Chapter 10 The school administration finds out about Alex's home life

Emma's P.O.V

When I got to the office I saw Alex. I had a feeling that this was not about Jay. I saw Mrs. Kwan come out of the office with Mrs. H. then she ushered us into the all too familiar office.

She held up my journal. That's when I figured out what this was about.

Alex and I had a talk once I left Jay's the other night. We talked about our family lives, though oddly enough she told me more than I told her. I found out that her father beats her. Isn't that sad?

"Emma, I didn't mean to drag you into this but you are the one who made the serious accusation." Mrs. H said. I nodded.

"Alex, I, and the rest of the faculty know about the alleged beatings. But before we call your mother, father, and the police I need to know if it's true." She nodded. By the look in her eyes I could tell she didn't want her father here but she knew she had no say.

Hours later things were worked out and Alex and her mom had a court date tomorrow. When were walking out of the office she did something I didn't think she would do. It came as a total shock.

"Thank you." She said.

"For what? Telling the whole school about you're problems?"

Laughing at my comment she said, "Well, not that." She paused. "But when I told you I figured you'd tell someone, or write it, so I killed two birds with one stone." I looked at her as if she was crazy. She laughed again. "I got out my feelings, and will finally get out

Of that hell whole I used to call a home." I nodded.

A/N: I know it's fast paced but I want this story to end, so I can begin the second story.

Alex's P.O.V

"Alexandra, come on we have to go," my mom called.

"Just five minuets." I called from the bathroom.

I guess I'd better explain. Mom won the court case. Dad's in jail. And we are moving to the states… to Wisconsin to be more exact.

I was in the bathroom because I thought I was pregnant. I can't believe I didn't notice before. I really hope I'm not, I can't take care of a baby, and mom's to fragil to even attempt it.

"The stick will turn blue if you are pregnant and pink if you are not." I read before picking up the stick.

"Blue," I said aloud. Then threw it away in the trash and went out to our SUV. I decided to tell mom on the way, so she wouldn't turn back.

A/N: No this is not the last of Alex… She will be in the next story, which I'm working on right now. Look for it, it is called Night's Children.
