I do not own Degrassi
Marco's POV still
Something about Alex's life scares me. It gives me the jitters inside. I don't know but it's like her soul is sending me messages, cries of pain. Of course most people can't see pain when
they look at her. All they see is a hot raven haired girl with a whole lot of muscle that she showed off in her wife beater she always wore. That isn't what I notice when I look at her.
Maybe that is because I am not physically attracted to girls, or maybe it is because I am not shallow like those people are. When I look at her I see someone calling out for help. Maybe
not help necessarily for her, but for someone. That's why I wanted Paige to talk to Alex, to get through to her. Alex is a strong girl. Some might call it tough, but I don't think that is a good
thing in this situation because she thinks she can handle it alone. Wait, I don't even know if there is a situation. Yeah I do, I am just scared I won't be able to handle it. She might be
going through something horrific and all I am worried about is me.
Paige and Alex sit next to each other in English class. Alex gets yelled at because she forgot her homework, again. She always does that. No, actually she doesn't. I asked her about it
once and she said she doesn't do her homework when something more pressing comes up. She's been drawn back lately. Ellie said that she'd been over to her house, Sean's I mean, oh
I don't know, but Ellie won't tell me why. Ellie and Alex have been hanging out often, playing cards and talking about who know's what. I sit by Alex at lunch. We are by ourselves
because Paige has something with the guidance counselor or something like that. "Hey Alex. How's it going." I asked her.
"It's great." She replied in a monotone, not very excitedly.
"Alex, tell me what happened." When she was about to say nothing, I cut her off and said "don't lie. I know how much you like when people are being honest. You are slipping away. You
are getting more tired everyday and you never take your sweatshirt off like you are cold or something. What is going on?"
Alex couldn't look at me. She was battling in her mind trying to find what to say. Finally she spoke up in little more than a whisper "I can't say it now people would hear me and then well I
will tell you after school . I wasn't ready for what she would tell me next.
The title of this chapter is from Soul Asylum also.
