Alexis was laying on the couch, her stomach against the couch and her cheek was resting on her arms as the T.V flashed before her. Having stayed up many nights she had watched many reruns and even watched many movies, so once in awhile she would resort to the news. There was a mass murder at a mansion back in San Francisco. Alexis and Gabriel had lived there, and Alexis knew about his cousin. Her family was the only Family Gabriel had left. The girl was killed amongst others and she could only imagine the devastating affects Gabriel was feeling. Lexi didn’t have any family left... well, her mother was somewhere, serving time for what she had done to her and Lexi no doubt, but her mother was long dead in her eyes; therefore, she had no more family.
She could only assume Gabriel might rash out on someone. He lost a lot of people, she would understand if he was on his last thread. Not too long ago, she was there too. At least she managed to get back up... sort of. She hadn’t talked to Gabriel since Halloween. There was the assumption they were still friends. He said they were, but didn’t friends talk to each other?
The news was getting rather depression, so she reached for the remote, only for it to fall. Now she just couldn’t reach it. Lame. Lazily, Alexis rolled off the couch and grabbed the remote. After turning off the T.V. her emerald eyes caught site of her phone.
“Do you need to talk?”
It was a long shot. She texted him the message and would wait for his reply. She highly doubted he needed her to talk to. He had his girlfriend; he probably would need her company more than anyone right now. At least it is the thought that counts. It wouldn’t hurt to try.
“I’m at home if you need me.” She followed it up with that message, and then set her phone down. Rolling on her back she looked up at the crop circles in the ceiling’s stuck-o; picking out random designs that resemble everyday objects, animals, or people.
Now all there was, was to wait.

A pensive mind was a cold one. The Dark Lord sat within his makeshift thrown room; the tatered covers burnt too quickly, everything seethed away into a smooth calm till there was nothing left but ashes and dust. His defeated stare pierced the walls and made them melt as well till the room was like an acid trip.
"Maybe..." The monosylabic sounds coming from his broken lips.
Only a day and he'd lost his mind, nothing mattered right now only that something felt his pain and he'd take it out on the walls till he burnt himself out. Furiously he focused it all into one bit a radiant surge of power into a burst. The dark chuckle consumed everything as the wall liquidated away to mulsh.
"Sire...?"
"Locksley what is it?" The dark scowl shot out violently past the wall where he'd be hiding.
"That Alexis girl is contacting you...Should I decline?" He said in the rudementary clean cut English Accent.
"No...I'll...I don't know what I'll do but...Graa" Gabriel fumed as the furniture behind him vaporized into dust in the midst of him standing.
He escaped to retrieve some clothes coming up with a messy work of formal wear all inherantly tattered from low level bursts of energy radiating through them.
"Miss Green? Yes he'll be on his way soon enough..." Locksley replied dutifully. "You do know Sire that in your condition you could potentially harm her?"
Gabriel shrugged out of his old friend's grip. "I think I've hurt her enough as it is..." He strode out the front door not turning to look back as his garden wilted behind him.
*Knock Knock*
Gabriel stood at the door of Alexis Green's house looking horrible in all regards controlling his Qi with the collar cutting off it's enormous energies from doing too much damage yet still the wild life had wilted at his passing. He was Death.
"I'm sorry...."

His person that wasn't Markus answered the phone. At least this guy didn't decline her offer and told her he would be over straight away. She rolled on the ground until she was on her stomach and she got herself up. The knock came form the door and she would rush to answer.
Of course, it just hit her...why was he coming? Where was Reira when he needed him? She answered the door and the first thing that came from his mouth was an apology. Alexis cocked a brow and looked at the plants and shrubbery around the front door. Her eyes matched with his and she smiled, best she could considering the circumstances. He looked like shit.
"Don't worry... just plants." Alexis tried her best to make everything better. He shouldn't be apologizing at a time like this. For a few moments, she stood still, unsure of how to react. How should she react? What if she were in his position? Cautiously, she approached him and wrapped her arms around his torso. Friends were allowed to hug.
"Things will look up...They always do..."
After all, she was with Gabriel again. Sure enough sign things get better as you wait.
"Want to come in?" if he did, she would escort him to her couch. "You can tell me anything."

