Chapter 8: "Turmoil and Flashes"
I'm BACK! sorry I haven't written in awhile. I finally finshed both contests (Selena&CreativeWriting) and hopefully i win one of them. At first I wanted this story to be about the play auditions...but i just started writing this. Hopefully you like it. the next one will be about the play auditions, titled: "Where Fore Art Thou Romeo?""I still don't get how you got in this fight or how you got injured." Jerry Russo said, while driving both of his kids back home.
"Didn't the school tell you?" Justin asked, while sitting in the front seat, Alex in the back.
"Your Mom answered the phone. She just told me to go and get you guys. So, what happened?" he explained.
"Well, I think that's something you need to talk to Mom about." Justin replied.
The rest of the ride was awkward and quiet. But it wasn't quiet when they arrived back home. As soon as Teresa saw two of her
three children, she ran up and gave them a big hug.
"Are you guys ok? I heard what happened. Alex, are you alright? Justin that was very brave of you." she just kept babbling on and
on about what happened. Eventually, Jerry caught on to what happened and wanted to go beat Brad up.
Justin replied by saying, "It's ok, he got suspended and I beat the snout out of him. I think he got his punishment."
"Well, I think I'll head upstairs." Alex said, as she climbed the black metal staircase.
"Alex, are you sure you're fine? Want me to keep you company?" Justin asked Alex, obviously worried about her.
"That's sweet, but I kinda want to be left alone." Alex said.
She reached her room and the minute she closed her door, she leapt on her bed, grabbed a pillow and screamed into it; letting out
all the frustration she felt that day. "I can't believe I ever liked that guy," she said to herself. Tears were starting to fall down her
face again, and she didn't even know why. She was no longer sad; just mad. She just kept on crying and crying. She didn't even
really want to be sad, it just happened.
Then she heard the door crack open and saw Dragon standing by it.
"Go away, Dragon. I'm not in the mood to play with you." Alex said, still crying.
But Dragon didn't leave. Instead, he walked further in her room, walked towards her, and hoped on her lap.
Instead of shooing him away, she just hugged his furry little body.
Dragon licked her cheek, to know that he loved her no matter what.
"Dragon, you're so sweet" Alex said, while petting and scratching him.
Dragon let out a big woof.
Alex was fed up of all the tears. "Dragon, you wanna go for a walk or play fetch?"
Dragon woofed like crazy and wagged his tail, also flying around the room.
She spent the rest of the night hanging out with Dragon.
Her night seemed a lot better, that is until she went to sleep. She couldn't sleep. She was having all these nightmares regarding
Brad. She woke up in a sweat. She figured the best thing to do was get a nice glass of water. She walked downstairs, got a glass
of water, and was surprised to see a shadow lurking around the terrace. She was curious, so she walked outside.
She just saw Justin sitting on one of the lounge chairs, looking up at the stairs.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" she asked, while grabbing the next chair next to him.
"Nothing, just thinking," Justin replied, obviously not wanting to talk about this subject.
"About what?" Alex asked.
"It's nothing." Justin said, getting angry and getting off the lounge chair. He noticed Alex's face and saw she had gotten a little
worried and scared when he shouted at her.
He spoke in a gentler and quieter tone, "Listen, I'm sorry. I'm just so worried about this whole Brad and picture thing." He sat
down on the lounge chair, and reached over by a nearby table and handed them to Alex.
Alex remembers looking at them, but didn't look at them with much clarity until now. "Do they have anything on them?" she asked,
knowing that most photos or others usually have threats somewhere.
"Nope, it's blank," he said, flipping them from front and back. "But I'm more worried about you. Are you all right now?" he
asked.
"I'm fine now. But I just don't know if anything will happen again," she said, trying to stay strong and not start weeping yet again.
"Hey, come here," Justin said, bringing Alex closer to him, eventually wrapping himself around her. "Let's just not worry about
anything and just look at the stars."
"Yeah, I'd like that." Alex said. She laid down next to Justin on the lounge chair he was laying on and cuddled right next to her.
After awhile Justin spoke, "Alex, I love you"
"What?" Alex said, sitting up while still on the lounge chair.
"You heard me. I said I love you." Justin replied, hoping this would end well.
"Well, yeah, you're my brother…" Alex said.
Justin cut her off by saying, "You should know by now that I love you more than a sister." Then Justin did the strangest thing. He
actually made the first move this time, not Alex. He leaned in closer to Alex and kissed her. This kiss last on for awhile.
So long in fact that neither of them seemed to notice that flashes were coming from an upstairs window. Camera flashes to be
exact.
"Mom and Dad are going to flip out when they see this."
Who said that you ask? Why, it was non-other then Alex and Justin's little brother, Max.
Hopefully u liked it! REVIEW! oh & info on other stories. "Yet Another Cinderella Story" is still on (i just HATE that Selena's movie got pushed back. Rumor is until SEPTEMBER!) . Also I'm thinking of doing a story involving Brad&Alex (it WILL eventually be a Jalex though). It's going to be similar to Brad&Alex's relationship in PBM, except Alex&Brad are going to date. Alex & Brad will date but let's just say it's not the healthiest relationship possible (coughcoughabusecoughcough). let me know if u'd like to read something like that. For all u Romeo&Juliet lovers...do u guys have any quotes from the play at all? Let me know. Spring Break is almost here for me! Until March 31st..then it's NO SCHOOL! (expect vids&fanfics). OH! & pleaseee enter my trailer contest I'm currently having. But it can NOT be a trailer for a fanfiction, movie or series! cause i eventually will chose so many trailers I like & will write a story using that trailer.
