Alexis grins at the compliment.

Alexis: I guess I just work with the Edwards.

She thinks for a moment.

Alexis: Micah asked me to ask you that it not be him. What about Shawn?

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:07 am

Alex's face turns dark for a moment.

Alex: That wouldn't be appropriate Lexi.

Pockets Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:10 am

Alexis shifts away from Alex, not liking the look on his face.

Alexis: Ah... alright... not Shawn....

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:17 am

Alex sighs and grabs Alexis' hand.

Alex: I'm sorry Lexi. I didn't mean to snap.... it's just..... Shawn's crossed a line this time... after being given numerous second chances.

Pockets Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:21 am

Alexis feels the phone in her pocket and takes it out. She reads the messages, her eyes widening. She jumps up off the couch.

Alexis: Alex... we need to find your aunt... now!

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:26 am

Alex looks confused.

Alex: Um.... OK.... lets check her room.

Alex leads Lexi upstairs to Erin's room where they find her sitting on the bed, staring blankly.

Pockets Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:29 am

Alexis hands Alex the phone with the forwarded messages still on it.

Alexis: Read that.

She approaches Erin.

Alexis: E... Aunt Erin...?

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:35 am

As Alex reads as strange mix of extreme anger and deep sadness crosses his face. Erin looks up at Alexis. She smiles cheerily but her eyes are dead.

Erin: Oh hey sweetie. You having fun?

Pockets Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:39 am

Alexis sits down next to her on the bed.

Alexis: Yeah. I'm still getting used to everything here though.

She glances up at Alex for a split second and looks back at Erin, concerned.

Alexis: You disappeared after the party... everything alright?

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:42 am

Erin: Absolutely fine dear. I'm just taking a minute... too much excitement for one day. I'm not as young as I once was.

Pockets Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:48 am

Alexis clears her throat.

Alexis: I got a text... from Shawn....

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:50 am

Erin looks confused.

Erin: And?

Pockets Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:53 am

Alexis: He... ah... showed me what you two were talking about. He's worried about you. We want to make sure you don't do anything stupid, like trying to kill yourself.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:55 am

Erin: Um.... Alexis.... I haven't been in touch with the rat-bastard since he humiliated me in Chicago and ran off with that prostitute..... no offense.

Pockets Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:57 am

Alexis looks up at Alex.

Alexis: Can I have my phone back, please?

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:58 am

Alex still fuming hands Alexis the phone.

Pockets Mon Feb 28, 2011 12:00 pm

Alexis glances nervously at Alex, then shows Erin the messages.

Alexis: This says otherwise....

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 12:03 pm

Erin laughs.

Erin: God bless your naivity. Do you have any idea how easy this would be to fake? I'm afraid you've been the victim of a rather malicious prank. Shawn is notorious for them. He doesn't care who he hurts as long as he gets a quick thrill.

Pockets Mon Feb 28, 2011 12:07 pm

Alexis shakes her head.

Alexis: He would never do a prank like that. He would never joke about suicide.

She glances up at Alex.

Alexis: You know it too. You wouldn't be so upset if you didn't know these texts were real.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 12:10 pm

Alex: Yes I know they're real.

Erin's facade drops. She glares at the two of them sternly.

Erin: So.... what do you intend to do about it?

Pockets Mon Feb 28, 2011 12:14 pm

Alexis looks at Erin intently.

Alexis: Whatever I can to make sure you stick around for a while. Shawn isn't worth killing yourself over.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 12:28 pm

Erin: Oh? Isn't he?

...Look at Alex. Go ahead. Look at your big, sweet, handsome fiancee. Imagine.... imagine him leaving you right now. Tomorrow morning you find out you're pregnant with twins. You try and move on.... you get remarried.... but you never get over him.... you love him too much. Three years later he comes back.... tells you how sorry he is.... tells you how much he always loved you. You leave your husband and take him back. He goes through the same initiation you went through today..... you marry him. You spend 8 blissful years together.... the you find out he cheated on you with a couple of hot little bisexuals.... even got one of them pregnant. You divorce him..... not because you don't still love him.... but because you know you couldn't survive him hurting you again. You manage to keep your distance for 12 years.... but there isn't a day you don't miss him. One day out of the blue he calls you.... gets you to fly to Chicago to see him. Once again he tells you how much he loves you.... how the only thing he wants is to be with you again..... he kisses you. Makes you believe that there may be a chance for the two of you after all. Then.... the very next moment he tells you he doesn't love you..... he tells you that he'd rather be with a HOOKER than you.

.... what would YOU do Lexi?

Pockets Mon Feb 28, 2011 12:34 pm

Alexis sighs.

Alexis: I don't know... but I wouldn't kill myself. I thought Edwards' were stronger than that anyway.

Cryonix Mon Feb 28, 2011 12:38 pm

Voice: They are....when they choose to be.

Emerging from the shadows of the house is Shawn Cortez dressed in a suit...

Shawn: Where's Ewan?

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 12:42 pm

Erin: Well I'm not..... please.... just..... just go..... just let me die.
