CHAPTER 14
ALEXANDRA LEAVING

"Jesus," Herc hissed when he saw Alex. "You really have been beaten up, girl."

"What? What are you talking about?" Alex touched her bruised face in panic. "Oh, God, I almost forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me, Herc," Alex smirked.

Two weeks had past since Ryan attacked Alex but she still had nasty bruises all over her face and her ribs were killing her. But the worst part was her aching soul. She was broken, both physically and mentally.

Ryan had been arrested in an expedited procedure. Though it didn't give her any peace of mind. She still woke up every night, screaming and crying, her body shaking with terror. On the other hand, she learned there were people in the world who really cared about her.

The Taylors collected her from the hospital and she spent few days with them. Then she went home and Tyra, Landry, Billy or Jason were always there with her. They never left her alone, not even for a minute. It was nice to have all these people around her.

It was nice she didn't have to pretend she was strong. All of her life, she'd worn a mask, pretended she was someone who was always in control, never feeling anything, never truly let anyone in but that changed. Alexandra Meredith Sawyer changed. She didn't want to be cold anymore even if it scared her.

"Anyway, I'm glad you came. You've been always the realist. Tell him he's an idiot," Herc groaned, pointing at Jason.

"Ahm, you're an idiot, no offense," Alex smiled at Jason. "Why did I say it?" she looked back at Herc.

"I'm going to be a father," Jason grinned.

"What? Oh my gosh! I'm so happy for you," Alex ran to Jason, hugging him tightly. "Au, au, auch…" she hissed. "Now I really forgot about my ribs."

"I don't even know why I thought you're smarter than that," Herc groaned again, before he left.

"What's his problem?" Alex asked, looking at the closed door.

"He doesn't think the baby is mine," Jason sighed.

"Oh… Is it?"

"Yes, for sure," Jason answered as a matter of fact.

"Okay. So who is the girl?" Alex asked, sitting on the couch, trying to find a comfortable position.

"Her name is Erin. She's a waitress at a restaurant. We spent a night together after she saved me from my awful date," Jason answered.

"I remember that. I would say bizarre instead of awful," Alex laughed.

"She doesn't wanna keep the baby," Jason sighed, sadly.

"What?" Alex gasped, shocked. How could anyone not want Jason Street's baby?

"And I think I made it worse when I talked to her… I think I scared her to death. I was like a total psycho," Jason shook his head, remembering how his last conversation with Erin went.

"I'm sure it's gonna be fine, Jay," Alex smiled at him, reassuring.

"Have you met Tim since…"

"No," Alex shook her head, glancing away.

Everybody was there with her except the one person she wanted the most. She waited for Tim everyday but he never showed up, not even a phone call from him. First it hurt her, it truly did but she decided she would be happy for what she had, for the people who cared about her.

"He didn't come to me either," Jason mumbled.

"Because he slept with your girlfriend," Alex groaned.

"Because he thought it was his fault," Jason rolled his eyes. "And I think he thinks it's his fault, what happened to you…"

"Whatever," Alex shrugged.

"So you're leaving?" Jason looked at her after a few moments.

"Yeah," Alex sighed. "Actually, I came to say goodbye. I wanna be in San Antonio before dark."

"Are you sure you wanna do this?" Jason asked, studying her.

"Yes, I have to. I need a clear card, a new start," Alex explained.

"Do you know where're you going?" Jason asked.

"Not yet. I'll figure it out on the road," Alex answered.

"I'm going to miss you," Jason sighed.

"Oh, I'm going to miss you, too," Alex stood up, hugging Jason, careful not to hurt her wounds.

"Hi, sorry, I'm looking for Erin," Alex said to the woman behind the counter.

"She could be back any minute," the woman smiled at her warmly.

"Thank you."

Alex only had to waited a few minutes before she saw Erin.

"Hey, hi. I'm Alex Sawyer, I'm Jason's friend…"

"Leave me alone," Erin glared at her.

"Please, just give me a few minutes, please," Alex asked her, practically begging.

"Fine. Five minutes and that's it," Erin stated.

"Five minutes," Alex nodded, smiling.

"I've known Jason since I was born and you have to know he's one of the most amazing men I've ever known. You know, football was his life and you would have thought he'd've given up after was got paralyzed but he didn't because he's strong. He was able to move on after it. And you know he's such a good man.

"This little life in you is a part of him and it can't be bad. Just give him a chance to show you what an incredible man he is. He would never let you down and I know he will be able to take care of you and the baby and he will love you both more than his own life.

"I only ask you to hear him out when he comes to you again."

Erin's eyes filled with tears as she listened to Alex. Maybe it was because of the hormones but she'd rather thought it was because this girl who she didn't even know talked about Jason with such an admiration in her voice that she was almost 99% sure of her decision without talking to Jason again.

"Tim," Jason yelled, pounding on the door.

He let himself in after a few minutes of pointless shouting. Tim was passed out on the couch, Jason could smell the alcohol radiating from him.

"Hey," Jason pushed him, rudely.

"What?" Tim woke with a start. "What the hell is your problem, Six?" Tim asked, rubbing his eyes.

"What's my problem? What's your problem?!" Jason raised his voice.

"I don't know what you're talkin' about," Tim smirked.

"You exactly know what I'm talkin about. I'm talking about how you haven't seen Alex since she was attacked."

Tim glanced away, then reached for a bottle of beer on the table.

"She's leaving, you idiot," Jason yelled at him, pushing the bottle out of his hand.

"What is wrong with you?" Tim yelled back at Jason.

"No, Tim, what is wrong with you?! I said, Alex is leaving. Today. Do you understand that? She won't come back. So you can decide whether you're going to sit here, feeling sorry for yourself and be a coward or you can go and tell her you love her because I know you do."

"I can't believe you're leaving," Tyra sighed, looking over at Alex's empty place where only one more box was left.

"No worries, I'll call you," Alex hugged her.

"Well, you'd better not disappear on me or I'll go and hunt you down," Tyra smiled.

"I wouldn't risk that. Now go before I start to cry," Alex grinned at her.

"Are you sure you can take that out alone?" Tyra asked concerned, glancing at the box.

"Yes, Mom. Go," Alex pushed her toward the door.

"Okay, but call me when you got there," Tyra commanded.

"I'll call you," Alex rolled her eyes, watching Tyra leaving.

She bent down for the box, then turned to take it to her car when she knocked into somebody.

"Ouch," she hissed as the box pressed into her stomach.

"Sorry," Tim mumbled. "I'll take it," he said, taking the box out of her hands.

Alex watched as he put the box in her car, standing in the door. She sighed, locked the door, putting the key under the flowerpot. She started toward her car where Tim stood, staring at the ground in front of him.

"So… you're leaving," he mumbled when Alex stopped in front of him.

"Pretty much seems so," Alex answered, only this time her voice missed the usual sarcastic tone.

"Where?" Tim asked, glancing up at her.

"Dunno yet," Alex answered and Tim nodded, glancing away.

They stood there, silently for a few minutes, both of them staring far away.

"Tim, if you got something to tell me, say it now," Alex moved her gaze to Tim.

"I…" Tim started, meeting Alex's eyes. "Take care…" he mumbled, dropping his eyes on the ground again.

Alex nodded, moving her hand to his cheek and lightly brushed her lips against his.

"Someday… Maybe…" she smiled at him, sadly, her forehead, leaning against his.

Then she got in the car and drove away without glancing back.
