Chapter 5: It will only be three days
Alex rolled over away from the sun that was now pouring in his window. He opened his eyes to see the clock the green numbers blurred together at first but after blinking he realized it was 9:43 am. He shot up; they had to leave in fifteen minutes! He looked over Roxy had already gotten up he pulled on some pants and rushed out of the room. Hearing the water running he figured she was in the shower. He went quickly to the kitchen, Roxy and put water on for her tea. It was whistling he poured it in a 'to go mug' and added her French vanilla creamer that no one else liked and loads of sugar. He headed back upstairs she was just walking out of the bathroom braiding her still wet her. She wore a pair of jeans and a red flannel shirt with a white tank under it. "Thanks," she mumbled with a brush in her mouth. She walked in to the room dropped the brush in her bag and put the tie in her hair. She grabbed her tea and started to drink it. He grabbed her bag and took it too the car. Logan was taking them to the airport. He put her oversized bag in the trunk and Logan was starting the car, "Tell her we are leaving now!"
"Okay." Alex walked into his room grabbed a hoodie and the two ran outside. The ride was weird the air was heavy and silent. Thanks to Logan's driving they were early to the airport. When they arrived Alex and Logan both got out. Alex kissed Roxy good bye, they stood there for a minute, they were interrupted when Logan cleared is throat. Roxy took the bag and headed into air port. Silently Alex and Logan got back into the car. Finally Alex spoke, "So no training today?"
"Yeah." Logan answered quickly.
"Cool." Alex still hoped it wouldn't be as silent; he gave up and put on the radio. As the pair returned to mansion it was full of life on their last day of break. He walked in the kitchen, food was every where. He grabbed a waffle and sat down. In a way he was glade to see everyone; these days might go by fast.
"So like she will be back on Tuesday?" Kitty asked sitting down.
"Yeah in the night she will call when they are almost here." Alex explained.
That day moved quickly everyone had projects they tried to finish and they were playing batman none stop in the rec. room. Scott spent the day working on the baby book with Jean. She was so pleased with his gift. She was now three months in and bubbling with frustration, nervousness, and joy. Roxy said it was an explosion of emotions when Jean walked in a room. "Our baby will grow up in a crazy house." Jean said to Scott.
"Yeah, more family then he will know what to do with." Scott laughed.
Rubbing her baby bump, "I can't wait!" The couple read everything in the books and on the internet. Jean also created a wish list for the baby.
The following morning it was school and the teens woke up. The mansion was noisy but all with displeased groans. Kitty grabbed her new clothes and got ready. Rouge put on some random clothes and knew today she would not see Remy until her return from school. It was just another fact each of the students hated school for their own reasons. Alex walked downstairs and grabbed Lance's glass of orange juice and drank it then handed it back, "Thanks!" Alex just grinned.
Scott drove them to school it was full of complaints, 'I forgot this or that' and plenty of 'I feel sick'. Scott just laughed and kicked them all out of the van. The first five periods dragged until lunch where the mutants all sat together. Lance pointed silently to a jock caring an over flowing cup of soup. He used his powers and the football star spilled in all over his own jeans. The cafeteria laughed, and the boy just glared. Lance joined the laughing but Kitty smacked him. Alex laughed at Kitty hitting him. "You would be hit now too if Rox' was here!" Lance barked.
"Yeah probably but she ain't." Alex laughed.
"You don't miss her?" Kitty asked.
"Well yeah I do, but she will be back in a two days." Alex just shrugged.
Their day went on like any other boring with plenty of mutant jokes in every class. On their ride home Alex's phone went off, it was Roxy. "Hey ba—…What's wrong?...I'm what?!...Oh like you are perfect—…" The car was listen trying to figure out what was going on. "Good if you wanna act like this we are, come get your shit." Alex closed his phone. Everyone stared at him curiously; everyone dying to ask looked to each other. His face was blank as he gazed out the window he could feel everyone, including Storm watching him. Kitty finally did, "So what didshe say?"
Very short Alex summed it up, "She is staying in Hawaii."
