She finds herself in the Mystic Grill rather quickly and sitting at a small table with Tyler. Tyler Lockwood is your typically jock and jerk but apart from that they do get on pretty good most of the times though they do have issues because of how different they are. He finds her situation with Matt something that is a little amusing because of the story of it but he does the seriousness, the realness, in it when Matt talks to him about it.
They talk for awhile, Alexis seemed to relax into the conversation as they avoided the whole baby topic until they both seem at ease with each other. It's when he's looking at her, they way he does, she just knows and she groans, shaking her head. "Why are you looking at me like that, Ty'?" She asks him, although she already knows, before pressing her lips together, locking eyes with him. He smirks, just a little bit but in a way that isn't meant to be taken to serious.
"Out of all the girls at school, never thought you'd be the one getting knocked up, Al'."
"Life's full of surprises." She confesses, with a tilt of her head not taking any offence to that because it's Tyler after all.
"Let alone by Donovan, talk about bad first times." He laughs, shaking his head and she's quick on the defense about what happened.
"It wasn't bad!" The words fall from her lips before she realizes that she just toke the bait. He looks like the cat that got the canary but before he can think of a reply a blonde cheerleader speaks up from the other side of her.
"How was it?" Caroline's voice suddenly from the seat beside her and Alexis quick to look over, a little baffled but not by the question.
"Where did you come from?" The pregnant girl asks with wide eyes because Caroline was not next to her or even in her line of sight a moment ago, Caroline just grins.
"So?" Caroline pries.
"So?"
"Hey guys." Elena slips into the seat beside Caroline on the same circular table and the topic shifts again. Alexis just listens as they talk about random things as she smiles softly before she starts talking. She's talking to Caroline about something and the conversation is cut short when she feels a hand on her shoulder squeezing gently, causing her to look up to who it is and she isn't too surprised to see that it's Matt. "Hey." He greets her. He smiles at her softly as he hands her a glass of water. She takes it, lips quirking up so sweetly.
"Hey, thanks." She speaks softly and warmly as she takes the offered glass from his hand.
"What you guys talking about?" He asks, looking over the group, mainly over his best friend, Tyler, and Alexis to see if they are getting along. It appears, thankfully, they're on good terms and not having a little spat like they can so he lets it be. Before someone can answer him the Jeremy comes over looking worried.
"Hey, has anyone seen Vicki?" He asks looking over the group and Tyler huffs before anyone else can answer.
"You're her stalker. You tell us." He huffs at Jeremy, hatred for the boy strong and the mood or good terms between Tyler and Alexis starts to sour with that.
"Tyler! " Alexis is quick to scold, throwing a harsh look at the raven haired jock before shifting her gaze to her little brother. "No, sorry, I haven't.."
"I can't find her." He sighs and Tyler again makes another comment.
"She probably found somebody else to party with. Sorry, pill pusher, I guess you've been replaced."
"What's with the pill pusher?" Elena frowns.
"Ask him." Tyler challenges.
"You wanna do this right now?" Jeremy huffs.
"Are you dealing?" The older twin questions, clearly upset at that and Alexis doesn't even want to know right now.
"Guys, Drop it!" She's getting sick of hearing this arguing and they've barely started but she is ignored.
"She's never gonna go for you." Tyler continues and Alexis pushes herself out of her chair, not wanting to hear it.
"She already did. Over and over and over again." Jeremy spits out, pride fullness as he throws it in Tyler's face and Alexis shakes her head.
"Yeah, right." He can't believe it, just sounds ridiculous to him or maybe he doesn't want to believe it.
"You slept with Vicki Donovan? I mean, Vicki Donovan slept with you?" Caroline ridicules him, thinking its just a made up lie for attention.
"There's no way."
"And I didn't even have to force her into it." Those words hide something but it's clear what he means, Alexis feels fury at those words knowing the meaning that Tyler did or at least tried to do something like that. Matt seems to feel the seem way, almost seething as he looks at Tyler.