The second the small woman made contact with him Gabriel's Qi shut down. Fear perhaps seething inside considering what would happen should he hurt her. He frowned however much he enjoyed the contact, forgetting how much he'd missed it Gabriel didn't let go. The dark lines under his eyes gave him a sinister look to his features as if there was not a kind thought within him. The lining of his clothes he noticed had tored holes in them, each hole outlined with a subtle burn mark. "Things will look up...They always do..."Gabriel tried for a smile, however everything hurt, he hadn't buged from the room since Reira had left him there to cinder. His thoughts hovered upon betrayal, of love lost and of his cousins ill fated murder. "This time.... I'm not sure they will." Gabriel uttered his breath ashy and torn from last nights fire. "You can tell me anything."Gabriel shifted once he'd hit the bed he felt the enormous tension collapse upon him in a second Gabriel fell to the bed completely exhausted his muscle's tight and sore from bearing it all finally gave up on him. His eyes fluttered momentarily before he passed out into a sublte nightmare-ridden dream. Throughout the next day Gabriel told Alexis everything; an ill-fated spill of the lips as he flailed about the bed. "Alexis....Save me,"
"Rei, Betray heart"
"Broken..Save me Rei."
Eyes beat open, nearly 1:00 am, Gabriel had been out all day only to understand that his nightmares would have just begun. |

Instead of heading t the couch, he went straight for the bed. She leaned against the door frame and watched as he laid down. She waited for him to say something... then eventually she heard his troubled voice.
"Alexis....Save me," her brow cocked and she approached the bed. His eyes were closed tight, but he had actually fell asleep. He must have had no sleep in the last bit, and now he finally has, but is getting nightmares. Alexis got on the with him, wrapped an arm around him and the other, combed his hair with her fingers. Her cheek was resting atop his head as he squirmed and moaned in his sleep. He could have been dreaming of the night he was attacked and called her for her to save him.
"Rei, Betray heart" now he was kind of not making any sense. His cousin just got murdered and...and no.. she didn't understand.
"Broken..Save me Rei." now it would just appear he couldn't even make up his mind. Well, Reira wasn't here to save him, so he would have to suck it up and have Alexis until he went over to see her. Her arm tightened around him, getting close. She was comforting him, but his presence alone was comforting her.
"I'm still here for you...Just as I promised..." she whispered in his ear. Her eyes closed and she would fall asleep. First time she slept since Davids house... but this was more comforting; she felt at peace.
--------
She woke up when she felt Gabriel stir. Her eyes fluttered open and saw him wake up. Alexis pressed her forehead gently against his temple and her nose was against his cheek.
"Gabriel... Help me understand..." she didn't know if she would have to tell him he was sleep talking, but if it would get him talking she would have to bring it up.

Gabriel felt the soft breath at his cheek. A forced grin or at least something that could resemble it formed in place. His hand moved around her lifting her easily so that he could turn to lie on his back setting the small woman in place resting atop his torso so that their faces mingled closely. It would be uncomfortable to be anyone else and yet again Gabriel felt a certain calm. The black lines beneath his eyes had nearly faded having gotten the necessary rest he had been sorely missing out on.
"Gabriel... Help me understand..."
Gabriel's eyes blinked calmly. He didn't know how to put it himself, still wishing it was a dream himself till he felt the subtle holes making up his coat. No, It had been a sad reality.
"I don't know what to say Lexi..."
Gabriel met eyes with her musing curiously as his nose bumped with hers cautiously. He didn't want to hurt her again, both of them had suffered all too much for one lifetime.
"Everything hurts..."
Gabriel's hand treked towards hers enclosing it tightly as he lead her over his heart. IT was broken.

