"Mitchie? What are you doing here?" Alex said as she looked around, making sure Miley wasn't insight.
Mitchie pushed past Alex knowing she wouldn't approve of her plan. Mitchie walked through the house to the loungeroom where she found Alex's parents.
"Hello Mitchie, I haven't seen you around in a few days. How are you?" Theresa said.
"Not so good Theresa, Alex and I need to talk to the both of you." Mitchie declared.
"We do?" Alex said as she came and stood next to Mitchie with her arms crossed.
"Okay girls, have a seat." Jerry said politely.
"Can I have a word with you out in the hall Mitchie?" Alex asked angrily, she had a feeling that she knew where this was going. Mitchie didn't say anything, she just went out into the hall as instructed.
"What are you doing?" Alex asked angrily.
"Something I should have done a long time ago." Mitchie said as she walked back into the loungeroom leaving Alex speechless.
"So what's up Mitchie?" Theresa asked, eager to know what this was about.
"Miley, Alex's girlfriend, has been hitting Alex. All those bruises and split lips, curtesy of Miley. And Miley threatened to kill me if Alex didn't stop talking to me, and I'm sorry I was apart of keeping it a secret, but I'm telling you now because I'm not going to let her hurt Alex anymore...and one more thing, I am inlove with your daughter." Mitchie said all in one breath, she wasn't sure how she didn't pass out. The look on Theresa and Jerry's faces weren't exactly clear on what they reflected. Jerry looked mad, really mad. Theresa looked like she was still processing everything, and as Mitchie looked over to Alex, her expression was unreadable too. The silence in the room was deafening.
"You love me?" Alex said bewildered as she walked over to Mitchie and uncrossed her arms before interwining her hand with Mitchie's.
"Yes I do, and I hate myself for not coming clean to your parents sooner." Mitchie replied before turning her attention back to Alex' still silent parents.
"Why didn't you tell us you were being hurt? Why didn't I figure it out?" Jerry finally spoke sadly.
"Because I was afriad that would you wouldn't believe me, or worse, reject me because it's a girl I'm with and not a boy." Alex admitted, not taking her eyes off the floor. Theresa began to cry.
"This is not how we raised you Alex." Theresa finally spoke. Alex snapped up her head wide eyed and went to spoke, but was silenced by her mother.
"We raised you to respect yourself meaning not take any crap from anyone, given that you definitely took it to a whole level of your own, but none the less. Baby, you should have come to us. We don't care if you are gay, straight, bisexual or rainbow coloured...we love you." Theresa continued and she stood up and hugged her teary daughter.
"I couldn't have said it any better myself." Jerry chimed in as he stood up and joined in the hug.
Mitchie stood aside to let the family have their moment.
"Get over here Torres. You are family too." Jerry announced, to which Mitchie smiled and happily complied.
"Thank you." Alex mouthed to Mitchie. Mitchie smiled in returned just as Theresa spoke up.
"So what are we going to do about this Miley business." Theresa said.
"I'm going to to break her neck, that's what." Jerry said, getting angry again. Alex looked up shocked, her father was such a gentle man, he didn't have a violent bone in his body and it was odd to hear him say that. She smiled at the love she felt right now.
"I have an idea..." Mitchie said and with a sly smirk on her face, a brilliant idea brewing in her head.
Miley approached Alex's house angry, angry that Alex left school without HER permission, and ontop of that she had heard that Alex did speak to Mitchie today, and now she was not impressed. She checked to make sure Alex's parents weren't home, and knocked on the door...waiting very impatiently.
"Hi Miley." Alex said with an unusual calm about her, usually Miley's presence had the opposite effect on her.
"Let me in, now." Miley demanded, ignoring the fact that Alex was not afriad...yet. Alex complied and opened to door to let Miley in. The sound of a hard slap sounded through the room as Miley backhanded Alex. Miley didn't wait a single second before grabbing Alex's throat again, and slamming her against the nearest wall for the second time today. Before Miley could open her mouth to begin her torturous rampage on Alex, she felt a hard tug on her hair and felt herself been dragged backwards. She turned around and saw Mitchie. She about to raise her hand when Alex backhanded her hard, and grabbed her throat. It Miley's turn to be slammed against the wall. Miley was distracted as she saw Alex's parents enter the room and stand by Alex's sides. Miley felt something at the pit of her stomach. Fear? Dread? Terror? Mitchie saw this flicker in Miley's eyes, and smirked.
"How does it feel to be afraid Miley?" Mitchie whispered in Miley's ear as she tightened the grip on Miley's throat. Miley stayed quiet, too afraid to say anything. She looked over to Alex and her parents.
"You can't hurt me Miley, and I will NEVER stay away from Alex. But you will. Let me make myself perfectly clear, you will not look at Alex, you will not talk to Alex, you will not touch Alex, you will not make her feel threatened, you will not so much as breathe in her direction again...do you understand? Because if you do, and I find out, I will find you...and I will rip your head off bitch." Mitchie yelled in Miley's face. Mitchie didn't loosen her grip on Miley's throat as Jerry and Theresa approached her.
"And if we find out you have done any of those things to our daughter ever again, we will do so much worse." Theresa spoke up, venom and hatred dripping off everyword. Finally Alex approached and looked Miley dead in the eyes.
"I'm not afraid of you anymore." Alex said before spitting in Miley's face. Miley closed her eyes disgusted and nodded vigorously to gesture that she had received the message.
"Now get off out property, before we call the police." Jerry yelled as Mitchie let go of Miley's throat and escorted her to door. Miley took off as soon as Mitchie let go of her and Alex smiled, a sense of relief washing over her. As if the world had just been lifted off her shoulders.
"Spitting Alex, really? That wasn't very lady like." Theresa scolded playfully. Jerry, Alex and Mitchie giggled before Alex replied.
"Well...I was making my point." Alex said with a nod. Alex turned to Mitchie and wrapped her arms around her neck tightly, embracing her in a hug.
"Thank you." Alex whispered in Mitchie's ear. Mitchie smiled before whispering back,
"You are welcome my sexy Lexi!" Alex giggled at her nickname and let go of Mitchie turning to her parents.
"Thank you guys, and I'm sorry for not telling you the truth earlier." Alex said sincerely as she walked over and hugged her parents.
"You are welcome baby, anything for you. We love you." Theresa said as she hugged her daughter.
"Yes we do," Jerry agreed. "But now, we have to go and retrieve our cars from down the block." Her continued as she took Theresa's hand in hers. Theresa nodded and kissed Alex's forehead.
"We'll be back in a few minutes." Theresa said before walking out the door with her husband. Alex turned to look at Mitchie, a smile playing on her lips.
"So you love me, huh?" Alex teased as she approached Mitchie. Mitchie blushed but her confidence didn't appear to budge.
"Yes, I do. I love you Alex Russo." Mitchie said with a smile as Alex moved infront of her. Alex cupped Mitchie's face and leant in closer.
"I love you too." Alex whispered before closing the gap between her and Mitchie's lips.
