Life changes.

Fix it

She looks down as I rub circles on her hand. "Then we need to fix that." She looks up at me as I get up and walk to my desk. I lean against it and run a finger through my hair as I try to come up with a way to fix all of this.

I look over at Ally and sigh, "You know this has gone too far right?" She shakes her head and I sigh, "Well it has. That is the first thing. You are stopping all of this." She starts to stand up and I shake my head, "We are not negotiating this Ally, You are stopping it." She leans back against the wall with a thud and a sigh. I look down and then back at her, "You are going to have to try to fix this with Aubrey." She shrugs and I throw another of my mini balls. "Ally, if you are not going to try then why should I even help? I am not going to go through all this for you to back out at the last second." She sighs and nods, "Fine." I shake my head and move towards the bed. I grab her shoulders and make her look at me, "Tell me right now. Do you honestly wish you never had the kids? Do you honestly regret them?" She looks at me and slowly shakes her head, "No." I nod and let her go, "Do you want nothing to do with them?" She shakes her head lightly, "No." I nod, "Then you have to fix this with Aubrey. I know her and god help her she has your need to always be right and Austin's attitude. She will be mad and upset but you are her mother and you will be there for her and try to fix the relationship between you two that you broke." She nods slowly as I move back to my desk.

I lean against it again and look at her, "You and Austin need to figure out what to do between the two of you." She shakes her head and I sigh, "Ally, quit trying to fight. I am not saying you two have to go back to how everything was before. Hell I'm not saying you two even have to be together. What I am saying is you two need to figure which path is the best for the kids." She looks up at me and I sigh, "You know I love you Ally but the kids are the most important thing in this. You two can't just fight and decide that is it, you both have two kids that need to be thought about and figured into the whole equation." She nods slowly as she looks at the bed.

I walk back over to the chair and stare at her, "As for the stopping drinking and partying." I grab an envelope that is under my bed and hand it to her. She looks at me and I nod my head for her to open it up. She opens it and sees a letter from Austin to me. She reads it then lays it next to her, "He thinks it would be better if I left him with the kids." I nod, "He thinks you are damaging yourself and he doesn't want that around the kids. I can't blame him Ally. You have been bad, it has been bad." She sighs and throws her head against the wall.

I watch her for a second, "Ally?" She shakes her head as she stares up at the ceiling, "How did everything end up so fucked up?" I shrug, "I don't know. You are the one with the answers."  She sighs and looks back at me. "Do you want to talk about it?" She shrugs, "Not really." I look at her and sigh, "I don't know what more I can do Ally. I can be here for support; I can help you through everything. I can help you figure out what to do but I can't make everything better. I can't fix what has been done. I can't fix what is broken. I can't fix what is going on. All I can do is be here for you." She nods as she leans her head against the wall.

It is quiet as she leans against the wall with her head staring up at the ceiling. I lean the back of my chair back and watch her.  She finally looks at me and laughs, "I really screwed shit up, didn't I?" She starts laughing uncontrollably as I watch her.

After laughing for a while she lays down across my bed and closes her eyes. I get up and walk over to her and pull the blanket up over her and kiss her forehead, "Sleep tight. We will fix all of this. I will help fix this for you."

I wake up see Ally starting to move. I get off the floor and look at her on the bed. She opens her eyes and I watch as they widen before she grabs the clean trashcan and gets sick in it. I grab her hair and hold it back as I rub small circles along her back.  She pushes the trashcan away and leans back against the pillows. She stares at me and rubs her eyes. "It wasn't a dream?" I slowly shake my head. She puts her head in her hands. She shakes her head in her hand before looking up at me, "I really did all of that." I nod and she looks at the wall as she bites her lip, "Fuck, Alex what am I going to do?" I smile slightly and lean against the wall of my bed. "We talked this through last night." She nods and looks at me, "I remember some of that, but Alex I don't think..." I smile and kiss her cheek, "I will fix this. I will help you." I stand up fix my shirt. "You need a shower before we do anything. You have puke in your hair and everything." She looks down at herself and sighs, "I bet I look as bad as I feel." I smile and grab her hand pulling her up. I hand her an extra towel I have and my caddy, "Go shower." She laughs and heads out my room and towards the showers.

I grab a t-shirt and a pair of jeans my sister left here when she visited.  I set them on the bed before grabbing a t-shirt and pair of jeans for myself. I grab my towel and an extra set of shampoo and body wash before heading to the showers myself.

I shower quickly before drying off and putting my clothes on. I run the towel through my hair and decide to fix it when I get back to my dorm. I grab everything and head back to my room. I knock on the door and then open it slightly and see Ally brushing her hair. I walk in and lay my stuff on my dresser. I watch her brush her hair out and cringe as she keeps hitting knots. I sigh and walk over, "Want some help?" She looks up at me and I smile, "I learned how to work out the knots without it hurting thanks to Katy." She smiles and hands me the brush.

I sit down on my bed behind her and slowly start to brush her hair. She leans her head back so I can reach it better. A few minutes later her hair is knot free. I run the brush through her hair one more time. I pat her back once, "All done." She reaches up and starts to run her hand through her hair and smiling. "I can't remember when my hair was this soft or this knot free." I smile and get off the bed before running the brush through my hair and grabbing some gel to try to contain the mess of my hair. I grab my toothbrush and start to brush my teeth. I walk over to the garbage can and spit before grabbing the can. "I am going to go clean this again." I walk out the door and back to the bathroom.

With a clean garbage can again I walk back to my room. I open the door and place the can next to my desk. I watch Ally put her heels on. She stands up and shakes her head, "Why in the world would I wear these all the time? They fucking hurt." I laugh and shake my head, "I don't know. You wore heels like that for the last few months." She shrugs before grabbing her purse that somehow ended up in my room. I grab my phone, key and wallet. We walk out and I lock the door. I start to walk next to her.

We walk down the steps and I grab her hand and pull her to my jeep. I help her get in before closing the door and walking around the car. I start the jeep up before pulling out and heading to her house. We have to set everything straight and get to the root of all of this so we can fix it.
