just me, my mother and my little brother. He was only 2!! 2 and someone felt that they had to kill him, suffocate him with his own pillow. Peter-is that when you started to run Alex-well my father took me in, feeling that he had an obligation to, I would have been so much easier if he didn't, if he just sent me away to foster care. But he didn't he kept me, I couldn't live with him anymore, he didn't even care about how the death of my Mother and brother did to me. I've got passed the deaths but every time I talk about it it still hurts Peter-well of course it does, my father passed away a few months ago. At first I was a wreak but I dealt with it and every time I talk about it I still get all clammy and sad. Alex-I'm sorry to hear that Peter-but life goes on right, somehow you have managed to get here, and that's good, we can help you deal with it. I can especially relate to you and what your going through, I know how hard it is to loose some one you love. Now I'm sorry to ask you this I know it isn't the perfect time but I need to know, did you father ever hurt you, I know that what you told me before, when you first got here was a lie, so I need to know Alex (paused)-No he never touched me Peter could tell that she wasn't exactly telling the truth about the abuse but didn't push her any further Peter- Alright well if you want you can be excused from the activity; I know it was probably emotionally draining on you to tell me what you just told me Alex-No If I don't do something I'll just end up sulking the rest of the day Peter- all right well you can head over to the Art room, that's were everybody should be going right now. Alex-umm where is the Art room? Peter (laughs) - Its ok I'll take you their I'm heading there as well I just have to finish one thing and then we can go.
