By a row of lockers in closet hallway is where she finds him. He seems, distracted as she starts to head over to him with a smile on her face at seeing him again and being reminded of his antics earlier this morning. The tall blond male is holding his phone in one of his hands and looking down at in like he wasn't too sure how to feel about what had just happened. He feels relief pouring over him at the proof that his sister is still breathing, feels joy for hearing her voice again but he also feels worried for her. He's always worried about Vicki but this time it's different. People died..she must of saw something that night because next she got high, freaked out and ran. He just wants her back and safe.
"Matt?" Alexis's soft voice questions, reaching out and placing a hand gently on his lower arm that is not holding the phone. He looks at the sudden voice and touch, his blue eyes flicking up to look at her. He blinks a few times, focusing and briefly noticing he didn't even notice her come over. Alexis is there though in front of him and touching him, it anchors him.
She's smiling a little but she looks concerned, he thinks she can tell that something's going on. It's clear as day. Her brow is furrowed and her eyes dart down to the phone before back to is face when he doesn't speak. "Did something happen?" His girlfriend questions him, worry so obvious in her voice and no smile on her face any longer.
He pauses, tilting his head, looking at her for a moment before. "Yeah." He tells her in a distant tone. "Yeah, Vic just called." He speaks like he's still processing it, like he can't believe it and like he doesn't know how to feel as he feels like he's starting to break. Instantly, hearing those words from Matt Alexis feels like she can breath again. She even starts to smile, feeling so thankful but then she looks at his face...he wouldn't be looking almost fearful, so distant if it was something good that come of that call.
"Matt, what did she say? Is she okay?" She question, her voice trying to stay calm and not panicked while laced in worry. Alexis is looking up at him with wide eyes, her grip on his arm squeezing gently.
"She said..She said she was- but she needed time... and.." He speaks slowly, trying to make sense at it, distant look in his eyes as he looks away from her. At first she feels the worry ease up when he admits that Vicki said she was okay but Matt seems so far from okay and she wonders what he isn't saying.
"Matt?" Alexis asks softly, more like she's calling out for him quietly to come back to her but he's to encased in the millions of panicked thought rushes throughout his mind. He closes his eyes shaking his head before making eye contact once again with his girlfriend.
"She's my sister...I'm supposed to protect her." Matt tells her, pleading look on his face and those words resonate with her soul. If this was Jeremy..She understands. Her faces is soft, almost an upset expression on her face as she looks at Matt. A loss for words. He's shaking his head, breathing more louder and faster. "Lex, she wouldn't tell me where. Lexy, I don't know where she is." He's worried. He knows his sister can get better, she was getting better. She was doing so well and he just wants his sister back.
"Matt, It's okay. She'll be okay. She's okay." Alexis tries telling him, grip tightening on him but he isn't hearing her at all.
"How do I know? I'm her brother, I'm supposed to protect her. I try, but I can't. I can't protect her when I don't even know- " He panicking, actually panicking now and she can't seem to even calm him down. If she was in his position she's not sure anything would be able to calm her either.
"Then believe her- Matt. She's alive-" Alexis tries to put a hand on his shoulder and neck but he pulls away from her as if burnt. Every breath getting harder then the last. She recoils, feeling hurt but then someone else voice breaks through and she looks up to see Tyler.
"Hey, hey what's going on? What happened? He asks, quickly, looking between them knowing somethings up.
"Uh, Vicki called." She tells him, feeling oddly useless as Tyler turns to his friend putting a hand on the guys chest to keep him up right.
"You okay, Man?" Tyler asks him, in a panicked tone but like he knows exactly what to do Matt doesn't respond so Tyler grabs the side of his friends neck/shoulder and keeps his hand on his chest to balance him. Matt reaches, grabbing onto his friends shoulder for support, his head turned down away from Tyler as he is trying to catch his breath.
"Tyler.." Alexis starts but Tyler isn't having it at the moment. He needs Matt to be okay.
