Alexia Eden(82)

“I won’t say a word, thank you Alexia…for everything. I don’t know why you saved me after everything I’ve done to you.”

“I did it because we are alike…we are both lost souls looking for a purpose….” I tell him and he gives me a sad nod.

“We need to get back.” I say as he gets up. He says he will get rid of the rogues bodies after he takes me home.

We start walking through the bushes when the pain starts to make itself known, the pain I took away from Greg. I fall to the ground grabbing my neck then grabbing my leg. It feels as if my flesh is being ripped apart but there are no scratches on my leg or neck. Greg looks down at me and he immediately realizes what’s happening to me.

“God No Alexia, why did you heal me if you knew you were going to take the pain?” he picks me up bridal style and walks with me back to his apartment.

“It’s fine, it hurts only for a few seconds then it disappears, it’ll be gone in no time…” I say through gritted teeth.

He holds me tight against his chest as the pain subsides. I hear car doors slamming and I see Ronny climb out of her car as Drake and Jax climb out of Jax’s car, they all look angry. I tell Greg to put me down and he listens. The boys come storming up to us and I stand in front of Greg.

“What the fuck did you do to her?” Drake yells.

“Didn’t we have this conversation already? I told you to stay away from her!” Jax roars making both Greg and myself flinch.

They storm up towards him. “No stop! Don’t hurt him! He helped me, rogues attacked us…he killed them.” I say as I push against Jax and Drakes chest, I can see shock in their eyes and I see their anger fade.

“When was this? Your mom told Amber he took you? What’s going on?” Ronny declares.

“She’s not my mother…and no he didn’t… he saved me from her.” I say looking back at Greg and his face turns from shock to gratitude.

I look back at my friends and they look confused.

“You’re coming home with me while they sort the bodies out, let’s go.” Ronny says as she tugs at my hands.

I turn and give Greg a tight hug and he whispers thanks. I hear the boys growl from behind me but I don’t really care at this moment, my body is so weak and void of emotion that I just want to sleep and not wake up for a while. Drake and Jax attempt to step closer to me but I push past them and walk to Ronny’s car without so much as another glance in their direction.

We climb in her car and leave. I look out the side of my window as she drives away. I lean my head against the glass of the window and close my eyes as the tears fall.

“You okay?” Ronny says as she pats my leg.

I avoid answering by replying with a question, “Can we stop at my place to fetch some of my things?”

“Sure babe.” She says quietly.

We arrive at the trailer park; I notice some lights on in the house. I get out the car and walk up to the front door; opening it I hear many voices. I see Frankie, Scarlet and Amber sitting around facing a crying Georgina on the couch. Her face has black mascara running down from the tears; Frankie has an angry look on his face but looks relieved when he sees me.

Georgina gets up and starts running towards me but I back away lifting my hand to halt her.

“I’m so sorry my baby, I don’t know what I was thinking! Did he hurt you? I can’t believe I did that.” she starts crying harder and usually my heart would break and I would hug her to ease her pain but I don’t think I have any heart left to give to her.

“Don’t touch me. You don’t know what you were thinking? That’s because you weren’t thinking! You were too busy getting high! You were so quick to give me away for drugs, to get your next fix! And no he didn’t hurt me…he saved me!” I shout out.

“S…saved you?” she asks softly looking up from her hands clearly confused.

Yes! From YOU!” I start to walk away to my room but I don’t get far she pulls me in for a hug but I just stand there stiffly not hugging her back.

“Please don’t leave me…” she cries.

“You already lost me Georgina…you don’t want me around and I don’t want to be around while you continue down this path. I’m not you daughter so I’m not really your problem anymore am I?” I ask as she moves away to look at me with her trembling hand over her mouth trying to stop the sobs from escaping.

“You will always be my baby girl Lex, don’t say that you aren’t…” she whimpers.

“No. You made it clear I’m not yours and that …James… wasn’t my father. So Georgina ….if you aren’t my mother and James wasn’t my father…who is?” I shout as the tears escape.
