(OOC: After Driven Under and immediately after Coward's Game) Alexis ran away from him.. left him in the hallway. She even forgot her books laying on the ground. Her eyes were blood red and her face was drenched. She even had snot running from her nose. Not a pretty sight. Alexis ran to her locker to get her car keys to her Beetle... she hadn't driven it in while, but knew she was getting rid of Gabriel's car one way or another. When she opened her locker a piece of paper fell out to her feet. It had David's name, number, address and a smiley face. He was a friend. Alexis barely knew him.. didn't do anything for him, and he jumped in front of a bullet for her. She got out of her way to make Gabriel Happy.. and the very night Reira shows up at her door.. no consideration at all about Alexis.. chose Reira... chose a married girl over her. So she had only Victor and David as friends. Right now, she didn't want to see Victor, 'cause she didn't know him well enough and she wasn't ready to tell him that his friend is the biggest douche bag she had ever met. Well, poor David. He was just going to have to get an ear full.. She pulled out her BlackBerry and would call him. If he answered she would state who she was and that she was heading over to his place.. if he didn't she would leave the same message on his voice mail. Either way she was going to hang up instantly after. Alexis would drive as fast as she could to get to his place... when she got to his door, she knocked impatiently. Her eyes were still wet from her earlier encounter with Gabriel. |

David pressed the button on his phone, shutting it off and sighing. Things had not gone well at all. He could tell just by the sound of her voice. He sat up, grabbing the remote and shutting off his projector, the TV screen on the wall closing down. He stood, tossing the remote on the table and coming to his feet. His house- or should he say, this house that he was currently in- was large, but not multi million-dollar, like the one that was currently being renovated. This one was million dollar, but it had about twelve rooms, where as the other had about eighty to a hundred.
He stretched, walking to the kitchem and beginning to boil some tea. The girl would need it. He got out some blankets, setting them on the couch before hearing a car screech into the driveway.
Uh oh- she had gotten here in literal record time. Not a good sign.
He went over to the door, opening it immediately.
"Hey, come on in."

He opened the door and Alexis cried harder at the sight of him. She was scared for everything.. she wasn't used to going up to people and telling them what happened to her.. This was new for her.
She rushed in and wrapped her arms around him tightly. Her face soaking his shirt.
"He *Exhales* Doesn't *Inhales* Care!" Alexis literally didn't think she had cried this hard before. She cried hard when Li left both times.. but this was like a plague spreading across her body. Making her bones shake.
"I-I-I Can't...Amount!" the lump in her throat was painful and her face was sore from rubbing it. She lost her grip on David and fell to her knees. Her hand grasping at the floor...thne her right hand reaching up and held tight to her chest.
"It hurts...Oh God it fucking hurts."

Davids eyebrows shot up as she grasped onto him, pain immediately coming to his heart. He didnt even have to hear the words she spoke to understand. As she fell to her knees, he crouched down, putting a hand on her back and rubbing softly. Concern etched his features as he watched her cry. She had seemed so strong before- they had only met once or twice, and both times, though she did have things buried deep, she had an inner strength. This though- it broke his heart. He felt something else with his sadness, a feeling boiling up inside him to near bursting as a face hovered before him, laughing as he ployed and pulled the strings of everyones heart.
'Gabriel.'
His right hand rested on her back as his left went under her legs, picking her dead weight from the floor as though she had a total mass of zero. He kicked the door closed, bringing her deeper into his house and sitting with her on the couch, her small, curled frame pressing against his. He reached over and grabbed the blankets that were to his left, bringing them over and wrapping them around her. He knew that, in sadness, places could feel so much colder than they really were, like the world was against you, trying to freeze your very soul. He wrapped it around her gently, the blanket extra warm but also very fuzzy and soft, comforting in both smell and texture.
"Shh...it will be okay..."
He held her to him without wanting anything more, knowing she just needed a person to hold her, to give her comfort. He wanted to break the thick layer of stupid on Gabriels skull for hurting this beautiful girl, one who had been hurt so many time before. He would hold her until her breathing slowed, not even thinking about the wetness of his shirt, or the snot on his blankets and clothes. they werent important right now. He would speak once she was ready.
"Tell me what happened hun..."

