'I'm sorry Alex, I have to go!'

'Alex, get away from here now!'

'I love you Juliet'
-
'Please Alex, let me explain'
-
'She's not going anywhere!'

'I do love you Alex'

'Goodbye'

Alex's eyes opened abruptly as she shot up from the bed. Sweat trickled down her forehead and her breathing was rather uneven. Alex clutched the sheets draped over her and choked back a sob.
'Mason' Alex thought solemnly. It has only been a few hours since Mason last said goodbye to Alex. That one moment still laid fresh in her, plaguing her thoughts, her senses, and even her dreams.
"Mason." Alex whispered dejectedly. Alex felt her vision getting blurry so she quickly wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. After taking a few moments to calm herself, Alex finally realized where she was.
She wasn't inside her familiar fuzzy, pink wallpaper covered room. There was no mirror, no doll house, and definitely no clothes scattered all around the floor. Instead of having pink walls, this room had blue walls. Instead of a doll house, there were action figures lined up neatly in row. Instead of a clothing covered floor, this floor was spotless. And sitting awkwardly in the chair adjacent to the bed, hugging one of his lame dolls – they're action figures! – was none other than...
"Justin!"
"What?! I told you already, that space cow from my Captain Jim-Bob Shirwood Farmhouse Space Command Module is absolutely fine! "Justin cried.
He quickly stood up from his seat, tripping due to the fact that his limbs were still wrapped up in the thin blankets. Justin crashed to the floor with a thud, making Alex snort in amusement, momentarily forgetting about him.
It took Justin a few moments before he was able to escape from the stupid blanket. When Justin stood up, finally freed from the sheets, Alex took notice of him. His hair was all disheveled and his clothes were the same from the hours before. Justin's eyes were laced with tiredness, and Alex could tell that he had just fallen asleep.
"You were crying."
Justin's voice quickly snapped Alex back from her dazed state. As she blinked, Justin quickly approached her side. He enveloped her into a tight hug before she could even protest.
"It's okay Alex. That jerk never deserved you. You're much too good for him." Justin mumbled. He gently stroked Alex's hair as he continued to comfort her.
In her fragile state, Alex could do nothing but just return the embrace. Her heart hurt too much to shoot a witty comeback – not even the usual 'I know I am'. Justin only tightened his hold on her as Alex leaned her head against his shoulder.
After a few moments, Alex turned her head up towards Justin. It was then that she realized that Justin had also been crying. His eyes were red and she could see faint traces of tears on his face. She wasn't the only one who was hurting.
Alex leaned back onto Justin's shoulder and took a deep breath. Her heart hurts a lot right now, but then again Justin's probably hurts just as much.
Justin. Justin. Justin. Justin. It's always Justin. Justin is always the one that she goes to when she's hurt. He's always the one that can make her feel better no matter what the situation. Justin's always the one that knows what she really feels. He's probably the only one who really understands her. Of course there's her mother, and her best friend, but they are just... they don't... they aren't Justin.
There are some things that need a mother's advice and there are some things that needs a best friend's support. Then there are things that just need Justin.
They might get on each other's case a lot, but they always have each other's back – especially now since they both lost something important. But then again, they have something just as valuable.

Each other.

A/N: Sorry for the fact that I've been M.I.A. busy with school and stuff like that. I'll try to update more often now since it is a new year.
Watched Wizards vs. Werewolves and LOVED IT. So sad, but I just really liked how it turned out. I got inspired to write but I didn't know what to write. This came out, and I think it's okay. Hoped you guys get the prompt (kind of confusing?maybe?kinda?) I might write another one shot based on this episode, but who knows? Just need to wait and see where my inspiration takes me.
