Alex was woken up the by the 7am wake up call. Today was there last day before a three day weekend.
"There still gonna make us run at 7am the day before break."
"What do you expect it's Quantico." Shelby reminded her.
"True."
...
Alex stood under the hot spray of the shower. Her muscles ached. She was thinking about tonight, how she wouldn't be spending New Year's with the one person she wanted too. The last moments she spent with Ryan before he left for LA kept replaying through her mind.
"You asked me this morning, why I hadn't left yet."
"Yeah well, it's hard to go back to the real world I guess."
"This is my real world. I've kept this undercover this going for forever. I didn't want to leave you."
"I spent a lot of time trying to figure out who the real Ryan Booth is, what you did back there, I think I saw him."
"So what's next."
...
She didn't want to miss him, but she did. Like Natalie said, just call him. So she did. Alex heard ringing. She started walking towards the ringing, what she saw took her by surprise.
"Alex?"
Alex turned on her heel and left. She started to go upstairs but Ryan followed her.
"What, your wife lets you go into bathrooms with ex girlfiriends."
"She' not my wife, she's my ex wife."
"Were undercover.
'Your always undercover.'
"We're still friends. Look if you knew the whole story this wouldn't even be an issue with you right now."
"You did not just say if I knew the whole story."
"Alex, listen to me, everyone at HQ knows we work well as partners, so they assign us to an op., were married. And you told me to leave."
"I never told you to leave."
"Well you sure as hell didn't ask me to stay."
"I thought you were in Los Angles, If I knew you were 30 mins away, I would have..."
"You would have what? Then you would have asked me to stay? Alex you don't know what to do with me when I'm two feet away."
Ryan leaned don and kissed Alex. She pushed him back, not knowing if he was saying the truth or if he was lying to her again. She ran out of the bathroom and downstairs to grab her coat, it was nearing midnight and Alex just could be with him. She ran outside knowing Ryan was close behind her. She stood outside in the cold trying not to cry. Ryan ran outside, he ran down the front steps trying to find Alex before she disapered from his life forever. He looked to his left an then to his right finding her sitting on a bench. He sat down next to her. He pulled her into him.
"I'm sorry."
"For what, I'm the one who should apologize. I was being a bitch Ryan, I'm sorry."
"Your forgiven."
Alex chuckled. "Take the win."
Ryan chuckled back at her comment.
"Come on, lets get out of here." He spoke as he stood with his hand still in hers.
