Chapter 7-Making It All Better The following day
Alex was asleep on her couch. That is as far as she made it the night before. She cried herself to sleep, upset over Ty. He was such a great guy, someone she never thought she would find. Sure enough something happens to screw it all up. The sound of the phone ringing startled her awake.
"Hello," she answered.
"Hey Alex, it's Kim."
"Hey Kim. What's up?"
"I talked to Ty."
"I still don't know if I want to hear what he said."
"I really think you should talk to him."
"You said that last night."
"I know, but now I have more reasons behind that."
"Fine, what did he say?"
"You really want me to tell you?"
"Yes Kim, just tell me," Alex said somewhat frustrated.
"He told me that he didn't say anything to his mom because when you first started seeing each other you told him you didn't want other people to know and he you hadn't said anything different since then. He didn't want to hurt you by telling her until you were ready."
"Is that what he said?"
"I may be missing a word here and there, but that pretty much sums it up."
"I have to go talk to him."
"Yeah you do."
"Thanks a lot Kim. I don't know what I would do without you."
"You won't have to worry about that. Just go talk to your man."
"I will. I'll see you later."
As soon as Alex hung up the phone she grabbed her jacket and headed for the hospital. She had overreacted. Nothing new for her. She just hoped it wasn't too late to apologize to Ty. She got to his room and saw that he was still sleeping. She let him sleep figuring that would be the best thing for him right now. Eventually Alex dosed off in the chair next to his bed.
"Alex.Alex."Ty said trying to wake her up.
"Hey there," he said when she opened her eyes. He was so happy just to see her there.
"Hey."
"I'm glad you are here. I need to talk to you."
"I talked to Kim, she told me what you said."
"I didn't want her to, I wanted to talk to you myself."
"I know, I was being stubborn. She had to tell me."
"I had no idea why you were upset."
"I know. It was stupid and I'm sorry."
"It wasn't stupid Alex. You are entitled to your feelings. I never thought it would hurt you, I did it so I wouldn't hurt you."
"I know. I never thought about what I had said. I figured since Kim, Carlos and Sully knew that it was pretty much common knowledge. I guess I assumed that because they are the people we see everyday."
"You told me you didn't want people knowing, so I honored that request. Sully is the only one I told and that was after he had already pretty much figured it out."
"I know, I only told Kim because she asked me about it."
"If you want people to know, I will tell anyone and everyone. It's up to you. I don't care either way."
"I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions. I don't know what I would do without you."
"Hopefully you won't have to worry about that anytime soon. I don't want to have to worry about that either."
"You won't have to," she said as she leaned over and kissed Ty.
"Am I interrupting?" Ty's mother said as she walked into the room. She was also giving Ty the motherly 'care to tell me what is going on' look.
"Mom, you remember Alex?"
"Yes, I do."
"I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sooner, but she and I have been dating for about a month now."
"I'm glad to hear it. I told you I thought she was a nice girl. Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"It's complicated."
"Well I'm glad I know now. It seems like you have found a good one in her."
"I have. I definitely have," he answered his mom looking at Alex who was now blushing.
"Well, the doctor said that you should be able to come home today. I'll go talk to him."
"Thanks mom," Ty said as she walked out.
"So how long are you going to be out?" Alex asked.
"The doctor said anywhere between one to two months."
"That's not too bad."
"No it's not. I got that whole speech about no strenuous activity and all that jazz."
"No strenuous activity huh?" Alex said with a laugh.
"Yeah, we will have to try to control ourselves. No more sex dates when Carlos works doubles for a while."
"I'm going to have to have a talk with Sully. Does he have any idea what he had done?" Alex said laughing.
"I'm sure he does. We'll just have to make up for lost time when I am back to normal."
"I like the sound of that," Alex said as she kissed Ty.
