The next day
Jamie's eyes fluttered open noticing the empty space next to her. She slowly got up and stretched her legs thinking he probably got up already, it was Wednesday another school day. She groaned and got up. When she managed to regain feeling in her arms she looked at her clock, it said 8:32 in red letters on the side of her bed. Her eyes widened and she practically dove out of the room. When she made it to the kitchen she saw Alec sitting at the table with a cup of coffee, his wounds had healed faster than even he had expected and couldn't be more thankful as he was back to full strength already. When Jamie approached Alec he immediately noticed her.

"Good morning." He said smiling

"We're late for school!" She yelled looking at him in anger

"I can't go to school, and you skip school sometimes. You can miss a day." He reasoned. "I hope you don't mind but I thought I'm staying here I might as well make myself comfortable." He said sipping his coffee afterwards.

"It's fine." She said sitting down too

"Oh, wait I almost forgot to explain what had happened." He said looking at her. At the mention of this Jamie realized she had forgotten entirely about the whole ordeal. And now she was worried all over again. "Okay well first off..." He explained to Jamie as she sat there listening intently to the entire story, and she had to admit she was left speechless as the minutes went by and his coffee got cold. When he had finished he looked at her with worried eyes.

"I-I don't really know what to say." She said looking down. She felt...betrayed, lied to, and somehow used, she couldn't look at him right now. She didn't see Alec the boy she fell in love with she saw a killer."I think you should go." She said getting up and pointing towards the door, she never took her eyes off the floor.

"W-what." He said shocked

"You heard me, just go.." She said quietly, Alec was having a hard time already with him having to hide and stay away from the Wattersons but now even his own girlfriend is asking him to go? He could barely move from his seat but eventually he did and he walked to his shoes which were by the door. He had already washed his shirt and pants and gotten them on early in the morning so all he had to do was get on his shoes.

When he was half way out the door he looked back at her and saw her sobbing silently. He had done this, he had caused her this pain. And at that moment, that exact moment, he realized something. He had been through so much of his own pain and suffering he never stopped to think about the pain he had caused others along the way. Before he left he uttered only one word, even though he knew it would never justify his actions "sorry".

He didn't exactly know where to go. He was entirely sure he would die by the end of the day now. He didn't know what he would do even if he had stayed at Jamie's. They would always be after him, he would never be able to have a normal life. 'Maybe it was for the best' he thought looking down. Then as quickly as he was clue less he knew exactly what he should do, go to the Wattersons and get his stuff back including his money.

He quickly broke into a run with that in mind. He began going through back yards to be less noticeable. He had gone through over fifty backyards when he finally arrived to the Wattersons. Looking into their backyard before jumping out of mr. Robinson's, he saw only more pain. Gumball and Darwin were playing dodge or dare, they had frowns plastered on their faces.

"Roll the dice, pick a card..." Gumball said lazily as tears formed in his eyes once again over the remembrance of the event.

Alec had seen enough and stopped looking at them. 'Maybe if I show myself to them and leave I can save them the heartache..' He thought but he quickly snapped out of it, if he showed himself he risked hurting them more than he already had. 'I guess their going to have to bear through it...' He then sighed and jumped the fence silently. He hugged the side of the house to hide himself from Gumball and Darwin. He looked up to see their window, now he had to figure out how to get up to it. He looked around and saw a drainage pipe, it was plastic and might not hold his weight but it would have to do.

He then jumped on to the pipe and shimmied himself up being careful not to break it and alert the family. When he made it to the top he was too far away from the window to make a silent jump. With that he climbed on the roof and went above the window, he took a firm hold on the ledge and tossed his body off making him fly into the open window. He managed to land on his feet with little difficulty. He was about to look for his things when he saw Anais on the bed, a look of shock on her face.

Jamie
After Alec left she had wondered if he even loved her. 'He probably made it up so he could get close to me and use me when he needed...' She thought sobbing more at the realization of this. She hadn't been entirely truthful either but no one can know what she has hidden for so many years. And who could blame her? She'd been hurt by so many people it was a miracle she wasn't lying face down in a ditch. Maybe she was jumping to conclusions? Maybe he's different? These thoughts were going through her head as well as many others abs she was lightening up every second.

'Maybe I could forgive him...if he explains what he really thinks of me.' but even then she was hesitant when she walked to the door. But after she assured herself that she needed the closure she went out the door hoping to catch Alec down the street. She saw him nowhere in sight, she was too late. 'No! He couldn't be gone already!' As this thought went through her mind she thought of how long she was crying. 'it had only been for a minute, right?' At this she shook her head and ran a couple houses forward and looked around for him. But he was no where, gone, and just like that she was alone once more...
