Chapter Ten: ......And Walk Away
At first, John wasn't sure he was really seeing Alex, but she gave a loud scream of frustration and pushed past him.
"I am not going back there! Not to be treated like.....like......argh!"
She dropped onto the couch and folded her arms, crossed her legs and gave another scream deep in her throat.
"What's happened?" John asked, noticing that some of the make-up on her scars had been rubbed away.
"Him. Him and his pefect wife and their perfect wedding."
"Alex, that was your wedding."
"No, no, no!" She shouted sitting foreward and throwing her arms up. "I don't remember being his wife therefore I'm not. I'm not Alex Orton. I wish everyone would stop pushing this life on me!"
"They're just anxious."
"I'm not going to get my memory back because they say so."
She looked furious, her cheeks where all flushed and the muscles in her jaw had tightened. She was glaring at the wall, looking like she would like nothing more for it to burst into flames.
"I am not the same person."
"Yes you are." John reassured her. "If you have....a book and you take out a few pages, it's still a book, just different."
Alex laughed. "Are you saying I've lost the plot?"
"I'm saying......" John paused for a second. "Randy loves you for who you are, not what you remember."
"But I don't love him and i can't stay with him. it's not fair."
"What about Randy? It's helping him having you there."
"I don't care!" She shouted again. "I don't want to be with him! It's like and instant life. Just add water or something. I want to decide things on my own, like who to marry."
John took hold of her hand and noticed how cold it was. "Alex, you decided to marry Randy."
She lowered her head and put her free hand over his, giving it a slightly squeeze.
"Can I tell you something?"
"Yeah, sure."
"I can't really explain it, but something tells me that, Randy and I aren't ment to be together."
"That's probably......"
"It's a gut instinct." Alex interupted. "Something deep down doesn't feel right. I've got the feeling I should be with someone else."
She was looking right at him and his head was screaming at him. Tell her! Tell her everything! You have to tell her now! She lost her memory and she still wants to be with you! Take the chance now! Tell her about the wedding night. Don't waste this oppotunity!
"Alex, you're angry. You love Randy. Not someone else. You can stay here tonight but tomorrow you have to go home."
WHAT?!
"I don't want to go back there." She said, her angry look now gone. "I don't want to go back and pretend to be something I'm not."
"You are his wife Alex."
"But I'm not in love with him."
No you're not! What are you doing? John's head screamed at him.
Alex threw her arms around him and he gave in.
"You can stay, but you have to tell Randy."
Alex was still angry when she called Randy and she tried to keep the conversation short.
"Alex! Where are you? I've called everyone!"
"If you'd called everyone you would of found me wouldn't you?"
"Alex, please come home. I'm sorry."
"I'm staying with John for awhile, it would be best for both of us."
"Why John?" Randy's tone instantly became snappy and suspicious. Alex rolled her eyes.
"Because he's the only person who doesn't treat me like a china doll. I'll be back soon for some of my stuff."
Alex hung up and took a deep breath. Did this count as her just leaving her husband? She took a long look around the bedroom where John told her she could use the phone. She liked it. It didn't have a cold and sterile look about it. She could get use to staying here.
