A Haunted Dream; BOS 6

Thousands And Thousands

Lillian Morgan
As I'd toppled over the side of the roof I clenched my eyes shut. I gasp when someone grabs my hand tightly, stopping me from falling any further. When I look up I see Alex was the one who was holding onto me, stopping me from falling. "Don't let me fall Alex. Please don't let me fall. I need to see my Mary-Anne again." I sobbed in fear as I glanced down at the ground far below.
"Don't worry. I won't let you fall." He says firmly.
There's the sound of tires on gravel and I groan. "They had to come home for lunch right now didn't they."
"What the hell is going on?" Delance yells and I risk a glance down to see Delance and Kyle looking up at us.
The others all arrive and soon they're all looking up at us. "Alex pull me up now." I say, beginning to panic.
"I'm trying. Are you caught on anything?" Alex hissed.
I looked down to see wire was wrapped around my ankle somehow. "There's wire wrapped around my ankle." I call up.
"Can you get it off?" Alex asks. As I try the end of the wire digs into my leg and I yelp.
"No. It won't come off." My breathing grows rapid.
"It'll be alright Lillian. Just take deep breaths and calm down." Ashley calls up to me.
"Don't tell me to calm down. I'm the one who could die here. Then the media would turn it back on Alex saying 'One of the 8 Riches by the name of Alex Stone drops the famous actress Lillian Morgan from the top floor of his home. Instantly killing her.' I do not want that to happen. I want to see my daughter again. I want to see my family. I want to live. So please stop telling me to calm down and start finding a way to get this wire off of me so I can get pulled up." I screeched.
"Lillian I'm going to cut the wire with a laser. Don't move." Dylan says from the window just below me.
"Just don't cut my leg off." I hiss.
There's a slight buzzing sound before I hear the wire fall loudly. "Pull me up, pull me up, pull me up." I say quickly. Alex pulls me up, over the balcony railing and I collapse into his arms shaking as soon as my feet hit solid ground.
Alex was shaking too. I could feel and hear his heart racing wildly in his chest. "What the hell happened?" Ash asks as everyone races into the room and stands by the balcony door.
"I was on the roof untangling a Bald Eagle squawks hod gotten tangled. When he flew of I watched him and my foot slipped. I tumbled over the edge and Alex grabbed my hand before I fell to the ground." I reply shakily.
"A Bald Eagle? You don't usually see them around here." Brett says with a frown.
"I know." I say and take a shaky breath before stepping away from Alex and walking inside.
I sit on the bed and hug my knees. "You guys should go get some lunch. I'll be fine. I just need to be by myself for a bit." I say and hesitantly everyone leaves except Alex who stayed by the balcony door.
"You too Alex. You should go get something to eat." I sigh and put my chin on my knees.
"I can say the same for you." He replies and walks over so he sat cross-legged on the end of the bed watching me.
"I'll be fine. Now go eat." My voice threatening to crack.
"I'll eat if you will Lillian. I can last a long time without food." Alex says and I glare at him.
"Just get out and eat. You really don't want to argue with me right now Alex. I'm far from being in the mood." I hissed.
Raising his hands in surrender he gets up and leaves the room.
Seconds after the doors close I let the tears fall silently. Not a sound leaves me as I cry. I just sit hugging my knees. If I stay I'll hurt Alex.
I don't want anything to happen to him. If Macy hurts him or if I hurt him I don't know what I'll do.
After that night I never stopped liking Alex.
I've always lived him.
I may have said it was a drunken mistake of that note but that was only to hide the fact that deep down I knew it was the best night of my life. Now that a I think about it I realize that if I could turn back time a I wouldn't do anything differently. I don't regret a thing.
But now.
In this time.
There is something I regret.
I regret bringing Alex into my mess.
Now, because of me he could get killed. If he dies then there will be many broken hearts. I remember when they all disappeared and the gangs and assassins took over LA. Who could forget that?
Something similar may happen if Alex dies.
People will see that they aren't invincible. Slowly they'll all get picked off one by one and the LA take over will happen again. But this time it'll stay forever and nobody would he able to stop it.
It would have been all my fault.
I need to leave before something happens.
Slowly I get up from the bed and walk to the window where a I state outside.
Alex won't just leave me.
I can't just leave him either.
He'll hunt me down and find me.
The only way to get away for him and get him to stay away is to do something that a I don't want to do. It's the last thing I want to do to Alex.
I'm gonna need to break his heart in every way a I can.
I need to get him to never want to see my face ever again.
To do that I'll have to do something vial. Something that may end up breaking me as well.
Whatever it is I do won't be permanently. I'd die if it was.
After Macy is gone.
After the danger has been put out I will come back.
I'll find Alex and tell him the truth.
I'll tell him that he wasn't a drunken mistake.
I'll tell him that Mary-Anne is really my actual born daughter.
I'll tell him that he is the father of my child.
But that's if I survive.
I have to get that far first.
Breaking Alex's hear will slowly kill me inside and I'll probably end up breaking and not being able to go through with it.
This can only mean I'll need help.
It means I'm gonna need to get Alex's own brother to help me tear Alex's heart into thousands and thousands of prices.
