Alexis's POV
I can't go back. I know Dean. When's he's in a mood, it's very hard to get him out of it. But when he has the 'Back off, or I'll punch you on the face' look, you know you should back away.
Back to reality here. I sit in the back of the cab silently crying. Now I have nowhere to go, and I don't
think anyone from high school is in the area. Come on Alexis, you can do this, pull yourself together. I force myself to swallow. Don't think about what just happened, think about your new life and how you're gonna live it.
I think back to my last high school boyfriend. His name was Alejandro. I know I still have his phone number. Should I do it? I really don't have anywhere else to go. I take out my phone and dial his number. I hope he accepts. Let's see if this will work.
On the third ring he picks up. This was our conversation:
Alejandro: "Hello?"
Me: "Alejandro, it's me Alexis."
Alejandro: "What do you want?"
Me: "I think I wanna make this work. Dean and I got into a HUGE fight and... now I have nowhere to go."

Moment of silence.

I might as well leave out that I'm pregnant, who knows what'll happen then... I thought.

Alejandro: "Come on over then. We can find a way to make this work and possibly pick up where we left off."
Me: "Thank you. You have no idea how much this means to me."
Alejandro: "You're welcome... baby."

The phone beeps off and I put it back in my pocket. Goodbye old life, hello new
life.
