Their Secret

Seeing

Alex's POV

"You're back, how long have I been sleeping?" I ask Ashton.

"About a week. Alex, what happened when I left?" He asks concerned.

"Nothing" I say trying to remember last week's events. Ashton starts calling Xavior who comes running into my room. He looks at me and smiles. He comes over to hug me. Before asking me a bunch of questions. He soon leaves and thirty minutes later my mom, dad, Athena, Nicholas, Emily, Kyle, Amber, Claire, Joanne, Greyson, Cynthia and Chris come flooding into my room at different intervals.

After a long and people filled day I give into my fatigue and sleep. I wake up in the middle of the night to find Greyson sitting on the couch next to my bed and looking at me intently.

"Hey" I say smiling.

"Hey Alex, I need to umh I need to go" he says standing up.

"Please, don't leave" I say to him. He looks at me surprised and sits down.

"I heard you" I say slowly. He looks at me confused.

"I heard everything you said to me" I say smiling.

"You did? I ment every word" he says running his hand through his hair.

"You love me?" I ask surprised.

"Every piece of me Alex" he says with a twinkle in his eyes.

"I don't know what to say" I say honestly.

"You don't have to say anything. The thought of you dying made me realise that I would give up the world for you" he says smiling.

"Wow Greyson, I didn't expect that" I say surprised.

"Me neither. I know your heart is with Ashton and I have accepted that" he says giving me a sad smile.

"So we are still friends?" I ask smiling back.

"I can't stay away from you so I guess I'll have to settle for that" he says looking at me with his hazel eyes. We start talking about random things and I eventually fall asleep once again. I wake up to Ashton looking at me seriously.

"I thought you weren't going to wake up" he says smiling.

"Well here I am, awake and tired of this room" I say irritated.

"You are going to like hearing that you are coming home in three days" he says still giving me his handsome smile.

"I can't wait...Ashton we need to talk...about us" I say seriously.

"What about us?" He asks.

"Where do we stand? We can't pretend that everything was fine before I landed up in here."

"I'm willing to make us work if you are, I realised that I can't lose you Alex" he says taking my hand.

"Ok, what about Rita and your s- Daniel?" I ask. An image of a shot and bloodied Alessandro flashes in my mind.

"I am thinking of getting full custody of Daniel" he says running his hand through his hair. Giving him a sexy disheveled look.

"Getting full custody" I ask surprised. This is going to be messy. Daniel isn't even his child.

"Yes, do you have a problem with that?" He asks analysing my facial expression. Which is a surprised grimace. If only he knew.

"Uh, you mean Daniel is going to come live with us. Like we are going to have to raise him? What about Rita she is Daniel's mother have you thought about how she feels about this?" I ask.

"I couldn't care less how Rita feels" he says bitterly.

"What if you are not even Daniel's father" I ask.

"What, how can you even ask me that? So I am guessing you don't want him to come live with us?" He asks slightly angry.

"That's not what I am saying. I'm just saying we have to look at all the possibilities and we also have to also consider Rita she is still Daniel's mother" I say flatly.

"She should have thought of that before she, fact is I don't want her anywhere near my son" he says angrily. I grimace at the word "son".

"Before she did what?" I ask sitting up.

"It doesn't matter."

"It does, what did she do?" I ask.

"She got Freddie to follow you. He was going to rape you" he says saying every word like it is killing him.

"She what?" So that man who tried to rape me was sent by Rita. I get a flash of the burly man pointing his gun at me and hear Ashton commanding him to shoot me.

"Alex" Ashton says getting me out of my trance.

"What?" I snap.

"So do you agree with me?" He asks surprised at my temper.

"I don't know Ashton, I need you to leave" I say seriously.

"What?" He asks surprised.

"I said you need to leave as in now" I say pointing at the door. He gives me a confused look, stands up and leaves. Greyson comes in a few minutes later.

"What did you do to my brother?" He asks smiling and sitting down.

"I threw him out" I say shortly.

"Why did you do that?" He asks curiously.

"I couldn't stand him" I say honestly.

"Because of what happened?" He asks with a concerned look.

"You know what happened?" I ask surprised. He just nods in reply.

"What if it wasn't me, he would have left that person to die. I don't know if I can move on from that. I love him but that doesn't mean I am going to forget what happened and just move on" I say honestly.

"I guess I would feel the same if I was in your position."

"How does your mom do it?" I ask.

"My mom is the epitome of the perfect mafia wife, she doesn't ask questions or defy my father she is basically his puppet, she does whatever my father tells her to do without hesitation" he says sorrowfully.
