Scandal - Secret Daughter 7

She survived and Jerry Died. How was that fair? Since her almost death, she had become a permeant resident at Blair house, during which Fitz was running for re-election and now as publicly his daughter, she was brought on certain stops standing next to Mellie who held onto her hand and supported her subtly when Mellie noticed that from her injuries she silently suffered. However when in Springfield that all changed, Fitz was gonna lose. However another tragedy the death of his son secured him a second term.

Alex threw herself back into work, she transferred to Washington, she worked the cases. At the end of each day she returned through the back door of the Blair House, till she found a apartment of her own. She worked her pain away, of a brother that she got to know for a second time. The trauma of losing her brother jarred something and unlocked everything that she forgot which made everything worse. The phone calls she would get from him about random sibling things. He accepted her and was happy to have someone who was older than him that he could relate to.

It turned into months, everyone was effected by Jery's death, because of his death her father was President once more, for another four years. Olivia had taken Jake somewhere, Mellie was a wreck, Fitz threw himself into work like she had, Karen once the straight A student called her either high, or drunk or both.

"You never could deal with bad news well." Alex looked up to see her surrogate father.

"What do you want Eli?" she sighed glancing back down through her microscope

"I'm here to ask you what you want, that is why am here." he answered "Your conviction rate is down, your back at work but not in the game. You are crippled by your grief, so how do i get you back? how does the world get you back?"

"Leave me alone, I'm done with you." she rolled her chair and looked at the results on her computer.

"You are never done with family."

"Oh, we're family now? Where was that family love when you had someone shoot five bullets in me? I'm not family I am a pet that you think is family. I am the loyal lapdog that did as you asked without question, without fault. Not anymore I'm out. And before you say no one gets an out, I do, I do because you never wanted me in, in the first place." She turned to him

"He's back." Eli told her "They returned both of them. Much to my annoyance."

"Leave me alone. Please, just let me be." she pleaded with him. he paused for a moment but nodded, ultimately turning away and leaving her alone. Later on she clocked out for the day and went home.

"Miss O'Brien." Abby cleared her throat

"Abby? What are you doing here?" she questioned and Abby let out a little chuckle

"You know out of everyone in the first family you're the only one who actually call me by my actual name." she shook her head "I came here to confirm that you will still be attending the state of the union, with your father and the first lady."

"You came all the way here for that? That's a hell of a walk. Yes, Abby i will be there." Abby relaxed a little. "Abby if anything changes, you will be my go to."

"Thank you..."

"Alexandra, please call me Alexandra, you've helped save my skin a few times you can at least call me by my name."

"Alexandra." she nodded and left.

A couple of months later Alexandra was called into the Oval, where her father was working. He glanced up seeing her and put the papers down.

"Alex, come and sit down. Let's talk about your birthday." he moved to sit on the sofa.

"Dad, no." she denied
