9 THE DAY

Alex's alarm goes off and gets up and he takes a shower and gets dressed. He puts on a fancy shirt and a pair of jeans. He finished getting ready and he got a text from Lily. "Hey I'm on my way, be ready." Lily texted. Alex smiles and walks downstairs. Alex sees Mia was talking to Rose, Rose was fixing Mia's hair. Zane was fixing his tie. "Hey guys" Alex smiled. "Alex you look nice." Rose said. "You guys ready? Lily is on her way." "Yeah we're all ready." Rose said, finishing up Mia's hair. Alex walks outside and sees the limbo pulls up. Alex smiles and Lily gets out of limbo. "Hey Lily." Alex said, hugging her. She hugs him and smiles. "You ready?" She asked. "Yup, guys come on we're leaving." Alex screamed.

Zane, Rose, and Mia walk outside and Zane locks the door they all get in the limbo. "Lily this is Mia, Mia this is Lily, Lily is my partner in my business." Alex said. "Nice to meet you Lily." Mia holds out her hand.v"It's finally nice to meet you, Alex told me a lot about you." Lily said. Lily shakes Mia's hand and she smiles. "So Alex where are they going?" Mia asked. "Zane and Rose didn't tell you?" Lily asked. "No they didn't." Mia said. "They wanted you to tell her." Zane said. "We're going to my toy store and the orphan kids are going to be there." Alex said. "Oh okay." Mia said. They got to the toy store and saw a lot of people out of the store and the reporter was here too.

"This is a lot of people." Mia said. "Yeah it is." I said then I get out and so does everyone else and I unlock the doors and I turn on the lights and everyone gets everything set up."What time is the orphanage coming?" Rose asked. "They're going to be here any minute now." Alex said. "Alex!" A little kid said. Alex turns around and sees a little boy running up to him and he hugs him. "Hey Liam." Alex smiled. "I've missed you Alex." Liam hugging Alex. "I missed you too." Alex hugs him back. "Hey Alex." Jade said. "Hey Jade." Alex smiled. "Can I pick a toy out?" A little girl asked. "Let's get some cookies and milk first." Alex smiles and looks at the little girl. Everyone gets a plate and gets some cookies and milk.

"Hey Alex can I get a photo of you and the kids." A woman asked. "Yeah, come on guys let's take a photo." Alex smiles. They all pose for the photo and some kids hug Alex and he hugged them back. "Say toys." The woman asked. "Toys." Everyone said smiling. "That's a good one, Alex can I ask you some questions?" The woman asked. "Yeah sure." Alex said walking up to the lady. "So Alex why are you doing this?" The woman asked."I'm doing this because these kids need joy and happiness and I'm trying to be someone they can ask for help like Rose and Zane did for me when I was little." Alex said smiling. "Aww that's so sweet Alex, so how do you know Jade?" The lady asked.

"She was best friends with my parents." Alex said. "I need to get back to the kid thanks for the interview." Alex said. "Your welcome and thank you for giving me your time." The lady said. Alex walked back to the kids and they were still eating cookies."Alex these cookies are so yummy." A little girl said, taking a bite of the cookie and she looked at me. I smile at her. "I'm glad you kids like them." He pauses. "You guys want to pick your guys toys now?" Alex asked. "Yes of course." A boy said. "Let's clean you guys up then." Jade said. All the kids clean up. "Littlest to oldest please." I said walking over to the pyramid of toys."I go first." A little boy said he was about three years old. All the kids line up in a line.

"Can I have that one please." The three year old asked and pointed to a puppy that was all white. Alex grabs the stuffed animal and gives it to him. "Thank you Alex." The boy said, taking the stuffed animal and hugged Alex. "You welcome Tate." Alex hugs him back and smiles. Mia stands there as Alex gives the kids the toys they wanted and Mia smiles. Alex glances at Mia and smiles then he looks at the kids again. Mia smiled back at him and when he let all the kids pick a toy and he smiled. Alex looks at everyone. "Now I have a surprise for my friend Jade, Jade can you come up here I need to give you something." Alex smiled. Jade walks to Alex and stands beside him.

Alex walks away and grabs a big board. Alex let's Jade see what it was. Jade puts her hands on her mouth and cries, she shakes her head. "Jade I'm giving you twenty-thousand dollars to fix up the orphanage." Alex smiles. Jade stands there and falls to her knees and cries. The kids clap and get up and hug Alex and Jade. "Miss. Rudd-Worth it's okay don't cry." Tate said in a cute voice. "I know I'm fine just crying of joy." Jade said, hugging the kids and she stands up and hugs Alex. Mia smiled at Alex and what he just did. "Alex Can we get another photo of you and Jade with all the kids?" The reporter asked. "Yes of course." Alex smiles. They all pose for the photo and the reporter takes the photo. "Thanks Alex."

