Secrets
Craig went into physical therapy next and Alexis was able to eat lunch and try to sleep some, but she kept having visions of the past she shared with Zack.
"I have to tell him when he comes back and were alone."
Just as she said this Craig came back with a smile on his face.
"Hey guess what?"
"What?"
"There letting me see you home for a few hours, but I'll have to be in a wheelchair. The deal is that I come back at 6p.m. and since your leaving at three that gives us almost three hours together."
"Really? That's great; before we celebrate I need to tell you something that I neglected to tell you before. I was scared you would look at my differently for he rest of the year and our friendship would never last through it."
"Cut the cryptic stuff and just tell me Alex."
"It was what the M in my name stand for. My real parents last name was Marten, and Alexis Marie Marten is my full name, but now McCain is my name."
"Marten wait I read about something in a London paper."
"Yep that was it my family's fortune was stolen. It turns out that my grandfather's supposed fashion business was really a way to smuggle foreign substance and drugs across to other countries. However my parents and I never knew about it. So since we were innocent of the charges only my grandfather went to jail and we got all his money... at least what wasn't taken as evidence."
"Whoa no wonder you didn't tell anyone."
"It wasn't all bad I'm using my money to keep the business and make it into some place people will be proud to shop. In fact I'm going to school for fashion design and dance I plan to double major."
"Yeah good luck.""You can come to college with me I've already been accepted to Princeton. Apply so we can go together."
"Alex I'm not sure if me grades are good enough to get me in."
"Just try I'll help you."
A/N Hey all sorry I'm slacking off on my usual flavor, but lets just say I haven't been myself lately it will be better next chapter promise.
