Chapter 10:

Lexi's POV

LEXI!!! I hear someone screaming. My ears are ringing and I scowl while I open my eyes. Zack is sitting straight up in the chair beside my bed his eyes trained on the door. All of a sudden there was a bang on the door and I let out a high pitched shriek. Zack jumps up and in front of my bed facing the door. He puts his right hand towards me and I lace my fingers into his. The door bursts open and Zack relaxes a bit and sits down in the chair still holding my hand.

"Mom?" I say once I see who was at the door. She exhales a breath and races to my bedside and hugs me as if I was going to die in seconds. " Mom I'm fine. Why did you practically break down the door?" I saw with a smirk growing on my face.

" They said that you already.... Had one person in here. So I thought you were really sick. So I... Ran over here. Your father and I were worried about you honey." She panted. She squeezes me in the hug before she lets go. But it felt as if I was suffocating. When she lets go I look at her stomach and you can see a bump. I look away and down at Zack's and mine laced hands. He rubs circles in my palm with his thumb. I smile sadly towards him. He brings my hand up to his lips and kisses it gently.

He mouthes " I love you. " I smile and mouth back " I love you more. "

I feel my bed dip and I turn towards the movement. The morning sun rays shin through the crystal glass illuminating the white around the room. My mom is perched on the side of my bed with one hand on her stomach and the other on my leg. I retract my leg from her touch and she frowns at me.

" Honey, I know that you are mad at me but I'm sorry okay? I am not replacing her. She isn't coming back remember that okay?" She said as if she is making this better. But something inside me snapped.

" Get out. Get out now." I growl at her. " You have no business. You have none to be able to even say that. I don't care if it's true. But you brush it off and throw it around like you don't care. Well. I. Care. You are not welcome here. " She looks at me with deep sorrow and a hint of fury.

" Don't talk to me like that young lady." She snaps.

" Don't talk to my dead sister like that. Now you can go or I'll call the nurses saying that this lady is bothering me. " I snap right back.

She gets up grabbing her purse in the process and walks out the door. Zack squeezes my hand, " Don't you think that was a bit harsh?" He asks quietly, I look at him with watery eyes and he sighs and takes off his shoes.

" What are yo-" I start to say but he cuts me off with a kiss. He sits me up and sits behind me with his legs around me. I lean into him and he kisses my head. " I love you baby girl. "

" I love you more. " I say my eyes getting droopy. He holds me closer and I smell his cologne while dosing off.

*************************************

I wake up and feel large arms circled around me. I thought he would have gone home so he could go to sleep. Then I feel a rumble in his chest and hear a snore. I chuckle quietly to myself and snuggle into his chest. He groggily runs his hand through my hair.

" How did you sleep?" He asks rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

" Better than I have in years. You?" I smile.

" I'm glad I have that affect on you." He kisses my cheek. I stick out my tongue at him and he pokes my side. I raise my eyebrow at him. " You're not ticklish?!" He exclaims. I shake my head and smirk. " Come on every girl is ticklish it's just so cute. I may not be able to love you if you're not ticklish. " He smiles. But then I have an idea... What if he is ticklish? I poke his sides and he squirms in my touch. "So you're the ticklish one?"

" Lexi don't I'm warning you. " but then end came out in a laugh because I poke his side over and over again. " Okay okay I give up. " he laughs out. But I'm not done yet. I tickle his neck and he lets out a high pitch girl scream. " Okay that's it.." He smashes his lips to mine which makes my hands go straight from his neck to his hair. His hands go to my hips and he lifts me and turns me so that I'm facing him in his lap.

" Miss Numan? When you are ready you can go home whenever you want. " she smiles seeing us laughing and kissing.

" Thank you." I say " Where were we? Oh ya." Then I smash my lips back onto his.

Hey guys!!! So sorry it took me so long to update but I just stayed up real late typing this. Tired.

Here are the questions and answers I promised. LOVE YA. COMMENT AND VOTE IF YOU LIKE. Muah.

xxkatie123xx asked: " Cole, did you ever truly love Lexi?"

Cole: I don't think I ever did. I don't even know what true love is. I have never experienced it. I just want her to be my girlfriend so I can keep my reputation as the most popular guy. The most popular guy gets the most popular girl. It is just how it works. So behind her back I get what I actually need... She is just for show.

xxkatie123xx asked: " Lexi, what went through your mind when you found out your parents were going to have a new baby? Where there any warning signs?"

Lexi: I was shocked and hurt. I was shocked because it was the last thing that I thought would happen. I was hurt because how could they replace her? How do they think that I could love this baby like I would a sibling? I also felt guilty. I felt guilty because I don't think I could love this kid. I don't think I can do it, it would be like her. I think there were a few warning signs. They seemed all lovey dovey and I wanted them to cut the crap. I knew something was up. But I didn't think it was this bad.

xxkatie123xx asked: " Zack, how do you feel about Lexi?"

Cole: What do I feel about her? Where do I start? She has the biggest and most beautiful heart out of anyone I know. She could be the ugliest person on the earth but I would never stop loving her because she is the most beautiful on the inside. She has the brightest smile and she just lights up a room... Just like she does with my heart. When she is around I feel so much fuller, so much more myself. She makes me feel real, full, she is my other half. I was torn apart whenever she went with Cole. I have had so much jealousy towards him because he had the woman I loved. But I guess that was my fault. Anyway, I love her with all my heart and I will never stop.

Luna_44 asked: " What were you thinking Cole?!"

Cole: What was I thinking? It's none of your damn business! She doesn't give me what I want so I have to go find other girls to do the deeds. That's a done deal. It's a given. So now you can get a life and bury your nose into your own damn business.