"What the hell is he talking about, Ty?" The blond male demands, Tyler looks to Matt briefly, not meeting his eyes.
"Nothing, man, just ignore him, he's a punk." Tyler dismisses the claim firmly even as Alexis's eye burn into him and Matt shakes his head, dropping it.
"You know what, how about all of you shut up and help me find my sister?" Matt silences everyone, having had enough and just wanting to find his sister and make sure she is safe.
"Sounds like a plan." Alexis agrees and it's quite for only a pause as he thinks about his sister. She was just attacked the other day, he thinks, now he can't find her. He's worrying and Alexis is the one that can see that clearly. "Hey, we'll find and she'll be fine." She promises him, softly, and he didn't realize it, he thought she only needed him while he wanted her but now he realizing he needs her as well. They way she's looking at him, she's anchoring, promising him that they'll find her and he believes it.
"We'll check the back." Bonnie speaks up, looking between Matt and Alexis, motioning that Alexis would join her.
"I'll check the square." Matt nods, still looking at Alexis, only tearing his eyes away from her as her brother speaks up.
"I'll come with you." Jeremy agrees going to move but Elena is not having it after what she's found out about there brother
"Oh, no, no, no. You are coming with me." Elena huffs out, before dragging her brother off, every takes that as they cue to start searching. Matt's quick out the door and Bonnie walks with Alexis to the back of the Mystic Grill.
Bonnie looks to the pregnant girl. "So..." She starts and Alexis turns her head to her friend, giving her a look to prompt her to continue. "Are you okay?" She question, concern obvious in her voice as they look around for Vicki.
"Yeah, tonight was pretty good apart from like Vicki going missing."
"Not asking how tonight was."
"I know, Bon, I'm okay." She breathes out because she is okay, not great and not bad, she's worried but not distraught.
Before she knows it she's sitting looking over Vicki, who is basically as high as a kite and is finishing with fixing her bandage as Matt stands a few feet away with Stefan who found her. "She said you found her wandering around." He tells Stefan as he watches as Vicki makes a comment to Alexis that has the mom to be laughing a little while brushing off the comment as nothing to be taken serious.
"Yeah." Stefan nods
"So, um, thanks... for everything." Matt's speaks awkward as he thanks the guy but his words are true and Stefan, also being a guy, seems to understand it.
"No problem." Stefan tells him before heading off and Alexis pushes herself up, coming over when he moves to head to her.
"You should get home." He suggests and she tilts her head.
"Should I?" She really asking if he wants her to stay and he knows she would if that's he wanted but she needs to go home and get some sleep.
"Yeah, you get some sleep." He nods slowly.
"So should you. You need it." She tells him, crossing her arms over her chest.
"I'm taking Vicki home soon, I will." He assures her. They goodbye to each other and she heads off. Elena was still in the parking lot waiting for her, since she had message her sister a few minutes ago giving her five minutes before she left, and just calming down in the car before driving. Alexis gets in the car and her sister drives them both home.
The sisters get home, heading upstairs and toward they're room when they hear movement in Jeremy's room. They sister didn't think Jeremy would be home this early tonight after what happened, or even come home at all. Alexis motions to Elena she has this handled, letting the older go to their room as the younger handles this.
"Jer?" Alexis calls out softly as she moves to his open doorway only to see her auburn haired aunt
"No, it's me, the hypocrite patrol." Jenna calls out as she digs through one of the draws in Jeremy's desk.
"What are you doing?" She questions as she moves into the room, sitting back, lounged on her brother's messy bed. Jenna pauses in her searching, looking up to her for just a moment. Jenna isn't sure which one of the twins she's talking to but she doesn't really care in the moment.
"I've become my worst nightmare. The authority figure who has to violate a fifteen-year-old's privacy." She huffs out, and Alexis knows that Jenna was one of the wild ones growing up but she wasn't that bad with the stuff she did. She bends back down grabbing a boot. "Jackpot. I see the hiding places haven't gotten any more creative" Jenna announces as she pulls a bong out of the boot, before tossing the bong over onto the bed by her and throwing the boot on the ground before continuing her search in Jeremy's dresser draws.
