Can this be true?

A nightmare come true

Alex came back to the trophy room later that night. To stand there and look at the pictures of Jackie, who was made out to be a hero. Alex wished Claire was here, but she knew that her father stopped her. For a reason, only Alex and he knew. Alex also knew that a man Named Peter Petrelli is on his way, and that it may be his last day alive.

She did watch the episode, she knew what was going to happen, but she hoped that it doesn't change. She wanted Peter to survive. She needed to get Sylar to die too. She doesn't want him to hurt others. Peter is here to save the cheerleader.

Save the Cheerleader. Save the World

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

A man walked up next to her and looked into the trophy case. Observing Jackie in the photos. Especially the news paper article titled ODESSA HONORS LOCAL HERO, with a picture of Jackie, the head of the school and the Sheriff. Alex shook her head. "She's a hero. I'm glad to have someone like her around. She gives me hope for the future" Alex said, taking notice of the man but not looking. "Oh sorry" a girl. Claire said as she ran into the man. "I wasn't watching where I was going" Claire took her bag off of him and went to continue on her way. "Claire" I nodded to her and she nodded back.

"Do you. Do you know this Girl? Jackie Wilcox?" The man asked us. "Uh yeah" Alex said and Claire added "Half-time starts in a few minutes, you should be able to see her on the field" Claire began to move away. "She's a cheerleader" before walking off to get changed. "Are you a reporter or something?" Alex asked him as she watched Claire leave. "No I'm just curious" came his reply. Alex began to walk away in the same direction as Claire did before turning back around. "But between me and you. She's nothing special, just your average teenage girl" Alex walked away even more and she heard his reply. "She rushed into a fire, saved a man's life. That seems special to me" she rounded the corner, no longer able to see the man she knew as Peter Petrelli.

Alex found herself waiting by the cheerleaders changing rooms. Waiting for Claire to finish getting ready for half-time. It's now 8:05pm, the time the cheerleaders make their way to the field. Alex closed her eyes for a few minutes, and sensed someone walk past her. She shrugged it off, assuming it was just one of the coaches getting the girls. "Halftime girls, come on. Woo!" Alex recognised Jackie's voice and all the cheerleaders cheering. She waited five minutes, allowing time for the cheerleaders to file out but they never did. Alex opened her eyes and walked into the changing room.

"Will the nerviness never cease" Jackie said to someone. "I thought you were grounded" Jackie sounded smug. "It didnt take" came the reply of Claire Bennet. Alex walked further in, "Hows your eye?" Claire asked Jackie. "Nothing I can't cover up" Alex was fed up now. "Come on girls, Halftime" Alex clapped her hands earning the attention of the cheerleaders. "There's something I wanna say to you. Co-Captain to Co-captain" Jackie started applying makeup to her face. "Say it" Claire said walking to stand behind her. Jackie stopped applying the makeup and turned around. "I think you're a menace" there was a pause "And im not talking about you punching me over your boyfriend, the girlfriend" she stopped again, "Im talking about you in general, we used to be BFF's, what happened?" Jackie finished. "Maybe I have gained some perspective" Jackie laughed. "Im tired of being someone im not" Claire added. "You have been trying to be me since second grade" Claire gave her a look, "And now you're trying to be me" Jackie laughed and Alex just stood there and watched.

"How do you figure?" Jackie replied, this was taking the piss, Alex rolled her eyes. "That little heroic act of pulling the guy out of the burning train car" Claire sounded smug, "It wasn't your heroic act. It was mine" Jackie didn't believe her. "No it wasn't" Alex looked around hearing the footsteps of someone else, but she knew there werent anyone else in here, just her, Claire and Jackie. "I have it on tape" they both stopped speaking and Jackie turned away. "A good friend once said to be its more important to be honest with yourself and happy, than popular" Alex smiled. Claire just quoted her. "I think they got it right" Jackie slammed the locker shut, "Really? Sounds like a loser to me" Jackie said and walked away.