"I got this from here!" He tells her louder, needing to be alone with Matt to calm him down. Tyler knows him better than anyone, he's who he needs right now. She's reels back, surprised at his tone but she just nods, swallowing. Her heart hurts as she turns to walk away. "Come on, lets sit you down." She hears Tyler tell Matt as she walks away from him.
There's a pit in her stomach, an unease from walking away from Matt, even though he is in Tyler's good hands and it probably is what is best she can't help but feel a little bit of guilt she couldn't be the one that helps him. Even with the way she feels part of her understands. Tyler knows Matt better than she does, it's a fact- He's his best friend, just as Caroline is hers and as Tyler said 'sometimes you just need you best friend'. In this case, Matt just needed his. Alexis can admit Caroline knows her so much better and that she can understand what Tyler meant because sometime she needs Caroline, not Matt. It's not really about what you want, it's what you need.
Her thoughts now go to her little brother and pauses outside of the hall before she reaches into her pocket and pulls out her phone. He needs to know. She has to tell him they've heard from Vicki and hopefully that'll comfort him. She rings him, and presses the phone to her ear. He picks up after a moment. "Ally?" His voice comes through the speaker, full of question and she lets out a breath.
"Jer." She says his name, his nickname actually and he knows. He knows they have an update about whats happening, he can hear it in her voice. She sounds odd, like she's lost almost.
"What happened?" Jeremy demands, voice firm but quite as he feels worry and fear creeping in. Alexis shakes her had slightly, holding the phone tighter in her hand.
"Jer, Vicki Called Matt." The older sister tells her younger brother. He's response is instant, not process that tone she has at all.
"Is she okay? What did she say? Where is she?" He starts asking all these questions that Alexis has no real answer to.
"She said she just needed some time...she didn't tell him where just that she's okay, Jeremy." She tells him carefully because she knows this isn't the answer he really wants from her. She hears her brother sigh and he goes silent for a moment. Thinking for a moment.
"Okay, good. That's good she's okay.. I just...I.." Jeremy stumbles out, not quite sure how to word it or how to say it but he doesn't need too. Alexis presses her lips together nodding.
"I know. Jeremy, I know." She tells him, not making him have to say it and for that he's thankful.
"When are you going home?" He suddenly asks, sounding allot more tired and worn out. She pauses, furrowing her brow but she speaks up cause she feels like this is his way of asking her to come home.
"Do you want me to come home early? I can come home around 12?" Alexis asks him, wanting to be there for her brother but also needing to stay here for a portion of the day.
"You don't have to." He says like it's no big deal to her but she can see right through it. It's clear he wants her too.
"I'll see you back home at 12." She tells him. They say goodbye only a moment later, it's clear him knowing she'll be home eases him. She lets out a sigh, as she walks back into the hall. Her eyes naturally search for Caroline only to find the blonde no longer at the table from before but sitting at another and she isn't alone. Bonnie, Bonnie is there and they're talking, the paint and paper in front of the two forgotten. Seeing not one but both of her closes friends has Alexis smiling a little as she walks over to them.
"Bonnie!" She calls out, happy at seeing her friend for the first time in over a week. The dark haired girl pauses mid sentence, turning around in her seat and pushing herself up as she sees who it is. Bonnie's eyes widen and she beams, her smile is so bright unlike any other girl Alexis knows.
"Alexis!" Bonnie calls back, laughter in her voice and girls embrace, hugging each other tightly. Both Laughing into it before finally pulling a way after a few moments.
"How are you? How was grams?" Alexis questions, eager to know how her friend has been. The shorter girl lets out a laugh, with this huge open mouthed smile on her face while shaking her head. "I have so much to tell you all." She admits in a breathless tone, like she can't quite believe it. Her hands still clasped loosely on the other girls wrists. Alexis looks at her, smile on her own face as she notice the look on her friends. Bonnie has this look on her face like everything's changed and she doesn't know where to began to explain it all but how happy she seems tells them its a good change. Something good happened.