He moved her so she was now laying on him. Their faces were near, and she stiffened. It wasn't that it felt wrong... it was the fact he was with Reira. Alexis was so close to him and she couldn't have him. He was teasing her to no end right now. She couldn't move from, no matter how much she wanted to run away from his beautiful form.
"I don't know what to say Lexi..." his nose bumped against hers and she closed her eyes, trying her best not to just kiss those lips again.
"Everything hurts..." his hand grabbed hers, it fitting easily in his. Now her hand was on his chest... Where his heart was."Everything hurts..." a sting of sorry erupted in her own heart. She knew how it felt.. Have the people that you care about die... She only wished that when he asked her if they had met on different terms...if they would be anything more..she just..she wished she didn't lie and told him the truth. He could have been hers, she could have done her best at making his aching heart better. She buried her face in his neck. No she wasn't making a move on him. Alexis doesn't cheat nor will she help someone cheat. She just wanted to be close to him..to hold him when he needed it. She needed him to feel better. Not too long ago she was crumbling on Davids floor... holding her own heart in pain.
Gabriel in such a state was dangerous. To himself and to her. Lexi was scared.
"I don't want you to feel pain... I can't have you leave me... not for good... Get better, please." yes, she was scared he was going to kill himself. Olivia was too much to bare... but if he did this, Alexis wouldn't know what to do; she would be lost, "I need you here..." Gabriel would then feel her wet eyes against the skin of his neck. "It will be the death of me.."

Gabriel felt the tender beat of his heart pound in his chest, not the cold melodic trace that had been ther once before. The cool trickle of tears at his neck as Gabriel went on being dry and empty. A barren soul with what was left of heart. He had been lucky that he left a bit of his heart with Alexis or he'd never have the chance to heal.
"Shhhh.."
Gabriel tried cooing her with a soft repetitive massage at the nape of her neck. His right hand moving into her hair guiding her position to feel unafraid of using him as a tissue.
"Don't cry, I'll always be here remember.." Gabriel said forcing a smile.
His lips brushed her forehead keeping a calm composure. There were many thoughts going through his mine but none of them led to any explicit details between the pair. Of all things he wanted to comfort her, he needed to be someone's hero. Something that was unneeded with Reira.

He pulled her close and now she was feeling bad. He was the one that needed help and she was crying. His lips grazed her forehead and she looked up at him. Her bright green eyes studying the ones that used to match.
"Sorry... I'm being a bitch..." she made a little laugh.. it was a pathetic attempt at a joke. "I'm supposed to be here for you, 'cause that is what friends do... but I can't even do that right. I'm such a mess." she still wanted him to vent to her. Alexis wanted to help comfort him and tell him everything will look up and they will find the killer.
She rested her head back down, her arms hugging his figure. "You don't have to tell me anything. We can just lay here. I'm just hoping you can open up to me when you are ready." that's what she was there for. Friends listened and she wanted to be the best god damned friend Gabriel had. Though, it would be hard for her to help him out or be the best friend if he doesn't open up to her but only Reira.
"I don't mind laying here.." well, of course she wouldn't mind. He was was hers for the time being.

Gabriel sighed, he was quite content as of now; he didn't want to move, didn't want to work and most certainly had no aspiration to succeed fearing that karma would strike and suddenly his dreams would be struck down with a massive strike.
"Aubrey is dead because of Reira..." It was all Gabriel could say.
In his hert he knew she hadn't done it, there was no results or proof in her favor he simply knew...There had to be someone else behind it, yet without proof he was hopeless.
"I can't feel anymore, anything beyond this is empty..." Gabriel stared blankly at the roof before his eyes averted back to Alexis finding a bit of purpose.
If he was so cold why was he trying so heard to protect Alexis? Of course he never stopped loving her, he merely let himself forget.

