Chapter Two

Paige and Alex do not get a break for the rest of their shifts. It seems like everyone came to the movies that night. By the time they closed up, Paige was really worried about Alex because she continues to keep space out. After they finish closing up and change out of their work uniforms, the two of them started walking toward the main entrance of the mall. Paige looks over at Alex who has her hands in her jean pockets.

Paige: Lexi, do you want my brother Dylan to give you a ride home?
Alex: No, I can walk home.
Paige: Lexi, its February and its pouring down rain outside.
Alex: I like the rain, Paige.
Paige: Its too cold! You’ll end up getting sick, baby!
Alex: I’ll be fine. The cold rain will wake me up, which is a good thing because I have a huge pile of homework to get done and I have to study for that Biology test we have tomorrow.
Paige: Lexi, come on. Let Dylan give you a ride home.
Alex: Paige, I’m going to walk home. I need some time to myself.
Paige: Fine, but call my cell phone when you get home to let me know you made it home safe.
Alex: Ok, honey.

Paige and Alex kiss each other good bye on the lips. Then Paige walks out to her brother’s car and Alex starts to walk home in the rain. Paige gets into the passenger seat and puts her seatbelt on. Dylan notices that Paige is watching Alex walk away with a worried look on her face.

Dylan: Paige, is something wrong?
Paige: I am worried about Alex. She kept spacing out at school and work today!
Dylan: Did you ask her about it, Sis?
Paige: Yeah, she said she was tired.
Dylan: Did she want a ride home?
Paige: No, she said she needed some time alone, but she agreed to call my cell phone and let me know she made it home safely.

Alex gets home and text messages’ Paige because she does not want to talk to anyone. It was bad enough that her mom was in the hospital and she had to come home to the apartment and spend a night alone with Chad. Alex goes right to her bedroom and changes into a pair of grey PJ bottoms and a grey night shirt. She falls asleep reading the novel for English class.

The next day at school, Paige is looking out of the M.I. lab door waiting for Alex to come to class, but she never shows up. Paige takes her cell phone out of her purse and dials Alex’s cellphone number.

Alex: Yo, what up?
Paige: Lexi, why are you not at school?
Alex: I’m opening up the movie theater today.
Paige: It’s a school day, Lexi!
Alex: I know that, but I need the money. Rent is due on Friday.
Paige: Your mom works too, Lexi. She can pay the rent.
Alex: No, she can’t, Paige!
Paige: Why not?
Alex: She is in the hospital.
Paige: What is wrong with Emily?
Alex: I can’t talk right now. I need to take a shower, then get read