"Was it that fun?" Alexis questions, quirking a brow.
"It was Incredible." Bonnie agrees. "What about you, the baby?" Bonnie asks excitedly. It's something she and Caroline do deliberately. Always asking about her then the baby. Caroline was he one to bring it up after a conversation she had with her own mother and it just made sense to Bonnie. It almost surprised her when Caroline brought it up as the girl isn't usually so careful and aware but Bonnie does know how that girl gets when it comes to Alexis. Alexis lights up more, if that's even possible.
"Good...and Actually I have to tell you girls about this mor-" She wants to tell them. Wants to tell them about her perfect it was this morning with Matt was. Also, it's a way to also assure her friends things are going well between them. Not that she needs to but the girls always tell each other everything..even if sometimes it takes time and they're scared, in the end they always do. They all grew up together, they know each other as well as they know themselves and they don't keep things from each other because how else are they meant to help each other.
But the pregnant girl pauses midway as she notices a splatter off purple on the other girls shirt. A quirky look comes across her face, her previous train of thought forgotten as she meets Bonnie's eyes again."You have paint on your shirt." Alexis tells her, bemusement in her voice as she arches a brow. Bonnie quickly looks down and scoff like it's a funny thing, shaking her head. The girl rolls her eyes, before looking over with accusatory and amused eyes at Caroline.
"She flicked it at me!" Bonnie scolds the blonde without any real heat causing Alexis look over to her friend. Caroline shrugs and winks at them with a smirk.
"Sorry...but, she made fun of the costume I so kindly brought her." Caroline tells them, sounded amusing patronizing but not at all sorry causing Alexis to laugh and shake her head before focusing back on Bonnie.
"Come on, you know I could probably get it out before it stai-" The pregnant girl starts to offering, as she could easily get the stain out before it sets in. Bonnie shakes her head and smiles.
"Alexis!" She laughs and Alexis tilts her head but still continues.
"Sorry, just it's a nice shirt-"
"I can get it out later. I know it'll be harder but it's fine." Bonnie assures her friends that the shirt will be okay yet she seems unsure.
"But- Alexis insists but is cut off by a laughing blonde.
"That's such a mom thing. Come on, not even my mum does that." Caroline laughs, finding her friends actions endearing because she's always been like this but the pregnancy is bringing out this maternal side out more of her already very maternal friend.
"Mine did." Alexis admit, absent minded with a sad smile coming over her face. Both girls look to her carefully, going silent at the mention of Alexis deceased mother as they haven't heard her talk about her parents too much without ending in tears. She doesn't cry, just smile because he can remember it now, growing up her mother always fussing over her, Elena and Jer. She smiles as the memories of being covered in mud, paint or soaked in water and how her mother would laugh and let them have fun but would always be there to clean them up quickly so nothing stained and they did not get sick. Growing up it seemed Alexis was the only one picking up on her mothers actions, mimicking them. Alexis never noticed it, really growing up and even lately the only one to notice such things was Jeremy- he never knows how to feel about it- and sometimes even Jenna. Her mother a superhero to her, the perfect tole model to her. Alexis always admired how fierce and protective and caring Miranda was over them. There was no doubt she loved them more than anything else in this word. She hopes she can be a good mother, like her own and it will come as effortlessly to her like it seemed to happen with her mother.
Caroline's lips quirk up warmly, before shaking her head and moving the topic on. "So.." The blonde speaks up, gathering attention back to herself when the girls turn to look at her. Caroline looks at Alexis, warm but in question, looking confused. "Where's Matt?" She questions like its the most obvious question ever and without giving the mother to be time to respond she continues. The smiles fades from Alexis's face but she doesn't look upset.
"I thought you were gong to bring him back. I need to give you two costumes for tonight, and we those tables need to be moved." Caroline almost starts to ramble on.
