Twilight Thoughts

[Jeremy Hunter]

Izzy tapped the side of her desk, staring at the blank diary page. She didn't know what to write. Yet her mind still was cluttered with thoughts. Her mind wandered, then snapped back into place as the front door closed. Alexis must have returned from Catherine's.
Izzy dragged a picture over to the top of the entry started to type.

Entry Eight: Mother

I only knew my real mother for a few short weeks. All I can remember of her is a smile.



Above, there? That's the woman who's loved me like her own daughter since I came here, cast down and broken. Hell, she cared for me before that. Dad was never the best with kids...Zack and Alexis? They took care of me.

Alexis is my godmom; Trisha, my real mother, had named her Godmother (no, not a fairy, just a regular godmother!). She always cared for me, and always has been there for me. Alexis...she's great. Does all the cooking and cleaning, doesn't bother me to do it (probably why I usually clean my room up myself; she doesn't nag me every minute.) and always understands when I need to be alone. She's been there to hold me when I've cried, been there to smile when I've been happy, and there to keep me from being lonely. I lost count how many times I've used her lap as my pillow when I cried over Jeremy, over Ashley. She'd just stroke my hair and calm me down, then gently lift me to a sitting position and get me some hot chocolate.

I remember...when I had my fun time with Ash, after she was married. I started crying my eyes out when James came. Alexis was called in, and knew exactly what was wrong. She knows me like no other...
I wish there was a way I could repay the kindness she has always shown me.

I don't know what else to say, other then...well...the only thing she ever did wrong to me was dating Catherine, but, whatever. That was a one night stand; still, woulda been nice to have been informed.
It's ok...she's happy with Catherine, that's all that matters...and hey...she's fine with me sleeping with one of her superior officers.
Oh well. She's an awesome mom, what can I say?
