YES! INTERNET! FINALLY! Omy gosh I have been slowly dying without fanfiction, Im so glad we finally got it back. Anyways here's the next chapter and sorry for the wait.

Alex's POV
flashback
"Put your hands up, this is a robbery!" The voice echoed through my mind. I was ten years old and I got out of bed to get a glass of water when I heard the voice in the kitchen.
I peered down the stairs to see Mom and Dad standing behind the register with their hands up.
"Don't move and no one gets hurt" A man dressed in all black and a ski mask told them. I crouched down into the shadows, watching in fear. I wasn't going to be like those idiots in the movie that call out for their parents causing them to get caught. No, I stayed silent and hidden.
"Look sir, we run a slow buisness, we don't have much m-"
"Shut up" The man ordered as he moved behind them still aiming the gun. He grabbed my Dad and pulled him over to the register. I bit my toungue to refrain from making any noise.
"Open it" Dad did as he was told and the man started to take all the money out.
End Flashback
I found myself on the ground with my arms wrapped around myself. I was breathing heavily and Mitchie was crouching beside me looking concerned.
"Alex" she sounded as if she'd been trying to get my attention for a minute or two. I slowly picked myself up off the ground shaking. I gave mitchie a very faint smile.
"Are you okay?" I nodded and looked behind her to see the man who had the gun earlier handing dollar bills to the manager. I looked at Mitchie questioningly and she turned to look at what I had just seen.
"Oh, he's paying for the food" I just stared at her in shock. What the heck? Mitchie's loaded? And I can't let her pay for me, that was food that I stole and ate so I should be the one to pay for it. Obviously there was nothing I could do at the moment but I promised myself at that minute that I was going to pay her back. All of it.
Mitchie's POV
I was getting really worried about Alex. I don't know what happened a few moments ago, but it looked like she was having some sort of panic attack. I wondered if these happened often or something because she didn't seemed too concerned about it. Either that or she's just a really good actress. After we got the whole issue with the manager settled, i coaxed Alex into the limo and we were on our way to my house.
You see, my dad owns like half the town. He's an entrepeneur, a wealthy entrepeneur making our family in the top class of New York. I didn't like all the attention I got. All the people who would suck up to me or my family just to get some money. I hated people like that. That's why I made my dad enroll me in a public highschool where I take extra measures to keep anyone from finding out my families history. Only the principle knows where I am financially.
I watched as Alex looked around in wonder. I thought it was absolutely adorable. Also I think she's never been on this side of town because she would point at something excitedly which would make me giggle at her cuteness and she'd go right back to practically gluing her face to the window. Finally we pulled up to my house, or as I call it, the castle. It was a huge mansion and I've always felt uncomfortable living here. I don't think we need to be living somewhere so... grand. We pulled up to the front and Jaque opened the door for us. I'd given up long ago on trying to open my own door. Dad thinks I need to act properly and apparently propper people don't do things for themselves when there are other people to do it. He took my hand and helped me out of the limousine then was about to do the same thing for Alex when I stopped him.
"Jaque, would you get our bags please?" he nodded and walked around to the trunk where he had put my bag. Alex wouldn't let go of her own. I figured it was becasue its all she owns. I could tell that she was like me in some ways. The way she acted so independantly and everything I could tell she didn't like people knowing that she was homeless, much like I didn't like people knowing I'm rich. If only money didn't make people see other people differently. I extended my arm to Alex and helped her out of the limo and caught her when she stumbled.
"Oh, sorry, I should have warned you about that ledge" I apologized knowing that I have tripped over that countless times. She just shrugged it off turning bright red before standing straight. Weird. I took her by the arm gently and led her into the castle that I called my house. Not my home. Home is where the heart is and my heart steers clear of this place. I led Alex up the grand staircase and up to my room. I had chosen the smallest room in the house, but It was still too big for my liking. Alex took in everything in awe. I watched with a smile on my face as Alex went around the room looking over every bit of it, touching the furniture with one gentle finger as if it were so fragile it'd break at her touch. Then once she finished taking in all the furniture throughout the room, she ran to my window at the other end. She stopped at the glass doors that led to my balcony and looked back at me as if asking for permission.
"Go ahead. Mi casa es su casa" She turned back and carefully opened the doors and went out onto the balcony, letting out a gasp at what she saw. I had to admit, it did have an amazing view. I went out and joined her as she looked over the rooftops of surrounding buildings. You could see most of waverly from here. She turned back to smile at me and I returned the smile with one of my own. It might have been a trick of the light, but I swear i saw her eyes light up when I did.
"Come on, let's get started on our project so that we can have time to just hang afterwards."

Sorry this chapters not as long as I would have liked, but I'm feeling awfully tired. Plus I promised some people I would update "The Kid" too. So until next time. :)
