Changes

"Alexis wake up we're here..."

"Hm?" I ask, waking up and stretching out my neck.

"We're home..."

"Dylan... What the fuck are we doing here..." I ask looking at my old house.

"Mom invited us back home. She got over her little fit. Dad helped convince her."

"Dylan. I am not going in there. Not with him there..."

"Alexis I know-" I cut him off.

"No! Dylan you don't know! You don't even know what happened!"

"You're right but-"

"No Dylan! There are no buts!"

"Alexis you said you didn't know what happened... You do?"

A tear streams down my cheek and I put my face in my hands. "Yes Dylan... I...I do..."

"Care to tell me?"

I explain everything to Dylan and he looks shocked. He pulls me out of the car and embraces me into a hug.

"Alexis as long as I'm here that will never happen again. Okay? I will protect you at all costs. You're my baby sister. That's what I'm here for..."

At this point, the tears are falling, hard. "Okay. I...I..."

"I know Alexis..."

He holds me for a few minutes until my tears subside.

"You ready?"

I nod and just simply grab the bag with my clothes in it. I was tired and wanted to nap.

Dylan unlocks the door and we walk inside.

"Children! Welcome home! We've been waiting for you!" Michael yells, walking over to us. "Especially you Lexi..." He says, putting his hand on my lower back. Dylan notices and pulls Michael into a hug, causing him to take his hand off of me and for me to take a sigh of relief.

I immediately walk up into my old bedroom, assuming that's where I'm staying, and see my mom sitting on my old bed.

"Mom?" She looks up and I notice she's been crying.

"Alexis... Sweetie..." She walks up to me and pulls me into a hug. As much as I didn't want to, I needed my mother right now.

"Mom what's wrong? Are you okay?"

"No Alexis. I'm not... I missed my baby girl. I hated the fact that you hated me and I don't want to go back to that place. I love you and I want to do whatever I can to help you..." I can tell she's being sincere.

"Oh mom... I never hated you... I thought you hated me..."

"I...I... Well, at the moment I'm not going to lie, I wish I did... But I could never hate you. You're my baby... I love you."

At this point we're both crying.

"Lexi?"

"Yeah mom?"

"Where's your boyfriend? Luke is it? I kinda remember him. He used to be friends with Dyl right? Is he here? Is like to see him again."

This sets me off. Tears start falling like waterfalls just as Dylan walks in. Dylan immediately pulls me into a hug.

"What happened?"

"I'm not sure? I asked about Luke and-"

"Oh mom... They...They broke up..."

"Aw but why?"

"Well... It's kinda my fault..."

Then Dylan explains everything to my mom with my assistance and I decide to go to bed.

"Goodnight mom, goodnight Dylan. I love you guys!"

"We love you too." They say in unison and leave my room.

I flop down on my bed and curl up under my blankets, hopefully falling into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night at some point, I wake up because of a nightmare, about Michael. I roll over and reach out expecting to feel Luke.

Nothing.

Everything comes back to me and I start crying.

I cry myself to sleep, for maybe the first time since I'd been with Luke.
