Aaron

As a person you know when you have found something that is absolute. I thought Alexis was going to call me a freak for stalking her ; but she didn't, I thought she wasn't going to give me a shot but she did and I don't want to mess things up. For the first time in a long time Dave and I are on the same page. Before the main event he came clean about his abuse, both at school and when he was staying in CapeTown. He also asked me if he could change schools and I said yes.

The wedding was amazing. I kind of went back to the day I said ; I do to Laura and the pain that came with saying; I will give you a divorce. I thought that was it for me that I was doomed to have failed relationships... until Lexi happened on a day I had given up all hope. The emergency landing was a blessing in disguise. I saw what she did for Dave and I will say it again I don't want to mess things up. I knew she had switched her phone off but I knew she was fine because I talked to her before the wedding reception.

I thought Mary was going to be at the wedding but Mia came in her place. She kissed me by surprise; and I pushed her away without kissing her back . Blake also tried her luck too and I rebuffed her. I called Dave's phone and he picked up after the first ring.

"Daddy ."

"Buggy are you still with Ali?"

"Nope she wasn't feeling well so she went back to the hotel. Dad I saw Mia kissing you."

"I didn't kiss her back . "

"I know we all saw her walk of disappointment."

"I'm going to see Alexis . Will you be okay?"

"Yes I'm with uncle Caleb and Bryan. I love you see you later."

I hung up and made my way out. I got into one of the cars and I was driven to the hotel. I took the elevator to her room . I opened the door and walked in.

"Lexi?"

There was no answer and the hotel room was quiet which was worrying . I walked into the bedroom and all the cupboards were cleaned out. I started panicking because Alexis didn't have the key to my room and it was as clear as daylight that she had left ,what was as dark as night was the reason why. I changed my phone number from visible to concealed and called Lexi. It was already eleven in the evening... where could she have gone to this late?

Before I could call her my phone buzzed with a message from my sister . I opened it and it was a fifteen minute video. I pressed play and saw a montage of me kissing all my exes and most recently footage of Mia kissing me. The end of the video had a message in bold red letters saying; stay away from Aaron you are not his type . Go be with your kind.

Immediately I knew my sister was up to no good. Alexis did nothing to her. Part of me was scared that she had gone back to being troubled like before. She had mental breakdown at work the other day and she broke furniture and Windows because I told her she couldn't tell me who to be with and I didn't care if she didn't approve. This time I care . She had DPd and she was cleared.. I think its her fear of losing me that's what sparked her behavior the last time.

I called my sister and she picked up .

" Ron I showed your girlfriend or is she your ex now. "

She was slurring I switched on the tracking app and it located her at my apartment.

"Mary are you inebriated right now ?"

" ooh you sound so prim and proper ."

"Mary Hannah Brooks do not sass me. "

"Oh yes sir. I won't. "

"Get some rest and I will call you tomorrow. "

"Fine. Love you bye ."

She hung up and I looked around the room and everything made me miss Lexi. I saw something shiny by the bedside lamp and I picked it up only to find that it was Lexi's bracelet . It was a bracelet that had a golden angel and nothing else. She loves her bracelet and call it fate but there must be a reason why something always brings me back to her in a good way.

The drive back was an hour away but I was tired... I heard the boys come back from the wedding reception. I grabbed the bracelet and walked out .David hugged me goodnight and Caleb called it a night too except for Bryan. I reached for a bottle of water in the mini bar and we sat across each other. He was looking at me angrily.

" Don't look at me that way. I didn't kiss Mia back."

"I know but she doesn't. Have

You called her?"

"What if she doesn't want to talk to me ? I have already messed up and a I can't leave David. "

"I know ... "

I stood up and he followed suit but headed for the door.

"By the way Ryan your fake angry face is convincing ."

"Night see you Monday bud."

"Yes ."

"Don't screw this up she's special."

Bryan left.

I unlocked my phone and sent Lexi two songs and then I called her. She picked up after three rings.

" Don't hang up. I love you and I'm sorry babe. I will deal with

Mary. She is just scared of losing me and Dave... more than that I am scared of losing you. "

Something felt off . It was still pouring outside and Lexi would have cut in during my apology .

" Good evening sir. You are speaking to Doctor Perelli. Are you in anyway related to Alexis?"

My heart started beating fast. I was calm but fearful.

"Yes. She is my wife. We had a misunderstanding and she walked out on me without giving me a chance to explain. What's going on? "

"There has been an accident. My brother saw the crash . He managed to save your wife but the driver died..."

I started looking for my car keys

"Which hospital is she in ?"

"Saint Andrews she's in ICU ."

I hung up and ran to Caleb's room and luckily the door wasnt locked .

"Caleb ... Caleb wake up Lexi is in trouble. "

Caleb got up looking confused

" what's going on?"

"Lexi was involved in an accident she's in ICU."
