Chicago's Furious

Problems

Alexa's POV
I turn and see Dom and Mia

Alexa: Guys? What are you doing here?

I run and hug them. But none of them hugs me back.

Mia : Where have you been Alexa?

Alexa:I'm sorry. I wanted to call you but I lost my phone and I forgot your numbers.

Dom: You forgot our numbers?

Alexa:Well you know me...

I say a bit nervous.

Mia:You said you came here because your mom is sick?

Alexa: Yeah, she was... She had cancer. She... Didn't make it.

Mia: When did she die?

Alexa: Um.... A few weeks ago?

Dom: And why didn't you come back during that time?

Alexa: Um... I... I don't know...

I lower my head, not knowing what to say.

Dom: We are leaving tommorow morning for LA. It's your choice whether you come or not.

Then, they turn around to leave.

Alexa: Guys wait...

They don't stop. But then Dom turns around, walks towards me and grabs the cross necklace, taking it off of me.

Dom:A motive.

Then he gets in his car and leaves.

I stand there. With my hand on my neck. I lower my head and let a few tears fall. Matt comes and stands next to me but I ignore him and walk back into the station.

I sit on a bed, thinking of what just happened. My life is falling apart.

Then Gabby walks in, interrupting my thoughts.

Gabby: Hey... You ok?

I nod.

Gabby: I don't know what you're going through but you can tell me if you want.

I nod.

Gabby: So tell me... Is everything OK?

I move my head no as tears fall. She sits beside me and hugs me.

Alexa: I have to leave... I have to go back to LA. I hurt them. That's not me. I never hurt my family.

Gabby: No, you can't leave. You'll get in trouble. And after what happened here, the cops will suspect you with the excuse that you did everything on purpose. You might end up in jail.

Alexa: Gabby, you don't get it. I have to go. If I don't, then I'll be in more trouble.

Gabby: Fine, do whatever you want.

I nod

*******************

I wake up next day and grab my stuff. I packed everything yesterday so I would be ready today. I grab my duffel bag and my back pack and walk to the exit. I open the door.

Matt: You were gonna leave without saying goodbye?

I turn around to face Matt.

Alexa: Sorry, I'm in a hurry.

I hug him and walk again towards the exit.

Matt: Want me to drop you off at the airport?

Alexa: No it's OK. I'll take a cab.

He nods.

Alexa: Say hi to everyone from me.

Matt: I will.
