Alex suddenly felt very shy, "You don't need to make excuses to see me. We're... friends....or....whatever. I'm not really sure yet," Alex croaked out. She was glad that Fiona was there. "Thank you for coming to see me," Alex smiled and coughed softly. Gina interrupted with the promise of food. Alex realized suddenly that she was famished. Smiling at her aunt as she left the room, Alex turned her attention back to Fi. "Sure, if you wouldn't mind. I do need some help catching up. I hope I didn't miss much,"  she spoke softly as she squeezed Fiona's hand.<br/><br/>Hearing voices out in the hallway, Alex pulled her hand back to rest in her lap. She wasn't sure if she was ready to tell everyone what was going on. She wanted to take time to process her feelings first.<br/><br/>"I brought you a get well present, biotch. No need to th -," Carmen said in a singsong voice as she burst in, stopping mid word as she spotted Fiona. Her eyes widened as her lips pursed, "Hello," Carmen said coolly, trying to be civil, dropping her bags by the bed.<br/><br/>Gina poked her head in, "Dinner is ready girls, you too Carmen." "Thanks Gina, I'd love to, " Carmen said. Alex's jaw dropped a little, this was going to be awkward.
