3 months later...

The Sydney's decided to stay after Alex's service. They became like a second family to me. We spent Halloween, Thanksgiving, and was getting ready for our first Christmas.

Gale decided to stick around too, to my dismay but I decided I might as well use him. So I build and opened a official restaurant and night club named "Alexandria".

I would occasionally sing there or have a celebrity artist. Of course Drake, Adam, and Adele would show up when they could afford it. Nikolas was apprehended eventually as well. I made sure of that. With the help of Darrin secretly. Nikolas was to be charged with committing crimes against nature, endangering our society, and for several acts of murder and attemps.

I walked into my dining room of the restaurant. Smiling and getting applauded as I made my way to the stage. I got on the mike. Being here eases the pain I still feel. Especially when I look at all the couples. "First I would like to say happy holidays to those celebrating something." I grinned,

"Um, first off ladies-if there's a good guy you know that's been trying to get with you but you been shutting him down. Give him a chance, he might surprise you. Fellas, if you got a woman that you know you love take this time to show her. Take this time to love someone, because you never know when's the last time you'll get that chance too." I explained,

"It's funny you know. The minute I heard my first love story. I started looking for it, for her. We always get caught up in our make-shift concepts of something. Not knowing how blind and naive that is. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere, at a place. They're in each other all along. The person you will love has always been apart of you and just didn't know it. So with that I would like to give my own gift from my heart to someone special to me, but couldn't make it here tonight."

I signaled for my band to come on as I sat there on the bench by my black and yellow batman themed piano. i ran my hand acrossed the top and faught back my grief. I started off on a soft key and the band followed behind me.

"A dropppp in the ocean...A change in the weather. I was praying that you and me might end up together... It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert. But I'm holding you closer than mo-st, 'cause you are mmy heaven."

I stopped and played on the piano keys, fingers just grazing them. Creating a gentle rhythm. I leaned forward, back to microphone. Thoughts of us Saturday morning came to mind.

"I don't wanna waste the weekend. If you don't love me, pretend. A few more hours then it's time to go. As my train rolls down the east coast I wonder how you keep warm. It's too late to cry. Too broken to move on... And still I can't let you be. Most nights I hardly sleep! Don't take what you don't need from me..." I breathed thinking of how frusterated I got over her and my brother.

"It's just a drop in the ocean! A change in the weather! I was praying that you and me might end up together! It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert! But I'm holding you closer than most...'cause you are my heaven..."

I was finally breaking free, laying my honest feelings to these people and myself. My heart was swelling, it felt like I was finally getting better. I was inching the book that much closer to closing. My head flooded with thoughts of her. Everything just melted away and I just imagined her there with me. She felt so close, in my mind, but I knew she was far away.

"Misplaced trust and old friends. Never counting regrets. By the grace of God I do not rest at all. Romania as the leaves change. The last excuse that I'll claim. I was a boy who loved a women like a little girl. And still I cant let you be! Most nights I hardly sleep! Don't take what you don't need from me!"

I was hitting the higher of notes and pressing harder in the keys. 

"It's just a drop in the ocean. A change in the weather. I was praying that you and me might end up together. It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert! But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my-Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore..No. No. Heaven doesn't seem far away! Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore! No. No. Heaven doesn't seem far away-Oh-Oh!"

"A drop in the ocean! A change in the weather. I was praying that you and me might end up together! It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert! But I'm holding you closer than most....'cause you are my heaven...You are my heaven."

I just played on the keys and faded out the ending. I bowed and exit. Everyone applauded and some even cried quietly. I quickly made my way to the bar. I felt like I was about to fall apart all over again. Reality was back, and she wasn't here. She was never coming back. 

"Something black and on ice. And fast." I stated, "So the Alex Special on the rocks." The barman nodded and began to put it together. I ran my hand through my hair and just focused on breathing. "Love your song." This girl smiled sitting down beside me. She had shoulder length black hair. The lightest blue eyes, they were border line gray. She had a pierced lip and a tattoo on her shoulder, that peaked out from her skimpy blue tang-top. She was obviously sexy, guys were eyeing her hard.

"Thank you. However I don't care to have sex with you." I said looking back to the bar. "Excuse me!" She snapped she acted like she was offended for several seconds. "That's why you came over here isn't?" I shrugged and grabbed my drink.

I was about to blow her off till Gale stopped by, "Excuse me my man, can you fix the lovely lady here a drink." He smiled "Sorry. My cousin just is experiencing heartbreak, so he says stuff he doesn't mean, or that's a little rude." "Gale what are you doing?" I asked irritated now, the girl was grinning like an idiot now and touching my arm. "Oh you poor thing. I bet I can ease your pain."

She started trying rub me seductively but she was so drunk, the gesture was rough and awkward. "I'm Alexis." She slurred, I just pushed her off of me, and almost stormed off but Gale grabbed my arm. "Trey. You need to at least try and date." He advised quietly,

"Get your hand off me Gale." I threatened, "No. You need this. Just talk to her, kiss her-,"

I slid over to her and kissed her on the lips. She tried to deepen the kiss but her teeth kept hitting mine, her tongue felt around my mouth, it was just so dry? Her hands were touching me sloppily, it was just God awful. I pushed her away.

I don't know if I did this for my sake or hers. "Mmm! Call me!" She purred as I walked away. I could not do this anymore. Gale sighed and followed behind me. "What the hell man?" He exasperated looking back at the girl then to me.

"Watch over the club, and lock up. I'm going home." I replied throwing him the keys. Despite how awful the kiss was, it felt good to sort be with someone else. To take my mind off everything. To not be drowning in misery, its like I came up for air-it was pollutated, and it wasn't the best moment. But it was progress.

I will always love Alex. However maybe I can love someone else too. Maybe I can move on to the next chapter in my life. I know that there is air now, that me drowning isn't forever. I stepped up to my door step, when I noticed this Beauty and The Beast DVD, initial with a heart. On top of it was a necklace of a small pink flower that was just beginning to blossom.

My whole world shifted from under me.

Alex...is alive?
