Someone Better

Chapter 13

Elizabeth's pov

All of these children are acting weird. Lisa and John are acting like they are in a movie drama, Mark is acting like he just died inside, and Alex is just acting normal which isn't weird. I don't know why all Lisa and John do is cry and talk about their 'feelings' or whatever they talk about. Lisa had a mental break down and she started yelling at the receptionist about seeing Alex. These children stress me out. Why can't they just act like people did when I was a teenager? I have a theory that Lisa and John are together, I don't know why but I feel like they have something going on. I feel like John and Alex aren't really at happy anymore. I just have a weird feeling that John is really going to hurt Alex, not physically but hurt as in I feel like he is going to break her heart. I feel as though if you aren't happy anymore with someone break up with them instead of leading them on.

John's pov

I feel like Elizabeth thinks there is something going on between Lisa and me. I mean there is but then again there isn't. Me and Lisa  became super close the summer Alex left to go live with her grandma for the summer. I gradually started to feel something for Lisa. I didn't want to do it but I didn't do anything to stop it either. The summer Alex was gone I didn't really miss her. I was starting to really like Lisa and I know I'm horrible to admit that but it's true. Now Lisa is trying to 'fix' what Alex and I had before that summer but there is really nothing to fix. Some people just aren't really meant to be together but I am also the human that freaked out because Alex wanted to break up with me. I love Alex I really do but I also like Lisa.

Alex's mom called my name motioning for me to go over to her.

"Are you alright?" She asked

"Y-Yeah I'm fine." I tried to be convincing.

"Listen if there is something wrong with you and Alex? You can trust me I promise you I won't say anything to Alex. I feel like if you want her to know you should tell her."

I hesitated but I ended up caving. "What if I told you I love you daughter but I also like someone else."

"Who is this other person? Lisa?"

"Yeah. How did you know? "

"I may be old but I'm not blind. I see the way you look at her."

"I just don't know what to do."

" You said you like Lisa but you also said you love Alex. I am not trying to offend you but I personally think you don't really love Alex if you like Lisa. I also think you should tell Alex not until she gets out of the hospital in two days. No one deserves to be lead on by someone they think is head over heals in love with them."

"But I think it would would kill me to see Alex with someone else." I felt a lump in my throat.

"Sometimes holding on causes more damage than letting go." I was reminded that Alex had told me the same thing.

"What do I do?" I asked.
