Realistic or Modern Second Chances

[Forever6A7X]

Alex frowned as she got up to leave but gave the doctor a small nod. He sat there as witness his head looking at the ground as he held his son's hand. He took a deep breath as he heard the heart beat stop trying to keep himself together infront of all of the staff.

Max gave a small nod and stood up to leave and go get herself something to drink. By the time Ana had woken up from her nap news about Lea had spread through the club from Alex. She felt terrible for the two of them and only hoped they would be able to grieve properly for their son

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen went in after to say her goodbyes, eventually walking out with Alex to the car, not making a sound but gripping his hand tight as she possibly could, getting home with him later into the afternoon and finally feeling it all hit her when she tripped over one of Leo’s toys in the living room, letting out a scream before dropping to her knees and sobbing, holding onto Alex even tighter once head sat on the floor with her. “It’s not fair.”

Jon sighed heavily, passing her a shot when she came over. “I’m gonna go check up on them tomorrow. Without Ana… my sister is gonna have her for tonight and tomorrow.” He told max quietly.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex drove the two of them home and stayed quiet as well. He sighed heavily as they got inside before moving to sit next to her as she broke down. He gulped quietly as he looked around seeing all the toys around "I know...I know babe." He whispered before he broke down quietly as well.

Max took the shot and nodded some "If you don't mind...I'd like to come with you." She said quietly before sighing softly "I'm sure she will have fun with your sister." She murmured before running a hand through her hair.

 

[decadent-rider]

She couldn’t get any words out and just sobbed until she passed out, leaning up against him. She hadn’t said a word since before they’d let him go.

Jon just nodded. “I’ll pick you up on the bike.” He told her quietly sighing some. “Yeah she’s excited to have her. She got a couple little ones now of her own. They’re six and four.” He chuckled knowing the last time max had seen his sister she was only just sixteen.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex carried her to bed after she had passed out giving a heavy sigh. He tucked her in before placing Leo's blanket next to her. He went around cleaning up the house so that she could just do whatever she needed to grieve.

Max went wide eyed but smiled widely "Two huh? Well she sure has grown up huh?" She said before glancing at the clock "I better get going home, its getting late."

 

[decadent-rider]

Jon just nodded and gave her shoulder a squeeze before going to get the baby and head home, still having to pinch himself a little that he was having to think about that. He headed out and got Anna to bed as soon as he could, trying to get some sleep while it was possible.

Carmen woke up the next morning, going and finding Alex asleep in Leo’s room, moving to lay next to him and hold onto him tightly, a little scared she was going to lose him too.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max got home after picking herself something to eat. She got inside and placed her food down before going to change into more comfortable clothing. She shrieked when she felt arms wrap around her from behind and her ex's voice whisper in her ear.

Alex groaned softly as he felt her arms go around him. He turned to face her pushimg hair from her face "Mornin.." he whispered softly before pecking her lips "We need to eat something." He murmured quietly

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and just shook her head. “Not hungry.” She told him barely above a whisper. “I can’t… I don’t know… I gotta call the school.” She mumbled, getting up and looking around the room. “Oh oh he doesn’t have Floppy. He needs to have Floppy with him or he’s gonna be so upset.” She whimpered, seeing his favorite stuffed dog on the floor.

Jon got to her place the next morning after dropping ana off and banged on the door. “Hey! I wanna get going you ready?”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex frowned more and got up moving to pick up the dog giving a small nod "I'll call them okay? Go sit in the living room. You gotta eat something for me though alright?" he said quietly before walking with her to the front room. He pulled out his phone and dialed the school's number off of the fridge.

Max whimpered quietly as she heard banging on the door the next morning. She got up and went to the door like Tye told her and answered only cracking the door "Hey...I uh...I can't come today. I'm not feeling well. I got sick last night...something I ate." she said softly looking at him with scared eyes

 

[decadent-rider]

Jon frowned shaking his head some as he watched her. He'd seen the curtains tweak in her front room while she was stood at the door and went along with it for the moment. "You're kidding... Your friend has just lost her kid and ou're not gonna go cause you were sick last night? That's fucking bullshit Max." He muttered, turning and walking off down the street, making his way around the block to hop her fence and go in the back way. He'd completely forgotten about her ex in the in between and seeing how scared she was, brought it all back to the surface for him.

Carmen frowned shaking her head, "I don't think I can." She told him quietly, going to sit on the couch though at least, burying her face into the pillows, tring to ignore his phone cal to the school, tring to block the words from her ears but their house had always been a little awful for sound and especially now in the quiet without Leo, she could hear everything happening at once.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max shook her head softly taking a deep breath "I'm sorry Jon." she said quietly before shutting the door. She whimpered when Tye came out and took her into his arms 'Good job baby, now go back to bed okay?' he said to her. She whimpered quietly following him to her room not even hearing Jon come in through the back. "Tye please, we can be together just....please don't do this." she whispered as he forced her down.

Alex took a deep breath shaking some as he called the school. He explained everything the best he could before finally hanging up the phone. He went out to Carmen afterwards and sat down running his hands over his face "Well...thats done." he whispered

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen frowned some, shaking her head. “I don’t… where do we go from here I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.” She told him quietly. “And I’ve changed my mind. I do want to press charges against your mother now.” She muttered.

