"what? john, it's me, alexander." alex lifts john's chin up, only to have his hand be smacked away.

"can you get him out of here?" john looks up at the doctor.

"wait, no, john!" alex pleads. "it's me, i'm here!"

"sir, i'm going to have to ask you leave before i have to call security." alex's face drops, he's now crying.

he leaves the hospital without protest.

~...~

"alex, where'd you come from?" maria sits up from the couch when she hears the front door open. "did washington give you a ride home?"

alexander shakes his head. he walks over to the couch and grabs a pillow. he's now sitting in between peggy and maria.

"i came from the hospital. i walked."

"you walked? lex, why didn't you just call me to come pick you up-,"

"john is awake." he interrupts.

"wait, really!?" peggy exclaims. "why aren't you there right now!?"

"he doesn't remember me," tears fall down his cheeks. "he doesn't remember me!" alex wails.

peggy and maria exchange glances, they're now holding a sobbing alex.

"lexi, i'm sure it's just something short term. he's obsessed with you, he wouldn't just forget." maria soothes, rubbing circles on his back.

alexander sniffs, wiggling his nose and wiping his cheeks. (AHA dog) his eyes are bloodshot, his cheeks are red, and he just looks like a mess.

"ria and i were about to order pizza, you want anything?" peggy asks.

"can you get me an extra large pepperoni pizza?" alex sniffles.

"an extra large?" maria laughs nervously. "lex, are you going to be able to finish that all by yourself?"

alexander slowly turns his head to look at maria.

"can you get me an extra large pepperoni pizza?" alex repeats.

"copy that." maria pats his head. (AAHAHAHHAHA dog.)

"i'm going to go take a shower." alex says.

alexander trudges up the stairs, rubbing his eyes while doing so. he gets to his bedroom and steps into the shower stall, turning on the hot water. he stands under it, not moving.

he frowns, recalling how john pushed him away.

he felt neglected.

the small man sighs, then grabs all of the products he uses to get clean. he spends almost twenty minutes in the shower before deciding that he probably killed the little mermaid and decided to get out. he put on lotion and combed his wavy hair into a messy bun before walking to his comfortable bed and getting under the covers.
