Alexia is Hurt!

While Alexia was gone, i was pulled away by our siblings. when i returned i saw the two of them. "Alexia? you alright? What happened?"

His son. Carson had a son. My- my Carson. I sigh and shake off whatever that emotion I was masking truly was. I look over at my brother comfortingly. "Hey, Seth." The strain on my ribcage was more sharp than ever as I called to my comfort. My pillar during this time. The knives in my chest pierced a thousand times more, but this time it was at my heart too. "I'm... better..." The lie stabs into me even more. "Actually not at all. I'm worse. Running- not good for injuries. I got to the Christmas trees when I fell. But I got back. This is Ben." I point to the boy beside me. "An old-- friend...'s son. Something's up with his dad."

I smiled after her first comment. "glad to see you made it." After she introduced this other guy, i looked down at my feet, then made a smirking face at him. "Hello."

After propping myself up for too long, I fall over onto the pillow and scream out in pain. I wasn't as strong as I pretended to be. "Seth! Please... water...." I practically shout at him. I didn't mean to scream, but everything was putting so much weight on me. This new info on Carson's mysterious disappearance, the note with my name on it, what I was supposed to do about it... and the pain itself. [i]I just wish I had listened to my brother and stayed close... or even better, let him go with me.

I rush to the sick, filling the first glass i could grab, handing it to her. "Settle down, little one."

I smile at Seth and thank him repeatedly as I down the glass/ My throat stopped burning, and I thank him again. Hearing Ben say all this and take my hand, I squeeze his and reply even more calmly than before. This time, though, it was genuine. "I'm sorry you lost your dad. And your parents. I'm so glad that he took you in, and I'll do whatever I can do to help you during this hard time. I can do whatever you need me to. Whether that's helping you or anything else, I'll do it. Just give me the order." I look up at Seth and give a smile. There seems to be a warmth radiating from him, and it seems to help me heal even faster.

I smile back at her. "There's my little sister. too hot-headed to let a bit of pain stop her." I turned to the window. The shades were drawn. "Lex, would you like to see the sun?" I tied the curtains up part way, without waiting for an answer. More sunlight seeped in, brightening the area.

I nod quickly ad smil as I see the sun. It alway made me happy, but now, it brought it healing powers. I could have just been imaginng it, but I couldhave swornthat I saw somethnig next to it. Either way, it vomforted me. A giant ball of armth at all tmes. As I soak up the rays of sunshine, my thoughts turn to my broher. Seth who knows me better than I knowmyself.My Seth. lay back sown aganst the soft pillow and mumble something about telling Seth to wake me up and enchiladas when I hit the sack.

I was confused at what she said. Wake her up? did she mean now or later. I shrugged and smiled down at her, she was sleeping peacefully. "Have a nice rest."

After about three days of healing, I felt a lot better. I spent all my time awake with Ben, and he has become a true friend. When he spontaneously asks me to call Lex, I simply nod. "Long as I can call you Ben," I say, smiling. "I think I should be better soon. But I don't think I'll ever be able to use that rock wall again," I half joke, half mean seriously. "Is there anything else you wanna ask, cousin?" I started calling him "cousin" once I realized that we were related in that way.