He felt her kneel down and started comforting her. She couldn't move anything in her body. She was weak all over... tears dripping to the floor. David lifted her up and she didn't even hold on to him.. just lying limp in his arms.
The got to the couch and she set in on it gently and she curled up close to him. A blanket was wrapped around her then, and it felt warm and soothing to have that comfort, but she was still shaking. Everything was getting to her. It hurt to breath...Her crying was getting a lot more intense to where there were periods of no inhaling air into her lungs.
It was long before she had finally calmed down slightly. She still huffed and puffed and her shoulders moved up and down every time her breath heaved.
"Tell me what happened hun..."
She took a moment... It was hard thinking it over...thinking of words to put them in. "I went to tell him...And...Reira..Reira is a fucking zombie and returned. She had her life.. didn't remember Gabriel the way she should of... and he still fell for her... She is married... And he begged to keep her..Went to his knees for her to stay..ignored me. All I did for him..I was that easily thrown out. He didn't even look at me..."
Alexis wiped at her tears some more, "He never changed, he didn't care enough to spare my feelings... and he chose to be with a girl that doesn't like me...nor I to her.."
She felt that her history with Gabriel was more in depth than the one he had with Rei.... he kidnapped her and threatened her life? But eventually did everything to save her...she still marries someone else and doesn't choose him... That is love?
"I wish I didn't wake up... If I didn't...I wouldn't have seen my sister die... if I didn't I wouldn't have fallen for him... The worst part is..I still care for him..I can't stop!"

David grimmaced. The girl was in shambles. He was touched that she came to him, but then realized fully that she truly had nobody else to go to. He smiled.
"Its his loss then, okay?" He would wait until she looked up, and if after a few moments she didnt, he would lift her chin. "Its no failing on your part. Its his, okay? I can't say im totally sorry for this because, in the end, Gabriel always seems to hurt the ones that mean the most to him, and if you would have been with him it would have eventually ended badly for you. I am sorry though that you went through this...i just..." He hugged her a little more. "I just hope you don't close yourself off totally because of this. Gabriel was the wrong person to truly open up to, y'know?" He sighed. How could he get her mind off this?
OH! TEA!
He set her down next to him gently, and stood, walking into the kitchen and taking the water off the stove. He poured it into a glass and bobbed the bag up and down to get some of the juices flowing from it (pun intended) before heading back to the living room and setting the drink on the table. He stood, tearing off his shirt in one clean motion and grabbing the extra one he had brought down with the blankets. He had a feeling he might need it, and it had proved true. He took a deep breath before getting his own cup and coming back into the living room to sit next to her.
"Do you...want me to help take your mind off things?"

Her eyes were at level with the ground. Until David lifted her head...She listened to his words and couldn't entirely believe them. He didn't care for her as much as he did Reira... Obviously, if he had no hesitation to choose her.
But... she had to cut herself off from the world.
No, she won't kill herself, but she will be careful to make friends. Alexis will avoid liking anyone. She had enough. Gabriel was the straw that broke the camels back...well... he was a friggen bail of hay... if it was someone she didn't care that much about whom chosen someone other than her, she wouldn't have given a shit.
David got up and retrieved a new shirt and some cups of tea. He set hers on the table and all she really did was stare at it. She had no energy to pick it up, or blow on it to cool it off, or she didn't even have the appetite to drink it.
"Do you...want me to help take your mind off things?"
When he sat down, she laid herself down on couch. Her head would be in his lap and she would be curled in the fetal position, lost in the mass of the blanket. She was a small girl, so this large blanket just covered her completely.
She closed her eyes. Her arm came up, and hooked itself on his legs in a hug like embrace.
"Just..let me stay...and don't leave..." her voice was calm and near to a whisper. It had been a long time since she had someone there for her at night. Alexis couldn't remember the last time she had slept. The coma she was in? Maybe. All the crying knocked her out... having someone comfort her..made her safe.. she was able to fall sound asleep, still with tears slowly dripping down her soft cheeks.

David watched the girl think through it, laying herself down on his lap with a small tear rolling down her cheeks. He closed his eyes to what he saw, leaning forward and setting his cup on the table. He pulled on the sleeve of his shirt, bringing his right arm inside to comfort his stomach. His left arm went to her shoulder, rubbing softly.
"Stay as long as you like, i wont leave you."
It may seem like a corny thing for an individual to say, since he honestly didnt know her all that well, but he didnt truly care. He was who he was, and he said it in full faith and commitment. Friends were scarce for people, true friends, and he would be to this girl a friend such as she never had before, if thats what she wanted from him.
He kicked his feet up onto the table, leaning his head back, and passing into the dreamworld.
-----six to twelve hours later--------
David was in the kitchen, whistling as he made pancakes. He loved food- if he was to ever leave high school, he would probably become a cook. Or a chemist- he loved biology. He flipped them easily, eggs and sausage already on the plate. He didnt know what she ate, but he had backup food in the fridge just in case. He slid the final pancake from the pan to the plate then stuck them both on a warmer, waiting for Alexis to wake up.
He had slept peacfully, waking once or twice from unknown noises and looking down at the girl still plastered to his lap, clinging to his leg. He wore sweatpants- the same as what he wore last night, having not truly bothered to change. He went out to the living room and, seeing she was still sleeping, decided to hop in the upstairs shower and get himself clean.