"Tyler's calming him down." The brunette tells her in a low tone, unsure almost as she moves to take a seat. The others two girls lock eyes sharply before they move quickly into action thinking anything could have happened. Thinking something bad may have happened between them.
"What, why?" Caroline is quick to question, leaning forward onto the table to get closer as Bonnie quickly moves to sit down next to her pregnant friend.
"What happened? Is everything okay?" Bonnie asks, feeling like she missed allot being checked out this past week
"I'm not sure but Vicki called." She announces quietly, worry in her voice although part of her is relieved at this.
"That's a good thing right? Did she say she was okay? Or where she was"
"Yeah- but..She wouldn't tell Matt where she is." Alexis tells Bonnie, who sigh about to say something while Caroline just scoffs, shaking her head to being able to help herself.
"Well she's probably-" Caroline starts in that tone Alexis knows very well. One that has her on the edge of her seat bracing herself for what comes because she knows whatever her friend will say will full off judgment and not a single kindness. Caroline's tilting her head, an annoyed expression on her face but her words cut off as she seems to catch herself. She snaps her mouth shut, eyes going wide before taking a breath in and collecting herself.
Caroline looks to them and she an see they're waiting for her to say it but she doesn't say it. She doesn't say what she would have said weeks ago about this because even with all Caroline's judgments (most understandable but she just has this edge to her) and opinions she does hold some shred of respect for Vicki. She could see how hard Vicki was working to stay clean but the girl relapsed...because her friends were murdered..not even Caroline could fault her for that even if she does have a few remarks about it how she could have dealt with it different but still Caroline can't fault her.
Vicki not just some junkie in her mind anymore, she's brave (Caroline's actually liked her after the pep rally) and capable of change. It seems she's not the only one capable of change, even a small change as Caroline presses her lips into a sad smile and quietly speaks up. "I do hope she's okay." The blonde admits in a clear tone, no judgement on sincerity. Both Bonnie and Alexis are looking at her softly, she can tell their surprised and before they speak up Caroline feels the need to continue. " And I actually mean that." She tells, a look on her face that's a little defensive but Alexis smiles a little at her.
"I know." The pregnant girl tells her, warm look on her face even with the worry. She oddly feels proud of her friend in this moment.
"We all do." Bonnie agrees, nodding with a tight lipped smile. Caroline smiles for a split second before shaking her head.
"Anyway, not knowing where she is..that must be driving Matt insane."
"It really is. This past week has been so hard for him." She wishes she could help him more but shes not quite sure how to other than to be there for him. She hopes that's enough and that Tyler can help him where she cannot.
"Hopefully Vic''s call will help but talking about not knowing where people where's Elena? I haven't seen or talked to her in ages."
"Oh, and Do we know what she's wearing?" Caroline questions.
"I'm actually not too sure." Alexis admits, furrowing her brow not knowing at all where hers sister is.
"Probably with Stefan and his white horse." The blonde scoffs before grabbing something up from the table and that's when the pregnant girl makes a noise. It's a squeak like sound, like she's holding something back and that has the girls eyes dragging to her. Caroline narrows her eyes. "Spill." Alexis's doe eyes flick between her and Bonnie for a moment before she caves.
"Okay but this goes into the vault." She tells them firmly, giving them both a look.
"I swear." Both girls say in quick unison and Alexis takes in a a deep breath of air before starting to tell them. When she's done, Bonnie has a hand on Alexis arm whose slumped back in her chair. Bonnie can see how at loss of what to do Alexis is while Caroline has an absolutely furious look on her face once she's done explaining what happened between her sister and Stefan then between herself and Stefan. The no longer friendship.
"Seriously, who the hell does he think is?" Caroline hisses. They were basically best friends, Alexis confided in him, welcomed him and now because of Elena he just ditches her. Did she mean that little to him? How dare he.
