Stolen

4.

ALEXIS POV.

Nothing was the same since we returned home from our trip. I was numb to everything. I couldn't eat, talk, nor function. I fell into a deep, dark depression. Dante was taking it better than I was. The news quickly spread. Everyone came over to check on me. I didn't budge but I thanked them emotionless. They did so many gestures to try to lighten mood. Nothing helped but I appreciated it anyway.

One night, Dante's brother and his girlfriend, Pam, came to surprise me. "Are you sure this is a good idea?" Oliver said to Pam. "Of course, she'll love it!" she beamed. They entered the house with Dante's key as he had gave them permission to do so. Oliver called out to me and I appeared. "Hi." I said with a fake smile. Oliver said, "Hey Alexis, we just came to check up on you." I said, "I'm fine."

And with that, I returned to my room. Oliver looked questionably at Pam. "Are you SURE this is a good idea." Pam rolled her eyes. "Sit down and watch the magic." She said dramatically. She knocked on my door. I said come in and Pam appeared with something in her hand. "I don't know how it is to feel that way but I brought you something to help you feel better." I watched as she walked over to me and revealed a puppy.

I looked at her and anger filled my eyes. "So you brought me a DAMN puppy to replace BIANCA!?" I screeched. Pam quickly backed away. "No, Alexis. I was only trying to.." I cut her off. "HELP!?" A puppy isn't a human being! Get the fuck out now! NOW!" I screamed. Pam ran out to Oliver crying uncontrollably. Oliver grabbed her asking what's wrong. "You were right. It was such a stupid idea. I-I..." Oliver hushed her quickly. "Shh, shh. It was a good gesture she needs time to heal. Let's go home." They left with a click of the door. I was alone again.

I felt bad for saying that to Pam. That was the pain taking over. I fell asleep for the rest of the night.
