Chapter 3

It was a cold winter morning when Alex had woken up. She gently stretched her body and shivered from the cold temperature. As Alex slowly rose up from the bed she then pulled on her black form fitting sweater and blue jeans. She realized that there was a mirror in her room and decided to freshen herself up. Once she was finished brushing her hair and applying her makeup she then went to grab her cell phone noticing one missed call. Alex then opened her phone to see that the missed call was David…

Alex frowned at the sight and immediately closed her phone not even bothering calling him back. She then opened the door to her room and rushed down the stairs to see Evelyn in the kitchen while all the boys were hanging out in the living room. Alexandra couldn't help but smile at the sight of the boys fighting over the remote while Jackie was busily playing a tune on his guitar.

The sight of them all together made Alexandra realize that this is what a family was supposed to be like. She then was about to go help her aunt in the kitchen until someone called her name. "Hey Alex! Come here!" Alexandra turned around and realized that Angel was waving her over. Alex smiled and walked over to the boys, noticing Bobby watching her idly.

She knew that he was going to get her back after what she did last evening to him but she just couldn't help herself. Bobby was this strong, intimidating, I always get what I want character and she purely wanted to put it out to him that she could beat him at his own game.

"Listen Baby girl let's settle this straight. Let's say your roommate has gotten to watch every show that she wanted to see but you haven't been able to watch any of yours so when one finally comes on you want to see it but your roommate demands to have full control of the TV and Remote? Who do you think its fair for to have the remote?"

Alex then shrugged. "It depends if I was out having fun or not." Angel then arched his brow. "What do you mean?" Alex smirked at him and shrugged.

"Well I figure your putting yourself in my shoes so let's say the reason why I wasn't watching my shows was because I was out having fun ya know sleeping with various men, partying till the break of dawn, sleeping till the late afternoons. Pretty much the rock star lifestyle. Well then I guess I would say that the person who had a chance to watch all of their favorite shows doesn't have as much of an exciting lifestyle as you and deserves to have their own piece of happiness since you already had yours."

Bobby scoffed, while Jerry snickered. "I like the way she thinks!" He said happily and snatched the remote. Angel rolled his eyes and was about to say something until they all heard a pounding on the door. "ANGEL I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE! YOU BETTER OPEN THIS DOOR!" A woman shouted. Bobby automatically had a large grin form on his face as he excitedly bounced in his seat.

"Oh man La Vida Loca is here!"

Angel glared at him as the door continued to pound. "ANGEL YOU OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR!" She shouted again, Alex looked over at him helplessly while Angel cursed under his breath and walked to the door. "Who's La Vida Loca?" Bobby snickered, as he rolled his head back up to look at her.

"Some crazy bitch that Angel's banging."

Alex looked at him curiously and then looked back at Angel who opened the door. As soon as the door was fully open, in came a very irate Hispanic woman. She was about the same height as Alex and had the same dark brown hair but her skin was much darker than hers and she carried brown instead of blue eyes. The woman then started to scream at Angel in English and in Spanish.

"You son of a bitch! Who the hell is she!?"

Alex arched her brow, while Angel looked at her completely confused. "Baby Who's who?" The woman then started to get even more upset, not even caring that Angel's mother was in the house with them. "That whore! I saw her Angel! I saw her come into your house yesterday! And I know she's still here!" Alex tilted her head to the side, hearing her scream at him in Spanish and couldn't help but smirk.

"Baby listen…"

The woman wouldn't hear any of it and continued on. "No! I know she's here! Where is she I want to beat the hell out of that whore of yours!" Alex couldn't help but laugh and started to clear her throat and wave her hand to get their attention.

"Um excuse me? If you're going to insult me and insist on calling me the white bitch then may I suggest that you say it in a language that I don't understand?"

Bobby, Jerry and Jack then started to burst out into laughter while the woman's glare then immediately turned to her. "You little slut! Who the hell are you?" Alex couldn't help but laugh at her, as she crossed her arms.

