Chapter 17- Let's Get Married

AN: Okay yeah i know Mr. Simpson never had a wife before Emma's mom but this is a FANFICTION. note the word fiction.

Jimmy-

I talked to Jay yesterday and we were talking about random things, somehow the subject of marriage came up. Knowing that I am planning on asking Alex I asked him what he thought about it. I dunno what brought me to ask Jay of all people but I guess eveyone has an opinion.

"What age do you think people should get married at? I mean when is too soon," I asked him.

"Hmmm it depends," He answered. "Why."

"No reason."

"Right. JimmyI found the ring."

"You WHAT? It was in my pocket how'd you find it?"

"I didn't uhh Alex did. She went to hug you and felt it. She was really surprised."

"So she knows. I've been walking around here trying to find a way to ask her and she already knows. Why didn't she say anything?"

"She wanted you to ask her."

She wanted me to ask her. It made sense I guess. Alex is wonderful and we'll be graduating this year there is no reason why we couldn't get married right? If she wanted me to ask her that means she is going to say yes doesn't it? I need to talk to her instead of talking to myself or Jay. I should go to her house.

Alex-

It was kind of weird when Jimmy showed up at my house. He had never been there before so I wasn't even sure how he knew where it was. He didn't need to be here now. My mom and step-dad were fighting... again.

"Uhh Jimmy Hi. Wh-What are you doing here," I asked shutting the door behind me. Hoping my parents didn't see him outside.

"Alex I needed to talk to you."

"Okay, but can it wait or can we do it somewhere, uhh anywherethat isn't here." He didn't need to know about my home life.

"What's wrong with you house?"

"It's a bad time. My mom she's not in a good mood right now."

"Uh Alex it's okay most moms like me. Lets just go in." He reached for the door and it opened. On the other side of my door stood my step-dad.

"Alex who is this," he asked getting mad, it was never good when he got mad.

"Uhh Mike this is Jimmy he's a friend from school. We were supposed to study tonight but I forgot to call him and tell him I had something else to do. He uhh was just leaving." I looked at Jimmy with a pleading look hoping that he'd get the picture. He didn't.

"A friend from school. Alex you can give me more credit than that," Jimmy said. Jimmy looked pissed that I called him a friend from school.

"Jimmy stop."

"Credit for what," asked Mike.

"I'm her boyfriend." No Jimmy wrong answer, wrong wrong answer.

"So your the reason she didn't come home last night."

"No Mike it's not his fault I went to see him. He he-"

"You little slut," he said slapping me. I fell to Jimmy's feet. My cheek felt like it was burning. This wasn't good. This wasn't good at all.

"What the hell is wrong with you," Jimmy asked kneeling to my side. "I was in the hospital. I got in a car accident and she came to see me."

"What about the day before that?"

"Uhh she-"

"Don't say anymore. Alex couldn't keep her legs closed. Heh, she's just like her mother. She's a fuckinggood for nothingslut," He said kicking me in the side. I winced in pain.

"STOP HITTING HER," Jimmy yelled.

"What are you going to do to stop me."

"She's my girlfriend and I love her I'll do anything to keep her safe."

"Why don't you stay away from her. Stay away before she gets hurt anymore. Get up and get in this house Alex."

I can't believe I was crying. "Jimmy I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry. I didn't mean for any of this to happen," I said getting up and walking into the house.

Jimmy-

I can't believe this.

"Not as sorry as your going to be," I heard him say to her before slamming the door in my face. I looked down onto the stairs next to mewhere I had been kneeling and noticed a small pool of blood. Alex's blood.
