My friends have always been like my family you know. I guess when you are missing one of the essential truths of life you go and search for it in other places. I don't know what I would do without the people I care about the most, they really try to keep my best interest in mind, even Jay in his own way. When we fight however, it's bad, earth shattering almost. One of these days, one of our fights may be the end to our little family, but then again Mud is thicker than blood.
It was 3 AM. Alex kicked some rocks with her foot as she stood outside of her temporary residence, trying to find the strength to go in. She had to get out of there earlier, and although she and Paige had provided each other mutual comfort that evening, she couldn't help the fact that she felt guilty. Finally after several moments she quietly turned her key in the door.
"You got to be kidding me." Alex whispered to herself as she tried to push the door open but to no avail. "What idiot put the chain on knowing I have to come home." Alex tried to peak through the crack in the door only to see part of Marco's foot hanging off the couch as he snored contently. She gently pulled the door back as she tried to figure out a way to get into the house. "Think Alex. I cant climb through the window, I know Sean has all of them locked. Sean," Alex knew there was no way Ellie let him in the bedroom after that fight, and she knew just where he would be. Alex carefully walked to the back of the house and over to the garage. Sure enough, when she peered through the window there was Sean dead asleep at his working bench with a wrench in his hand.
"Sean," Alex tried to be quiet at first but it wasn't working. After a few failed attempts at calling him she decided to try and aim a pebble at him through a hole in one of the window panes of the garage door.
"Ouch, what in the..." Sean woke up angry and rubbing his head. He disorientedly looked around to see Alex jumping up and down through the garage window. "Alex?" Sean said to himself as he got up to lift up the door to the garage.
"It's about time you woke up." Alex said angrily as she walked in.
"Why in the hell did you throw a rock at me, are you trying to kill me?" Sean said angrily, his head still pounding.
"Oh please, It was a pebble, and the only way to get you up. Some idiot put the chain on the door and I need to go through the kitchen, I figured you would be in the garage." Alex said as she walked by Sean and shook her head at the sight of the beer cans in the trash.
"I 'm the idiot." Sean said as he sat back down.
"Huh," Alex looked at Sean like he had two heads.
"No, I'm saying I put the chain on," Sean laughed. "I'm still a little uneasy about the window incident and I didn't think you would be back tonight."
"Where would I sleep at genius," Alex asked half serious, half joking. "I'm going to bed."
"Do you think she was serious tonight Lexie," Sean asked with a pitiful look on his face.
"Why don't we talk in the morning. Maybe I can talk to her for you or something." Alex gave Sean a sad look, "Don't get your hopes up though." He nodded as she walked through the door that connected the garage to the kitchen. She peaked in the living room to see Marco and Craig sprawled out, and for a moment considered joining them. She had to face Jay though and she already knew he would be up waiting for her. She quietly walked over to her new bedroom and opened the door. Jay was laid across the bed on his stomach, his head at the foot of the bed. He didn't even look at her when she came in, he just continued to watch the T.V. pretending not to notice her. Alex looked at him and rolled her eyes as she went to the drawer and grabbed a big pullover shirt for her to change into. "So your just going to sit there and not say anything huh." Alex chuckled to herself counting in her head just how long this little silent treatment would last. She knew Jay, and in any given moment he would flip out.
"So where did you go, who where you with. I think you like messing with me."Jay said in an almost sadistic voice.
"I needed to get away from you and this house, so I took a walk," Alex lied.
"For three hours, how fucking stupid do you think I am." Jay asked angrily.
"I was with a friend." Alex said as she sat on the edge of the bed.
"Alex you don't have any friends." Jay said as he changed the channel searching for anything but Body by Jake or the Magic Bullet.
"What are you talking about, I have plenty of friends." Alex said letting her attitude show as she pulled the covers over her.
Jay finally sat up and looked Alex in her eyes. "Look, I don't know where you went, or what you were doing, but I know it was because of me. I guess I'm trying to say sorry. I shouldn't have started with Sean and Ellie it's just... I hate Craig, I wanted them to get mad at him. I didn't really think they would turn on each other." Jay said sincerely as he sunk down in his pillows.
"I don't like Craig either Jay, but we haven't even been here for 24 hours and they are on the verge of divorce." Alex said as she began to loosen up to Jay some.
"They are not going to get a divorce, you act like they haven't fought before. I mean we fight all the time and we're still together." Jay laughed.
"Well we aren't married," Alex said as silence fell in the room.
"Well would you want to be," Jay said a few minutes later.
"Want to be what?" Alex asked half afraid that Jay was serious.
"Married," Jay asked curiously.
"Um, one day I guess. That would be weird." Alex said as she looked down at her pink ring.
"Why would it be weird we love each other, and we've been together forever. We always comeback to each other no matter how bad we hurt each other." Jay followed Alex's eyes to her finger noticing the pink ring for the first time.
"So what are you saying Jay." Alex asked now getting a little emotional.
"I'm just saying that it may be in the cards one day, so get used to the idea." Jay said as he rolled over and cut off the light.
"I guess I'm sorry too," Alex started.
"For what, you didn't do nothing." Jay said as he shifted his attention to the Juice Man Juicer commercial.
For sleeping with Paige behind your back, Alex thought to herself.
"For leaving like that, I should have stayed here I guess."she decided to say.
"It's whatever, just don't do it again." Alex looked at Jay and smiled, she couldn't help loving him and she couldn't figure out why. He could be suck a jerk but then again so could she. He had a human side, and he had feelings to even if he rarely showed them. Jay always thought he had to be tough and in control, Alex knew she was the only person that he let in like that, maybe that was one of the reasons she loved him so much. But then there was Paige, she knew the feelings she had for her were wrong but they were still there, she was so confused. Before she knew it however; she and Jay were entwined in each other, catching succulent kisses, with baited breath, she knew it was wrong but they christened their new room that night, quietly but passionately. She loved Jay so much after that moment but what about Paige, she needed her too. Maybe they could just be friends this time around. The guilt was really starting to affect Alex, and It was going to be harder on her than she could ever imagine.