"Slut huh? Well this slut is actually Angel's Mother's actual niece who came to visit for winter break. Do you understand that Amiga?"

The woman became even more furious and stormed up to her. "You listen here you little…" Alex couldn't help but continue to grin at her which caused the woman to fall off her train of thought. "What the hell are you smiling at?" Alex shrugged, as she placed her hands into her pockets. "Oh nothing just the fact that you are really getting that bent out of shape at the fact that I'm here. Listen sweetheart I'm going to tell you a little secret. Stop being such a psychotic, jealous woman! And actually think and consider the fact that I may be here for different reasons other than screwing your man. Which I gotta admit he does have a nice ass." She smirked, giving Angel a wink. Angel gave her a flattered grin, placing his hands in his pockets.

"Thanks!"

Alex chuckled and waved her hand. "De nada." She then looked over at the woman who was fuming at her and held her hand out. "I'm Alexandra Verona. I am Evelyn Mercer's niece and will only be here for a week." The woman looked at Alex's hand and hesitantly shook it. "I'm Sophi." Alex nodded, retracting her hand back.

"Well it's really nice to meet you Sophi. Sorry about the mix up."

Sophi shrugged, somewhat embarrassed. "I'm sorry. My temper can get out of hand at times." Alex laughed. "I know the feeling. Listen the guys are going to play a hockey game you wanna come with me to go watch them?" Sophi looked at her skeptically. Never since she's known the Mercer's have they been so opening to her well at least all of them except Angel. However, she figured that maybe this Alex wasn't so bad; why not give her a shot? "Sure… What time are you idiots playing?!" She started to yell towards Angel. Angel shrugged and looked over at the guys. "In about two or three hours?" Sophi thought it over and nodded. "Fine! But Angel make this as a warning if you bring any girl here then I will show you how…" Bobby then immediately interrupted her.

"How La Vida Loca you really are?"

Sophi then glared over at him. "Shut up Bobby!" Alex chuckled, which caused Bobby to grin even more. "What!? I'm just finishing the sentence for you!" Sophi then started to get really upset at Bobby and pointed her finger towards him and started to cuss him out in Spanish. Bobby smirked raising his hands up in a defending manner.

"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa! Angel get your girl in check man!"

Angel then went to Sophi and tried to stop her while Bobby continued to grin at her. Angel then went to grab Sophi and pulled her out into the other room. Once Angel and Sophi were in the other room, Bobby then turned around to see Alex standing there with her arms cross, smirking at him. "What?!" Bobby asked innocently. Alex just shook her head and started to laugh.

"I can definitely see what you're talking about now but to be honest Bobby you cause a lot of that chaos right there!"

Bobby snickered as he walked up closer to her. "You will learn baby girl that Chaos is my middle name." Alex nodded, giving him a large grin. "Somehow I'm not surprised by that." Bobby grinned at her and was about to say something until Alex's phone then started to ring. He noticed Alex's eyes growing wide and when she pulled her phone out she looked at her caller id and suddenly had a very concerned look adorn her face. "Excuse me…" she said very quietly and then walked over into the laundry room.

Evelyn noticed Alex's change of behavior and sighed. "Oh dear I hope that isn't David." Bobby frowned and looked over at Evelyn curiously. "Who's David?" Evelyn then realized that she said that out loud and saw the look on Bobby's face, basically telling her that he wasn't going to let this go. "David is an Ex Boyfriend of Alex's… He and She are kinda on again off again and let's just say he's very demanding." Bobby then became angry and stared at his mother pointedly.

"What do you mean demanding?"

Just before Evelyn was going to speak they both then heard Alex in the dining room. "David I told you! No I don't want to give it another try I'm tired of giving you these second chances it's over!" There was then a silence and they all heard Alex sigh.

