Luke POV:
It has been an hour since I was standing outside watching Alex and Dean dancing around their driveway. An hour since I saw the Alex I first laid my eyes on. An hour since I had a realization that I was in love with her.
I couldn’t stop thinking about her, she filled my mind and consumed my thoughts. The way she moved, the way she talked, the way her cheeks turn red when she gets embarrassed, the way she bites her lip when she is thinking about something, the way her eyes light up when she smiles, and the way she looks at me with those big brown eyes. I loved her eyes, her smile, her nose, her ears, her hair, and her body. I loved everything about her. She is just so amazing and true, she doesn’t care what anyone thinks about her and I love that. I love her.
My thoughts were interrupted when I felt my phone buzzing in my pocket. I have been sitting in my room since she drove away. I was fighting to get my phone out of my pocket, when I finally got it out I saw Alex’s name flashing across the screen. I smiled to myself as I answered the phone.
“Hey babe” I said happily.
“Hey” She had been crying, I could hear it in her voice.
I totally forgot why she left in the first place, and that was to tell Dean that Roman is going to die in a week. Then I was overwhelmed with sadness as I remembered the scene in the hospital room with them. Alex crying, Roman crying, me crying, the nurses crying who flooded in after hearing Alex yelling. But what hit me the most was when Roman got out of his bed and held her. Alex looked so little kneeling on the floor, then Roman got down and pulled her into him. He was so thin and weak but he was able to get down and hold her. He loved her so much and he didn’t want to leave her, but he was dying, he had no choice but to leave her. She was so broken and he seemed so put together. How did he do that? How was he able to stay so put together? He was the one dying, shouldn’t he be crying right along with her? I didn’t understand.
“Hello? Luke? Are you there?” She said a bit louder. I forgot I was on the phone with her when the memory flooded back in.
“Yeah, I’m here. How did it go with Dean?” I asked.
“Not so well, we got into a fight at the diner, then when I told him about Roman he stormed off. I tried stopping him but I couldn’t. I am on my way home to talk to Melody. Can you meet me at my house?” She sounded to put together. She was defiantly not okay.
“Yeah, of course” I said as I walked out of my room heading down the stairs.
“Thanks, I will be home in 2 minutes.” She said.
“I will be waiting in your driveway.”
“Okay, see you then.” She hung up the phone as I was about to walk out the door. I was almost out the door when Jai stopped me. “Where are you going?” He asked walking into the living room.
“I am going to Alex’s. She needs me.” I said to him in the doorway.
“Is everything okay?” He asked.
“I don’t know. She said that she and Dean got into a fight then when she told him about Roman he walked off. I guess she tried to stop him but it didn’t work. She asked me to go over so that is what I am doing now.” I said looking back to him.
“Okay, well text me if you need anything.” He said as he sat down on the couch.
After I got home from the hospital I told him about what happened with Roman and Alex. I didn’t want to but I was upset because she was so hurt and it hurt me because she was hurt, so I told Jai. I knew he wouldn’t tell anyone so I told him and no one else.
