15. Blindsided

*~Omniscient~*

After Alex stormed out of the room, nobody said anything as they all quietly glanced at one another, not knowing what to do or what to say. They knew that they should've went after her, but the fear of what she would do to any one of them, stopped them from doing so. Alex might've been small, but her temper and strength was nothing to play with.

"So are we all really going to just stand here looking stupid?" Blue voiced, glaring at everyone.

"Harper..." Frost began, but she cut him off.

"Harper nothing! Everyone in this room has betrayed her trust and now none of us are going to go check on her?"

"She needs time to process this." Bruce said, regretting his decision to keep him helping Joker a secret. He understood now why Alex always pushed him away, and in that moment he felt like a complete failure as a father.

"No, what she needs is somewhere to stop her from doing something completely crazy and stupid!" Little did Blue know, she wasn't far from the truth. None of them knew, but Alex had already left the party, heading home to do the unthinkable.

Kane had came out of the bathroom, pissed that Blue had spilled her drink all over his expensive tuxedo, but thankfully she didn't make any stains and he was still able to enjoy his evening with Alex. Though he noticed Joker was watching her half the night, he refused to let another man come in and take what was rightfully his. Alex was the love of his life and he refused to believe that he did two years in Blackgate, just to get out and find out that she had moved on with someone else. In Kane's eyes, that was the ultimate betrayal, especially when she should've did time in prison as well. Returning to the party, Kane was shaking with anger finding that Alex was nowhere to be found, along with the guy that he had been noticing was watching her throughout the night. Not only was he pissed that Blue spilled a drink all over him, but he was also pissed to know that someone had once again taken Alex away from him.

"Two years." He grumbled. "Two fucking years in Blackgate Prison for what? To come home and find out that my girl was in love with another man and not only that...she got knocked up by him!" The anger he was feeling was starting to become too much and he needed to get away before he did something he'd regret. He headed towards the exit, stepping outside, when he noticed that Alex was leaving. No excuse, no goodbyes, no nothing.

"Alex!" Kane called out, but before he knew it...her car was speeding out of the driveway.

Blue headed upstairs to Alex's old bedroom, looking for her so she could explain herself, but when she walked into her room...she found Alex's dress and heels on the bed. Frost was right behind her, trying to talk to her, but she wouldn't let him get a single word in because she was pissed that he sort of put her in this mess.

"Baby." Frost spoke, but Blue ignored him and hurried out of the room, rushing into the nursery. She found Maize rocking Halo in her arms, as she slept soundly, which only confused her.

"Hey, did Alex come in here?" She whispered, not trying to wake the babies.

"Yes, she said she was leaving and that she'd be back to pick Halo up in the morning." Maize whispered. Blue instantly got a bad feeling, turning and hurrying out of the room, as she rushed downstairs.

"Harper, can you just talk to me?" Frost asked, gently grabbing her arm.

"We have to go home, now!"

"What? Why?"

"I just have a really bad feeling and I need to get to Alex, so can we please go?" She begged, turning to head towards the exit, but she accidentally ran into Kane. "Sorry Kane. Hey, you didn't by any chance see Alex leave did you?"

"Yeah I did. She left about ten minutes ago." Kane responded dryly, glaring at Jack as he approached them.

"Did you find her?" He asked Frost, while Blue rushed towards the exit. Frost and Jack followed, leaving Kane standing there angry and confused. "What the hell is going on?"

"I'm not sure, but we're going to check on Alex." Frost said, as they all climbed into the car. They wasted no time speeding away from Wayne Manor, heading towards the penthouse, not caring if they got pulled over because Frost didn't plan on stopping until he got to where they needed to be.

Blue kicked her heels off, preparing to jump out of the car, and rush inside so she could check on her best friend; in hopes that nothing bad has happened to her.

Inside the penthouse, Alex had tears streaming down her face, as she sat in the bathroom and cried her eyes out. Not only was she pissed off about everyone keeping the huge secret about Joker from her, she was also pissed that she was blindsided by what was going on around her. She used to be sharp as a tack, knowing everybody's secrets before they did, but now? She was blindsided and she didn't like that one bit. As if something had snapped deep down inside of her, Alex wiped her eyes as she stood up and stared at herself in the mirror. The person looking back at her was someone she hardly recognized and in that moment...she blamed everyone for her painful unhappiness. Her dad, her uncle, and especially Joker. Blue and Frost were apart of that pain as well, but they really haven't hurt her the way that the three men in her life have.

Bringing her fist up, she screamed as loud as she could, punching the glass and shattering the mirror as pieces of glass sliced her fist. She hissed in pain, walking over towards the bathtub, as she ran her now bloody fist under the water. Not even the pain she was feeling in her hand was enough to take her mind off of the pain in her heart. Running herself a bath, Alex didn't even bother removing her clothes, as she grabbed her trusty blade from off of the sink and carried it over towards the tub; easing her body inside as she stared down at her wrist.

"ALEX!" Blue called out, right as Alex dug the blade into her skin. She could hear the sounds of multiple footsteps coming her way, but she didn't care about anyone or anything at the moment. The door was lock and her mind was made up. This was happening.
