And here's the final chapter. Well, wasn't that fun?

Chapter 5: Is It Over Yet?

Alex sighed as she downed another beer at the ravine. The coke just wasn't cutting it for her. Sam had been there for awhile, but she'd eventually left. It was just her, the few druggies and passed out kids, and the slowly burning fire.

"Evening Lexi." Alex looked up to see none other then Jay.

"What do you want?" She said, bored at the very sight of him.

"To get even." He whispered as he begun undoing his belt. It took Alex a minute to realize what he meant, but by then it was too late.

"No… Jay… NOOOOOO!!!!"

Alex awoke to the sound of many voices, but she couldn't recognize any of them.

"Seems like she's coming around."

"Good, someone go tell her friends."

"Alexandra Nunez? Can you hear me?" She blinked once and started up at the doctors who stood before her.

"Yeah… where am I? What happened?" The doctors just looked down at her.

"Alexandra… can you answer a few questions first?" Alex nodded and continued to stare blankly at the two doctors.

"What's your middle name?"

"Marie."

"Who is your current roommate?"

"Eleanor Nash."

"Can you tell me where you work and what you do?"

"Degrassi Community High School and I'm a janitor." The doctors exchanged looks and nodded.

"Thank you, Alexandra. We just wanted to make sure that you hadn't suffered any more injuries to your head." Alex just nodded, understanding their concern.

"Why am I here?" One doctor left the room as the other pulled up a chair.

"A friend of yours, Samantha I believe her name was, found you at the ravine. She claimed you were naked and passed out. She also said there was a bit of blood running out of your vagina. We checked you out and it appears that you were raped." All the color drained from Alex's face as she heard those three words.

'You were raped…'

"Jay…"

"Is that his name?"

"Yes… Jason Hogart." The doctor nodded.

"The police were waiting to see if you wanted to press any charges. Would you like to?" She nodded, absent mindedly.

"Yes."

"Okay. Would you like any visitors? A group of your friends have been here since Eleanor was informed that you were here." Alex nodded again, this time being snapped from her thoughts.

"How many of them are here?" She asked.

"Just four of them; Eleanor being one of them." Alex nodded and thanked the doctor as he left. A few minutes passed and then there was a light knock on the door.

"Come in." The door opened slightly and all Alex saw was a glimpse of red hair before she felt her lungs being crushed.

"ALEX!" Ellie cried as she clung to her for dear life.

"Hey El." Ellie's head moved back enough so Alex could see Marco, Dylan, and… Paige?

"We heard what happened from the doctors. Who raped you? I've got to know… I'll kill that son of a bitch…" Ellie said as she sat down on the side of Alex's bed, grabbing her right hand.

"Jay…" Marco and Dylan came up to hug Alex.

"Don't worry, sweetie. We'll take care of him." With that, they left, presumably to go kill Jay before the police could save him. Paige stepped up to Alex side.

"Hey."

"Hey." Ellie got up.

"I'll be right back." Alex nodded and Ellie left too. Paige sat down in Ellie's spot.

"I know this must be a lot for you right now…" Paige started, but Alex cut her off.

"No Paige, you don't know. You don't know what it's liked to be raped by some stupid scumbag." Paige's compassion for Alex soon vanished.

"No Alex, I do. A few years ago, I was raped myself by some guy I thought I could trust. Don't even pretend you know me." Alex glared at Paige.

"I don't." There was an awkward silence as Paige realized Alex still didn't have her memory back.

"I'm sorry… I forgot that you…"

"Couldn't remember shit. Yeah, I know." Again, silence followed. Alex sighed, knowing she shouldn't have snapped at Paige.

"Look, I'm sorry. It's just… people are just now telling me things about my own life that I should have been told awhile ago." Paige nodded.

"Like what?"

"Like… how I ended up losing my memory… everything about you… I didn't even know you existed before Monday!" Paige sighed.

"I asked them not to. I wanted to talk to you myself." Alex looked at Paige in the eyes.

"Why? Why would you ask my friends to keep something like that from me?" Paige stood up.

"Because Alex… I wasn't ready to face the reality that you had tried to kill yourself over me and it ended up with Chad almost killing you when he saw your hospital bill. I wanted to tell you when I thought I could deal with it. I'm sorry… it was selfish…"

"YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT IT WAS SELFISH!" Alex screamed, but Paige shushed her.

"Yeah, I know. But when I had heard about it… it just killed me, Alex, because I still loved you. As a matter of fact… I still love you know. Brandon means absolutely nothing to me. Even Spinner couldn't get me over the fact that when you broke up with me, you took a part of my heart with you." At that, Alex visibly calmed down.

"I'm… sorry I freaked out at you Paige. It's just… all this stuff has really been getting to me all week. And now this thing with Jay… and seeing you again… I don't even know what to think anymore…" Paige smiled softly and sat down again.

"I know this probably isn't the best time, but do you mind… if I kiss you?" Alex said nothing as she leaned forward and captured Paige's lips with her own. After that, her world went black.

I sat on the floor… alone. But I wasn't alone, was I? I had Ellie… I had Paige… I was far from alone. They were enough to keep me happy.

"A…" I mean, for seven months, I've been trying to remember everything that happened to me before the accident.

"Al…" And for the past week, the missing parts were beginning to be filled back in.

"Alex…" Even though I can't remember it, I know all the important things that happened, right? And I was continuing on in my life, making more important things happen each day.

"Alex." And now there was Paige and maybe the important things would be including her from now on.

"ALEX!" And just like that…

"Paige." Paige looked down at me, and I just looked up.

"Alex… what just happened?"

"I… I remember everything…"

The End

That's right, it's the end. Review and let me know what you thought. Yeah, it's over. No squeal or anything... Degrassi kinda blows right now.