He grinned a bit and struggled until he had her pinned. “You keep changing your mind though how do I know this isn’t just to get me to stop?! You have no idea how good you got it with me baby we’re gonna go home now. And you’re gonna move your stuff back into my place. But before all that I think we should be reuni-“ he got cut off at the sound of a loud bang, his eyes going wide for a second before he collapsed on top of her and Jon was immediately over there and pulling her up and onto her feet. “Hey. Look at me. Breathe. Deep breaths okay… no don’t look.” He gently moved her face to look back at him, carefully walking her out to her kitchen.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex nodded some as she spoke "I know I don't....I don't know either." He admitted before leaning back onto the couch. He frowned deeply when she mentioned his mother but nodded in agreeance "Yeah...I think we should too." He murmured

Max looked at Tye trying to plead with him to stop. She screamed as she heard a loud bang and saw him start to fall on her. As he was pushed off and she saw Jon she instantly felt relief. She tried to glance over but was stopped as Jon caught her jaw and told her not to look. She took deep shaky breaths as it started to settle in and she started to go into shock.

 

[decadent-rider]

Jon shook his head and got her to sit on her couch. “Slow deep breaths I got you.” He coaxed gently, getting her some water and just crouched in front her, rubbing her knuckles with his thumb the way he always used to. “We’re gonna get out of here in a minute okay?” He told her, texting the prospects to come clean up for him

Carmen frowned and just reached over, holding onto him tightly. “Don’t…. Please don’t go.” She whimpered

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max sipped at the water and whimpered more "You...he...oh god....we killed him Jon...we killed him." She said before bursting into tears sobbing in his arms.

Alex frowned a bit and shook his head "I'm not going anywhere Carmen. I promise you that." He whispered

 

[decadent-rider]

Jon shook his head and gently took her face in his hands, wiping her tears "Shh, no you didn't do a thing." He assured her. "He died because he was attacking you." He told her quietly, "The prospects are gonna clean this up for me... Let's get you out of here for a bit, where are your shoes?" He asked her

Carmen just nodded, spending the rest of the morning attached to him while they'd put the TV on for background noise, neither of them actually watching it

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max watched him and pointed towards the door "I...I tried to call but he took my phone." She said quietly staring at the floor in shock still about it all.

Alex never let go of her that morning. He only got up to use the restroom once. He frowned as the day progressed and a knock echoed through the house that afternoon "Who the fuck is that?" He muttered

 

[decadent-rider]

He nodded and helped her get her shoes on then took her hand and helped her up to go out to the car. “We’re gonna go get some food then we’re gonna go see them alright?” He coaxed gently, pulling her in right to a hug before they got in the car.

Tyler was there banging on the door frowning until Alex opened it. “Hey, come on, get your kutte, we got a job I need you on.” He told him.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex glared at Tyler as he opened the door "You have got to be fucking kidding me. My son isn't evem dead for 24 hours and you're calling me?! Get the fuck out of here, don't show your face again unless its to apologize." He spat before slamming the door shut

Max nodded softly hugging him back tightly "Just....don't leave me alone okay?" She whispered

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen appeared from the bathroom once he got back in, frowning some. “Who was that?” She asked quietly, knowing full well it had been Tyler because he’d been there to drop something off for her.

Jon just nodded and kissed her head gently. “I’m not going anywhere alright? Come on, let’s go.” He murmured, opening her door for her before getting in

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex frowned and gave a heavy sigh "Tyler, wanting me to fucking go on a run." He spat before going to the kitchen and cracking open a beer.

Max got in and buckled up "Alright." She said quietly staring straight ahead of her

 

[decadent-rider]

She just nodded and sat down at the table, staring ahead of her. “What do we uh… how do we plan… the next bit?” She asked him not wanting to say the word funeral out loud, sighing when the doorbell went, hearing Jon’s voice on the other side.

Jon stayed quiet for her so he didn’t overwhelm her on the drive over there, occasionally taking her hand until he parked outside their place taking a deep breath. “Not too late. I could just take you back to mine instead.” He told her just hoping she wasn’t gonna put herself through too much with this visit.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max shook her head as they arrived at Carmen and Alex's house "No...no I'll be okay." she said softly before getting out of the car and heading up to the door with him. She wasn't so much as terrified right now, just in shock that it happened the way it did. She was grateful for Jon, thankful he had gotten in when he had. She knew Jon was no saint, and she knew his life dealt with murder when it came to bad people as well.

Alex sat down at the table shaking his head a bit "I'll um..I'll need to call the hospital and then arrange things with a home." he said softly before taking a deep breath "We'll um...we'll need to find a spot for him." he said quietly before getting up when he heard the door. He opened it as he heard Jon's voice frowning as he thought he was here with Tyler. His face softened a bit though when he saw Max there with him "Hey...what uh...whats up?" he asked quietly

 

[decadent-rider]

Jon frowned seeing Alex looking dishevelled and exhausted, pulling one of his closest friends into a tight hug "I'm so sorry man, anything at all I can do to help you two out?" He asked him, raising an eyebrow as he watched Carmen walk throuh the kitchen with a cigarette in hand. She'd always been stricter than anything about not smoking in the house even long before they'd had Leo

Carmen frowned some, hearing Jon out there, not really wanting company right now and just walked away towards the stairs to go lay down, not feling great after having eaten nothing since yesterday breakfast.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex hugged his friend back and gave a heavy sigh "Thanks." he said softly before waving at Max "Come in...come in...you guys uh want anything to drink?" he asked quietly as they stepped inside. He frowned a bit when he saw the burning cigarette in the ash tray and quickly put it out giving a heavy sigh. He looked over at Jon and shook his head a bit before turning away to compose himself.

Max frowned as she watched Carmen pass by after putting her cigarette in the ash tray. She stepped inside and glanced around not really knowing what she could even say to them.
