This chapter is pretty short, but I gotta keep up the angst. Disclaimer is on the 2nd chapter. Thanks to the people who are reviewing. And if you haven't reviewed please start now. Thanx
After Ryan left, Marissa did the first thing that she could think of. She got into her car and drove in the direction of Alex's old apartment with hopes that she might still live there, or at least someone would know where she had gone to. She didn't care that it was 12am, she didn't have to call; she just had to tell Alex how she felt in person- there was no way that this could wait. However, when she arrived at her destination the jeep was no where to be found. So, still pressing her luck, Marissa got out of her car and made her way to the door, only to be very surprised by what she found on the other side. A big, burly man weighing 250lbs, pushing 6'3, with a tattoo on his right arm saying I (heart) Mom opened the door and just starred down at Marissa. Marissa just stood there in disbelief. She finally composed herself and started to talk to the man.
"Do you live here?" she asked, hoping that the evident answer was incorrect. Maybe he was a relative, or she's out of town and he's just taking care of her place…god, I can be soo naïve, Marissa thought to herself.
"Yeah, I live here. Free place opened up so I snatched it far and square-despite what anyone told ya!" the man began to raise his voice due to the high volume of wrestling emitting from his T.V.
"Ok. Do you happen to know the girl who lived here before?"
"Yeah, pretty little thing, I remember she left in tears ages ago. I was signing the papers when she was gathering her things. I remember that she was on her cell phone and I heard her say that she needed to get away from the memories, and then she was gone."
"Oh," the pain was evident in Marissa's voice, "Thanks for your help," was all she could get out of her mouth. She turned around and walked straight to her car, only thinking about what it must have been for Alex. She put her through this. It was all Marissa's fault for Alex moving away and she didn't do a thing to stop it. When Marissa reached her car she started to break down. She couldn't stop sobbing, her entire body was shaking. She was broken and there was no one to fix her. She cried for something she had, but never did at the same time. She cried for the girl she loves. For the girl she lost.