"What started this?" Alexis questions, not daring enough yet to bring up the fact her brother may be a dealer. Jenna lets out a huff as she rummages and Alexis picks up the glass green bong, flipping it in her hands thinking about how in some world if she didn't hook up with Matt that night she could have easily fallen into the same hole as her brother. She's known for a while about his habits, even before their parents... but she didn't speak up and doesn't.
"Your ass-hat of a history teacher shamed me good yesterday. "
"You got 'tannered'. Been there." The teen quips with a tilt of her head as she places the bong back on the bed and Jenna pulls out a pipe from Jeremy's sock draw.
"Discover the impossible, Ms. Sommers." Jenna recites in her best in an imitation before tossing the pipe onto the bed. "Got it. Thanks. Like I didn't know I was screwing up." Jenna huffs, sounding so angry with herself and upset. Alexis looks up to her aunt with soft eyes.
"You're not screwing up, Aunt Jenna." Alexis tells her gently because her aunt is doing her best and that all she can do.
"Yes, I am. You know why? Because I'm not her. She made everything look so easy. You know, high school, marriage, having you." It's been so hard for her, dealing with all of this and the look in her nieces eyes tell her exactly which of the twins it is. Those words are really hitting Alexis hard.
"It's not meant to be easy, you do your best and hope it's enough." Alexis argues, her voice hitching as her hands goes to her small bump because seeing her aunt struggle to take care of them while they are teens, she wonders how hard it will be taking care of a baby. Her eyes are watering and she doesn't understand completely why but she also understand completely.
"I can't do it. I'm gonna say or do the wrong thing, and he's gonna get worse, and it's gonna be my fault. It's impossible." Jenna's been working hard struggling, she needs to vent and Alexis needs to hear this, needs to know how hard this is. Jenna plops down to sit on the couch across from the bed. Alexis shakes her head moving to the edge of her bed, closer to her aunt.
"This is just the fear talking. You're a little scared, that's all. We all are. " She breathes out, trying to reassure her aunt as reality is hitting her leaving her breathless. She presses her lips together as she looks at her aunt for a moment before she speaks up. "I'm scared, beyond scared I'm terrified." She admits, her aunt looks up to meet her eyes as tears start to spill. Alexis let out a shaky breath. "I'm just going in to my second trimester and it's terrifying. Every breath I take is for two, every thing I do is for to and I'm worrying non-stop. I'm worried that somethings going to be wrong, wondering if they'll be healthy, wondering if I can give them the life they deserve, fearing that something might happen in the pregnancy and I lose them. That I can't be enough and I can't do this." Alexis confesses, voicing hitching, tears are falling from her eyes because this is something to close to her and it's the truth.
"Ale-" Jenna starts but Alexis isn't having it.
"We work hard, we do our best, we look for solutions, we do everything we can and hope it's enough. We don't give up because we can't" With that a tear stained face she pushes herself up and leaves the room, heading into her own. Tears still falling strong as Elena stops her in their room.
"Are you okay?" She asks as she just pulls her younger and pregnant twin into a hug. Alexis relaxes into the hug before pulling back after a while.
"I'm scared but I won't give up, I won't let fear get in the way." She tells her sister, tears no longer falling and determine smile on her lips. Those words seem to have an effect on Elena.
"I have to go do something, will you be okay?" Elena speaks apologetically, wanting to know if her sister is okay before she goes and set things right with Stefan.
"Yeah, I'll be fine." Alexis promises her sister and Elena smiles before heading off. Alexis writes in her journal before she goes to sleep, mostly for her child to read one day, and she writes about everything since she last wrote which was yesterday. She tries to write in it every day or at least when something notable happens. She write about her real first major mood swing today, how she helpful Stefan was, how amazing Matt's been, she writes about how perfect standing under the comet with Matt was and she writes about how determined she is as well as how much she already loves her child.