Alexis woke up. She didn't know how long she slept... but she felt a bit better.... still felt like shit, but physically, felt more revived. She grabbed her phone and checked the time. It was the next day. She had slept that long?
David wasn't around and she almost panicked. It felt as if he had left, but she smelled something. It smelled like food and she smiled, knowing he was still there.
She got up and found he wasn't in the kitchen. She saw there had been pancakes on a hot plate and she couldn't help but rip off a piece and walked around his house. It was huge and she wasn't sure if he was still present in the home.
Alexis walked up the stairs and she heard running water... he was taking a shower, so she went back down stairs, grabbed the other half of the pancake, and sat herself back on the couch. She was doing everything in her power to avoid thoughts of Gabriel, though of course since she was thinking to hard away from the subject it kept popping in her mind.
Now she would just wait 'til he got out of the shower. She felt a little bad to start eating before he did...

David came down the stairs, a pep in his step as he walked into the living room to find....HER EATING!?
"You couldn't even wait for me!? Get out, just get out right now!" He looked serious to the point of absurdity, which was exactly the point. The corners of his mouth would curl as he started smiling, and before long it broke. He waved with his right hand in a joking manner. "Nah, im joking. Eat up." He went in and grabbed his plate, heading into the living room and sitting next to her, though a little ways away, on the couch. He blew on his food and took a quick bite, tilting his head back in a little moan at the taste. He shook his fists in the air to indicate its divinity before looking back at his plate.
His mood turned slightly somber as he asked the question she probably didn't want to hear, or perhaps did.
"So, does this mean i get to beat the shit out of Gabriel?" He looked at her, this time dead serious.
Nobody fucks with his friends, especially ones already hurt and healing.

Alexis smiled up at David when he came down, but it instantly disappeared when he started getting mad she was eating without him. Shit, she should have waited. Her face was blank, staring up to his mad one, she didn't know what to do or say.
"I-I'm sorry?"
He then started to smile,"Nah,im joking. Eat up." she just stared at him for a moment. Well.. that scared her.
He went and grabbed his own food and rejoined her on the couch. They ate in silence until his next question came up. Would she believe him? She laughed a little, but his face was dead serious.
Uh oh.
"Um... No? You know...I don't really turn to violence when trying to figure shit out. But if he makes you that mad.. you could just talk it out with him...settle it civilly."
Which was the truth. Alexis was never a fan of violence... let alone violence brought between two of the guys she cared for.
"These pancakes are good..." change of subject....

David frowned, swallowing his current bite of food.
"I may do it anyway."
He said it softly, but she would likely hear it. He didn't care- Gabriel deserved punishment for what he did, and there was no way David would just let it slide. At the very least, he would question the young Dragon, and knowing Gabriel, that was likely to turn out very poorly indeed which is exactly, in the end, what David wanted. He set the plate on the table, getting up and heading into the kitchen to grab for himself a drink. Soda- squirt. He grabbed one for her too, and walked back out there, handing her the can and popping the lid on his. He took a long swig, giving a gasp "aahhhh" after he chugged half of it. He set it down and looked at her with a small smile.
"Heres an idea." He put his hands together. "Lets skip school today, and head for the coast. Or go see a movie. Or do anything to just have fun eh?"
He had many cars in his garage, and a limo, not to mention the butler who, by his estimation, was late. Hell, the fact that David had to be the one to make breakfast proved he was late. David would wait to see how alexis accepted this idea. Fair or for poor, it would be respected. Perhaps she wanted to leave, or to be alone. It was fine with him- he just wanted to make the girl happy.

He mumbled something, but Alexis couldn't hear, nor was she going to press on. He was probably voicing out his dislike of her idea on how to deal with shit. He got up, and brought himself and Alexis a pop. He chugged it, but she merely just popped it open and took a few sips. She wasn't big on pop, but she wouldn't complain, it wasn't worth it. not like she would die from drinking any of it.
"Lets skip school today, and head for the coast. Or go see a movie. Or do anything to just have fun eh?"
She shrugged. She wouldn't want to go to school, due to the fact when she tried to the day before she ended up in David's lap crying like an infant.
"Yeah sure..You pick, I suck at picking activities to keep myself busy."
She was now done her food... and she would rather change from her clothes... after all hers was all snotty at the sleeves and she wore them the day before this day.
"Stop by my place? I need a change of clothes."
