Chapter 24 (bite me)

Chapter 24------------------------------- Kristin and tanner had left pretty early in the reception. Kristin had indulged in the complimentary champagne and was telling everyone what tanner had in store for him once they reached the hotel room.... Quiet loudly. After Alex and max's awkward kiss she had sat at one of the many tables and watched the other couples spin around the dance floor. Coincidently Jordan and max had hit it off not long after that and continued to dance fairly close the entire night until Alex decided to retire herself to the hotel. She laid in bed that night listening to Jordan sigh over how 'dreamy' max was. Which he was a very handsome man but... She couldn't get a certain Irish man out of her thoughts. Around three am. Alex was begging for sleep when she decided to flip her phone open for the first time in two days.

( 12 new messages)

"the hell" Alex muttered rubbing her eyes.

All the messages were from the same number and all were along the lines of 'I'm sorry for what happened'

'please answer me' she read every similar message figuring it was Lee finally growing some guilt until she got to the last message at 12:09 am.

'goodnight lass'

--------------------------------------------

The next morning they woke early to catch the plane back home. Jordan and Max had spent most of the morning together and had exchanged numbers. On the flight back Alex kept going over the messages in her head. He was sorry about what happened meaning the kiss. And he wanted her to answer him. Most likely meaning he was worried from seeing her scars. She absentmindedly ran her hand over the upraised scars on her wrist.

" you're not gonna start that again are you?"

Alex jerked and looked over to find Jordan staring pointedly at her wrist as Alex tugged her sleeves down.

" no, I told you before it was just a stupid time in my life"

" you were hurting" Jordan shrugged before leaving her head back and closing her eyes.

Alex couldn't argue so she flipped through a magazine while Jordan slept through the flight this time.

When it finally touched down they rushed off and was eager to get home.

" I hope Rambo is ok" Alex muttered.

" he'll be fine he does good with his doggy door"

Alex nodded but mentally urged the cab driver to go faster down her road. When her house finally came into view she sighed.

"see ya at school tomorrow"

She said waving as she hopped out of the car and bounded up the walkway. As she was unlocking the door she smiled as she heard the familiar loud bark from the other side.

She threw open the door and dropped her luggage as Rambo done his usual love attack thing when she's been gone for more than a day. Before she knew it she was on the floor laughing as the big beast sat on top of her eagerly licking her face.

"ok ok, yes I love you too" she mummered through a closed mouth.

After her touching return home she was all set for a night home alone. Her and Rambo were snuggled on the couch with a movie and a tub of popcorn when alex's eyelids started the get heavy. The last thing Alex remembers was a policeman on the screen yelling at Sylvester stilone 'Rambo'.

And her precious dog looked at her in confusion and barked at the screen------------------------------------ the next morning Alex woke up to Jordan beating on her door. She was still on the couch and Rambo was sprawled out over her lap weighing her down with his dead weight since he was fast asleep.
