-Chapter 6- One Year Later (Nationals)
After dinner, Alex left. Deep inside, Justin felt a pain. Did he feel back? It couldn't be. Why should he? She's just his little sister. Someone he was finally able to get rid of when he went to college. Someone he wished wasn't related to him. He shook the thought out of his mind and pulled Amanda in for another deep kiss. Yes, Amanda was just a tool. She was there to get his mind off Alex. And it was working pretty well.
Alex sat in her Brooklyn bedroom. Elenita was busy organizing her events and sponsorships so much, that she was barely ever home. In the past 3 years, Alex became quite the famous figure skater. Even people who weren't into figure skating knew of her. She was called the Miracle Skater because of her incredible ability to skate. She skated in new ways. Ways that other skaters couldn't. Her music was different and every time she skated, her choreography was different. Teresa called two weeks after the whole Justin-vacation thing, and said that Justin saw the TV performance and was really amazed. He asked to congratulate her. It made Alex happy, that Justin was still able to take time away from his precious Amanda and see her skate.
Three weeks ago, Alex visited home again, because she graduated high school and again Justin mad a surprise entrance, this time he had a different girlfriend. Her name was Sophie and she was an angel. She was pretty and had reddish hair. She was almost the same as Amanda, except of course Sophie knew that Justin was a wizard. In fact, she got him to start exercising his powers again. This made Alex not regret giving up her powers. She felt thankful. But Justin was going for the worst. He was becoming more and more not himself. She heard her mother complain that Max saw him steal a bouquet for Rosie and not care. Then Harper saw him completely trash an elderly woman. This made Alex upset. Justin wasn't that kind of guy. He would never steal and he would definitely never trash and elderly person. He was a member of the Help the Old Folk society, which he created by the way. Alex decided to visit him. Getting her keys to her red BMW convertible, Alex headed to New York University.
The campus was large. Alex wondered if she should go to university or continue skating, but skating won over the university desire. Parking in an empty space by the admissions office, she went up to the information desk.
"Welcome to NYU, how may I help you?" a familiar voice asked. It was Amanda.
"Oh hi Amanda."
"Alex? Hey. What are you doing here?"
"I'm looking for Justin. Do you know where he might be?"
"As a matter of fact I do. He's with Sophie right now in her dorm."
"Sophie. Can you tell me where it is?"
"Sure, it's building C room 213 on the second floor."
"Thanks."
"No problem, good luck."
It wasn't hard to find the room, but it took a while to get there. Everyone she met on the way, stopped to talk to her. They were "so honored" to have the Miracle Skater on their campus and they couldn't wait to tell their families. When she got to the room, she heard giggling and felt like she wanted to cry. Taking a deep breath she was getting ready to knock when a little girl interrupted.
"Hi Alex." Alex swirled around to look at the girl. She was surprised that there was someone so young in college.
"Hi. Do I know you?"
"No, but I know you. You're Justin's sister."
"Right. You know him?"
"Not directly, but yes." Alex looked confused. "I'm Tina, a guardian angel in training and I've been trying to look for things to do to earn my wings."
"I see. But why are you hanging around here?"
"Because your brother has been causing trouble and I was about to go notify the guardian angels."
"Is that so?" Alex asked and almost feeling a light bulb going off in her head. "Can I come with?"
"Really? You'll come with me?"
"Sure."
"Great, this way."
The place was definitely not in the area Alex would have thought it would be but, it was easy to find. Inside was bright and filled with angels.
"Hello, welcome to the Guardian Angel headquarters, how may we help you?" and older angel asked.
"I wanted to find out about my brother,.."
"Justin."
"Yes."
"Well he has been causing quite a lot of trouble lately. We sent out his guardian angel, so don't worry too much."
"Huh. Ok, thanks." Alex didn't seem too convinced about the not worry too much part. She decided to head back to see Justin.
As she reached the dorm, a small voice gasped.
"OH NO!" Alex looked over and saw Tina.
"What are you doing here?"
"Helping."
"So what's wrong?"
"That girl," she said pointing to Sophie.
"Yeah, that's Justin's girlfriend."
"She's a dark angel."
"A WHAT?" So this is why he was acting worse than before. He was turning genuinely bad because of her.
"Justin!" The couple stopped as they were turning away from the door.
"Alex? What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to talk to you."
"Again? The last time we talked, it didn't end so happy."
"What do you care about happy? You're the one dating a dark angel."
"So?"
"So you know?"
