Someone wrote me and inspired me to write the next chapter, so thank you whoever you are Thank you. Sorry this one is sad, but I had to write a twist or this would have been the last chapter. Now I can write on it more. Enjoy

A few hours later they are both on the couch cuddling together watching some movie that neither of them was interested in. Alex looks over to Mitchie "So prom's coming up when we go back to school." Alex tells her.

Mitchie nods "I heard."

Alex looks at her a little nervous "Do you think we should go together?"

Mitchie looks at her "Are you asking me to prom?"

"Yeah kind of. I mean if you want to go." Alex says

"I do. I just want to be the one to ask." Mitchie says.

"Well you can still asks me." Alex tells her.

"Okay." Mitchie says then just turns back to the movie.

"Aren't you going to asks me?" Alex asks.

"Not right now. You've already asked me this way. My way is going to be so romantic and sweet that your have sex with me before prom night." Mitchie tells her

Alex smiles and throws her leg over so she straddling Mitchie "I kind of already want to have sex with you."

"Oh yeah." Mitchie asks with a smile.

Alex smiles and nods as she leans in for a kiss, a few seconds into the kiss the phone rings. "Don't you dare." Alex mumbles in-between kisses.

Mitchie smiles into the kiss as Alex pushes her back until she laying down with Alex on top of her. The answering machine plays a short message followed by a beep then Tess voice enters the apartment "Mitch, I know it's your date, and I hate to interrupted you, but we just ran into a few people from back home." Mitchie pulls away from Alex and listens to her friend "And the guy are about to get into a fight with them. I need your help I heard someone say that they're calling the cop. Hurry Mitchie, you know where we are." Tess says fast then hangs up.

Mitchie gently pushes Alex off of her and gets up "I'm sorry Alex, I have to help them." Mitchie says as she grabs her jacket.

Alex nods "It's okay. I understand. I'll just call you tomorrow."

"No…why do you just stay here." Mitchie says "It won't take me long and when I get back we can finish this."

Alex smiles and kisses her "Okay. I'll just tell my parents I'm staying here."

"I'll be right back." Mitchie says and gives her one last kiss before she runs out the door. After a quick call to her parents Alex sits down and waits for Mitchie as she watches the movie that is still on. She lays down and without even meaning to falls asleep.

Alex stirs away later and looks up at the clock to see it's 4:43. She gets up and walks to Mitchie room thinking that maybe Mitchie had gotten back already and didn't want to wake her. When she gets in the room she finds no Mitchie, but she hears the front door open and smiles knowing who it is.

She walks back into the living room "It's about time…" Alex starts and stops dead when she see a bruised and bloody Mitchie standing in front of her "Oh my god." Alex then runs to her looking over her. Mitchie has a split lip, a bruised cheek, a cut over her eye, and another cut a crossed the bridge her nose. But the thing Alex is more concerned with is the blood all over her shirt and hands.

Alex lifts up her shirt trying to find the wound "Where is all this coming from?" She asks franticly as a million thoughts run to her head. Did she get shot, stabbed, was she in a wreck? Should she call 911? When she finds nothing but a few bruises on Mitchie's stomach Alex looks up at Mitchie face to see tears freely falling down her cheeks, leaving clean streak down her bloody face. "Mitchie where is all this blood coming from?"

"It's not my blood." Mitchie says.

Alex looks at her for a second "Who's is it?" She asks slowly.

"Tess's." Mitchie whispers as more tears fall.

Alex wraps her arms around Mitchie letting her cry into her shoulder, not really knowing what to do next or what to say. After a few seconds Alex pulls back "We should clean up your cuts."

Mitchie nods as Alex leads her into the bathroom. Mitchie pulls out a first aid kit and hands it to Alex who starts cleaning the blood off Mitchie face "You okay?" Alex asks Mitchie lightly nods. "What happened?"

"Tess called. I went. There was a fight. I couldn't stop it. She got shot. She died." Mitchie tells her flatly.

"Mitch…" Alex starts.

"Alex I really don't want to talk about it right now. Okay?" Mitchie yells at her, Alex nods. Mitchie sighs and looks at the floor "Maybe you should just go."

"Is that what you want?" Alex asks a little sad that she wouldn't be there to help her throw this.

"Yeah I think it is." Mitchie tells her.

"Okay." Alex whispers then leans in and gently kiss Mitchie on the lips. When she feels that Mitchie isn't kissing back she pulls back. "Bye."

"Bye." Mitchie says coldly not even look at her. Alex takes one last look at her broken girlfriend, who just stares blankly at bathroom floor.

Then she walks out of the apartment just as she shuts the door Shane walks up, as equally beat up as Mitchie but less bloody "Mitchie in there?" He asks.

"Yeah." Alex tells him, he start to go in but Alex stops him "Shane what happened?"

Shane takes a deep breath and turns back to her "Me, Ryan and Tess when to this club, and we ran into a few people from back home. They said that Ryan owed them money, and of course Ryan said he didn't. Tess called Mitchie cause she's the only one that can really reason with him. And she did, but there was no reasoning with the other people. And a fight started." Shane's voice breaks and his eyes start to water "Then someone pulled out a gun and shot Tess…" He takes another deep breath then finishes "She died in Mitchie arms before the ambulance even got there."

"My god." Alex whispers tears just as close to falling from her eyes as Shane's. She may not have liked Tess all that much, but she didn't hate her and she knew that this had to be killing Mitchie. "Where's Ryan?"

"The cops showed up and he had warrants, so they took him." Shane says "Why are you leaving?"

"She wanted me too." Alex explains sadness evident in her voice.

"I wouldn't take it to personal. She'll do the same thing to me. She tends to want to deal with the big stuff by herself." Shane tells her "She always been that way."

"Okay." Alex say as she whips tears off her cheeks "See you later."

"Yeah." Shane says then goes into the apartment. Alex walks home crying to herself the whole way.

Review please. What do you think?
