I finished my drawing while I sat with Scar, waiting for her to finish with her clients. Lux came over a few more times and asked if he could see my art work so I showed him the full sketchbook.

He let out little sounds of excitement with every turn of a page. His excitement made my chest feel warm. I loved seeing people enjoy my work.

" Do you have any copies of your artwork on you so I can show the rest of the team tomorrow? " Lex asked.

I hesitated slightly but then thought about my highschool days when I had a cheaply made tattoo gun and would practice using it ( not on people of course I'm not that idiotic ).

I might as well share my artwork, hell maybe I'll be able to start working again!

I opened my sketchbook and went to the back of it where I had some photo copies of my art. I handed the pages to Lux and smiled as he grinned excitedly.

" Thank you so much!! You're name is Arrow right? "

I simply nodded in reply. Lux grinned, ruffled my hair, and then ran to the back room excitedly.

" M'kay A, I'm done here...I'll walk home with you " Scar said softly, looking at me with those soft blue eyes.

The thought of having to talk to Alex tomorrow after the whole ordeal with his bird really shook me up. Scar walked home with me but every word she said passed in one ear and out the other.

All I could think about was the blood running down Al's face and the sad looks he gave me.

The next morning was pretty uneventful. I woke up to silence and a calming atmosphere. I got up and made my breakfast and began to draw a bit.

Within a couple hours I got a call from Alex. I answered the phone with a soft hum.

" Hello Al " I murmured.

Alex let out a sigh of relief.

" Can you come over? " he asked quickly.

I thought about it for a second before shrugging.

" Yeah okay send me your address. I'll be there soon " I mumbled before hanging up.

I quickly ran to my bedroom and got dressed in some tight jeans, a sweater and a jacket to ward off the snow. Soon enough I was out the door and following the directions Al texted to me.

I made it to his house quickly and looked at the building before approaching the door. The walls were a nice off white color and the wood porch was a soft blue to contrast the walls.

A wood fence surrounded the premises and a car was parked in the driveway. I approached the house, stepping up to the front door and knocking gently.

The door opened within seconds and a nervous looking Alex stood before me.

" Al? " I asked softly.

He didn't reply with words but rather with actions.

He grabbed me and pulled me to him. His lips slammed against mine causing fireworks to explode behind my eyelids.

I gasped slightly into the soft boy's lips which I haven't kissed in oh so many years. His hands went underneath me and lifted me up into his arms.

I wrapped my legs around his waist and grabbed his face with my hands. I kissed him roughly and bit at his lip.

I never thought I'd kiss Alex again and now that his lips we're on mine I couldn't believe it. This must be a dream right? One crazy dream?

The softness of his lips contrasted greatly to my bitten and chapped ones. His body heat warmed up my frozen body and brought everything to life inside me.

Alex slammed me against the wall, his hand resting on my sides and his thigh between my legs holding up my body.

He started to lift my shirt over my head, causing anxiety to spill into my mind.

" A-Al " I tried to speak while he continued to kiss me.

I pushed away from the needy boy who had finally gotten my shirt off. He pouted and whined as he kissed at my neck. My body began to shake slightly.

" Alex please I-I can't " I whimpered.

Alex froze and pulled away. He frowned and stroked my cheek. He bit his lip, leaning into my neck.

" Sorry... " He whispered under his breath.

I sighed slightly, " It's fine...I just need to breathe " I replied.

He held me gently, stroking my sides to help calm my nerves. His hands shook slightly against me.

" C-Can you p-put me down? " I murmured.

He set me down gently and frowned.

" I'm sorry... " Al whispered, biting his lip.

I distanced myself slightly from the shaking man. He seemed nervous and out of sorts, as if he didn't understand what he was doing.

" Al? It's okay love.. " I said softly, stroking the poor boys cheek.

Alex fell into me, shaking and crying as he held me close. My body froze up at the unfamiliar tears coming from him.

I guided the sobbing boy over to a couch and sat down with him. I cooed softly to him, trying to calm his soft cries.

He eventually calmed down and clung to me. His grip was scarilly concerning.

" She hurts me so much Row so so much " he whimpered.

My heart clenched at his words. This man has been reduced to tears because of a woman's abuse and can't do anything about it.

What do you do when a girl hits you and the police don't believe you? You can't exactly hit her back.

" It's okay Al it's ok...I'll make sure she doesnt hurt you anymore " I murmured.

Alex calmed down significantly. His heart rate slowed to a normal pace and his tears stopped completely.

I can't believe a girl could be such a bitch to hit a guy...what could she be pissed about?? They're not even dating!

Well one thing's for sure. Thay bitch is never touching Al again.
