Raquel:"No. And frankly, Alexis, I don't give a damn how pointless me coming here seems to the whole lot of you. I wasn't going to sit on the other side of a whole ocean while this was happening."

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:06 pm

Alexis looks a little surprised, then grins slightly

Alexis: I guess he described it as walking into certain death. He's not back at the hotel yet either, so I think she still thinks you did something.

She texts Raquel.

sitting in a hotel room is accomplishing something? i know youre upset, but there is really nothing you can do right now

Jabberwocky Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:12 pm

Raquel:"At least I got to spend time with him on the flight. I'm starting to see you don't understand. Thats fine."

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:15 pm

Ewan sighs.

Ewan: I'd probably be paranoid too if I were in her position.

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:19 pm

Alexis is getting a headache looking at the text.

i understand you more than you think. i just don't want you getting hurt

She looks up at Ewan.

Alexis: Are things always this complicated?

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:25 pm

Ewan smiles slightly.

Ewan: I'm probably not the person to ask.... my perspective is a little biased... This is why we try to keep a close circle.

Jabberwocky Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:25 pm

Raquel:"How the hell would I get hurt in the first place? And if you think you understand me then try explaining what I'm going through to me. I would love to hear that."

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:30 pm

first youre mad at me for not understanding you then youre mad at me for at least understanding being in love. i wish youd make up your mind

She throws the phone down on a nearby chair, frustrated.

Alexis: Well, my circle is getting very skewed!

Jabberwocky Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:33 pm

Raquel:"There is more to it then just love Alexis."

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:35 pm

Alexis stares at the phone, which has fallen open. Taking a deep breath she grabs it.

like what? enlighten me

Jabberwocky Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:37 pm

a few minutes goes by before Raquel responds

Raquel:"I'm late"

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:40 pm

Alexis stares a the phone.

you think you're pregnant?

Jabberwocky Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:43 pm

Raquel:"I'll have to see the doctor when I'm back home before I know for certain. But tell nobody. Not Shawn. Not your father. Not your mother. Not Colin. Not Alex. Nobody. Alright?"

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:45 pm

Alex sees Alexis' frustration and concern.

Alex: You OK? Something wrong?

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:49 pm

i can't promise about alex cause he's right here and wants to know what's going on

Alexis looks over at Alex.

Alexis: I'll tell you later. Now is not a really good time.

She chuckles ironically.

Alexis: Nothing that can't wait for confirmation anyway.

Jabberwocky Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:51 pm

Raquel:"Just try Alexis. I don't want this getting out until I know for sure."

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:54 pm

Alex nods.

Alex: OK honey... whenever you're ready.

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:55 pm

Alexis shakes her head, almost amused.

Alexis: Just when I think things can't get any more complicated....

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 01, 2011 3:02 pm

Alex hugs her.

Alex: I'm sorry you're stuck in the middle again....

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 3:05 pm

Alexis sinks into the hug.

Alexis: Something tells me I'm going to have to get used to this.

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 01, 2011 3:12 pm

Alex: It's bound to get simpler eventually though.... right?

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 3:15 pm

Alexis: One can only hope... I'm afraid to say it can't get much worse, because that's just asking for it.

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 01, 2011 3:24 pm

Alex: Weill... I can't fix anything.... but I'll always be here.

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 3:26 pm

Alexis smiles at him.

Alexis: I know. And I can handle anything as long as you are.

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 01, 2011 3:33 pm

Ewan: It makes me happy that Alex is as important to you as you are to him Alexis.
