While Alex finishes up her shower, Tobin sits at the table thinking of different scenarios that can possibly happen if Alex found out. Would Alex hate Tobin? Would she tell everyone? Would she be ok with it? But most importantly will she ever love Tobin in more than just a friend way?
In the other side of the house Alex steps out of the shower and gets dressed. Questions roam her head on how the scratches ended up on her back. "Did I actually scratch myself? Maybe...it isn't a lot of scratches..." she thought. She's a bit skeptical, but she leaves it to that. Alex steps out and walks to her dresser. She blow dries her hair and brushes it. Finishing, she walks out to the living room and looks for Tobin. She glances at the kitchen and scoffs when she sees Tobin there. "Of course she's in the kitchen." Alex makes her way there and she sees Tobin in deep thought.
"Hey there. What're'ya thinking about?" Tobin jumps at Alex's question, not seeing her standing there.
"Fucking christ Lex. You scared the shit out of me." she breathes out and chuckles. Alex smiles and walks to the fridge. "Nothing. By the way. Just , I'm hungry so I was debating on going out to eat or making breakfast." Tobin says and Alex smiles. "Going out seems fun." Alex turns to Tobin and grins. Tobin laughs and shakes her head, grabbing her keys and heads for the door, leaving Alex to catch up.

"We are not eating at McDonald's Tobin."
"Why not! Its perfectly fine!"
"..."
"Fine. Jeez."
----
"I can't believe you actually drove to another McDonald's."
Tobin smiles at Alex's frustration.
----
"I hope you're happy."
"You know I am. Why do you ask?"
Alex takes a piece of her morning sandwich and throws it at Tobin. Tobin skillfully catches the food with her mouth and she grins.
"Oh shut up you dilhole!"
----
They finish up eating and they head back home. Another few hours roll around and Tobin grabs her keys. "Hey im gonna head out. Ill be back later."
"Okay. Be safe!"
The door closes and Alex is left to her thoughts. She checks the time. 6:39 p.m. She closes her eyes while letting herself sink into the couch.
Alex starts to sing. If I fell - Evan Rachel Wood
If fell in love with you
Would you promise to be true
And help me understand
Cos I've been in love before
And I found that love was more
Than just holding hands
She gets up and walks into the hallway.