"Your welcome." Alex smiles. "I also have another surprise and this surprise, Lily can you come up here" Alex said. Lily smiles. "Yeah." She said and stood next to Alex. "Lily already knows what I'm about to say but I want everyone to know that, Lily is not going to be my assistant anymore." He paused. Everyone gasps even Mia. "Why? She is doing a nice job." A little kid said. "Did you fire her?" Jade asked. "No no no." Alex shakes his head. "I'm not firing her." He smiled. "I'm promoting her to my business partner, she is a very kind, amazing, loving, caring worker, I am very surprised because she never missed a day of work, she never wanted to take a vacation holiday she always worried about mine and everyone's feelings and she was the one who helped me with this little gathering with the kids and I'm proud of Lily." Alex said, smiling and everyone and then looked at Lily.

Lily smiles. Mia claps and then everyone starts to clap, everyone cheers. "Hold on I have one more thing." Alex said then leaves. Lily stands there a little confused and so does everyone else and so does Mia. Alex came back holding a box. It was as big as a shoe box and it was all white. "Here, open it." He hands it to her. Lily takes the box. "Alex what is this?" Lily looked at him. "Just open it." He smiled and laughed a little. She opens the box. "Alex Neil Morningstar you shouldn't have." She said in a serious voice. "Oh crap she used his full name, he's in trouble." Ruby said. Zane laughs a little. "It's for you and your family to finally go on that Hawaii trip that your family didn't get to go when your mom was sick so I got the tickets for you." Alex smiled.

Lily drops the box and hugs Alex and cries. Mia smiles and cries a little because Alex is a sweet and nice guy like his mom. Alex hugs her back. Mia grabs a chocolate chip cookie and eats it. Mia sees Alex and everyone is still laughing and smiling and Mia finishes her cookies and Mia sees Alex walking up to her. "Hey beautiful." He smirks. Mia blushed a little. "Hey." "The kids want to meet you Mia." Alex said, taking her hand and pulling her to the kids. Mia followed him "Okay." Mia smiles and sees the kids smiling. "Alex is this Mia?" Tate asked. "Yes this it," Alex smiles at Tate. "Hi Mia, I'm Tate," he smiles. "Hi, it's nice to meet you" Mia smiled and looked at all the little kids.

After Mia meets the kids and they talk to more people, everything starts to calm down and everyone starts to leave. Mia looks at Alex "That was really nice what you did for Lily, Jade, and those kids" Mia smiled. "I know and thanks, I did it because I might not stay here in the human world" He paused for a second "If I pick one of my parents I want people I trust to run my human life I leave behind" Alex said picking up the decorations. Mia helps him pick up. "Who are you going to choose?" Mia asked and realized she just asked that question and forgot Alex didn't like people asking that. "I don't know" Alex sighs and keeps cleaning. "Alex I am sorry I asked that" Mia sighs and keeps cleaning. "It's okay Mia." Alex said and tied the garbage bag.

After a while they get done cleaning and they finish picking up. "Alex are you okay?" Mia asked, looking at Alex a little worried. "Yes Mia I am fine, why wouldn't I be?" Alex looked a little puzzled at her. "You just look a little upset that's all." Mia looks at him. "I am fine don't worry about me Mia" Alex smiles and takes the trash out and he goes out back and puts it in the trash. "Son?" A voice said behind Alex, it was a deep voice. Alex turns around and sees his father in human form. "Mom, dad what are you guys doing here?" Alex sighs and looks at them. "You only have two days left until your birthday and you need to make a decision by the thirty first." Ella says looking at him. "I can't choose, it's a hard choice to make" Alex said.

"I know son but you have three options you can have a human life, a life like your fathers or a life like mine and you need to pick" Ella said looking at him. "We let you have enough time to have your choice" Lucifer said, shaking his head. "I know, I know but I will have my choice made up tonight and then when we do the ceremony I will tell you" Alex sighs. "Okay good" Lucifer smirks. "We're sorry we are pushing this on you" Ella smiles. "We will see tomorrow night and don't be late and I want you to be down in hell with me!" Lucifer said in a demanding tone. "I won't be late I promise and don't worry and please don't demand me in that tone of voice father" Alex demands and his eyes go red. Ella looks at Alex and then at Lucifer.

"Don't talk to me like that I am your father!" Lucifer's eyes turned a red color like Alex's. "I don't care. It's my choice what I pick, not yours and you don't need to demand me!" Alex said getting mad and he started to turn into a demon. "Alex honey calm down" Ella said walking up to Alex and she put her hands on his shoulders. Alex looks at his mother Ella and turns back into a human and sighs then he walks away not saying anything to either of them. He walks back inside and sees Mia on the phone and she hangs up and looks at Alex. "You ready?" Alex sighs and he walks to the front door. "Yeah" Mia smiles. Alex grabs the keys out of his pocket and opens the door for Mia. Mia walks outside and walks to Alex's motorcycle.

Alex closes the door and locks it and walks with Mia. He hands her a helmet and they get on and he starts his motorcycle and they head home. Mia puts her arms around Alex and felt he was upset about something. But she didn't want to say anything so she stayed quiet for the whole time. They get home and he parks the motorcycle but he doesn't turn it off but Mia does and she takes off the helmet. "Alex what's wrong, I know something is wrong with you what is it?" Mia looks at him. "Nothing, I am fine, I just have to go run some errands" Alex says and looks at Mia. "You know I am here for if you need to talk or something" Mia smiled. "I know Mia, but I need to go." Alex says and drives away.
