YOUNG VOLCANOES

The end.

(Andrea se que vas a leer esto, estaba aburrida en mi clase de comunicaciones and this is what I did)

Alex had always been hard to read, but I never expected for something else to be wrong with him... anything else than just his bad attitude, I mean.

Think about it. A voice inside my head remarks again and again.

He made you frustrated and reckless.
He made Monica crazy.
He made Allison attention deprived and empty.

Still, those seemed as problems that each of us had on our own.

But Alex heightened them.

Which was true. I remember when I used to not care about what people thought, but then I started to hang out with him and instantly I wanted to prove myself anywhere I went.

Still, I didn't want him to go to jail. The guy didn't deserve jail. How did uncle Michael feel about this? Was he going to bail him out? Did Nate know?

So many sudden questions popped within me. I was being released from the hospital soon. I had to go home and call Kate... I had to mend things with her first.

I laid on the cold hospital bed, the AC seemed intent on making a Sam Irwin popsicle. I tried to ask the elderly nurse to turn it down but she'd laughed at the apparent silly idea.

I was allowed to shower at least, but the idea of showering and then exposing my fresh clean skin to this horrible arctic environment made me want to stay in my current stinky state. I looked at the clock 2:15pm. Just two more hours until I got released at 4pm. My Dad had gone out on a run for food, which I encouraged due to the horrible hospital food that I'd been served.

"Ms. Irwin?" A light skinned, tall asian woman walked into my room.

I looked around as if there was another version of me to answer her. I gulped down, looking at her business attire and suitcase in one hand. Her hair perfectly straightened and red lips closed in a perfect poker face smile.

"That would be me..." I responded with a nod.

"My name's Linda Stewart, I'm Alex Clifford's lawyer. I come to you with an offer" she introduced herself. And she proceeded to introduce to me an offer that I wouldn't deny.

Entering the police headquarters was weird. It made me remember how just a few months ago me and Alex had been tied up in here, questioned about the illegal car racing we'd participated in.

Linda- Alex's lawyer- showed me the way into a questioning room. The ones with a steel table and a two way mirror in one wall. The room was empty but as she'd explained, Alex would soon be brought in.

I'd left the hospital without telling my Dad. But I didn't really care. I'd just blame it on my Alex adquired "paranoia".

"Ms. Irwin, can you repeat to me what is our procedure here?" She asks.

"Blame Alex's confession as a self defense for our affair. Since there is no physical evidence of his alleged drug trafficking, I'll confess about how his fake confession was just an attempt to get away from our relationship... He will refuse ,but he will be met with some months of mental treatment and his confession will be cast out since he was never in the right state of mind to do such a heavy confession" I repeat in the most simple way that I can think of.

"It's more difficult than that, we have to make a statement which proves that Alex needs emotional treatment and that this confession was just an outburst of him trying to get away from it" Linda says. As she puts a camera on a stand next to the table, ready to record the whole conversation we where about to have with Alex and show in court.

But then I hear screams outside. People are running in the hall and the emergency fire alarm of the hospital is fired up. The door opens and there's Alex, looking wild and hazed. His lawyer looks at him frightened and starts to yell. Alex reveals the gun in his hand and shoots.

I scream in awful terror that was coming up from my throat in a state of extreme anguish. Then he points at me and shoots.

And then, I open my eyes. Everything was a dream, the whole story in my head was just a nightmare because I really didn't want to have dinner with my Dad's friends and their children. I could never fall in love with Alex Clifford, car race or anything else the crazy events the dream had created. I'm just a regular ol' girl and this fanfic needed to be finished so what better way than making it all a dream ;)...
