A/N Sorry for the slow update, have been on holiday. Hope you all enjoy!

Megan was looking round Alex's and Pipers apartment. She picked up a picture of a young Alex with her mom. "So how long has it been since your mom died," Alex took the picture from Megans hands and put it back down. "Long enough."

Alex looked at Piper and Piper looked down like she was ashamed of something. When Piper and Alex decided to get back together they both felt it was best to leave the past behind them. But after all the years Piper still felt bad about what she did to Alex when her mom died.

"It wasn't my finest time when she died, I was a bit of a mess, but that's all in the past now, right Pipes."

"Yes," the blonde went over to Alex and gave her a hug. Alex picked up a packet of cigarettes took one out and offered Megan one. Piper took the box from Alex "Al! She's 15," Alex rolled her eyes. "Right, I keep forgetting, sorry."

Alex sat down next to Megan. "How's school then? Are you getting good grades?"

"Yeah, it's good and the grades are fine." Alex smiled "Good" Alex looked down at her wine glass. Piper sat down next to Alex "Why don't we go out tonight for some Thai food or something" Piper said cheerily. "I don't like Thai food," Megan said. "What about Greek food" Alex suggested. Megans eyes lit up "I love Greek food" Alex smiled "Me too." Piper got up "So that's settled then we know a great place down the road I'll book us a table." Piper went into the bedroom with her phone.

Megan and Alex sat in silence "Dad loved Greek food." Alex rolled her eyes, "You don't have to do that, you know bring him up all the time."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is I didn't have the perfect childhood like you did and I am fed up with you rubbing it in." Alex felt relieved that she finally said something. Alex looked at Megan and she looked upset now Alex felt guilty. "Look, I know it's not your fault dad was an ass, it's just I spent years not thinking about him. And then you turn up and I am starting to realize what I didn't have." Megan got up. "It's fine, I spent years wondering what you were like then when I found you I thought about how you'd feel if I turned up on your doorstep." Now Alex felt really bad. "Look, I was so poor growing up, my mom worked 4 jobs and even that didn't cover some of the bills."

Piper came back into the living area "Table is booked at 7." Piper stopped in the doorway "Wow, I sense a lot of tension here." Megan and Alex looked at each other.

Megan got up from the couch "I think I better go, thanks for the Greek food offer."

Megan put her bag on her shoulders and headed for the door, "Al, are you going to stop her?"

Alex folded her arms and looked away. Megan took another look at Alex and shut the door.

Piper looked furious at Alex, "What did you say to her."

"How I felt."

"Oh god that can't be good."

Alex drank some of her wine "I am such a bad person sometimes." Piper hugs Alex "Hey, your not a bad person you've just got this tough exterior." Piper got on her tip toes and kissed Alex's forehead. "If you were a bad person I wouldn't have fallen in love with you."

"I'm sorry Pipes but I had to say something, I just hope she's okay getting home." Piper gave Alex her car keys, "then go and find her and make sure she's okay." Alex took the keys "What do I say to her?"

"Sorry is usually a good start."

Alex put her jacket on, "god, you're so good to me" Alex kissed Piper on the lips and left.

Alex tried to think of where a 15 year old would go. Alex drove to the nearest subway station looking for Megan along the way. Alex's phone rang it was Nicky, "What do you want this isn't a good time."

"Eh yo um me and Lorna are at a bar and your sister just walked in." Alex gently head butted the steering wheel. "Is she drinking? You sure it's her?"

"Hey, I remember from the pictures, Piper showed me, She has just ordered a coke. Though she'd get away with ordering a beer she's tall for her age." Alex felt relieved, "text me the address and I'll come right over."

"Better hurry Vause she's got a creep on her."

Alex put her foot down and drove to the bar. When Alex walked into the bar she saw Megan and a sleazy man with her. Alex got angry she walked up to them and put her hand on the man's shoulder, "Hey, get lost." Alex pushed him back and stood in between them. The man puts his hand on Alex's shoulder, "I was just chatting to this nice lady here." Alex turned around to face him, "She's 15 so unless you want me to shout that you're flirting with someone underage I would back the fuck off if I was you."

"Sorry, my bad I didn't know," the man walked off and left the bar. Nicky and Lorna clapped and cheered in the background, "Yo you still got it Vause." Alex sat on the bar stool, "this is a strange place to go when I was your age, it was the arcade."

"It was the first place I could find."

"Look, I'm sorry for what I said I shouldn't take it out on you its just I am finding this hard."

Megan looked Alex up and down, "Your a jerk you know that."

"Yes, I am a jerk, but unfortunately we're sisters and your stuck with me."

Nicky came up to the bar "We're going now Vause."

"Thanks Nic," Nicky winked at Alex and left with Lorna. "So you're spying on me now?" Megan said "No Nicky spotted you from some pictures, Piper showed her" Alex nudged Megan playfully "She thinks we look alike." Megan laughed, "we kinda do, I mean we're both pretty tall." There was a long pause Alex could tell that Megan was itching to say something. "Look, I'm sorry dad wasn't around for you" That made Alex's heart sank, she put her arm around Megan. "Listen, it's not your fault and I know you don't want to hear this, but he was a waste of space when I met him, but he made an effort with you so at least he amounted to something."

Alex ordered a beer at the bar. "And don't ever say that again, because it's both his and my fault. I should have made some effort to get to know him and I was being too stubborn and resentful." Alex drank some of her beer, "whoa that's a dark speech" said Megan. "Trust me years ago, I was a total asshole, but Piper helped me realize that there is some sort of light somewhere." Alex phone received a text, it was from Piper asking where she is, and if she has found Megan. Alex responded that she has, Alex put some money on the bar. "Want a lift home don't want you walking around this area on your own."

"So you care now."

"Stop being such an emo."

"I'm not an emo"

"Okay so your not an emo, but that table is up for grabs if you still want to get some Greek food?" Megan nodded yes. Alex and Megan got off the bar stools "Come on then Gerard Way, I'll call Piper in the car."
