Alex's P.O.V.

I go back to Tobin's house and flop down on the couch. 

"Hey babe." Tobin says, sitting next to me. "What's wrong? Where were you?" 

"Just out." I said. 

"Out where?" Tobin asks. 

"I..." I began. Tobin's chocolate brown eyes stare into my own. "I bailed Servando out of jail." I admit. 

"You what, Alex?!" Tobin says, getting up from the couch. 

"I bailed him out." I say quietly, looking at my hands. 

"Are you nuts, Alex Morgan?!" Tobin yells. "You bailed that motherfucker out?! He tried to kill my sister, or had you forgotten?!" 

"I'm sorry, Tobin!" I say. "I made him promise that he wouldn't come near you or Thalia again!" 

"And you actually think he's gonna honor that promise?!" Tobin snaps. "You're so fucking gullible, Alex! He's not gonna stay away from us! He's going to try to kill Thalia again!" 

"Toby, what's going on?" Thalia asks sleepily, coming downstairs. 

"Nothing, kiddo." Tobin says. 

"I'll take her back upstairs." I offer. 

"Oh no you don't." Tobin growls. "I'll take her." the words hit me like a punch in the gut. She doesn't trust me around Thalia. Tobin puts her hand on Thalia's back and guides her back upstairs. 

"Tobin, don't you trust me?" I ask desperately when she comes back downstairs. 

"I did, Alex." Tobin says. "Now I'm not so sure."