"David please… You always say you're going to do better but you don't! You make these promises to me and you never come through I'm sorry…"

Bobby could tell that Alex's voice was starting to crack and he was so close to taking that phone from her and telling that asshole to fuck off.

"Yeah David… Yeah I did love you once. That is until you left and cheated on me… Until you would come home drunk and beat me senseless no David I'm not going through that again. I don't care how much you say you changed I just can't do it anymore."

Bobby had heard enough and stormed into the laundry room, while Evelyn tried to stop him. He then walked up behind Alex and took the phone from her, not caring about the shocked expression that morphed on her face. "Listen you little fucker she told you it's over now you leave her the fuck alone you understand?" Alex gasped and tried to grab the phone from him. "Bobby! Give me the damn phone!" Bobby waved his hand at her and continued to yell into the phone.

"Oh who the hell am I? I'm her fucking man so you fucking mess with her again I will beat the living shit out of you understand that!?"

Alex groaned in frustration and started to pull his arm. "Bobby!" Bobby ignored her and instead whipped his arm out of her hold and protectively wrapped his arm around her waist. "Nice little threat you fucker I'd like to see you try… Now you listen and you listen good. If you so much as call her, see her, of even fucking think about her I will make your life a living hell do you understand?" Bobby then smirked, while Alex can hear David cussing at him on the other line.

"Now with all that said I wish you an absolutely wonderful day! Bye now!"

He said in a rather friendly tone and slammed the phone shut. He then looked over at Alex who looked at him completely shocked. "Bobby! What the hell has gotten into you!?" Bobby then glared at her, placing her phone in his pocket just in case if David tries to call her again. "So you don't have a boyfriend huh?" Alex's jaw dropped, completely surprised by his action.

"Wait how is this any of your damn business!? You can't just take my phone and pretend to be my boyfriend and tell him to fuck off! I was handling this!"

Bobby scoffed. "Yeah you were really taking care of it! You were sidestepping to the actual point of telling him to just go to hell! I heard part of your conversation Alex! Why the fuck would you go along with some asshole who hits you?!" Alex opened her mouth but closed it again; she was speechless and didn't know how to respond. Instead tears started to well up in her eyes and placed her hands onto her face.

"I don't know! Bobby I don't know! I love him! I can't stop! All he ever does is hit me, insult me, drinks to an oblivion and cheats on me every second he gets but I just can't stay away from him! I don't know why! All he has ever done is hurt me and tear me apart and I just can't break away from that! I just can't"

Bobby then immediately pulled Alex into a hug, as Alexandra wrapped her arms around his waist and cried into his chest. "Bobby I'm so fucked up! My father used to hit me and now David! Maybe this is just the way it's supposed to be!" Bobby tightened his hold on her and shook his head.

"No it's not. This fucker has you believing this Alex but it's not true alright? You deserve someone to love you and take care of you alright? Not this fucker and I'm telling you this from now on if he calls or shows up or anything you're going to tell him that I'm your guy and you're going to make sure that I'm around whenever these instances happen do you understand?"

Alex shakily nodded, still burying her face into his chest, for some reason she felt so safe in Bobby's arms. "Yes…" Bobby nodded, slowly rubbing her back. "Ok baby girl… now come on let's get you something to eat and you can watch me kick some major ass on the ice alright?" Alexandra nodded again, and slowly looked up at Bobby, her eyes red with tears. "Bobby I'm sorry for what I did last night. It was really out of line." Bobby couldn't help but chuckle as he gave her a tight squeeze.

"Alex don't even think about it."

Alex slowly smiled and gently pulled out of his hold and started to wipe her eyes. "Thank you Bobby." Bobby nodded, placing his hands into his pockets.

"It's nothing baby girl. You may have a different last name but you're still a Mercer and Mercer's take care of one another."

Alex chuckled and slowly shook her head. "That is a very good piece of information to know." Bobby then chuckled as well as he followed her into the kitchen.

"Yes… Yes it is."
