kara took a small deep breath in as she paced the kitchen floor. she had been thinking of ways to tell her mom her news for weeks now and it was finally time. she poured a small glass of orange juice and took a sip, hoping it would give her some sort of strength to tell her. she pursed her lips together as she heard footsteps but smiled when she saw it was mellie, “hi momma.” she said, “do you have to run to work right now?” the blonde asked, cocking her head sideways a little. @melodystafford

getting a call from her boss, mellie quickly got ready to head to work. it was one case after another after another. mellie often wondered how she made it through the day with as gruesome as some of the cases could be. walking into the kitchen, she grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge. "yeah..i do, bubs." she said, not looking up from her phone. when she looked up, she could tell something was wrong with kara. "i can be late, sweetheart. what's wrong?"

Xander nodded, trying to pull himself together, wanting more than anything to spill everything to her. But he was also scared and he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if something happened to her in retaliation so he kept his mouth shut. “I know, momma. You’re the best.”

She wasn't going to pry but when he called her momma,she immediately backtracked and changed her mind. "Alex..baby..you haven't called me momma since you were small. what's going on? You can tell me anything. I won't be upset, I promise."

Alexander leaned into her and shut his eyes, inhaling her scent. His mom always managed to make him feel safe and protected, even for just a moment. “Thanks, I needed that. But I’m fine, honest. Just normal teenager stuff.”

Mellie frowned, scrunching up her nose. She didn't believe him, but she wasn't going to push him. She didn't want him feeling like he couldn't come to her. "You know if you ever need anything I'm here, okay?"

Alexander let out the breath he was holding and relaxed. “Thanks mom,” he said quietly, staring at his feet. “Could I maybe have a hug?” He whispered.

Melody nodded her head, as she watched Alexander. Something was wrong, and she was going to figure it out.She smiled, "Of course baby. You never have to ask," She wrapped her arms around him, kissing the top of his head. "You sure you okay?"

“Yes ma’am. Under no uncertain terms will I flinch,” he snarked, closing his eyes and waiting for the sting. He hissed softly when it finally did but true to his word he stayed still.

Melody applied the cream, patting Alexander on the shoulder when he hissed. she sighed, grabbing a band aid and undoing the wrapper, placing it over the scratch. "there, that'll do it."

thoughts on the clusterfuck that is the staffords?

let’s discuss the clusterfuck that is most likely your life. please explain to me how they’re a clusterfuck? i think you’re more talking about some other family because that’s not the staffords. i think it’d be best not to say things like that about one of the richer families in jefferson.

Alexander shook his head rather violently in response and then winced in pain. “No mom, honestly, it’s just a scratch, I’ll be fine once I get the first aid kit.”

Melody let out a huff using Alexander's words. She walked out of the bathroom and set the first aid kit on the counter, taking out the antibiotic cream and a band aid. "Just a scratch my ass," she muttered. "Don't flinch, ok?"

Alexander looked down, the guilt he was feeling felt suffocating, but if he told her the truth everyone would be in danger. Instead he settled on shooting her a tiny smile that he hoped was convincing, a lie falling from his lips with now familiar ease. “Serves me right, mouthing off to someone times my size. I was in the park and some guy was bugging this girl and I told him to piss off because she was interested. He punched me, had a ring on. No big deal.”

"no big deal? alexander.." she sighed, glancing at his face. "do you want to press charges?" she asked, walking into the bathroom to get the first aid kit.

Alexander wiped at the cut on his cheek with his fist, debating on whether he should even bother bugging the person with his problem, but the blood staining his knuckles answered the question for him. “You don’t happen to have a first aid kit with you, do you?”

"of course i do, honey. what happened?" she asked, hoping he would tell her.

Elias sighed as his wife placed a hand on his shoulder, her simple touch immediately calming him. He was getting frustrated that no one would let him do anything, so he was grateful that at least his wife seemed to understand. “I just want to go home. Have I said before how much I hate hospitals?”

Mellie grinned, "You'll be home soon, babe. I promise. How are you feeling?" she asked, placing a kiss on his cheek.

Elias’ yell of frustration could be heard down the hallway. He had woken from his medically induced coma at some point last night, and ever since then, the male had been trying to get out of bed. He didn’t like feeling helpless and weak, especially around a bunch of strangers. He knew they were right of course. His leg was in a cast, and he was still wincing with pain every time he moved, but he just wanted to be out of that hospital room. The nurse came rushing in from down the hall, urging him back into bed. “I don’t want to stay in bed. I just want to get up and use the bathroom. I can do it, just give a damn walker or something.”

Hearing Elias' yell from down the hall, Mellie quickly made her way to his room, crossing her arms as she watched the scene unfold in front of her. "Hey, babe chill." She said, walking into his room, and placed a hand on his shoulder as she looked at the nurse, "Could you get him a walker please? We can handle it fro here. Thank you."
