you saw as alex went from person to person asking questions about mac or her comforting others.
it angered you, not because she was being nice no.
because it was her brother that had passed, everyone else you included knew gabe, but nothing compares to being blood.
you had not seen one person check up on her, hearing i'm sorry for your losses and he was great person all things true, but not one thing asking how she was or how she felt.
you saw the tight-lipped smiles she'd give everyone trying to be strong, but for how long?
how long could she keep putting this façade on for?
she was hurting. she had only just gotten him back and lost him as quickly as she found him.
you couldn't imagine how she was feeling.
this was so unimaginably unfair on her.
you decided you were going to do something to make up for other people's behaviours.
you found her walking away from the new haven bridge alone. caught her just in time.
"hi alex! can i quickly show you something?" as she nodded you grasped her hand in yours and strung her along to the secret location.
you knew you'd made the right decision about bringing her here, alex's face lighting up at the array of beautifully coloured flowers before her. a whole field of them just sitting there swaying in the breeze.
"what is all this for?" she asked walking closing smelling a light pink tulip.
"a distraction." looking over confused, you just shrugged before sitting on the pastel blanket you had laid out previously.
"you deserve the best. as soon as you got here something bad happened, first, was mac barging in on you fighting gabe, then having to rescue ethan. most horrible of all you lost gabe the same day you got here." her eyes just wandered over the field not letting her emotions get the best of her.
"you don't deserve anything but the best so i thought you deserve a break for a bit and since this is normally where i go when im overwhelmed i thought this might also help you too?"
you could tell she was appreciative for what you had done even without saying anything. this led to the both of you getting away from reality for a couple of hours talking about everything and nothing. making flower crowns from already broken flowers, laughing your asses off trying to guess what shape the fluffy clouds were forming into.
time was getting on and it started getting dark so you two walked back to the black tavern, stopping in front of the building, her turning to you smiling shyly.
"thank you. i really needed this. it felt nice not to be so in my head for at least a little while." alex wrapped you up in her arms, melting into hers. the hug lasting a little too long, but you certainly weren't complaining.
