Chapter 15: Everytime John arrived home an hour later. His head was pounding and his shirt was ripped. They'd even fought as they stood outside the bathroom. When Randy eventually got bored of waiting and was about to break down the door, Torrie told them she had left and wasn't sure where she'd gone. What did it matter now? John couldn't fight forever. It seemed Randy could and maybe that was why he should be with Alex. He knew that if Randy found her, she'd be halfway to Canada by tomorrow morning. He'd probably never see her again.
"I wondered when you'd be home."
Talk about irony. Alex was right there, sitting on the doorstep.
"Where have you been?"
"Thinking." She replied. "About everything that happened tonight."
"Sorry about that."
"You told me the truth, all of it and that was pretty brave. I just don't get why you didn't tell me sooner."
The only explination that John could come up with was fear. He'd been terrified of telling her incase she laughed in his face, or hated him all over again. He sat next to her.
"I understood why you wouldn't come back and why you married Randy and I understand if you go to Canada with him. But I don't want you to. I'll always love you Alex. If you fall apart I'll be there putting you back together."
"You already did." She said with a small laugh. "I love you too and I guess I always have."
"Leave him." John said suddenly.
"What?"
"It's the one thing I neer, ever asked you to do. "
"John, you're asking me to leave......" She stopped.
"I need you Alex. It doesn't matter what's happened, all you need is love. Right? That's what you said yourself."
She seemed to think it over for a very long time.Replaying every single thing that had happened ever since she had woken up as a stranger in a hospital.
"You said Randy needs me and he does."
"He'll survive without you.
"So will you."
John shook his head. He wasn't prepared to lose her again.
"I don't think I will. Not after coming so close again."
Alex honestly believed him. She just knew that John really wouldn't be able to go on without her.
"Don't try and guilt me into staying."
"Sorry."
"Maybe walking away wasn't such a great idea in the first place. If I stay......."
"If you stay here with me I'll marry you." John jumped in. "You'll never have to live another day without knowing how much I love you and you won't ever believe you've made a mistake."
She nodded and then shook her head before covering her face with her hands.
"I'm not the same person. It's not right."
John tugged her hands away and ran his fingers over the scar by her lips.
"It doesn't matter. I love who you where then and I love who you are now."
Alex kissed him. To her, it was her first kiss. That's what it was like. She was full of nerves when she did it, but they quickly subsided. John was desperatly trying to fight the feeling that this was a goodbye kiss. She pulled back, the tears in her eyes didn't help.
"Yes."
"Yes? Yes what?"
"Yes I'll stay. I'll marry you, I'll be your wife and everyday, everytime you tell me that you love me, I'll say it right back."
"You don't have to."
His heart felt like it was going to explode and he couldn't quiet believe what he was hearing.
"I do. The first and only thing I've wanted since this all started is you."
John wanted to laugh and scream. A bubbling excitment was forming in his stomach. He wanted to grab hold of Alex and never let her go again.
"And now I've got you." She said.
"You've always had me. The problem was I didn't have you."
But now he did.
