Jester sighed and shook his head. "You gotta start eating more" He said, laughing. "Lets go up to the house.Im sure theres probably something up there." He exited the barn and headed for the house, following a small trail that led from house to barn

Alex skipped along beside him-it was the only way for her to keep up with his long strides. "I don't necessarily forget to eat, it's just that-" her voice cut off suddenly, and her eyes glanced to the ground. She slowly broke from a skip to a walk, her eyes still on the ground, her Vans hitting the ground in an even rythm.

Jester stopped and looked at her, then reached out and with one finger tipped her face up so that she met his eyes."Its just what?" He asked softly, watching her quietly.

"After you left, I..." she hesitated, shutting her eyes for a moment. "I fell apart. I refused to eat, refused to go to school. For over a month, all I did was lay in bed all day, crying when I could. I wound up in the hospital, and after that I went back to school, started eating again, but just barely-enough to keep me alive and out of the hospital. I never spoke, except to sing to myself. I tried so hard to keep going, so hard. When I realized that this wasn't going to work, there were only 2 options-kill myself, or find you. I picked to find you, because I knew you were still alive. It was so bad, Jester. So bad..." her voice finally trailed off. Once she had started talking, everything had come out at once. A single tear trailed down her cheek, and she swiped at it furiously, smudging her eyeliner but not really caring.

Jester gathered her into a tight hug and gently wiped a tear away."I had to leave" He said quietly. "I learned that night that my father was out of prision, escaped. I did'nt want to endanger your family, so I left. But I missed you alot. Too much for words" He hugged her closer. "Im glad you decided to live" He murmered quietly

That was enough. Alex broke down into sobs. It was the first time she had cried in front of anybody, including Jester. "Dammit Jester. You could have at least brought me with you," she managed to say slightly angrily before breaking into tears again. She buried her face in his chest, just letting the tears come for once, instead of trying to hold them in. Her sobs soon quieted into small sniffles, and she looked up at Jester. "I'm glad I did too. Otherwise I couldn't have found you again," she said with one small, teary smile. She snaked one arm up to swipe at the tears again, leaving streaks of eyeliner down her face and rings around her eyes, which were now a clear shining violet with just a tinge of grey. OOC: Yes, I swore. It's one of the few posts you'll see from me like this. Alex doesn't swear often. Or at all. XD

Jester hugged her closer, stroking her back to comfort her as she cried."Im sorry" He murmered gently. "The only thing I could think of was getting away, drawing my father away from your family.I did'nt want to chance you being hurt." A few tears slipped from his own emerald eyes.

"Me getting hurt? I spent a month thinking you had been kidnapped by your father-the police alerted us too. I really do hope they catch him, if they haven't already. Just, please, please, don't you ever leave me again. I don't think I could take that sort of pain again," she said. Alex reached up to wipe away Jester's few tears, that same small sad smile still on her face.

Jester smiled reassuringly. "I wont" He said quietly. "I promise" He could'nt leave her behind again.It had nearly killed him the first time

Alex nodded, satisfied. She could see the pain still held in the emerald green eyes she had come to recognize. "Good. Now, can we please go get something to eat?" she asked, her stomach growling. "Real food would be good." Her normal smile tentatively returned, her hand fiddling with her earrings and her bangs again.

Alex looked around the kitchen, smiling softly. "Nice place you've got here," she noted softly, leaning against the counter. Her eyes were beginning to dim back to their normal grey color, although it was still more purple than grey at the moment.

Jester smiled slightly as he quickly dug out bread and some sandwich makings,as well as two apples. He grinned before beginning to make his sandwich.

Alex grinned, easily stealing some bread and sandwich stuff. She danced as she made her sandwich, bouncing from foot to foot. Finishing up, she bit into it happily, still bouncing around the kitchen.

Jester grinned as he bit into his sandwich, watching her. "do you ever stop dancing?" He teased, laughter in his voice. He reached over and flicked on the radio. Im Alive by Celine Dion began to play. Mmmmm ... Mmmmm ... I get wings to fly Oh, oh ... I'm alive ... Yeah
When you call on me When I hear you breathe I get wings to fly I feel that I'm alive
When you look at me I can touch the sky I know that I'm alive
When you bless the day I just drift away All my worries die I'm glad that I'm alive Jester danced along, grinning
