Loving alexis

Chapter 6

*Alexis*

I woke up in a room that I wasn't very familiar with.

Taking a look around the room, I suddenly realized where I was.

I'm at Fletcher's house. I'm in Fletcher's bed. I'm wearing Fletcher's shirt..

And it was 3:45am.

He suddenly started to shake in his sleep, whimpering. It kind of sounded like he was crying.

I rolled over and faced him, wiping away his tears and trying to wake him up.

"Alexis.." He cried.

"I'm here." I whispered.

His grasp around my waist tightened, and he placed his head on my chest. Still crying.

"You left me.." He whispered.

As my fingers went through his hair, I whispered back,"I'm not going anywhere."

waking up for the second time this morning, I saw fetcher in a restaurant uniform. For my favorite restaurant.

"Are you leaving?" I yawned.

"Yeah, I have to go to work." He said. "But I get out at 4.

I got up and helped him with his collar on his shirt.

"Can you drop me off before you go? If its a problem, I can just walk." I said.

"No, I can take you." He said, hesitating.

"Okay." I smiled.

I pulled on my shorts, leaving his shirt on, and put my other clothes in my bag. I made my way to the car and got in.

"Are we dating, or are we just...?" He said, breaking the little silent moment.

"I don't recall being asked a certain question." I said, as my heart started to beat faster.

He gave me a big smile, while pulling into my driveway. "Well I guess I get to make it big now."

"No! I'm fine with the simple question.." I said, stuttering.

"I'm not asking you yet. You will definitely know if I ask you." He smiled.

I nodded, bringing him into a hug, pressing my forehead to his.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow, at school." I said.

He started walking to his car, but stopped and turned back to me. "Yeah, I guess you will."

I was about to go into the elevator, but a man caught my sight out of the corner of my eyes. So, as curious as I am, I walk into the living room.

"Can I help you?" I ask, staring at the back of the man's head.

He turns around slowly, and a pit grows in my stomach.

"Well hello there Alexis. Long time no see." The man smirks.

I froze in my spot and my eyes locked with his.

"Do you not remember me?" He tilted his head, stepping a little closer.

"Don't even think about taking another step towards me." I say angrily. "And I remember you perfectly. You were my last foster dad and you hit me. You beat me till the day I was taken back here to my real family. And I will never forget that night where you-"
