Handcuffed, both Alex and Rose were at the police station, awaiting the questioning. Max had been put further away, due to 'safety' reasons, leaving them together. "Alex, I'm sorry I kicked you out. It was just that so much happened lately. I didn't know how to process it all, so I took my anger out in you."
"It's, ok Rose. I don't know why you didn't freak out on me when I..." Alex paused for a moment, on the verge of tears, "When I strangled you."
Rose leaned into him and muttered, "I guess we're even, then." In a slightly louder voice, she then spoke, "Where were you whilst you were gone? You didn't arrive at school for months and there were posters put out claiming you 'missing'." He then exhaled, staring up at the ceiling, before replying, "I didn't go back to my dad's house. I found an abandoned house just outside the city by the countryside. I used it for a while."
"You can always come back into mine. My grandma is a nice person, she just might take a while to get used to you," Rose looked at him hopefully as she offered this, and to her, surprise, his response wasn't nearly as bad as she anticipated. "Really? Yes, I'd love to," Alex gazed at her as he stated this, then added on, "I didn't take much of my stuff when I left. Hopefully your grandma didn't find anything."
Rose just laughed, "Maybe one or two things!" After this, The mood changed and she could feel it as the words she knew were coming had passed her lips, "Will we ever sort it out? Will we ever... You know. Work things out again? After all those fights, I'm worried that we'll ever be able to find our future together. What if it goes to far?"
"Rose, we'll work it all out. I promise. I love you." Rose understood every word and couldn't have come up with a better response herself, so she spoke the same, few words, "I love you too, Alex."
