Alexandra's POV

   "So she just called you randomly and said she needed to come clean?" I frowned as we stepped into the elevator.
   "Yeah...I don't know what it's about." He sighed, squeezing my hand and leaning against the wall.
   "I'm sure it's nothing." I smiled gently, leaning against him and rubbing his chest. John sighed heavily and wrapped his arms around me, relaxing into me. The doors opened and we stepped into the apartment. John tossed his stuff on the couch and plopped down. I slid into his lap and wrapped my arms around his neck. "I'll be right here, baby." I cooed, John nodded and opened his laptop. I slid off frame and John started a FaceTime call. Martha's face popped up and he sighed.
   "Hey."
   "Hi, you look well."
   "Yeah." He mumbled. "So do you."
   "How are you and Alexis?"
   "We're good. What did you want to talk about?"
   "Um-...Is Alexis there?"
   "Yeah, she's right here." John motioned for me to come closer and I scooted into frame.
   "Hey- Oh my gosh! You look so pretty!" Martha gasped, getting closer to the screen. I flushed and Martha clapped a hand over her mouth. "Oh, please tell me you didn't do that because of what I said! I didn't mean it! I'm so sorry!"
   "No-um-...I wanted to do it." I smiled.
   "Oh, thank god." She sighed with relief and smiled. "It looks nice."
   "Thank you." I smiled.
   "What did you want to talk about?" John asked again.
   "Oh, right. How much time do you have?" John glanced at me and I smiled.
   "I have to be home before dinner."
   "Plenty." Martha and John explained that they've been friends since they met in eighth grade and they're fathers had been friends in high school. They explained that they started developing crushes on each other and started dating their senior year of high school. "What does this have to do with anything?" John asked.
   "Well...Henry started suspecting you were gay-"
   "Bisexual." John corrected quickly, I rubbed his arm and he shifted.
   "-and approached my dad. He asked him if there was anything I could do to keep you from...leaning towards men. My father agreed and-" She huffed and rubbed her shoulder, tears starting to brim in her deep brown eyes. "Dad said he'd kick me out and wouldn't fund my college if I didn't do it! I'm sorry! I really did love you, John!"
   "What!" John barked, my jaw dropped and I sat forward.
   "Wait, so all the manipulation was-"
   "Not my idea! I never wanted to! I wasn't looking through your phone because I thought you were talking to other girls! He made me do it! I'm so sorry, John!" She cried, John stared silently and I bit my lip.
   "Martha...All that stuff you said in the kitchen that day-"
   "God, I'm sorry, Alexis. I never meant any of it. I was afraid he'd leave me for you and I'd fail. I mean...Why wouldn't he, right? You're gorgeous and funny and you two share a lot of interests. Our relationship was just toxic." She sniffed.
   "Why are you telling me this now?" John growled. "You should've told me!"
   "I know...I-"
   "Why are you telling me this now!"
   "Because I'm-..."
   "What?"
   "I'm leaving." She sniffed.
   "What!"
   "Father is sending me to school in-...in London." John fell silent and I took his hand in mine.
   "You're leaving?"
   "Yeah..." She mumbled.
   "When?"
   "Tonight..."
   "What? Why?"
   "Punishment. I'm so sorry, John. I never wanted to hurt you but-"
   "Your future was at stake." He finished with a sigh.
   "Yeah..." She sighed. "I have to go. I just wanted to tell you before-...Before I left." She sniffed, wiping her eyes again and fixing her hair.
   "Ok...Bye." John mumbled, moving to end the call.
   "Hey, wait!" John paused and Martha bit her lip.
   "Um-...Alexis?"
   "Yeah?"
   "Take care of him for me?" She smiled, tears still spilling out of her eyes. "He really seems to love you."
   "Yeah...I will." I smiled.
   "Promise you'll keep in contact?" John asked quietly.
   "I'll try." She smiled. "Um-...I really did love you, John."
   "So did I." They said their goodbyes and the call ended.
   "John?" I asked quietly, he didn't say anything. "Baby?" He stood up and pulled his phone out. He pressed his phone to his ear and paced around the coffee table as the phone rang. John froze and bit his lip. I heard faint speaking and John started to turn red.
   "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" He bellowed, making me jump and move towards him. I wrapped my arms around him as tears started to fall and held him tightly. I heard someone else on the line but I didn't ask who it was. I knew who it was. "I WAS HAPPY! I LOVED HER! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" He hung up and threw his phone across the room angrily. He wrapped his arms around me and leaned against me. We sank to the floor and held him tightly as he cried. What he had said hurt me a little bit but I couldn't let that get in the way at the moment. John needed me and he's always been there for me...It's my turn now.
   After about ten minutes, he calmed down and tried to wipe his eyes. "Alexis?"
   "Yeah?"
   "I-...I am so sorry." He sniffed, starting to cry again.
   "Why?" I frowned.
   "Because-...I love you...Ok? I love you and Martha-...What I said-"
   "Don't worry about it." I smiled, John looked up at me in disbelief and I brushed his hair out of his face. "You just found out that your dad ruined a perfectly good relationship. I'd be upset too." I shrugged, John cupped my cheeks and gasped for breath.
   "I'm so sorry." He mumbled.
   "Do you still love her?" I asked quietly, tears tugging at my eyes. John bit his lip and I felt tears slipping down my cheeks.
   "Yes." He mumbled, I felt my lip quivering and I looked away. "Alexis-...Alexis, wait. I love you. I want to be with you. I love you. I promise. I-"
   "But Martha-..."
   "I've known her forever, Lexis. Of course I love her. Just...not like that anymore. I love you, Alexis. You're beautiful, smart, funny...You're everything I could ever want in a girl."
   "Not everything." I mumbled.
   "Alexandra Hamilton, I am in love with you. You are everything to me and I have no idea what I'd do without you, baby girl." He pulled me into a kiss and I fell into his arms. We sat in silence and just cried, holding each other. At some point John picked me up and took me upstairs. We got ready for bed and I just slept in John's t-shirt and my underwear. John laid us down and we didn't say anything, we just fell asleep.