"Caroline." Alexis pleads softly, not wanting her friend to do something rash. Caroline looks at her, fuming because she understands. Understands every little insecurity Alexis has, the ones she''s even starting to overcome and how what he did must cutting her friend so deep, sending her back in her progress. That's why she's so angry. She wants to scream at Stefan, tell him the truth about just how horrible that is. Their entire lives Elena and Alexis have looked exactly the same, paying for each others mistakes and choices. Only now that Alexis is pregnant it's not happening as much, but considering everything it still does. Alexis hardly stands up for herself in this sort of case because it's been something she's had to go through her entire life but Caroline doesn't let people get away with hurting her friends ever, especially when she's helping them.
"Hey, the boys are here." Bonnie speaks up, looking away from the girls. Caroline spins around and almost groans 'at the perfect timing' and Alexis pushes herself up, eyes going straight to Matt. Her eyes search over him and he looks more put together, as he walks over with Tyler.
"Hey." She greats him, a warm, cautiously smile on her face as he comes up to her. He seems fine now as he wraps an arm around her.
"Hey." He tells her, before pressing a kiss to her check that has her beaming.
"You okay?" She questions, and he nods, lips pressed together. After talking with Tyler he does feel much better. In that moment he needed Tyler's help. She can't help herself she looks to Tyler and the raven haired boy smiles at her. Letting he know he really is okay and she smiles back before he turns to the other girls. Alexis moves closer, to Matt, pressing their sides together while his arm is around her waist.
"Hello, Bonnie, Caroline." Tyler greats the other girls, eyes going to both of them.
"Hello Tyler." Bonnie greats him back casually while Caroline just rolls her eyes, not even acknowledging the greeting from the football player.
"Why are you up so tight today?"He snarks, looking at the blonde girl with his arms over his chest and a teasing tone. She just looks at him, narrowing her blue eyes and scoffing at him.
"Shut up Lockwood, we need those tables moved. If you're not here to help leave." She tells him, not having it as she is rather annoyed and furious at the moment. Tyler just laughs at the blonde girl, looking at her like she's oblivious but liking her feisty nature.
"That's why we're here." He tells her and she just scoffs, causing Matt to speak up.
"Yeah, Alexis mentioned this morning you might need help today." Matt tells them and Caroline looks at him, pursing his lips before nodding.
"Okay well... " Caroline starts before turning, motioning with a hand. "All those table need to be moved over there and those one there but don't put any there." She tells the boys, all order an firmness in her voice as she motions around.
"We can do that." Matt agrees to it, nodding his head and Alexis smiles.
"What will you be doing?" Tyler questions the blonde girl, and she turns back. Caroline crosses her arms and smiles sweetly that has too much of an edge to be real.
"Pumpkin carving." She tells him in a sickly sweet tone and he fakes being shocked.
"Oh I see how it is now." Tyler obverses in a tone like somethings up.
"You do? How is it? Caroline questions, tilting her head, looking at him challengingly as he nods, looking over to Matt then back at her. Alexis and Matt finding this far too entertaining.
"Roped us into moving all the heavy stuff around while you have all the fun." Tyler huffs at Caroline, purely teasing and no heat behind it but its Alexis who looks at him.
"You'd want a pregnant girl like me moving large, heavy items?" Alexis drawls out, crossing her arms over her chest while giving Tyler a challenging look. He groans knowing he can no longer win this 'argument.' He looks back at Caroline who beams with triumph Matt pulls away from Alexis, stepping closer to his friend.
"Come on, man." Matt tells him, clapping him on the upper arm and Tyler nods but Caroline just needs to get another dig in.
"Big strong men like you. I'm sure you'll survive." Caroline drawls out, mocking and sarcastically but he just smirks like he just won after all with infuriate her further.
"You can carve pumpkins with us when you finish." Alexis speaks up looking mostly at Matt but also Tyler."We still need to do allot of them right?" She asks Caroline who purses her lips, looking at her best friend.
"I suppose so." She says, it's clear she's means Matt's welcome and that she'll put up with Tyler as her narrowed, annoyed eyes are on him.
