Chapter 18

It was 3 in the morning when I woke up. I know that it is kind of early but I just couldnt sleep any longer. I paced the floor as i thought about what I was going to do with Alex. Why did I have to end up falling for her? I thought. I spent the next few hours thinking things out and finally I made a decision. I would get the money and once I had it I would take Alex if she will have me and run away to another state.              ~          "What are you doing up so early Frank?" I asked as I walked over to him.      ~       "Oh uh....hi Alex. I just couldnt sleep any longer....to many things on my mind I                                           guess. Sorry if I woke you. ~          "No,you didnt wake me. I couldnt sleep any more either. If you have a lot on your mind it helps to talk about it. You can talk to me if you want to."                      ~   I liked this new Alex. She is kind and sweet. I might as well tell her my plan since she is a part of all this after all. "Well first off I need to call your father because as mad as you may be at me for this,I really need the money. I also need to say something else and I dont quite know how to say it....for starters...Im sorry...for everything." I realized I hadnt looked at Alex while I was talking. I glanced at her and found her starring at me.                                     "Uh Alex? is everything ok?"      ~   I realized I had been daydreaming and well I was I had been starring at Frank. "Yes,I am fine. Before you say anything more though,I need to say something first if you dont mind." I have to tell him how I feel. I am nervous but I have to know if he feels the same way.
