Chapter Nine

Alex sighed and massaged her temples.

Justin…Justin…He doesn't get it does he?

Alex looked back at the letter from Justin in her hands. Saying such things without knowing the situation…

Alex,

I don't exactly know what happened. But I'm always there if you want to tell me. If you don't, don't sweat it, because there are many things you don't know about me that I can't tell you too. But… What I really want to tell you before anything is that I can't put a person I've just known before my family. No matter how attracted I am to her or how well we get along.

Alex had smiled at that sentence.

You have to understand this. I don't want to be left at the front entrance of our school because you walked out on me in an angry fit again. Not trying to be offensive here. But things about Felicia… She's a little emotionally unstable. It's been that way since young, and yes, I do know about her brother complex on me. But I can't push her away. She is, after all, my sister.

Alex, I've thought about it the whole day. I don't know anything about you. Except your name, your straightforwardness and maybe a little more like your age. I hardly even know where you live. Around Waverly Place, that's probably about as much as I could deduce. And yet, you know so much about me. My family business, where I stay, you've even met my family! And you knew that all before I told you. Alex, are you trying to hide something? Is there something you don't want me to know? Because, Alex, I don't care what it is, I believe I've known worse. Tell me, okay? I swear I won't freak out. I really don't like having things being kept from me.

Don't be afraid of me, Alex. Because if you're afraid of me now, maybe someday when I'm ready to tell you my secret, I know you'll be even more scared of me than ever. I may have just known you, and while I still can't put you before my family, I already don't think I want to lose you. Not a friend like you.

You can tell me anything, okay?

Justin

Alex sighed. Fancy asking her to tell him about herself when he wouldn't even confide in her his secret. She is, after all, my sister. Alex scoffed. I was your sister, and you weren't that worried about me. Alex felt annoyed. What did Felicia do to have so much attention? She probably had lots of pleasant attention from Jerry and Theresa too. Pleasant in a sense that their attention was not because they were worried she would do something bad. . I don't know anything about you. Alex didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He did know about her. In fact, he knew everything about her. It's just that he couldn't remember. And he wouldn't. Ever.

"It's funny." Alex choked through her tears, "How when I was young I used to think that if I ever was the only person in the world to know something that I can't tell anyone, it would be so…so…." Alex coughed, "cool. But now, when it's actually happening…it just….it just…."

Hurt.

There was a knock on her door. Alex wiped away her tears immediately.

"Who are you?" Alex shouted.

"Zena honey? You in there? Unlock the door this instant and come down for dinner! I've been calling you for ages already!" The shrill voice of Tracy shouted through the thin door of Alex's bedroom.

"Go away." Alex muttered rather loudly. She wasn't in the mood for the happiness and peppiness of the Lancolt household.

"Zena…" Tracy sighed, then persisted, "You have to come down. You have a guest."

Alex almost laughed. "Tracy, I won't believe that."

"That's mother to you, Missy! And if you really don't believe me, I can call your guest to come up. But once I prove that you do have a guest, you must come down!" Tracy insisted.

"Fine! Fine! Just go away!" Alex shouted back. Anything to get her away.

"You better keep your promise young lady." Tracy huffed, before walking down the stairs to the living room.

"Like, anyone would know where I live." Alex scoffed.

There was a knock on the door again.

Alex almost burst out laughing, it was probably Tracy coming up embarrassedly telling her that her "guest" had left.

It sure wasn't that.

"Alex, it's me. Justin."

Alex sat there, frozen. Say what?

She regained her composure, then opened her room door. Indeed, Justin was standing there, staring at the floor, his hands in his jeans pocket.

"Why are you here? Wait, how do you even KNOW where I live?" Alex interrogated, without even letting Justin in first.

Justin looked at her straight in the eye, his expression intense, "I thought my letter would require some explaining. And well…" His gaze slid back down to the floor, "I got your address from…some source." He sounded unsure of the answer himself.

He still was a really REALLY bad liar.

Alex softened, "Let's talk inside."

She turned around and allowed him into her room, where he settled down on her desk chair. Alex plopped herself on the corner of her bed.

"What explaining do you want to do?" She asked, rather straightforwardly.

"Whatever you thought needed explaining." Justin replied awkwardly after being taken aback by that question. Apparently, this wasn't the path he had expected the conversation would go.

"Everything then," Alex replied, she knew she was making things difficult for him, she wanted to, "Starting from the first paragraph. In case you forgot what you wrote, take it." She handed him his letter which she had placed on her bedside table.

Justin shook his head, "I know what I wrote."

"Then start explaining." She answered coldly. She knew she wasn't being fair to him. But she couldn't be nice to him either.

"Alex… Can you stop being like this?" Justin looked up from the floor that he had been staring at. Now his piercing dark brown eyes were looking directly into hers, with a pleading look that Alex knew she wouldn't be able to take.

It was her turn to stare at the floor. "No. Not until you explain everything. I really don't understand everything, Justin." She forced her gaze back up to his eyes and challenged him with it.

"Fine…" Justin sighed.

"First paragraph," He started, but before he could continue, Alex interrupted.

"What is it you said you couldn't tell me?" she asked. She wanted to know if he trusted her.

Justin looked up in alarm. "It's better you don't know Alex."

"Why?" Alex burst, "It's just a dumb hereditary thing! It's something that won't harm me! So why can't you tell me!"

Everything was out before Alex could stop it.

How she wish she had Magic to turn back time.

[A/N: OMG! SHE TOLD JUSTIN! AS IN, SHE INDIRECTLY REVEALED THAT SHE KNEW WHAT IT WAS! Nooooo! What will happen?]
