"So how are you?" Ms morrell asked, starting the conversation

Alex sighed, scratching the back of her head "Em.. I don't really know" she paused, "It's been a week since my mom died and I still don't really feel anything. I feel selfish, I'm still mad at her and it's like.. my brain won't let me feel the loss" She explained, or tried to. She was finding it hard to word exactly it she felt.

"Why are you mad?" She asked, scribbling down some notes

"To put it in easy terms.. we eh.. we had a few disagreements. Things had been rocky for a while" she responded as best she could "She wanted to talk before she eh.. before she died and I was so persistent on ignoring her, all she wanted to was say goodbye" her voice trailed, she remembered her mother's last sorrowful stare

"Sometimes we grieve differently. You know you miss her but you also know you haven't a forgiven her for everything that's happened" ms Morrell  explained "What about stiles, you have been staying with him?" She asked

Alex nodded, a small smiling forming "he's perfect.. I think I'm falling for him. I think I might even love him" She admitted

"it's dumb" she shook her head

"Love is never dumb" ms Morrell spoke kindly to her student "it has a way of finding you when you most need it"

"How's Allison?" She asked, bringing it back the subject of conversation

Alex shrugged "I don't know.. I haven't seen her. It kills me not being able to see her but I can't go home not after.. well that doesn't matter" she shook it off

She groaned "I wish I could just hug her, she probably hates me but I miss her so much and I don't know how to fix things"

"I feel like I'm ruining everything... I can't help my grieving family because I can't grieve, I know stiles is having panic attacks.. I mean if course he is. He was a hostage and wasn't able to do anything, but he refuses to talk to me because he wants to focus on how I feel. It's like no matter what happens, everybody is focusing on me or I'm making things worse" she ranted "I just wish they could see that I'm fine" she let out an exasperated sigh, huffing in her seat

Ms Morrell looked up at Alex, her brow raised "I think we both know that's a lie"

Alex rolled her eyes "I may not be fine.." she corrected "I don't know what I am. I'm so lost with everything and it's like ever since I came to this town everything's been messed up"

"Do you miss your old town?" She asked

Alex nodded "we were normal then.. I had both my parents, I had my sister and I had a normal life, Now my moms dead my sister won't talk to me and I'm sure my dad wouldn't care if I died tomorrow"

"Do you wanna know what I think?"  She asked

"That's kinda why I'm here"

Ms Morrell smiled "I think you need to talk them.. tell them how you feel. I think your sister needs you as much as you need her. Youse are going through the same thing"
