Hey guys! Thanks for the few reviews i got =] (not many) This chapter was reasnobly hard to write, i find it hard to write Rigsby's part for some reason... Have you ever tried writing with to little kids looking over your sholder the whole time? NIGHTMARE! haha ohwell i got it done =] Enjoy and please REVIEW =D
Disclaimer: Nope still don't own it maybe on day...*nervous laugh* Alexa's mine and well so is Taylor
(Any mistakes are MY fault, really sorry if there are)
While Alexa was unconscious, she dreamt. That she was free of this whole damn mess, She had a mother who hadn't abandoned her when she was 4. She had a father that was the sort to teach her to ride a bike, read her stories at night, Not the drunk, hung over wreck he had turned into.
Alexa was just starting to wake as Lisbon and Jane walked into the bull pen "Cho's out checking a suspect. What happened to Alexa?" Lisbon said
"Really? Already? Anyway we don't know she said she was dizzy then she started to hyperventilate and collapsed." Grace replied rushing over to Alexa, Who was now starting to panic.
"Really? What was she doing before?" Jane asked
"She was on Facebook talking to her friend in Iowa...Taylor I think it was."Grace replied. Jane who already knew what computer she'd been on rushed over and sat down. Her chat was still up and Jane quickly read through what had been said.
Alexa:
Yea don't know what im gonna do. Bet the teachers are pissed they will think im bunking ;P
Taylor:
Hahahaha they do Jess just texted me lol the teacher rang ur dad tho apparently... =/
Alexa:
Shit, hes gonna find out
Taylor:
He already does apparently he came into the school. Hey I gotta go now cya!
Alexa:
Bye then :)
Jane knew what it was about, yet he didn't say anything simply exited out of the chat and went into the kitchen to make some tea.
"Alexa..?" Grace asked cautiously and Alexa just flinched away and turned over so her back was facing them. Grace sighed, not knowing what to do. "I think I might take her home." Grace finally said. "Sure, Rigsby, go with her, I'll call you if we get something more on the case." Lisbon
"Kay, thanks boss" Grace smiled. "I don't wanna annoy her..."
"Don't worry, I got it, Rigsby said getting up from his desk and walking over to the couch
"Thanks, Wayne." She replied as Rigsby carried Alexa over to the elevator, Grace had to run to catch up. "We can have lunch at my place."
"Awesome!"
Alexa had fallen asleep by the time they had gotten back to Grace's "Oh I don't want to wake her." Grace murmured to Rigsby. Again Rigsby simply lifted her out of the car and carried her up to Grace's apartment. "Thank goodness I have a guest room." Grace joked
"Yeah, Haha." Rigsby laughed going into the spare bedroom.
"You wanna have some lunch and watch a movie?" Grace asked
"Yeah, why not. I can always stay over tonight." Rigsby smiled
"I'd like that." Grace said back grinning
The movie had finished and Rigsby and Grace had fallen asleep next to each other on the couch, They didn't know what time it was when Alexa woke them both by her 'loud enough to wake the dead' screeches.
Grace jumped out of bed and ran down the hallway followed by Rigsby, cautiously opening the door and going over to Alexa, She was shaking but her screams seemed to of subsided a bit. Grace bit her lip, she would hate to wake her, but why let her suffer? "Alexa, Lexi, sweetie wake up." She said touching her shoulder. Alexa had heard her mother and felt her touch yet she didn't seem to click. Nightmares were always like that for Alexa whenever she had one she would scream but her dad wouldn't dare come comfort her he just took some masking tape and put it over her mouth, it was horrible, not right. How could someone who was meant to love you do that to her. He usually ended up slapping her a few times in the face to 'Sort her out' it didn't at all make her better though, of course it didn't. He was her dad! She never understood it. She always jumped at the chance to stay at Taylor's only to have a pair of scissors jabbed into her arm. She could never do anything about it she never had and she never would. She needed revenge though. It was something she would have fun planning. Against her father? No! Yet after all he had done to her, the physical scars and the mental ones would NEVER leave her. She was scared for life and there was nothing. Not even time that could fix her.
Screaming again, she scooted away, to far away, she fell off the bed. Embarrassing! Ow? She cursed under her breath and instantly reached up to her head. She kicked herself inwardly Why? Why did everything and I mean EVERYTHING happen to her? Unlucky kid, it was almost slightly like Romeo and Juliet, maybe not quite. There was no secret lover that she wasn't allowed to see, but there was bad luck. Now that was something she had. Like in Romeo and Juliet when everything seems to be going fine and to plan something always comes up and ruins everything. A unhappily ever after ending. And that was where she was aheading. A fateful ending. Everything was annoying and everything that happened to her was bad never good, she had never been blessed with luck, it was just a trait she didn't have. Was everything that happened to her bad? Yes including her head right now. " Alexa-"
"What? I'm fine...Ow" she exclaimed as she pulled her hand away. "fine, I'm not ok then." She snapped. Grace rolled her eyes and held her hand to help her up
"Wayne can you turn the light on? Thanks." She said as the room flooded with light "Oh look what you've done!" Grace exclaimed
"I'm fine really. Oh" she said as she saw herself in the mirror. Her eyes drifted straight up to above her left eyebrow. She cursed again, loud enough that Grace heard
"Oi no swearing please."
"Oh come on its not like you have a giant gaping wound on your head."
"Alexa, its tiny, it's hardly even bleeding, if you weren't so silly you wouldn't of wacked your head." Alexa being the drama queen that she was pouted
"Really? You think I think this is bad, ive been through way worse" she said turning her arm over showing the many white and pink scars covering her wrist and arm. Grace was gobsmacked "What did that son of a bitch do to you Lex?"
"It wasn't him...It was me." She said starting to cry. "Oh mommy I'm sorry. I just didn't know what to do." Grace made a 'come here' gesture and in a flash Alexa was in her arms sobbing
"Hey, it's ok Lexi, we'll get through this" she said sitting down on the bed with Lexi still holding on to her. "I'm sorry I left you, and I will never leave you again. I've already missed out on 10 years of your life, I'm not gonna miss out on anymore"
"I believe you mom, I really do." Lexi said looking down her red hair covering her face
"Like mother, like daughter." Wayne whispered whilst walking back down the hall.
"Hey, Jane I'm going home now."
"Bye, darling Teresa." Lisbon rolled her eyes
"Really? You're going to start this crap?"
"I know you love it"
"Do not!"
"Can I come home with you tonight" Jane said out of the blue
"What!" She said before clicking "No you most certainly cannot!" She said turning on her heel and walking out of the bull pen
"Love you!" Jane called out before settling down on his couch and closing his eyes. darkness, what a wonderful thing.
