Recap:

A smile slips on my lips at the thought of Alex again and I merge out the bathroom but I lost my smile when I heard a female voice, it was angry.

"Who in the hell is in the guestroom?" the woman exclaims and I turn to face the ajar door waiting for the storm to hit.

The door opens and I was looking at a tall blonde-haired woman who had catlike green eyes. She was pale but stunning however, her anger expression was replace with horror. Her eyes water and her thin frame shook. "This is not real," the woman whispers, her once strong tone that was express with anger was now only a whisper, weak.

"What is the matter?" Alex asks and I felt displacement when Alex reaches to wrap his arm around the blond frame. He drags her back from the doorframe so they stood in the dim lighten hallway. "Why are you so frightened?" he asks her again and I could feel the worry dripping from his words.

"It just that I think seen her before and I've been dizzy from my migraine all day to today," the blonde says placing her manicured fingers on Alex bicep before looking at me. "Who's she and why is she in our guestroom, Alex---with no clothes on?" she asks regaining her stable position and she pushes Alex away from her. She leaves a piercing look my way before leaving the room. I share a fleeting look with Alex but he barely looks my way to follow the blonde-haired woman.

Who's that woman and why is he so is concerned about her. I question his actions before standing still. I clutch the top of the large towel; it no longer provided the warmth and the smile that was once on my face was a grim line now. If it has been fifteen years than it is most likely that Alex had move on.

"He loves me still," I whisper to myself and I turn to reenter the bathroom to see a fresh robe handing from behind the door. I slip the towel down and replace my body was the blue cotton robe. I turn and hesitantly exit out the guest room and brace myself for what will happen as I go down the carpet staircase that enters a red themed living room. The blond woman sat down on a plush long red couch. It was similar to the one at the movie theaters, I used to go there every 2 dollar Friday movie-night with Madelyn. My eyes widen with I thought about with sporty best friend. Is she still in town, did she move or did she died?

I ignore my last disturbing thought as I turn my attention to Alex. He paces in front the red couch as the blond watch him with an expression that I only thought I would grace Alex with, love and wonder. I pray that my Alex was not with this woman! I wouldn't know how to behave or think if my Alex was with someone else. He was supposed to be my future, my everything but that was taken away from him and me as well.

"Alex, you're telling me that teen is an old friend of yours!" the blond woman exclaims while throwing up her hands. "You are half her age and you aspect for me to believe that!"

I grip the banister as I stood on the last step of the staircase as I listen to their conversation. "Marian, she someone important to me and I can't just let her walk out of here! I have to help her for god sakes," he says looking at the blond woman, whom name was now Marian.

"Shouldn't she be in school or with her family, Alex," Marian says with a southern accent. "When I first saw her, something is off about her," she trails off probably looking for words to describe me. "She looks like a lost soul...a ghost. She is a freak or maybe she's sick," she says while tousling her manicured fingers through her light blond hair.

"Marian, I don't care what you think about her but don't be rude to her. I have to figure out something and I don't need you making everything about yourself," he tells her and he comes to stop in front of her. Marian stands up and I notice she was only an inch shorter to him so she was tall.
