Alexis notices Micah leave and finally pushes away from Alex.

Alexis: I'll be right back.

She walks outside.

Alexis: For what little it's worth, I'm sorry.

Cryonix Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:12 am

Micah stops at his car but doesn't turn around. His head is down, but his voice is calm...

Micah: You lead me on, thinking that we actually had a chance at a real relationship. You lied to yourself, me and Alex. Finally, when YOU were pressed into a corner...you made the 'hard decision'...one you made months ago anyway. You sat there and complained that Alex didn't fight for you until the last instant...when I've been spending months making you happy, making you a hypocrite.

But, hey...what does it matter, right? You're happy, Alex is happy, the Saints are intact. What does it matter that I'm miserable, right? Hell, I'm a St. Clair...it's our destiny to be fuckin' miserable.

He sighs again...

Micah: I said I would lead by example, and I will. I said petty jealousy would not come into this...and it won't...

...but don't you DARE think that I'm going to sit in a bar, or that locker room and see this bullshit in front of me and smile and laugh with the two of you. You two are my family...and I will stand by you and have your back against any enemy...

...but, just for right now....Fuck you, your English boyfriend, your half assed apology and your happiness.

Pockets Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:17 am

Alexis sighs and nods.

Alexis: Fair... but what about Carmella? I know it's some Cruel Intentions weirdness and everything... but she's here too.

Cryonix Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:19 am

Micah turns around finally...

Micah: Are you serious? You still don't fuckin' get it?!? I know Carmella likes me, Alexis...I've known that for years.

...I.Chose.you.to be with.

Enrich The Experience Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:22 am

Carmella watches Micah walk outside longingly though she smiles at her brother, an expression that vanishes as she watches him obviously angered as he speaks to Alexis.

Carmella: Whats with them Shawn?

Pockets Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:25 am

Alexis is taken aback.

Alexis: Oh. I... I see....

She glances around uneasily, not sure what else to say or do.

Cryonix Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:30 am

Shawn: Near far as I can tell, daughter...Alexis broke up with Micah to be with Alex. Micah is devistated, but is putting on a brave face for the sake of your wrestling group...but he's still crushed. Alexis feels like shit, knowing she willingly broke Micah's heart, even though he's been nothing but nice to her, Colin's trying to stay out of it, Alex is the wild card in all of this, no one knows where you stand and Jimi...well...Jimi is Jimi...

...Asian quiche?

Outside...

Micah: It slowly dawns on you, does it? You know what...go be happy. You'll forget about this with a kiss from Alex and a Vanilla Coke.

Enrich The Experience Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:35 am

Carmella: I'd love an Asian Quiche...when have I ever said no to your cooking dad? Though it seems that from all the stories Ive heard that the penchant for drama has been passed down to the next generation.

Pockets Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:35 am

The mention of a Vanilla Coke reminds Alexis of something. She looks in her hand, and forgotten in all the excitement, the $10 bill is crumpled in her hand. She approaches Micah with it.

Alexis: Here. I'm sure you wouldn't have given this to me if you had known what was going to happen. It's not right for me to use this.

Cryonix Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:38 am

Shawn: That's because my cooking is awesome. No not just awesome....super awesome. Listen...you might want to um...I don't know...ahem...console your brother.

Outside

Micah: Keep it. Consider it a donation to your happiness.

Enrich The Experience Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:46 am

Carmella: Are you implying something there father? Because Im certainly not about to imply that mom is looking forward to the next time you pop your head in...for a coffee...and a chat. She wouldnt let me leave without insuring that i let you know.

She hugs her father again and takes a handful of the quiches before walking to the exit and standing in the doorway watching Micah and Alexis, letting them finish whatever they have left to say to one another..

Cruel Britannia Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:54 am

Seeing that their conversation is not going well Alex goes over to Micah and Alexis.

"Lexi.... Do you mind if I have a moment with Micah?"

Pockets Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:54 am

Alexis nods at Alex, then looks back at Micah.

Alexis: Um... thanks....

A hug? No... Shake hands? No... Alexis just finally turns away, but after a step looks back.

Alexis: ... for everything.

Cryonix Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:59 am

Micah shakes his head at Alexis and then sees Alex walks out...

Micah: Christ...Why not? I'm already having a wonderful last couple of hours...

Pockets Wed Feb 02, 2011 10:02 am

Alexis walks back inside, smiling at Alex as they pass.

Enrich The Experience Wed Feb 02, 2011 10:07 am

Carmella places a hand on Alexis's as she steps back inside and reasuringly smiles at her.

Carmella: Hey Lexi...listen I know things have always been...tense between us but we're family and Im here for you if you need it.

Cruel Britannia Wed Feb 02, 2011 10:11 am

Alex speaks frankly and earnestly to Micah.

"I'm not going to apologise for what happened today. You initiated this..... and a part of you must have thought she may choose me. But I do understand the sacrifice you made today.... I've been making the same sacrifice for months. And despite everything you stood by my side when my mother came for me.

So I will apologise..... for misjudging you..... for not trusting you. Not that it means much now but I want you to know that you never need to question my loyalty to the family.... or to you.

Not because you did me some sort of favour..... but because you are a GOOD man, Micah.

Whether you choose to believe it or not..... you're nothing like HIM..... brother"

Alex turns to leave Micah to his thoughts.

Pockets Wed Feb 02, 2011 10:12 am

Alexis returns the smile

Alexis: I appreciate that...

She glances back outside.

Alexis: I'm not the one that needs someone now though.

Enrich The Experience Wed Feb 02, 2011 10:18 am

Carmella: Your right Lexi...

She smiles once more at Alexis before stepping outside to join her brother, she reasuringly grasps at his hand tightly as she comes to stand beside him.

Carmella: You okay brother?

You do know that Alex is right though, you're nothing like 'him'.

Cryonix Wed Feb 02, 2011 10:25 am

Micah sees Carmella and sighs deeply...

Micah: You say that, he says that...so why don't I feel that way? God, I just got kicked in the chest...and everyone seemingly is expecting me to feel fuckin' great. Don't I have a right to feel angry...betrayed? Why the hell do I have to be the sensitve one, the understanding one?

A voice...evil...sinister...

"Now you understand son. Now you know that you will never escape me..."

Cruel Britannia Wed Feb 02, 2011 10:29 am

Alex walks over to Alexis and hugs her.

"You doing ok? Considering....."

Pockets Wed Feb 02, 2011 10:31 am

Alexis returns the hug.

Alexis: I'm alright... I feel bad for Micah though.

Cruel Britannia Wed Feb 02, 2011 10:37 am

He kisses the top of her head.

"I know..... He has a right to be upset right now. There's nothing we can do about right now... we tried."

Enrich The Experience Wed Feb 02, 2011 10:39 am

Carmella: Of course you can be upset Micah...but thats normal, that doesnt make you your father. You dont have to be anything but you Micah,

Jabberwocky Wed Feb 02, 2011 11:03 am

Colin looks at his water with a sigh. He walks outside, lighting a smoke and blowing it into the air
every ocean has its wave...
he looks over at Alex and Alexis through the corner of his eye
not many easy answers in life...
with a final sigh filled drag of his Chesterfield and puts it out, walking back into the building
"Shawn, is Jillian still around?"
