Anything Can Happen/ Merlex

The Hall Of The Past

Alex's pov

After speaking with Derek, Mark and lexie. I was stuck in my own memory. I watch the video of me at 6. "Alex get your butt back here"my father yelled. I ran into the nearest closet to hide from my raging alcoholic of a father.

"Son where fuck did you go! My father shouted. I stayed quiet. "Alexander I'm not fucken around get your little ass out here now! Or something worse will happen" My father threatened. He's voice so loud and scary. I crawl out of the closet.

"I'm sorry daddy" I whispered. "Not good enough"My father snapped. He grabbed me with full force. He threw me straight to the ground. I yelped in pain. "Ow"! I yelped. "Shut up it didn't hurt that bad"! my father snapped again. But this with a crooked smile. Tears streamed down my little face. "Daddy please stop"I begged. He ignored me and continued to beat me.

After he was done. He left the house again. I ran straight to my room. That night my father never came back. "Aaron" I yelled. "Yes Alex"? Aaron answered. "I think father is gone" I called from my room. I opened the door to go to Aaron's room. "Alex can I come out"? He asked. "I think so" I called out. I decided to check if Amber was okay. She was only two at the time. I took most of the beaters for my siblings.

A year later my mother started to get strange. One day I came home to my mother chasing Aaron and Amber with a kitchen knife. That night after the police were called. Me, Aaron and Amber were put into foster care. "I don't want to leave my siblings" I begged the social worker. "I'm sorry kid but they can't come with" she answers me as she puts me in the car.

I started to steal bread to feed my family. I was 10 when I started. I have already been in 7 different foster homes. By the age 17. I had been in Juvenile detention center 6 times. I had been put in a total of 17 foster homes. After the video was done. I wiped the tears out of my eyes. I continued to walk down the hall of my past.

I got down this one hall. It was titled middle school. As I watched I saw little me. Fat me. I was bullied for years until I turned into the Bully in high school. I saw Derek and mark. Mark had a smirking smile. He had been like this since first grade. Mark and I had bad childhoods. His mom abandoned him. He mostly stays with Derek's family. At age 14. My bastard of a father returned. I knew it was enough of torture. I beat the living shit of my deadbeat of a father. He never came back after that. The nightmare continued. I still have nightmares of what my father did to me. I finally wake up. . "Did you miss me" I said cockily. "Alex don't ever scare me let that again"!
She scolded. "'Mer calm down"! I whispered. "Alex how can I come down. When I almost lost you" Mer whispered yelled. "But you didn't" I replied. "Alex. I know your not the father of Jo's baby. She told me everything. And we are sorta friends now" She told me as tears fall on to her checks of her face. She didn't even realize that She was crying until I wiped her tears out her eyes away. "You're friends with my ex"? I questioned suspiciously. "Yes I am" She answers back with a laugh. "Oh my god your awake" jo said from outside the door. "Hey jo come on in. You did save his life" Mer replied. "Hey Mer" jo said. "Oh I'm in trouble" I sighed. "Alex! Mer and Jo yelled. "Sorry too soon" I replied.
