He Let Her Down ((Alex))

[Jacqueline]

Alex sighed and listened to Greg. It was easy to see that he was still mad at Audrey though. He couldn't believe that she thought that he had had sex with Cassie! Like he would do that! He had told Audrey a long time ago that he had never had sex before, and Cassie had been his first girlfriend since then. Like his first time would be with Cassie! He was slowly starting to realize what she had said, he wasn't thinking that well. What did she mean by "You chose someone else over me! I thought I meant more to you than that!"? He'd have to ask her about it at a later time, when she wasn't mad at him. Could Greg have been right the day that he had met Cassie? Now Alex was confused, and it showed on his face.

Audrey wiped her eyes. "I just can't handle this anymore..." she said softly.

[Jacqueline]

Alex wanted to say something, but he couldn't think of anything to say that wouldn't make Audrey mad.

[Chelsea]

Audrey sat down on the couch and buried her head in her hands. "We should go..." Cara said softly. Greg and Cara quickly left. They didn't really want to be stuck in between this anymore. It was awkward.

[Jacqueline]

Bye. Alex said to Cara and Greg. He sat down beside Audrey on the couch. Audrey... I'm sorry, about everything. You're upset and I shouldn't have fought with you, and I should have been with you earlier. Basically I should have done just about everything the opposite of what I did do. he said softly. He said just about everything because he was glad that he hadn't slept with Cassie, that should have happened how it did. Well, except for the argument.

[Chelsea]

Audrey started crying a little harder. She didn't answer Alex. She was just really upset and she felt bad.

[Jacqueline]

Alex hugged Audrey. He decided that he might as well try to hug her and make her feel better. Things couldn't get much worse than they were right now anyways...

[Chelsea]

Audrey started crying hysterically. She was so embaressed. "I'm sorry..." she whispered softly. "I...I didn't mean to yell or... God Alex... I'm so, so sorry..." She hugged Alex tightly.

[Jacqueline]

Alex hugged Audrey tightly. It's okay. You're upset and I was just making you madder and madder. I should have been more careful about what I said, and I shouldn't have yelled at you when you yelled at me.

[Chelsea]

Audrey was shaking. "No... I shouldn't have yelled... I should have believed you...it's just...I'm so mad and so upset...and...I really needed you today and I was just being selfish that you were with someone else and...I miss Beau and I just can't handle this!" she sobbed. It was clear that she was exasperated. She could barely talk. Her face was really red and she felt physically sick. She was drained. She wanted to go to bed but she didn't think she could make it up the stairs. She had a pounding headache.

[Jacqueline]

Audrey, it's okay. Alex said. She didn't need to keep pointing everything that she had done wrong. He looked at her, she was all red and looked kind of sick and tired. Do you want me to get you anything? he asked softly.

[Chelsea]

Audrey just shook her head. She buried her face against Alex's shoulder. "I didn't mean to yell...I'm sorry..." she sobbed. She just couldn't stop feeling guilty. Maybe the reason God had taken Beau away from her because she had been so jealous of Cassie. Because she hated seeing Alex happy with anyone other than her. She couldn't just be happy for her friend. She had to be a bitter bitch and she was being punished.

[Jacqueline]

It's okay. Alex said.

[Chelsea]

Audrey squeezed Alex's hand tightly. "I know I've been so bitchy these past weeks. I didn't mean it. I never meant to flip out at you over stupid things." she cried. Audrey was distraught. She just couldn't stop blaming herself and feeling guilty.

[Jacqueline]

It's okay Audrey. Don't worry about it. Stop finding things to apologize for. I've forgiven you for everything already. Alex said. He kissed the top of her head softly.
