Alex never wanted to move to the island. After all that happened to the coven he’d grown up in and his adoptive mother getting killed because of her use of magic (even though she was trying to save someone’s life with it), Alex was ready to leave the supernatural world behind him, however Esmeralda’s cousins, whom he lived with at the time, had encouraged him to join his friend in coming to Paradisus. For him it was temporary, so he simply lived with his friend and had every intention of leaving. That is, until he found out Charlie was on the island. The day he found her in the bakery, he’d never guessed they would have come so far, would be so in love, and now talking about spending lifetimes together.

Of course, relationships can be difficult, and after a little fight Alex had with Charlie, there was a part of him that felt he needed to prove that he would stay- even if it was just for her. So, Alex decided to find a place of his own- a place for the two of them to create a life and home together. Besides, with never being at his roommates’ house and always being at Charlie’s apartment without officially moving in, he was beginning to feel out of place again.

“Would you just trust me?” Alex let out a small laugh, teasing her as he led the way. He hadn’t told her exactly where they were going but at this point it was obvious that it was near the shifter woods. There was a mix of excitement and nerves that swirled in him as they made their way up the path, finally reaching one of the neighborhoods that set just a few miles outside of the woods. Alex tugged her along one of the paths and stopped in front of a little cottage, with white brick, dark shutters, and surrounded by trees, so much so that the most visible thing on the property was the stone path leading up to the door. “We’re here.” Alex beamed at the house, perhaps the happiest he’d been in weeks, before turning to look at Charlie once more. “I chose it with you in mind.” He added before gently tugging on her arm once again, inviting her to follow him to the front door.

This time you'll get what you give ll Rulie

It had been so nice to have five days without having to see Charlie's face. Hear his voice. Be in the same school with him. Ugh. She was not looking forward to seeing him tomorrow at school and she was thinking of skipping his class again but.. no. That would not work because she'd have to drop out of school if she was going to do that because having to repeat the year was not an option. She needed to get the hell out of there as quickly as she could. She couldn't stand another year in his presence... though maybe she'd get lucky and not have him for English but what were the chances? Ruby was never lucky. She wanted to scream after she'd talked to Kelly because.. it was even worse than she had imagine. Charlie was awful.. a monster. He'd wanted to... no. She couldn't even think about that without wanting to be sick. How could he? How could he hide what he was so well? He'd made Kelly feel unsafe, made her feel violated and... he needed to pay. She needed to get back at him and yet she wanted nothing to do with him but that wasn't possible. She had to do whatever she could to keep him away from Kelly. She couldn't let him move on from her because if -A was right and he would take her as the next best thing then... she'd have to make sure he stayed interested. Obsessed. He'd shown that he still was, right? Following her around... saying the things he had. So, it didn't actually make sense to her why he had chosen to end it but if he'd really wanted that he wouldn't' have been following her, right? She didn't know but she had to at least try to bring him back around. She couldn't just let him go after Kelly. Couldn't risk him forcing himself on her. She was thankful.. so so thankful that he hadn't done so in the car. Maybe he was worried someone would come by? Ruby didn't know but it made her feel awful, her stomach was twisting painfully as she thought about the tears in Kelly's eyes as she'd told her. How ashamed she'd looked. As if it was her fault. As if Charlie wasn't the monster and she'd somehow brought it upon herself. Kelly had looked scared as she told her that Ruby couldn't tell anyone. That she couldn't let on that she knew and she wouldn't. She just needed to figure out how to get Charlie to stay around her because he seemed to want to distance himself for whatever reason. Maybe it was a game? She didn't know but she knew one way that hadn't failed yet... drinking. She had to get drunk, well, not really but she had to pretend to be drunk. He'd never leave her alone. Maybe he just liked seeming like the guy who rescued girls.. maybe it made him feel better about how horrible he was. The other things he'd done to them. Ruby didn't know and didn't even really want to because he was disgusting. The whole thing was disgusting and she just wanted to smash something against his head. Make him hurt for what he'd done to her best friend but she couldn't. She had to play it cool.. not let on. That was her only option for the moment and so she grabbed a bottle when her parents weren't looking. That wasn't terribly hard as they rarely paid any attention to what she was doing. She drove to the hill because it was far away and she could pretend she couldn't drive home and freak about leaving her car if he decided to drag her home. He wouldn't though, right? That's what she was banking on so she drove to the hill, feeling a bit sick at what she was about to do and started drinking. Not enough to get drunk but she needed to look a little glazed. Needed to smell a bit like alcohol and then she walked further away, pouring some of it out so it'd appear she'd drank a lot more than she had before pulling out her phone. Would he come? He would.. he had to or this was all for nothing. She'd made certain to dress in a way that didn't look over the top but wasn't completely covered. She'd had to make sure all of her marks were covered though. Ruby took a deep breath before sending out a text to him, telling him if he would meet her on the hill. She'd made some mistakes on purpose so hopefully he'd get the idea that she wasn't sober.
