B=Bedtime-
Disclaimer: I doubt I own Alex Rider, let me just go ask my apple...
Nope, my apple said I don't own anything, and that I am insane. I ignored it.
One of the memories Alex Rider had never been able to block out when his Uncle Ian had died; was the rare, warm moments when Ian was home and he tucked Alex into bed.
Ian would give Alex a glass of warm milk, sometimes, if Alex had been good enough he would be allowed a chocolate cookie or two. Ian would read a book for twenty minutes or until they had finished a chapter, then he would place the book back down on the bedside table for the next day's reading. He would lean over, touch the top of Alex's head briefly, pause, and then whisper a goodnight before turning around and walking out the door. But he would always stop and look back with a fond smile before Alex's bedroom door closed and darkness descended.
It was those moments that made Alex think twice about his theory that Ian hadn't loved him or cared about him. It was the night's that Ian was home to tuck him into bed that Alex could always be seen smiling happily. Not a care in the world.
AN: short, simple, I lot different to what I originally planned. I got an anonymous review from – x, they suggested I use the word control for C. It was a great suggestion, and I am very pleased that you took the time to make one, but I have already written C, surprisingly it was easier to write then B and I got impatient. I don't want to make you think you wasted your time though, I did consider rewriting it but I liked Crying to much to change. Maybe I can think of a synonym for control and use the same idea for another letter. If I do, I will dedicate the chapter to you. Thank you for the suggestion x. Lies.
Next, C is for Crying.