"Aubrey is dead because of Reira..."
Alexis' stare shot back up to his face. Oh... no wonder he was soooo down. His girlfriend was the cause of his cousins death. That was ten time worse.
"I can't feel anymore, anything beyond this is empty..." she glared at him. Not in a mean way, but a knock out of it sort of way.
"You just said you hurt..Now you don't feel. Gabriel, you are just numb right now." Alexis seemed a little pissed off he cared this much for Reira. Well, it annoyed her. Alexis tried everything to get him to notice her and he didn't feel numb when she left him. Gah, Jealousy is a bitch. That and he didn't feel? He didn't feel happy Alexis was there for him? Nothing at all.
She kissed his forehead non the less. "Please, try your best to look up...for me. After all you owe me big...least you could do is pretend I mean something to you." a little blunt, but she needed it to come out. She didn't want to bend over backwards for Gabriel if he didn't at least act as if he cared about all the things she was doing for him. Reira fucked him over and Alexis was there for him..and he still liked Reira more. Alexis could not catch a break.

Gabriel was taken aback momentarily. She was right; he hadn't been thinking of anyone but himself recently how foolish he'd been. GAbriel's grip around her tightened in a sudden pleading hug. He didn't deserve to be forgiven not for this atrocity he'd committed.
"You mean everything to me now.." Gabriel didn't mean it to sound callus but he'd become fairly detatched.
He didn't know his feelings for Reira or if they still held true he could only explain the chasom in his heart only meant that he still felt something. Everyone died around him and he became something more like Alexis than ever before.
"I'm sorry I was so insensitive, I was hoping I wouldn't have to hurt you again... Aparently I'm nothing but a liar."
He brushed her hair with a simple spread of his fingers directing her face up toward him. "And still you'd love me after it all?"
Gabriel gave her an inquizitive expression, Why would she endanger her heart if it hurt so much?

"You mean everything to me now.."
Now? Ouch...
Her eyes followed along the lines of the creased bed sheets, until he guided her face to his.
"And still you'd love me after it all?" Her eyes searched the fine details of his face. She didn't want to use the word love. It scared her most definitely, ever since Li. She thought she had loved him, but Gabriel.. Gabriel made her feel so much more different. Her head would clear when he was around her... butterflies flutter in her stomach when ever he touches her. But...Love was such a strong word that could scare anyone away. Though, Gabriel knew when she was lying...so she would have to tell the truth.
"Yes.. And I don't know why. Your very presence makes it hard for me to smile... all because you make it hard for me to breath."
Alexis' head dropped so her forehead was against the pillow beside his head. Her mouth near his ear. "I'm sorry for dropping a bomb like that.."

His breath caught for a moment. The deep labored breathing from a nightmare ridden dream felt childish now compared to the reality he now faced. Trapped behind a wall of his own selfish desires he'd never once been able to set aside his own objectives for her. Gabriel had said love; that he loved her before without actually understanding it himself and now it struck him hard. Yet this couldn't be love the sudden pain in ones chest when hurt. It couldn't have made any sense.
"How about we just lie her for tonight..." Gabriel would say without making any brash decisions, "Lexi...I..." Gabriel opened his mouth to speak slowly before coddling her again feeling at peace and once more very exhausted.
"Good night Lexi." He'd say again kissing the top of her head before passing out once more.

Alexis smiled when he offered to just lie there. It felt nice to have him all to herself again...even if it was just for a night of venting.
"Good night Lexi."
She closed her eyes and readjusted her head back to the nook of Gabriel's neck. His breath started to become even and everything went quiet. She had already slept, and this was pushing it. Alexis wasn't tired anymore, but she didn't mind lying there with him, enjoying his company. Another thing that she loved. She could be with him, and not have to say anything to have a good time with him.
She opened her eyes and stared at the clock; two in the morning. Barely any cars were driving outside, the house was silent... Lexi was able to count the beats of his heart.
1...2...3...4...5...6...
Doing that, helped induce her into yet another sleep. And she thought it couldn't be done twice in one night. Well, he just so happened to keep her calm and relaxed.
Then she had a dream of sugar plums dancing in her head.
(End)
