Used To Be Lonely

Chap 14

Alexis' POV

I walked into the living room and saw someone there. He has tattoos all over his body. "Uh oh," I said. "BRITNEY!" He kicked me. "That didn't feel good." I got up. "Like I'm letting you touch me."

"What?" asked Britney as she walked in.

I put on my gloves. "Do you not see the djinn in the room?" I asked.

"Don't let him touch you," said Britney making her way to the closet.

"Oh, I'm not that stupid," I said.

"Try to hold it off," said Britney rummaging in the closet.

"I'll try," I said. "Come on." The djinn came at me but I dodge him and kicked him in the chin. "Britney!"

"Here," said Britney. She threw me a silver knife that had blood all over it. "Try that."

"It's a bad day for you," I said. Blake walked into the living room. "Go back into the kitchen!" It was too late. The djinn had touched Blake's arm. "No!" I stabbed the guy and he fell to the floor. The front door was kicked in. I ran over to Blake. "No, no. Please."

"Here, try this," said Dean handing me a syringe.

"What is this?" I asked cradling Blake's neck. His eyes were closed. "What if we're too late?"

"It's the antidote for the djinn poisen," said Dean. "It's never too late."

"Okay," I said. I injected the antidote into Blake's arm and pulled out. After a few moments Blake opened his eyes. "Oh, thank god."

"What happened?" asked Blake. "I had a very bad dream."

"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked.

"Yeah," said Blake.

"Sit on the couch and we can," I said. Blake did. I stood up. "Britney, do you think you can put Sapphire to bed and help everyone else clean up?"

"Yeah," said Britney as she disappeared into the kitchen.

I looked at Sam and Dean. "Someone owes me a new door," I said.

"We'll fix it up for you right now," said Sam.

"Thanks," I said. I sat next to Blake. "Want to tell me what happened?"

"It was just like every other regular day. Then, you came home and told me we needed to break up. I asked you why and your reply killed me," said Blake. "You told me you and Tony are going to get back together and get married and live in this house. It's like I was living my worst nightmare." He looked at me. "I didn't want to lose you."

"Blake, you're not going to lose me," I said. "Never will that ever happen." I kissed him on the cheek. "I'm your girlfriend and only yours."

Blake's POV

"I love that you always reassure me," I said.

"I'm just stating facts," said Alexis.

"Alexis, I'm done with your door," said Dean.

"Alright," said Alexis. "Thanks guys." They left. "Let's go upstairs and talk."

"I agree," I said. We walked up to our bedroom. She put her gun under her pillow. "Sometimes I'm afraid you're going to shoot me."

"I could never. It's only for protection." She laid down in bed. "Sometimes I wonder if I made the right choice."

"About?"

"Adopting a child when I just got a job." Alexis turned on her side to look at me. "I mean working from nine to five and always having to be on call. I barely get to see you and Sapphire a lot anymore."

"Alexis, whatever it is, I'm sure we'll work through it. We can get through this. I know we can."

She laid on her back and looked at the ceiling. "I don't know." She sighed. "It's weird though because my dad was actually right about Tony and I when he gave me consent to be with him."

"Was your dad on drugs or something?" I looked at her. "I mean he was nineteen and you were thirteen."

"And I didn't know better," she chimed in. "I was young, naive, and I thought I was in love." She turned on the TV and Sugar Daddies was on LifeTime. She sat up and looked at the TV. "I don't see why she would do something like that." I sat up and looked at her. "Her choices made her lose something so wonderful in life."

"What was that?"

"Her boyfriend. Someone who loves and cares for her." Alexis looked at me. "Now look where she is."

"How do you know that? The movie is just starting."

"I've seen it."

"Tell me about it."

"Okay." She looked at me. "The sugar daddy, he pays her three thousand a month to pay for tuition. He also got her a car. She got into an accident and she wanted her dad to fix it. Her dad found the registration and went to the guy's house and he found her." I looked at Alexis. "Her dad is very disappointed and left. Her sugar daddy dumps her."

"If you ask me, she made some bad choices from the beginning."

"Actually, her friend got her into that mess," said Alexis. "So her friend's the one to blame." I sighed. "And she went crawling back to him with one of her friends."

"Okay, Alexis. Let's stop about the movie." I looked at her. "That movie is just wrong." I moved her bangs out of the way and gave her a kiss. "I promise you that I'm here for you and you're nothing like those girls in the movie."

"Well, I don't want to be like those girls in the movie." She looked at me. "I want to be me."

"You are you and I'm glad to have met you," I said. "To me." We stayed up all night talking and she fell asleep on me. "You are always going to be someone special. Learn something new about you everyday."
