Life changes.

Talk.

It has been almost a week and Alex is getting better with the chair.

Austin is laughing at Aubrey as she tries to play with Aiden and he does throw the ball back. “Aubrey, he’s not old enough baby.” She turns and looks at me and sits down before grabbing her dolls and playing with them. I look at Austin, “Really?” He takes a drink of his soda and shrugs, “It was funny.” I shake my head and turn to head upstairs. As I turn I run into Alex in his wheelchair. I put my hands on the armrest, “I am so sorry.” He smiles, “It’s okay.” I move and he goes around and then stops to stare at me, “Are you going out?” I nod and he looks down, “Would you care to get me some movie?” I shake my head and he smiles, “Thank you.” He wheels off with a huge smile.

I walk upstairs and get in the shower.  After I was done I wrap myself in a towel and brush my hair. I walk to my closet and pick out a pair of jeans and a plain blue t-shirt. After getting dressed I pull my hair into a messy bun and grab my phone. I brush my teeth and slip on a pair of flip flops. I walk down the steps and walk into the living room. “Okay, I’m leaving.” Austin stands up and pecks my lips before sitting back down. Aubrey comes over and hugs me and I bend down so she can kiss me. I walk over and kiss Aiden. Alex wheels up to me. “Here.” He hands me a twenty dollar bill. I look at him confused, “Incase you find an awesome movie I may like, or food you know I like or something.” I laugh and turn heading towards the door. “Bye.” I walk out and get in my car.

About two hours later I come home with some diapers, outfits for the kids, Alex some movies, and other necessities we needed. I have my arms full and close the trunk. Walking quickly so I don’t lose my momentum  I reach the door and push it open. I place the bags on the ground by the door and close it. Grabbing the movies I got Alex I walk around the corner to the living room. Alex is in his chair with his arms crossed and looking at the tv to intently. Austin is sitting on the couch away from him with a smug look on his face. Aubrey is sleeping on her blanket in the floor and I look over and see Aiden asleep too. Sighing I walk farther in and place the movies on the table.

I walk around and stand in front of the television and look at both men. Alex is now staring at my middle since it is in front of the television now. Austin wont look at me. I sigh and pop my hip out. “What happened?” They both say nothing. I turn and look at Austin, “What happened when I was gone?” He still says nothing. Sighing I look at Alex, “Last time I am asking, what happened?” He looks over at Austin and I see his jaw move with clenched teeth, “Ask him.” I turn to Austin, “What did you do?” He looks at me for the first time, “What I should of done in the first place.” I sigh and look at him, “Explain.” He crosses his arms, “I told him what I have wanted to tell him. He didn’t take it well.”

Flashback (Austin’s Pov)…

I watch Ally close the door and decide to try and play nice. Alex comes over to the couch and looks at me, “Can you move the table out some, so I can get on the couch too?” I look at him, “Why should I?” Alex looks taken back. “I didn’t mean… I’m sorry, its fine.” He wheels to the side of the couch and gets comfy in the chair. I watch him turn his attention to the television. Mr. nice guy, Mr. Perfect, even injured and in pain he is nice and doesn’t want any problems. Who the fuck acts like this? Alex was always this way. I don’t like him going back to this way.

“Your not wanted here.” He turns and looks at me and takes a breath, “I know.” I look at him shocked. “Then why the hell are you here.” He sinks in his chair some, “I had nowhere else to go.” I shake my head, “Why do we have to keep putting up with you, because you have no one?” He sighs and turns to me, “Austin, I get it. You don’t want me here. You don’t like what I did to Ally and I don’t like it either. I know she is mad at me and I am sorry. I am so sorry, I wish I could take it back. I know Ally don’t want me here. I appreciate her taking me in even though she is pissed at me.”
