LEXI'S P.O.V.

"So, who has a valentine?"

I teased, leaning my head in front while resting my chin on my intertwined hands.

"I'm going on a date tonight."
"Ohoo. Who's the lucky girl?"
"Alisha."
"Okay, okayy. Nicee. And you two?"
"Nahh."
"I'm just going out tonight."
"She's definitely hiding a boyfriend."
"That's what I said few days ago."

I agreed with Michael while Josie just shook her head.

"I don't. I just wanna go out."
"Okay, if you say so."
"With who?"
"Ash."
"Oh, okay then."

When they dissappeared in the house, I got ready and told them I'm leaving so they are going to be alone at home.

"Hey love."

"Happy valentine's day pretty boy. I miss you so much."

I broke down in even more tears.

Spending some time on his grave, I still had a feeling of someone's gaze on me, but I just made myself think it's him being around me.

Driving to the company, I was in my thoughts.

How is it even possible that he is alive if they literally found his DNA on that body?

I quickly took a turn, driving to the forensics place where I know the guy who did the biopsy of Jaden's body.

"Hey Clark."
"Hey Lexi. What a pleasure to have you here."

I chuckled, sitting on the chair in front of him.

"So, I'll be straight forward. I need to see Jaden's body. The pictures you have."
"Lexi, I don't really think that that is smart."
"Why?"
"I know you might feel like you're healed and ready for that, but you are not. Especially as his wife."
"Clark, please. I need to see."

He sighed, getting up and going to the metal drawers.

It took him fiftheen minutes to find his papers.

"Come here."

I pulled my chair, so I was sitting next to him.

He opened it, finding the pictures.

He slowly put it in front of me, while my body started shaking.

Tears filled my eyes, while one of my hands covered my mouth.

He put his hand on my back in comfort.

It took me time to calm down so I could talk to him.

"What did biopsy say?"
"A guy that is apparently from your guys' company talked to Bryce and said we don't need to do it. Knowing that Jaden was the only one inside. So when we found his genes we decided not to go any further."
"This is not Jaden. It can't be him."
"Lex, I know it's hard, but it is what it is."
"No. I know it's not him. Where can I find someone so they can open his grave?"
"Lex-"
"Clark. I'm being serious. I know this is not him. I know it. I want to do the fucking biopsy of anything left from 'his' body."
"Okay. If that will make you believe, okay. I'll talk to my guys."
"Okay. Can you do it right now?"
"I'm not sure that I can. It will take few days for everything. Okay?"
"Okay. But you don't necessarily need to talk to anyone else, okay? No Addison, no Bryce, no anyone. Okay?"
"Lex what is happening with you?"
"Clark, just do what I told you. I don't have time for talking. I want that until Sunday. Okay?"
"I'll try my best."

I just left the building after saying bye and thanking him.

That can't fucking be Jaden's body.

I opened the email on my phone.

He can't be six feet under ground if he is on this video. He isn't dead.

LEXI'S P.O.V.

"Josie?"
"Hey mom."

I walked in her room before closing the doors.

"Can we talk for a minute?"
"Yeah, what's up?"
"I've been wanting to talk to you recently. What's up with you and Ashley?"
"Nothing? What do you mean?"

She shifted around bed uncomfortably. Busted.

"Do you like her?"
"What the- What? No. Why would you even ask me that? I don't like her. I mean, yeah as a friend."
"I was jus-"
"Can you just get out of the room? You made me mad now with that question. I wanna be alone."
"Okay. Sorry."

I walked out of the room. Well, that didn't go well. But I'm gonna find out the truth.

My phone started ringing. It's Bryce.

"Hey."
"Lexi what in the hell are you doing?! You fucking told Clark to excavate his body?! Are you out of your fucking mind?! What is happening with you! I know it's hard to believe but it's been five fucking years! Just get over it and let him rest in fucking peace! You are not just making your mental health worse but your kids and everyone around you! Just think the fuck a little! You are acting like a crazy woman! Do you want someone to take away your kids because you are acting crazy?! Calm the fuck down. He's dead. It hurts so bad but it's truth. Think about your kids!"

Bryce yelled at me through the phone. How the fuck he knows about it?

I was so fucking mad right now, but I started crying. Maybe he is right. Maybe I'm just fucking crazy bitch? That at the age of 38 can't get over the fact that her husband is dead?

"Look, I'm sorry for yelling. But everyone started healing and you are doing some crazy fucking shit. You can leave kids with me and Addi while you sort out your mind. You have to think about them. You're not doing bad for yourself but you're gonna ruin your kids too if they hear that too."
"I'm sorry. You're right."
"Look, I'm gonna come over. Kids are gonna stay with here, while you and I sort whatever you want out. Okay?"
"Okay."

He's right. I'm not good mentally. I will ruin my kids. That video must have been some montage.
