        Lexis walks over to him as the guy attempts to get up, he punches him, sending the guy flying down. He raises him up and punches his stomach. No one comes to his aid. Reid leans against a wall hands folded behind his head watching. Lucas and Zane stand at the door ways making sure no one comes in. The guy tries to punch back but sways from his drunkenness, Lexis holds unto the hand twisting it and pushing him with great force causing him to hit the wall and fall to the ground. Lexis walks over using his hair to drag him up and starts banging his head against the wall as blood spills. I look around in shock and fear as tears fall from my eyes. No one is stopping lexis. MJ runs off to puke while Karen holds me tight rocking me as I cry. Lexis throws another punch at him. I place my hands over my ears crying.

"Stop," I say looking at Lexis as he drags him up again to punch him.

"Please," I say all strength lost as his hand raises up to punch him.

        My hands hold onto Karen tightly as I bite my lips crying feeling the salty taste of tears and copper from the blood from my bitten lips as Lexis throws the guy towards Reid. My body weakens against Karen and her calling out "Hera" is the last word I hear as my eyes close passing out.

                I open my eyes to dim lights. I try to get up.

"Easy now, don't get up," Lexis says gently pushing me back down.

I look at my hands and see a drip in it. I'm in a room with just Lexis.

"What happened?" I ask.

"You blacked out," Lexis says.

"This?" I ask raising the hand with the drip.

"Vitamins ,the doctor said you were lacking nutrients and stressed, that will help you," He explains.

I cough.

He pours a cup of water and sits on the bed halfway. He props my head up with one hand at the back of my head and uses the other hand to feed me the water, after which he props me back down.

"Where's everyone?" I ask noticing how quiet it was.

"They've left," He says.

"Did you..." I say too scared to complete my words.

"Kill the bastard? No, I should have but I didn't," He says.
I smile thankful that I didn't cause Lexis to commit murder, my eyes look down and notice I'm in a night gown.

"My clothes," I say.

"Here," He says pointing to the sit next to the window.

"Who changed me?" I ask.

"Me," He replies.

"What?!" I say rushing up but being stopped by his hands on my shoulder.

"Nothing I haven't seen before Shakespeare," He says smirking.

I shut my eyes not wanting to remember the horror and too tired to argue with him, laying back down.

"Shakespeare," He says, I open my eyes, is that what he's decided to call me?

"I have a question for you," He says, I bite my lip, he uses his two fingers to slap my hand.

"Ouch... what was that for!" I say glaring at him.

"I normally find it cute when you do your lip biting act while nervous, embarrassed or scared but not anymore, you bit your lips so much they bled earlier," He says.

      I stay silent. I bite my lips when nervous, embarrassed or scared? I didn't even know that. And Lexis was the last I'd have expected to notice but then again nothing passes by him.

"You didn't have to hit me," I say reluctantly touched by his looking out for me.

"True,it's not like there's only one way of stopping you," He says grinning as he leans in to me. My eyes widen.

His eyes look into my eyes and then move to my lips. I draw in my lip to bite it.

"If your lips come in contact with your teeth, my lips will come in contact with yours," He says. My teeth stay frozen above my drawn in lip,he'll kiss me? I slowly release my lip.

He smirks and sits down next to me on the chair next to my bed he was previously seated on.

"What has been stressing you out?" He asks.

"School?" He asks searching my eyes for answers. I snicker.

"Starts with an L and ends with an S" I say.

    He was one of the main reasons I was stressed out, his bipolar nature, what ever was happening between us and what may happen but the other reason was the hearing coming up, the hearing Jamie said won't be approved, the hearing I didn't want approved.

He looks me straight in the eyes with an expression too deep to decipher, I turn my face not wanting to drown in his eyes.

"I....I'm sorry," He says.

     I immediately feel bad. That apology felt loaded with emotions. Like I had ripped him up and torn out a part of him to get it. Was it that hard for him to apologize? Had he ever even apologized to anyone? I don't remember having witnessed that, he lived life how he wanted never looking back or regretting his actions and their effects. Lexis had a lot of pride and his saying sorry must have taken a lot.

I smile and pat his hands.

"Thank you" I say.

"For what?" He asks looking confused.

"Saving me" I say, his eyes look pained and too tired to think of why, I drift back to sleep.
