Bad Day
Chapter Two
Just as Clover walked through the door she heard Alex's door slam. I really hope she didn't lock her door. She started up the stairs but paused as she heard a clear click. Damn she thought. I just might have to break the door down. Reaching Alex's door Clover politely knocked.
"Hey Alex…? Can I come in?" There was a long pause.
"You didn't say please."
"Sorry, Alex, may I PLEASE come in?"
"No." Clover groaned and asked again.
"Alex, come on! Please let me in?"
"I'm thinking… no."
"Why won't you let me in? I just want to talk to you for like, a minute!"
"I said no."
"Ok, Alex, either you let me in or I let myself in." She tightened her shoelaces and made sure the bottom of her shoe wouldn't break when she kicked in the door. Hopefully it won't come off of its hinges. I like that door.
"Clover, I don't want to talk to you or anyone right now. Just leave me alone for a month or so and then I'll get back to you. Does that work for you?"
"No it does NOT work for me! Are you going to unlock this door: yes or no?"
"God I said NO. NONONONONONONONONO- AAHH!"
The door shattered and split into hundreds of splinters and went flying through the air. Clover walked in, observed the damage and looked at Alex, who was gawking at what was left of her door.
"My…my… my door- you…and… but…"
"Ok, now can we talk Alex...Alex?" Alex was walking around and staring at the fragments on the ground. It took her a full minute to find the words she had been looking for.
"You ruined my door!!!" She was still in shock but now she looked hurt.
"I'm sorry, Alex. Look, I'll get you a new one and I'll help you clean up, ok?" Alex slowly nodded her head. "But first we're going to talk."
"No, no we're not." She started walking out of the door but was stopped as Clover grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
"Clover, please, just let me go." She hardly tried to pull her arm away and she was practically pleading.
"Alex, just… just talk to me. Please?" Clover wanted to let go of Alex, she really did, but she also knew that Alex would keep locking herself in different rooms until all of the doors in the house had been kicked in.
Alex muttered something and gave up her small struggle to get away from Clover.
"What did you say?" Clover pulled Alex slightly closer to her and leaned in so she could hear a little better.
"I said… I said that I don't want to hurt you." She hung her head low in what appeared to be shame. "If we talk you're going to keep asking me to explain until I eventually let something slip and you'll get mad at me and I'll have ruined our friendship forever."
"Look, as long as you didn't borrow my favorite pair of shoes and rip them then I promise you I won't get mad." She let go of Alex, feeling certain that Alex wouldn't try to leave. She was right; Alex didn't immediately bolt to where the door should have been. "Alright, let's go into my room and we'll clean this up later."
"Ok, let's go." Alex led the way, feeling unsure as to whether or not being in Clover's room would help her to keep her thoughts to herself or not.
Warning: The next chapter is going to be cheesey... very VERY cheesey. (Well, at least I think so.) I'd also like to appologize for the shortness of the chapters.
