Okay, due to popular request and the fact Fanfic.com is being a stupid I'm posting chapter 11 here for now. If you haven't been following the story on Fanfiction.net this probably won't make sense.
-----
Sorry this chapter is a little short. I decided to break it into two chapters since they will be conveying two different moods. This is chapter deals with more of thinking then describing so the setences are kinda choppy. Also, there is always a chance and Idea hits me and I might go back and enhance this chapter or past ones should the need arise.

This is told from Alex's POV and takes place were the last two chapters left off.

Chapter 11

"Marco, we need to talk." I started.

"I know. Alex, I'm sorry." He said. He was the one who felt bad. After what I had called him and Marco was the one to apologize. I didn't understand him.

"I shouldn't have said that." He continued.

How could he be so calm and relaxed? Why was he doing this? I almost preferred screaming and fighting. I knew how to deal with that, but this. This was new.

I looked down at my shoes. I couldn't look him in the eye. I felt so bad about what I had said to him. "I'm sorry." I managed to get out, "I didn't mean to be so..." I didn't finish. I already felt I was sounding stupid and cheesy. I figured he'd get the drift.

"Alex, we have to figure this out." He said. His voice was panicky again but I could tell he was trying to hide it.

"Figure what out?" I asked suddenly. I could feel myself getting defensive again and I was trying so hard to stop myself.

"Us." Marco replied. I could hear the concern in his voice and I let it sooth me. I figured if he cared I shouldn't fight it.

"What is there to figure out?" I asked. My voice wasn't harsh but sad.

"The baby." Marco said taking a step closer to me, "Alex, we can do this."

"Do what?" I was suddenly scared. What idea did he have?

Suddenly Marco seemed taken aback, "Alex, you are keeping it. Right?"

I couldn't say anything. I didn't know how to answer.

"You were looking at abortion?" Marco suddenly blurted out.

"No." I quickly replied. I knew I wouldn't have it in me to do that.

"Adoption?" Marco questioned.

"No." I said quickly again, "I dunno." I changed, "I don't know what I'm going to do, Marco. Do you think I can talk care of a kid?"

"What about me, Alex? Do I even get a choice or a say in this?" Marco was gesturing as he spoke. He was getting worked up again. I could see him taking deep breaths trying to calm himself back down.

"What would you do, Marco?" I shot back. I was trying not to sound upset or angry but my voice was rising again.

He shook his head, "I dunno."

There was silence for a moment. I was thinking so hard to find something to say. I was suggling...everything sounded stupid in my head and I wasn't about to set him off again.

"Okay," Marco started. I could tell he was still trying to figure this out, "Let's just deal with this one step at a time."

I looked at him. I still had no idea what he had in mind, but I was ready to listen to him. I decided to trust him. I nodded to show my approval. Marco took a step forward so he was in arms length of me. I looked back down at my shoes again. It was so difficult to make eye contact. He reached out and took my hand. My first reaction was to pull my hand back but I resisted it and let him take it.

"Okay, one step at a time." He repeated taking my other hand too. I nodded my head.

"One step at a time."

There are going to be a lot of chapters that deal with just Marco and Alex, but don't worry. There will also be lots of chapters that deal with Paige and Dylan too. The next chapter is going to deal with other characters besides just Marco and Alex. Hazel should be in it...and maybe Paige depending how I decide to do this. I will be doing more chapters with just the character's thoughts too. Also, I hadn't really planned on doing this but I might be brining in other character's POVs into the story too. Such as Paige's and Dylan's. Due to the fact we should all know exactly what they are thinking too. Also, things are getting really busy with me so updates are going to start getting a little slow for about a month. I'm really sorry. But I will still keep trying to write as often as possible.
