Alexis eventually fell asleep and she slept much of the day the next day.  She woke shortly before sunset and she went to make herself something to eat.  Checking her cell, she'd seen Brad had text her numerous times, none of the times apologizing merely just berating her and reminding her that she was his and belonged to no one else.  Apparently, he'd come by at some point but she never heard him knock.<br/><br/>She made herself a sandwich and went to get dressed.  Gazing into the mirror she saw the dark purple bruise on her cheek where Brad had hit her.  THere was no hiding it.  She sighed softly.  She thought about Marcus and she wondered if she'd ever see him again.
