        Alexis walks up to Alon's porch and as soon as she was about to knock on his door, Alexis is greeted with Alon's bright smile. Alon's expressions of happiness are enough to make tears vaporize, he's truly a ray of sunshine. Alexis lets out a small smile and hugs Alon trying her best to hold back tears from the news Liza gave her. Alexis' grip on Alon begins to tighten as she slowly closes her eyes, Alon took notice of this and pushed Alexis away and grabbed her arms.
      "Alexis, what happened on the way here? Did you get hurt? I'll fucking hunt them down, tell me their name." Alon demanded.
"I'd much rather tell you inside than outside." Alexis deeps her tone and takes off his hands from her arms. "Alright. Fair enough. I'll get some snacks just go on ahead and make yourself at home." Alon opened the door for Alexis and walked in after her. Alexis sits herself down onto Alon's sofa as she begins to cry softly. Alon returns with a tray with two cups of green tea and some chocolate chip cookies, he sets down the tray and sits besides Alexis. "Alright. Tell me what's wrong." Alon asks as he reaches for his cup and starts to drink. Alexis starts to shake, "Liza got intel saying that Zarron is going to be going on a date with someone this week. Alon, I just don't understand. I love him so much and I try my best to be good for him, he flirts with me sometimes and every time he does it gives me hope. But there's always something in the way." Alexis shivers and takes a bite of a cookie while sobbing.
Alon takes notice of Alexis movements, so he decides to get her a blanket to cover her with.
"I'll be back." Alon puts his cup down as he gets up and gets an extra blanket. The blanket was light blue and soft, something that'll keep Alexis warm.
Alon returns to Alexis to see her sleeping on the sofa, he lets out a gently smile and puts the blanket over her.
"He isn't worth your time. You deserve so much better, you just have to wait." Alon whispers and proceeds to pick up the tray to bring back to the kitchen. "I'll give her an hour to rest, surely that should be enough-." Alon thought to himself but gets distracted by Alexis' phone notifications going off. He goes over to see if it's anything important, maybe a family emergency. But no, it was Zarron.
