The Blue Diamond

Chapter 35: Sibling Relations

By: LoveInk

"So you're dating now?" Leon clarified paying more attention to the TV than to Alex.

Alex shrugged a shoulder. She was lying on the couch, her head propped up against Leon's thigh, a bowl of Lucky Charms resting on her stomach. "We agreed not to see other people."

"So you're his girlfriend," he clarified.

"I don't know. Am I?"

He lifted a shoulder; he really wasn't sure what Vince was thinking when he told her he didn't want her seeing other people. "He called you his girlfriend," he told her nonchalantly.

"What?" Her eyes left the TV to stare up at him, her green eyes filled with hope as they scrutinized his face for any trace of a lie. "When was this?"

"When we got to the hospital," he explained. "He gave the nurses your name and she asked his relationship to you and he said that you were his girlfriend."

"Oh," she said on a sigh. "He just needed to say that to get information."

Leon shook his head. "No. I could've easily claimed you were my sister to get information. In fact, I was about to when he opened his big mouth."

"Huh," she replied pensively. Was that where they were now? Was she officially his girlfriend? She liked the sound of it a lot more than she was willing to admit. "This show is absolute crap, by the way," she declared to change the subject.

"It's a hell of a lot better than the reality crap you watch."

"He's a talking sponge who lives in a fruit under the sea. How the hell does that make any sense?"

"It makes more sense than watching a show where people just have sex and fight all the time. I can watch that at home whenever I want," he explained, nonchalantly grabbing a handful of cereal from her bowl and stuffing it into his mouth. "At least this is funny."

She threw a marshmallow up at him, giggling when it ended up in his hair. "I disagree. His voice is annoying."

"You're voice is annoying," he shot back.

Alex stuck her tongue out at him. "Is not."

"Is too."

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"Is not!"

With Vince's help, Michaela hobbled out into the living room, unnoticed by the two people bickering on the couch. If it had been anyone else, Michaela would've felt extremely jealous of the position the two were in. They looked so comfortable with each other, like they'd done it a million times, but there was something in the way they were arguing that reminded her of the way she argued with Vince.

When Leon saw Michaela, he got up, letting Alex's head fall onto the cushion. "Is too," he finished, sticking his tongue out at her before heading towards his girlfriend.

"Is not!" Alex exclaimed, trying to sit up too quickly. She let out a cry of pain before lying back down. "Ow! Ow, ow, it hurts!" Vince quickly walked over to the couch. He grabbed her hands, helping her sit up before taking the seat Leon had left empty. She scooted closer to him, laying her head in the crook of his neck as he wrapped an arm around her waist. "Cracked ribs hurt!"

"I feel ya, sister," Michaela grumbled from her seat at the table. She grabbed one of the many mini-boxes of cereal. "Where did all these come from?"

Leon leant over her to grab another box, kissing her cheek as he did so. "We raided the free breakfast while you guys were talking."

"Yeah, he practically shoved the whole basket of cereals into his pants. Is that why you wear them so baggy, Lee? So you can steal things?" Alex teased.

"No, he wears them so loose so they're easier for me to pull off," Michaela shot back, tugging on his jeans with a naughty grin on her face.

Vince's hand dragged over his face as he tried to erase what his sister just said from his mind. "I didn't hear that," he muttered under his breath, shaking his head. "You guys talk to Dom?"

"You know, we were going to right after the accident, but then I told Alex we better call you guys first," Michaela replied sarcastically.

Vince and Leon both looked at Alex for an honest answer. She rolled her eyes. "I didn't call him. I don't even have his number," she answered frankly.

"I'll call him once we're on the road," Vince muttered already dreading the call. He knew Dom would be fine with it, but Mia was another story. He could already hear her shrieking angrily for being out of the loop.

Michaela nodded in agreement. "Sounds like the safest time. Lex, let's get changed and then we can head out."

Alex looked down at the simple dance outfit her brother-in-law had given her to change into at the hospital. "I'm dressed. I don't have any other clothes."

"C'mon, you can borrow my clothes," Michaela offered. "Plus, I need someone's help getting over there and getting dressed."

Leon held out his hand. "I'll help you out." A pillow hit him square in the back of the head and he turned to find Alex giggling and Vince holding another pillow, ready to throw. Obviously Vince was not happy with his offer. "Or I could not."

Alex stood up, ruffling Vince's hair lovingly before heading over to Michaela. "I better help you so we all can leave in one piece."
