Hidden Secrets
Chapter Seven
Nate slumped on the couch and picked up a pillow. He debated whether he should throw it across the room and break a lamp or just try to stay calm. Either way he was still upset, mostly about Alex. The fact that Steph had tried to call him and go out with him again made him even angrier.
"Don't you dare throw that pillow." Shane warned. He was writing a song.
"You're the lucky one! You've got no relationship problems!" Nate yelled, throwing the pillow anyway. It hit Shane's hand and the pencil went flying into Jason's drink.
"Eww!" Jason said, quickly running to the kitchen to grab another soda.
Nate grabbed another pillow and covered his face in it, screaming silently. Everything wasn't going the way it should've been going. He came back to New York to spend time with Alex, and then Steph had to come. He knew it was pretty much his fault for not telling Alex about Steph.
The thought of Alex and Steph made him grimace. He didn't even care that Alex hadn't told him she was wizard anymore.
"Dude, are you okay?" Shane asked, putting down his songbook. "You look sad and mad."
Nate pointedly ignored him, punching the pillow three times. Jason came back with another cup of soda, smiling widely. Shane looked at Jason, nodding his head the other way so he would take the notice to get out of the room.
"I've got it!" Shane said, clapping his hands together.
"Got what?" Nate asked.
"Why don't you apologize to Alex?" Shane said.
Nate looked at Shane. "Wow, if only I'd thought of that." he said sarcastically.
"Sorry." Shane said, standing up. "Just trying to help." He went upstairs to call Mitchie.
Nate sighed and turned on the TV. Spongebob was on, Jason was probably watching again. Jason ran in the room, hearing the Spongebob theme song.
"All right! Spongebob is on!" Jason yelled, kicking over his original can of soda. It spilled all over the table and dripped onto Nate's feet. "Oops. Sorry." Jason said, getting a towel to polish Nate's shoes. "Here, let me polish your shoes!"
Nate stepped back quickly. "No way, man! I'm out of here." He threw open the door and walked out, not bothering to close the door.
"Are you sure you don't want to go?" Mitchie asked again. She was asking Alex if she wanted to go see the zombie movie with her and Harper.
"Yes, I'm sure." Alex said. Her eyes were red from staying up all night pacing, and her hair was a mess. "Go. Have fun."
The phone rang and Mitchie held her finger up to indicate the 'give me a second' sign. "Hello? Oh hi Shane!" She went away gabbering on the phone.
"Lucky." Alex muttered. Mitchie and Shane didn't have any secrets between them. They were a happy fun couple who were always calling each other and talking. She wished she and Nate could've been that way. Then both of them had to have a secret and look where that ended up.
Max came downstairs into the lair, holding his wand. "Watch this, Alex!" Justin came in after him, also holding his wand.
Max said a spell and lifted Justin up, spinning him uncontrollably. Justin made a bunch of chicken noises while spinning and flapped his 'wings.'
Alex sighed. She knew her brothers were trying to make her feel better and cheer up but nothing was going to work. "Thanks for trying guys, but that isn't working."
Max shrugged and put his wand down, accidentally dropping Justin.
"OW!" Justin yelled.
Alex laughed. "Now that was funny."
"I thought that would work." Max said, coming over to give her a hug. Alex accepted.
"I hate seeing you like this." Justin said. "Even though you laughed at me when I fell down. You're not even your usual sarcastic mood."
Alex's face was blank as she stared into space.
Max and Justin looked at each other. Something had to make Alex happy. They just had to find out.
"We have to get them together again." Justin said.
"Way to state the obvious." Max replied sarcastically.
"Guys stop fighting!" Shane said. "We're here to try to get Alex and Nate back together."
"Yeah." Mitchie agreed. "They've been miserable without each other."
"And Steph," Justin said, "Is getting in the way."
"Ignore her." Max said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Why don't you ignore her?!" Justin shot back.
"Stop!" Mitchie said, separating the brothers. "Do you want Alex to be like this forever?"
"No, but she'll eventually move on." Justin replied.
Shane shot Justin a look. "The goal of this is to get Alex and Nate back together! Not Alex with some random guy."
"Oh, right."
"Now how are we going to get them to not be mad at each other?" Mitchie asked.
Max suddenly jumped up and down. "I have an idea!!"
"Why would I want to follow what you tell me to do again?" Nate wanted to know. "The last time I listened to you it ended up being a disaster!"
"Just trust me on this." Shane said. "Now go!" He'd told Nate to go over to Alex's house and tell her exactly what happened and why he wouldn't tell her about Steph.
"If this turns out to be a failure, I'm killing you!" Nate said through gritted teeth. He ran next door and ran the doorbell.
Max opened the door and said in a 'wise guy' voice, "Ah, Nate. We've been expecting you..."
Max is funny, isn't he? Lol. Review! Oh, and also, I've been too busy writing and not reading, so if you have any stories that you wrote or think thats really good, you can PM me or review to tell me! :)
