DISCLAIMER: Still don't own it. :(
Alex lied in her bed, staring at the ceiling when there was a light knock at the door. "Come in," she replied to the knock.
Harper entered the room. "Hey, Alex," she said softly.
"Oh, hey, Harper. What do you have?" Alex asked, referring to the black rectangle Harper was holding.
"This? Oh, it's your laptop. You left it at my house the night before-" she quickly changed her sentence. "Remember? We were going on and pretending to be old, desperate people."
"Like Justin," Alex added in.
"No. Not at all like Justin! He's way to hot to be desperate."
"Hmm... Well, we all have our own opinion."
The two of them sat on Alex's bed for 4 hours watching TV and talking. Alex felt more at peace than she had in a long time.

Harper had left an hour ago, and it was 5 o'clock now. Jerry entered the room. "Hey, you still up?" he asked.
"Dad, it's only 5."
"Oh... right. How you doing?"
"Just peachy," Alex replied sarcastically. Before he could reply, Alex added, "Why didn't they want me?"
"What?"
"My parents. Why didn't they want me?"
Jerry shifted in his seat, clearly uncomfortable. "I honestly don't know why anyone would chose to get rid of you."
"Dad, just get to it."
He sighed. "Your birth mom was 16 or 17 when you were born. She died giving birth to you. No one knows who or where your dad is."
"What do you know about my mom?"
"She was a junior in some high school in Florida, a wizard, and a cheerleader."
"That explains it."
"Explains what?"
"Why she was pregnant at 16." (A/N: No offense to cheerleaders, I was one last year :) )
Jerry laughed lightly. "But if she hadn't been, you would have never been born, and we wouldn't have been lucky enough to get you. Now you're all grown up."
Not wanting more crying, Alex cut in. "Have the doctors told you when I get to leave here?"
"No one's sure yet. There's still a lot of stuff that they're unsure about and could go wrong."
Alex flopped back on her pillow and sighed.
A/N: Sorry it's so short, but I have no idea where to go with this at the moment. :) Please give ideas!!!!!!!!!!!