"What about today's classes?" Matt questions looking over to his girlfriend but it isn't her that answers him.
"Oh, It's mostly revision and not mandatory today if you part of the committee because we have to get this done. And we get extra credit for it." Bonnie speaks up, casually as it was most of the reason she joined.
"Don't worry, I'll put your guys's names down for it. Now go." Alexis tells them and the boys scoff. Matt presses a kiss to Alexis check before heading off with Tyler to move some of the tables around. As soon as the boys are gone the girls move outside, to one of the few pumpkin carving stations. Each with a pumpkin in front of them, before Bonnie and Alexis even start they jump as Caroline just starts stabbing the top of her pumpkin in frustration like she wants to kill someone or something. Bonnie and Alexis both look confused and slightly frightened as they meet each others eyes.
"Caroline." Bonnie speaks carefully getting the blue eyed girl's attention.
"What?" The blonde huff, yanking the knife out of the pumpkin and looking at the other girl.
"Are you alright?" She's trying to take on too much responsibility to fast while trying to recover from her abusive relationship with Damon and it's only frustrating her more because she can't. Along with the fact they are behind in the amount of stuff they need to get done today and that Stefan is suddenly a dick is getting to her. Caroline stabs the pumpkin again.
"No, I'm not alright. The Salvatore brother's can burn alive for all I care. Tyler can also shut up. We just need to get this done so tonight can go perfectly." Caroline explains like it's obvious and maybe it is. The girl is just really stressed out lately, arguing with her mother and taking the end of the cheer season hard as well as taking on much more responsibilities as Alexis slowly starts steps back because of her pregnancy. Caroline just feels like shes almost being crushed, not that she'd let anyone other then them know that, still feeling the need to portray herself to everyone as a girl who has everything together. The perfect one. The queen bee.
"Tonight will be awesome, Care. It' all anyone has been able to talk about the past week." Expect for Vicki and the murders Alexis tells her and the blonde pauses before smiling.
"And everything is on track. We still have the entire day to finish up." Bonnie adds on, tilting her head to persuade her friends.
"You're right. It will be." Pointing the knife loosely at Alexis as she talks. " And you know what? I'm going to have a word Stefan tonight, if he dares show up at our event after that." Caroline tells them, still furious at everyone with the last name Salvatore. Bonnie laughs softly at that and Alexis smiles, despite herself.
"You know as sucky as what he did, something kind of good did come of it." Alexis tells her thoughtfully, small smile on her face. Caroline puts down the knife, arching a brow, smirk on her face.
"Intrigued." Caroline tells her and Alexis smiles proceeding to tell them of the morning as they start on they're pumpkins. Mostly cutting the top out. She tells them how Matt made her breakfast, dancing around like a fool and singing at the top off his lungs, it lightens the mood significantly and they're all laughing, not getting much done.
"Wait, wait." Bonnie speak up, laughing but quieting the others down before looking at Alexis. "The question is was cooking good."
"It was pretty good." The brunette girl nods, looking full of joy a sweet smile on her face as she nods. Bonnie quickly nudges Alexis, the girls looks to her still laughing and Bonnie motions her to look over Caroline's shoulder only to see Tyler and girls all quickly try to calm themselves down, scrambling to look like they weren't just speaking about one of them but they can tell something's up when they walk over.
"You girls having fun?" Matt asks, coming around the table to sit on the other side of Alexis who nods.
"So much fun." She tells him, huge smile on her face before leaning and pecking him on the side of his face. He smiles but still knows somethings up, while Tyler takes the one of the two only other seats left, both either side of Caroline. He choose to sit on her right, directly across from Matt and the blonde girl rolls her eyes as he does so but she's smiling. Tyler looks in front of them before flicking between the girls, baffled look on their faces
"You have seriously gotten next to nothing done? We've been gone for almost twenty minutes." Tyler wonders, seeing they've hardly done anything. Caroline pulls the top of the pumpkin she'd been carving out.
