Pretend Relatives

Chapter 9

"It started after Ryan and I started dating." Alex gave her an odd look.

"He used to be really sweet, he was always kind of dark but not in a bad way. Any way we had been together for about 4 or 5 months and it was great till his brother joined some gang. I can't remember the name I think it was scorpion or scorpia I don't know something like that. That is when he started acting weird; he would disappear for a week than show up all bruised. His darker side started to become more of him, he would do little evil thinks like bump into people and knock them over, he would laugh when things went wrong for people, in class he would trip people. I got sick of it after a while and I dumped him. I told him that when he stopped acting up he should tell me and I might think about dating him, but instead of him going back to the way he was he started stalking me. Part of me coming here was so that I could have a vacation from him but he follows me everywhere I can't figure out how he finds me."

Worry and fear played all over Alex's face since Janelle had mentioned scorpia. He was debating whether or not to call MI6. If this girl had scorpia after her and she was staying at his house this could be a very bad thing. He stood up and started pacing the floor of the room, it could also just be a guy using his resources to find his ex and stalk her in which case he didn't need to worry at all. Suddenly two hands slid around his waist and someone pressed themselves against his back.

"I have caused you trouble, I'm sorry. I will leave my being here hasn't done any good for you." The hands disappeared and Alex heard the stairs creak. He waited there for a few seconds than went into the kitchen and poured two glasses of milk just as he was putting the milk away he heard a thump than a yell come from upstairs.

Dropping the milk jug onto the counter he ran upstairs into Janelle's room.

There was Janelle backed against the wall to the right of the door. Ryan was standing in front of the window to the left of the door. The wind blew through the window blowing his black trench coat around him. Alex stepped into the room planting himself between Janelle and Ryan. A smirk appeared on Ryan's face.

"So is this our new Knight in shining armor Jan? Did the old one rust away to fast?"

"Leave him out of this Ryan he has nothing to do with me." Janelle stepped forward she stood next to Alex.

"The fact that you like him makes him my business."
