One of my favorite actually scratch that, my only favorite and the only author on wattpad that I ever could finish her book and go past 40 chapters once said when you are sad or mad pick up your pen and add to your book. It's hard and challenging when you are going through dark times to do that but writing is what always saw me through my childhood. This chapter is being written after I decided to quit a job I just started and loved. Yes it was a good job but it was time for me to leave. My heart hurts for the money I could have made and used to help not just myself and my family but others who lack. I hope you like it and it translates to something beautiful as my heart cries let my tears form beautiful words that will be engraved forever in your heart.

"So?" Keith says.

"So?" I reply walking to pick my backpack.

"Keith, I'll be back," I say.

"Still seeking answers?" He asks and I nod.

"Do you need me to come with you? I still owe Iong hair a punch," He says. I chuckle and shake my head.

"No, I need to do this on my own" I state. He nods a worried expression on his face.

"Call me if you need me ok? I'll do the punching for you," He says.

"Okay," I smile in reply stepping out.

       I request a cab from the front desk. As I sit awaiting my cab I think of my actions. I needed to find answers and to do that I needed to find Lexis. The cab arrives and I give out instructions to my hall.

          As I walk into Greece hall I take a deep breathe and bite my lips. I didn't want to be here. Yet I needed to be here. I wanted answers, I needed answers yet the walls seemed to be laughing at me and mocking me. Every eye that beheld me held some form of pity, laughter at my demise, curiosity at why I was back, questions on the past, present and future or whispers that sounded like pins being inserted in my ears. I wanted to hide but had nowhere to hide. Every path held its obstacles and it felt facing it was while the hardest, also the best option. I sigh and step into the elevator as it raises me like a lamb walking towards slaughter. I didn't know who I'd see or what their reaction would be. Or mine for that matter. But I needed to do this to prevent further harm. I didn't know what to say or what they'd say. I hoped for the best but doubted that outcome.

       I stand in front of my room door unsure. Behind this doors lays what can make or break me. I was broken already so it'll ruin me. At the end of it all will I be healed or in need of healing? I shut my eyes and push the doorknob opening the doors revealing the whole crew with the exception of MJ.

"Hera!" Reid shouts rushing to me. I look around and all around me I see worried, indifferent and guilty faces. Jess turns away and focuses on her phone like I didn't exist. Where they all here to find out if I slept with Lexis? To see who won?

"I didn't sleep with Lexis," I say at the same time Reid says,

"Have you seen Lexis?"

"What?" We both say and all eyes fall on me.

"Why didn't you?" Karen asks.

"Shut up Karen," Reid says.

"You should be thankful Lexis even wanted to sleep with you,"Karen starts.

"Shut up Karen!" Zane, Lucas and Reid say together shutting her up.

"What did you say? You can't find Lexis?" I ask Reid trying to ignore Karen and focus on what Reid had said. Reid takes a second to recover shaking his head and letting out a deep breathe.

"After....well this afternoon's event, he met with his dad and had a huge fall out, no one has seen him since," Reid says.

"Have you called him?" I ask.

"Countless times but it's switched off and we have searched everywhere he normally goes but can't find him," Reid says.

"Hera, I know we wronged you and you won't want to help us or even Lexis but I'm begging you, if you developed even an atom of feelings for Lexis and that atom is still there then tell us where he is if you know," Reid says.

"Stop asking her, if we don't know she won't either," Karen says and Reid glares at her.

"Hera?" Reid says turning back to me.

"Please?" Jess says voice shaky looking at me for the first time.

     Where could Lexis be? Somewhere no one would think of or know. Somewhere he could stay while in pain. Somewhere he could be alone.

       My eyes widen in realization as I rush out ignoring the voice of Reid calling for me. If I was right then I had no intention of letting them know where he was. Partly because it meant he wanted to be alone and secondly because they deserved to stay worried about Lexis with no information on his whereabouts after what they'd done to me, it was a little punishment compared to what they should get. I call a cab and give directions out. Hopefully I can find my way from the area to the place.

       As I'm dropped off I try searching my memory for how to get there. Making my way through various wrong streets and turns I finally get there and stand in front of the door unsure. What if he isn't here? And if he is what business is it of mine? Why did I care so much even after everything? Should I just leave? What if I end up getting hurt instead? Could I take facing the truth?

       I open the door praying the door is locked but it opens up. I sigh and step in. The place is dark with no sign of light. I walk forward seeking a switch and turn it on. Looking around I see no sign of Lexis. I step in and walk towards the room were the paintings where. The door is open. I step in and turn on the light. Seated on the ground knees to the chest and his head on his knees, is Lexis.

He looks up.

"You came," He says his eyes red, unsure yet relieved.

"I came,"I reply.