"We've done more than you. We had to be watching over, finish posters and do the schedule for tonight."
"Sure." He remarks, in a disbelieving tone and Caroline starts laughing. Not the happy kind the ''you're about to regret that kind Tyler shakes his head, eyes flicking to Matt, not seeing as the blonde reaches into the pumpkin , pulling out a handful of seeds before lifting her hand and smearing it on his face. Everyone gasps, pausing for a moment, jaws dropping at her actions along with the shocked frozen look on Tyler's face. It's quite only a moment before Caroline pull her hand back with a smirk and they just can't help but laugh, including Tyler. He ends up wiping his face off with a rag, shooting Caroline looks in a clear way he's plotting revenge.
It's fun, all of them sitting around the table carving pumpkins and pumpkin seeds getting everywhere as people flick them at each other with every chance they get. Alexis and Matt helping each other with their pumpkins, its almost sickeningly cute as they all talk, joking around. They talk about everything and anything Even as Matt's smiling and having fun she can tell his mind is still else where but that's okay because most of them sitting have something else weighing on them but right now sitting here and carving these pumpkin's they're all okay. All full of life, happy to be alive.
Matt ends up leaving school around 11:00 just after they had finished with the pumpkins. He had pulled a laughing Alexis to the side, away from the table. She looks up at him and he loos down with a fond look on her his face but she can see worry. She thinks it's just about Vicki but when he speaks up, she realizes she's wrong. "I didn't mean to push you away, early. I didn't even realized I did until Tyler and I were talking." He starts to tell her softly, feeling awful for doing that. He's lucky Tyler told him, he's lucky he has Tyler because Tyler always pulls him up on things like that. Tyler's been doing that so much more lately and he's good he has that crutch as well in his friend.
It had hurt her yes, but only in that moment. He was panicking about his sister, she more blames herself for not being able to help him at that moment but him saying this now does ease her more even if she wasn't upset. Her lips quirk up sweetly, finding it endearing and sweet spoke up about it, make everything clear so there's no left over thoughts that could cause issues.
"It's okay." She tries to tell him, reaching and grabbing his arm gently but he shakes his head.
"It's not, I shouldn't have done that." He argues and the doe eyed girl pauses. She lets out a breath, before thinking careful about what she says next.
"Okay than I understand, it was in the moment. I didn't know what to do, and you were in a panic." Alexis explains softly, gentle look upon her face as she gazes up it him. He lets out a breath, smiling a little.
Thank you." He tells her, feeling some the weight that was on his shoulders disappear. "But I think I'm going to head home...I just...I have a feeling Vicki's gonna go there." The blond tells her and she lets out a breath, looking down and nodding.
"Okay, let me know if you hear from her." Alexis speaks softly, eyes going back to his.
"I will. I'll see you tonight." He promises her, before leaning down and kissing her farewell.
Hey thanks for reading! I know, i know it's not the carnival, really I wanted more fluff before I tear all of your hearts out. I think i was procrastinating cause of the next chapter and such. Those are the hardest chapters I've written. It has one or two scenes at the beginning then it's at the carnival oml this is gonna hurt. Also Matt's reaction to Vicki calling is much different here from canon because of how Vicki was changed int his story, how he saw her also changed. Instead of being almost annoyed by it like he did in the show hes more worried than that. With Tyler helping him out is a major thing in this to show that can't be 100% what each other needs in certain moments. I think Alexis would have been able to help at a different time but she was at a loss cause her mind was also running a million miles. I was going to have more tyler in this but ended cutting it though hell get some time next chapter.
Thanks for reading! Remember to Fav, Follow and Review. Hope you enjoyed this last little bit of joy, cause there will not be a single one with it next time.(i was crying writing the scenes) Let me know what you think! Any idea's you have or thoughts let me hear them! Leave a review or PM me :) (Sorry for any mistakes, still a little out of practice)
*Also in need of a beta or someone to bounce idea's off.
