Louisa:

My eyes lingered on Alex who finally came out of the car with a pale expression as I pulled away from the kiss. My heart was pounding furiously that my chest hurt.

"Whoa, Louisa!" Ryan exclaimed, his eyes widening. "That was sweet."

I smiled faintly at him before taking my gaze back to Alex. I slightly enjoyed the look of discomfiture on his features.He had paled and at this point I didn't care anymore. Everything I did was intentional. I wanted Alex to see that, to back off. And I'm so glad he's seen us together. I loved it. The surge of triumph was almost maddening.

Alex finally walked inside the party with an inscrutable expression.

Well... who cares?

I definitely don't.

"I didn't expect that, but thanks." I heard Ryan's voice and I creased slightly. Damn... now I have to explain myself.

"Sorry. It was a mistake. I shouldn't have –"

"It's okay, it's okay." He grinned like a pleased child. "That's all the proof I needed." He whispered, pushing a strand from by face. "That'

    Jenna:STILL ON FLASHBACK…"How could you frame Louisa?" Clara screamed, her voice hoarse from yelling. "She's a good person, and you're a monster! You're a cancer, a plague, a destructive force that needs to be eradicated!"She grabbed my hair, yanking my head back, and slammed her fist into my face. I felt a burst of pain, but I didn't make a sound."You're going to pay for what you've done," Clara hissed, her breath hot against my ear. "You're going to rot in jail, and I'm going to make sure of it. You're going to regret the day you ever crossed us!"She slammed her fist into my face again, and again, each blow landing with precision and fury. I didn't react, didn't flinch, although my face was already swollen and tears flooding my face.. fuck! It hurts like hell. She shot me a bitter look, before leaving."Run. I mean it, Jenna, run." Yolanda whispered, holding her arms. "They'll destroy you for good." I didn't need to be told twice. Clara would've gladly killed me..**I yanke

    Jenna:THREE YEARS AGO…flashback “I didn't take the pills. I'm still carrying your child Xander, whether you like it or not!" I said defiantly."Louisa is gone, for good. You promised you'd marry me, Xander." I tried to act tough and remorseful but then I realized it's not helping matters."No! I didn't mean that. Please! I'm so sorry, forgive me for hurting her!" I fell to my knees, my hands clasped together in a desperate plea. I couldn't bear the thought of losing my Xander forever. I had to make him understand, to make him forgive me. I had no choice but to do it. He can't let go of me! Never! I'll kill for him. But first I need to get his forgiveness."Xander, please...you have to forgive me. I know what I did was wrong, but I was blinded by my own jealousy and love for you." I sobbed, my words tumbling out in a rush.But Alex just stood there, his eyes cold and unforgiving. I could see the anger and hurt radiating from him, and it cut me to the bone. Gosh. Yolanda's so careles

    I'm so sorry, Nickie," he said gently. "No one should have to go through what you're going through. But please know that you're not alone. There are people who care, who want to help."Nickie looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears. "You don't understand," she whispered. "I've lost everything. My family, my job...I've got nothing left. And this baby..." She sobbed, her body shaking with grief.Alex got up and sat down beside her on the bed, putting a gentle arm around her shoulders. "You have me, Nickie," he said softly. "And you have this baby. That's something to hold on to, isn't it?"Nickie looked up at him, her eyes searching for something, anything, to cling to. And in that moment, Alex knew that he had to help her find a way out of the darkness. He should really help her. She's going through a lot."Where do you stay?" He asked."I don't have a place. I got kicked out three days ago. I've been on the streets." Alex's eyes widened in shock. "Three days ago? Nickie, why did

She sat up with a start, looking around the slightly darkened room in a panic."Where are the kids?" Louisa screamed. "Someone took them! Alex!!!"she growled when she realized he's still asleep. She pulled up by the collar and he sprang to life immediately."What's... Lou?" He asked dreamily, his eyes still half closed."Someone took her!" She screamed again, pushing him off and scrambling out of the bed, her heart pulsating with fear. For a moment, she couldn't shake off the vivid images from her nightmare. She had dreamed that someone had taken her unborn child, and she was frantically searching for them everywhere. The feeling of desperation and helplessness still lingered, making her feel anxious and scared. Alex, sensing her distress, came beside her and wrapped his arms around her. "Hey, what's wrong?" he
