It been a while since Alexis had been to Grandma Maude's house, the young woman couldn't honestly remember the last time. When Grandpa had still been alive, she had loved going there. He got her, he always seemed to get everyone. She had loved her grandfather, he didn't him snide remarks about her hair or how she dressed. He seemed to want each of his grandchildren to just be themselves. That's not say she didn't love her grandmother. She had but...She wished Grandma Maude had understood that she wasn't going to be the perfect granddaughter. Alexis had to be who she was, not who anyone else wanted her to be. After Grandpa John died, everything changed. Her father, Johnny, would fight with Grandma Maude about how Alexis dressed. Like Grandpa, her father and mother thought there were far worse things Alexis could go do besides dying her hair black and wearing dark clothes. Her parents had wanted her to be happy. Grandma Maude hadn't agreed.<br/><br/>Alexis had been with Travis for almost four years. Things were pretty serious between them, they thought of getting married. They hadn't set anything in stone or officially got engaged because they were both so busy with work. She had spent the last few major holidays with him. Her parents loved him and his family loved her too. In fact, her parents had spent Christmas with her and Travis in LA, instead of coming back to England. In hindsight, Alexis felt awful. If she had known it had been Grandma's last Christmas, she would have come. Even if she would have made snide remarks about her hair and Travis' tattoos. At least she would have seen her grandmother one last time. Everything looked better in hindsight. And now...She never even got to say goodbye.<br/><br/>Alexis wasn't her normal self, not very talkative at all during the drive. She loved Travis so much, he didn't push her to talk. He was there for her, letting her talk as much as she wanted. Which wasn't much on the drive. Just having him with her helped a little, though. She was glad she didn't have to do this alone. And she was happy that her father told her he and her mom would be there soon too. Although they weren't leaving until morning. Her mother didn't drive and her father's eyesight was starting to go. He wasn't supposed to drive at night.<br/><br/>"Turn right here."<br/><br/>Alexis told her boyfriend and, before she knew it, they had arrived at her grandparents' home. Aunt Bess would be there, she thought. Aunt Bess had lived with Grandma Maude, taking care of her in her final years. Pamela no doubt would be there, she had always been the good grandchild. Always coming around, even if she had married a douche bag. Better then Alexis had been. Her thoughts about Pam and her asshole husband were confirmed when she saw the their car. She and Travis got out of their car.<br/><br/>Alexis knocked on the door and Joseph, her grandmother's old butler, answered. She had known him all her life. Alexis gave him a sad smile.<br/><br/>"Hello, Joseph. It's me, Alexis."<br/><br/>She said, wondering if he remembered her or not. If he did, he'd probably would remember how much her grandmother had hated her dying her hair black. She was naturally a blond and her black hair made her skin look so pale. It worked well for her modeling career. She took a hold of Travis' arm.<br/><br/>"And this is Travis, my boyfriend."<br/><br/>"Hello."<br/><br/>Alexis wasn't sure if Joseph would remember Travis either, she had been dating since she was eighteen. She had brought him around a few times, Grandma hadn't liked how many tattoos he had or his mohawk. It wasn't up right now, he hadn't had time coming here from their hotel room.