"I don't care who she is, she's my girlfriend and I love her." Love. Inside Justin cringed. He loved Alex and it made him sick. Alex felt a ping in her heart. Of course, to him she was his sister. He didn't know the truth. He would probably hate her if he did.
"Is there anything else you want?"
"Uh….yes. Here" She handed him an envelope she remembered she had. "It's two tickets to the nationals. I hope you'll come and watch me live."
"Thanks. I'll see if my schedule allows it." Turning around he left.
The day of the nationals came around. Alex was more than ready. Her family was here and she saw Justin with Rosie coming in. She looked over to the bleachers and frowned. Justin had just made a pregnant woman get up out of her seat and sat there instead.
"Oh Justin, why won't you understand?"
"Alex!" she looked up and saw Max waving at her with an enormous foam finger. He was hilarious. She waved him over.
"Hey good luck out there."
"Thanks Max, hey do me a favor."
"Anything."
"Can you tell Justin to meet me at the water fountain right now?"
"Sure thing."
"Thanks."
She told Elenita she'll be in a moment. She wasn't sure if he would show up or not, but he did.
"What do you want Alex?"
"Justin, please listen to me. Your relationship with Rosie isn't good. You're becoming less and less yourself."
"I'm fine."
"Fine? You call that fine? Mom told me about you last two stunts with stealing and trashing the elderly. And just now, I saw you make that pregnant woman get up just so you could sit down. What happened? Where did the Justin I know go? You used to be all about doing good and what now?"
"Nothing is wrong with me now. I like the way things are for me."
"Please Justin, wake up. This isn't going to lead to anything good."
"Is there a problem?" It was Sophie not a moment too soon.
"No, I was just leaving." Alex said glancing at Justin on last time.
It was her turn now. She stepped onto the ice and skated to the middle. Everyone was quite, waiting for what she had prepared this time. She positioned herself and waited for the music to start.
Oooooooooooh
Oooooooooooh
Can you feel me
When I think about you
With every breath I take
Every minute
No matter what I do
My world is an empty place
Alex loved the feel of the ice under her skates. This time, they convinced the judges to add a physical effect of wind. When she skated it felt like she was outside. It was perfect.
Like I've been wondering the desert
For a thousand days ( ohhoh )
Don't know if it's a mirage
But I always see your face, baby
She glanced up to the crowd and saw how happy her family was. Max was somewhere in his own little world.
I'm missing you so much
Can't help it, I'm in love
A day without you is like a year without rain
I need you by my side
Don't know how I'll survive
A day without you is like a year without rain
Ohhohoh, Woooaaahh woaahh
She glanced over to where Justin and Sophie were sitting. Sophie looked really bored. Justin was watching and trying to get Sophie to watch.
he stars are burning
I hear your voice in my mind ( my mind )
Can't you hear me calling
My heart is yearning
Like the ocean that's running dry
Catch me I'm falling
It's like the ground is crumbling underneath my feet
Won't you save me
There's gonna be a monsoon
When you get back to me
Ohhhh baby
The crowd cheered as she made her moves and landed perfectly. She felt confident. Not only because the song that was playing was the one she wrote and sang herself but because everyone she loved was there.
I'm missing you so much
Can't help it, I'm in love (love)
A day without you is like a year without rain
I need you by my side (side)
Don't know how I'll survive
A day without you is like a year without rain
Ohhohoh, Woooaaahh woaahh
She paused in front of Justin where the music paused, and glanced up at him. She how that Sophie was telling him something he didn't really like. The music started again and she skated on.
So let this drought come to an end
And may this desert flower again
And I need you here
I can't explain
But a day without you
Is like a year without rain
Ohhohoh
She glanced over again. She hoped he would get the message. He knew her voice. They tried making a band together once. But what she saw was disappointing. They were getting out of their seats and heading toward the exit. No, he couldn't leave.
I'm missing you so much (much)
Can't help it, I'm in love
A day without you is like a year without rain
I need you by my side (side)
Don't know how I'll survive
A day without you is like a year without rain
Ohhohoh, Woooaaahh woaahh
She was doing her spin, and from the corner of her eye she saw them walking through the door. It all happened simultaneously. As she was landing, the door closed after them. Instead of landing perfectly, her ankle gave out and Alex fell to the ice. Her head hit hard. The movement of her body earlier was sending her across the ice toward the wall. Her head hit again.
Ooohh, Ooooooooouuhh
Ooohh, Ooooooooouuhh
She didn't hear anything. She vaguely saw people rushing towards her on the ice, and then it was all black.
