Summary:Alex and Sonny have both lost a sibling. Depressed with their lives. To stop the depression, Alex is going to do something about it.
Disclaimer: I owe nothing, just the idea.
The next day had arrived and Alex woken up feeling it was the best sleep she had in a year. Her brother finally forgave her, which helped a lot. She walked to school with a smile on her face. Most students had to stop and stare because they weren't use to having Alex with a big smile on her face.
Even Sonny caught on to this and she only knew the girl for over a day. Sonny wished she could wake up feeling like that but it would be awhile before that day would come or maybe never.
Sonny entered the classroom before Alex could and she saw the red head that Alex called Harper. She sat down in her desk waiting for the arrival of Alex and the teacher. Surprisingly enough, the older girl showed up before the teacher did. Harper showed a of sign shock to her early-ness but mostly due to the smile that was on her face.
When Alex sat down Harper turned towards her. "I take it that you're much better today."
"Yeah, much better." The raven haired girl answered. "Thanks to Sonny." Sonny turned around in her desk when she heard her name. "It meant a lot to me."
"I know, that's why I did it." Sonny replied.
"Does this mean I don't have to hate Justin anymore?" The red head asked.
"I've never asked you to hate him." Alex answered.
"But I felt like it was implied." Alex chuckled at her friend. Harper has always had a crush on Justin and there is no sign of it stopping.
The older girl looked over to Sonny and quickly realized how unhappy she still looked. When she was depressed it wasn't much different to see the younger girl to look the same. But now that she feels better about everything, Sonny looks more depressed than she was before. "I don't understand what you see in him."
"Like you have better taste in boys."
Alex groaned, "Here we go."
"Remember Riley, that guy was checking every girl out. I knew he was going to cheat on you at some point. Then, there was Dean who was a drug addict but you didn't believe me until the cops busted through your front door. Oh, and Mason, you thought you loved him until he told Justin's girlfriend that he still loved her."
After the red head stopped talking, Sonny got up from her seat and left the room. Alex looked over to Harper, silently blaming her. She got up from her seat and followed Sonny out of the room. She found the girl leaning against the wall with her arms crossed over her chest. "Did Harper say something to upset you?"
"Mitchie had always made it seem easy to be in love. She seemed like she was the happiest girl on earth. She used to gush about Shane like he was the best thing that had ever happen to her. I wanted to feel what she had felt." Alex didn't want to say anything because she knew that there was more to come. "We're at the mall one day because Shane canceled. He said that he wasn't feeling well. So, we took that day to hang out. We were having a good time but it came to a completely stop when we saw him with another girl." Sonny took a deep breath before continuing.
"It was like her world made an180. I have never seen her more heartbroken in her life. She never wanted to get out of bed. I had to drag her out of bed and to school. Then one day we let her stay at home because we believed that maybe she needed some time alone." Tears were trailing down her cheeks. "So I figured I should get some ice cream to cheer up a bit. When I entered the apartment I saw the bathroom light on. I put the stuff away. I walked to bathroom and I saw her with a razor in hand. I went to call 9-1-1 and Dallas. I went back to where she was. There was a pool of blood around her and I knew it was too late."
"I fell by her side and just held her. I didn't know what else to do. Do you know how hard it is to see someone who looked like you lifeless on the bathroom floor? My life changed at that moment. Then Shane had the nerve to show up at her funeral with that same girl." Alex finally pulled her into a gentle hug.
"I would've punched him in the face." Alex said.
"I already did. I would've done more if Dallas didn't stop me." Sonny said while her head was resting on the other girl's shoulder. "She pulled the 'She wouldn't have wanted you to do that' card, so I had to stop."
"What the other girl do?"
"She left him on the spot."
Alex pulled back and placed the palms of her hands against Sonny's cheeks. She wiped the tears away with thumbs. She just looked into the younger girl's eyes, she finally saw how truly broken the girl was. Her mission was to make her happy, but she doesn't know how yet. "Do you want to come over today?"
Sonny's head nodded in Alex's hands. Alex took her hands off the girl's face. They walked back into the classroom and sat in their desks.

The two girls were in Alex's bedroom. They were just lying down on the bed just staring at the ceiling like it was going to do something. "What do you want to do?" The wizard asked.
"Just this, it feels relaxing." Sonny's head turned towards to the girl next to her. She realized other than Mitchie or Dallas she had never bonded so quickly with another person in her life. She closed her eyes as she recalled a moment that she and Mitchie had before they went to the mall.
"Mitchie, have you done your homework yet?" Sonny yelled from her room.
"No, it's Friday and I have a date with Shane." Mitchie yelled back.
Sonny walked to Mitchie's bedroom and stood at the doorway, "You know that Dallas won't let you leave unless you finish your homework."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah, seriously."
"Did you finish your homework?"
"Yeah, I did an hour ago."
"Overachiever. You care way too much about school"
"Sorry if I want to get by in life."
"But you don't have a life. Your head is always inside a book. I don't see you having dates."
"I do have dates."
"Study dates." Mitchie corrected. Sonny glared at her and stormed back to her room, slamming the door. "Sonny?" Mitchie called out when she followed her sister. "I'm sorry."Sonny opened the door to let her inside. They sat on the bed. "Sorry about the whole date thing." Sonny kept quiet and avoiding eye contact, something she only does when there was something wrong. "What's wrong?"
"I do get dates, Mitchie, not just study dates."
"But I haven't seen you with any guy."
Sonny nodded, "I never said I was dating guys."
"What do you-" Mitchie began to ask but stopped and realized what her sister meant. "Oh." She kept quiet for a couple a seconds. "So I'm taking back what I'm saying about you not getting dates."
"Thanks. So I'm taking this as you're okay with it?"
"Yeah, I'm okay with it. You're my sister. I'm okay with who you are."
"How do you think Dallas would take it?"
"I honestly don't know but whenever you decide to tell her I will be by your side."
"Thanks." Sonny hugged her sister.
They heard a phone ring in the background and Mitchie got off the bed, "I'll be right back, that's my phone." She walked out of the room. In the distance, Sonny was hearing what Mitchie was saying over the phone. "No, I'm not mad. You don't feel well. It's okay. I hope you feel better." Then there was footsteps making their way back to Sonny's room. "That was Shane, he doesn't feel well."
"Then maybe you can do your homework."
"Forget homework, let's hit the mall."
Sonny giggled. "Okay, let's do that."
"Then maybe I could help you scope out some girls."
"Uh no, but thanks for the offer."
"Anytime sis."
Sonny was laughing lightly at the memory. Her and her sister were complete opposites but loved each other no matter what.
"What's so funny?" Alex asked.
"Just remembering something." Sonny answered.
"What did you remember?"
"Something that I had told Mitchie before we went to the mall that day." The smile that had been on Sonny's face was no longer there.
"What was it, if you don't mind me asking?"
"It's something that I want to tell my older sister first before I tell anyone else. But when I do, will be by my side?"
Alex nodded. In a way, Alex had reminded her of Mitchie. Maybe that's why she was bonding so well with the other girl. What she was feeling felt like anything but sisterly but her mind wasn't ready to deal with this, not yet at least.
