Chapter 4:
Cole's POV

I don't know why I told her that I think she cuts. Yes, I had suspicions, but I wasn't planning on telling her best friend. I really do love her and it hurts to know that she can't talk to me about it. But, just because she wouldn't tell me about it, I shouldn't have told Kenz about it.

I don't know what I'd do without my little Lexy. Well, since I told Kenzie, I better finish up this conversation. "I'll talk to her tomorrow morning about it, Kenz. Alright?" She doesn't answer me, just keeps on staring blankly at the wall. "Kenz?" I wave my hand in front of her face, "Kenzie?"

"Oh. Sorry. I was thinking about things..." Kenz replies after a minute of me trying to get her attention.

I love Lex so much and it kills me to know what she's doing without knowing what she's going through. "I'll talk to her tomorrow about this. Okay Kenz?"

She doesn't reply right away, just nods and stands. "Why don't you ask her about why she decided to sleep in the guest room?" Oh... That's where she is.

"M'kay," I tell her before she leaves because that's pretty much all I can get out at the moment.

I decide that I still have some time to sleep, so I lay down and try to get some sleep.

After trying, but failing, for an hour, I get up and go to the guest room to see Lexy. I look at her beautiful structure, the one she learned to hate, considering that a lot of people said a lot of bad things to her. Good thing that she didn't give me names or else I'd be sent to death row or life in prison for killing everyone who did that to her. I sit down next to her on the bed and decide to tell her some things, even though she probably won't hear it. "I love you, Lexy, so much. Kenzie told me that you didn't tell her something when you made her promise not to tell Jack or even me. What was it Lex? What were you gonna tell her?" I wish she was awake right now, so then she'll answer. Maybe not truthfully, but she'll answer.

She answered but it was mumbled. So I guess she's half asleep and she doesn't really have a filter on her right now. "What was that Lexy?" I ask, seeing if she'll answer again.

"I... I was gonna tell her that I..." She moans the last word or few words, and falls into a deeper sleep where she won't answer anymore.

Since I feel like I'm gonna fall asleep, I carry her into our room and lay her down on the bed, under the covers. I watch her trying to cuddle with me, assuming that I'm on the bed already. I chuckle slightly and go over to my side of the bed and let Alexis tug onto my shirt in an attempt to pull me closer. I oblige and put my arms around her. "I love you Alexis Lynne," I say before falling into darkness. No dream, just darkness.

I awaken to hearing rustling and not feeling Lexy near me. "Lex?" I call out, still too tired to open my eyes just yet.

"Right here Cole," she replies, sliding back under the covers.

I know she sounds happy, but I have to ask her about what she was gonna tell Kenz. 'No, you can wait until later, she's happy right now... Don't ruin it for her,' my subconscious tells me. I sigh, guess it'll have to wait a bit. "So whatcha planning on doing today?" I ask, absentmindedly playing with her hair.

She ponders over this question for a minute or two then replies with, "Probably gonna try to go back to sleep or just be lazy today." She pauses for a second, then adds, "What 'bout you?"

"I'd actually like to be productive today. But I don't know what I'll do just yet. But at 1:30 I have to take you to the hospital to get an X-ray and you might get your cast off today!" I open my eyes and notice it's still really early; 4:47am. Damn, it's early. I also notice that Lexy shut her eyes and is smiling about my comment. "We should get some more rest," I inform Lex and all I hear is a faint 'mhm' until I hear her even breaths. Hearing her sleeping helps me get washed into a dream.

My father is in the same room as I am. Same age as I am now. But it's an unfamiliar room. He left a while ago and is assumingly dead. The only reason I refuse to think he's dead is because I didn't go to his funeral. I may have been only five at the time, but I knew that there's usually a funeral. I can't make out what we're saying, but, eventually, we end up standing up and shouting in each others faces.

Next thing I know, Lexy tries to get me to leave by tugging on me. Eventually, I give in and just let her take me out of this light yellow house that we were just in.

*Ring! Ring! Ring!* My phone says 'get up and get ready for Lexy's Dr's appointment'. Meanwhile, I say fuck you to my phone and put my head back onto the pillow, but realize that I must actually get up. Ugh.

"Cole. Get up or I'll hit you with my cast until you get up," Alexis yells as she throws a pillow. She may have only one fully usable arm, but damn does she have good aim.

I lift my head up and get used to the surroundings, since I just opened my eyes. Why do I have to get up? Can't a person get all the sleep that they need? Nope, okay. "I'm up, Lex, calm your ass," I moan.

She grabs her butt and says, "My ass is calm." She says it with such a straight face. We both try and act like this is an everyday occurrence, but we end up laughing to where we can barely breathe.

An hour later, we're on our way to the hospital to get some x-rays. I wait for a while with Lexy until she gets her results. "How long does it take to check the x-rays and get a simple result?" Alexis complains.

Literally as she says this, the doctor calls for her.

Alexis goes back for a second and comes out two minutes later with a huge grin on her face. "No more cast?" I stand.

"Nope!" Alexis yells as happily as physically possible without disturbing others here. "I'm so happy!"

Checking out, I get a strange feeling that something bad will happen, but it's gone as soon as it came. Trying to figure out what'll happen, it goes away and I'm slightly upset that I couldn't have found out more, but I just forget about it.
