I would normally say why this took me so long but really...I don't even know. Sorry and I hope this makes up for the lost time.
The rest of the week went by painfully slow and neither Alex nor Dana showed up. Rebecca kept telling me that it was under control and that it was probably some family emergency, that didn't calm my nerves. Now it was Saturday night and it was raining out like it was the game Heavy Rain while I laid on my bed with a pillow stuffed in my face. Suddenly my phone rang.
"JESUS!" I screamed while wrapping my arms around my pillow for protection. Slowly leaning over I looked at the contact name.
Alex
Scrambling to grab my phone I managed to answer on the last ring.
"Alex? Is that you? How are you? Are you ok? Did a car hit you? Oh my god are you in the hospital?! Alex please tell me you're not in the hospi-"
"Des I'm fine. Now open the window, it's fucking freezing out." His voice was very faint against the sound of rain but still I went over and opened the window. Rain blew in and the next thing I knew Alex's head came, not from below the window, but from above. I let out a very unmanly yelp when he managed to get his whole body in and him nearly bumping into me. Alex turned around and closed the window then looked back at me with a faint smile.
"Did yah miss me?" He asked. Pouting I crossed my arms and stared at him. He was wearing a normal pair of jeans, converse, black t-shirt, and his leather jacket...except it was all soaking wet and sticking to him.
"Yes I missed you! I was freaking out thinking you might of gotten hurt or killed! And damnit Alex your fucking soaked to the bone and getting my floor wet." I said pulling his hood down. His dark brown hair was flat on his head due to the rain and it looked black instead of brown. Alex frowned slightly.
"Yeah...probably not the best idea to run all the way here in the rain..." He muttered while I smiled up at him. Grabbing his arm I tugged him out of my bedroom and across the hall into the bathroom.
"Wait here I'm going to get you some spare clothes to change into ok?' I asked while heading back into the hallway. He nodded then began removing his jacket. Going back into my room I searched through my closet until I found a pair of black and white plaid pajama pants that were too big for me. I continued searching until I found the shirt that he let me borrow from him. I went back to the bathroom and opening the door slightly I passed Alex the clothes then waited for him to come out. A minute later he opened the door and he was holding the pile of wet clothes.
"Where uhm...where do I put these?" He asked awkwardly. I laughed and grabbed the clothes then put them over the showers railing so they could dry a little. After that was done we went back in my room and cuddled on my bed. Alex was lying on his back with his hands behind his head while I laid on his chest with my hands crossed so I could rest my head comfortably.
"You know Alex...you never did answer my questions..." I said looking at him with a pout. Opening his eyes at me he sighed.
"Yes I'm fine Desmond. I didn't get in an accident at all...Dana was... well she got in a fight with our parents."
"What happened?" I asked worried.
"Our dad was kind of drunk and he got real mad at her and hit her. She called me for help. I ended up getting in a fight with him too." Alex replied looking out the window.
"Your mom didn't do anything?" I asked.
"No. She's afraid he'll hurt her too. The only reason she's still with him is because he can support our family. Our mom doesn't have a job." Alex sighed and refused to look at me. I hugged him the best I could in our position and placed my head on his chest so I could listen to his heartbeat.
"You and Dana are welcomed to stay if you need too...I'm sure my aunt wouldn't mind with the circumstances." I said hoping he would remember that the next time. Alex looked back at me smiling and so I smiled back and leaned forward so I could kiss him. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me back. Hugging me tightly we then moved so we were on our sides and could cuddle. Next thing I knew Alex was sleeping. Curling up closer to him I soon fell into a peaceful sleep knowing that Alex and Dana were ok.
So yeah... short and very late. I might not continue this story but there's always a chance that I will...but yeah. Hope you enjoyed!
