Chapter 8

I was stunned by Alexander's lack of interest with things, but he seemed different to the weird people you usually hear about, and I thought that I would go to the old fire station after school to talk to his brother, Henry I think, and luckily I know Alexander won't be their because he always goes to the skate park after school, don't know why but he does.

The day went slowly, but I was happy it did, I was nervous about meeting Henry, apparently he has a criminal record, don't know what he's done but another reason they moved was so he could kind of start over. It made me think how they are still, well, sane I guess after the horrible past they have both had, I guess they are both really close and supportive.

I walked to the front door of the old fire station that was now owned by a ridiculously good-looking Alexander and his older brother Henry. I knocked a few times and a very tall and slim man opened it, he looked really cute to, but not like Alexander.

"Hello, I am Scarlet, a… friend of Alexander's; I was wondering if I could speak to you about him"

"You're the girl Alexander won't shut up about, good to finally meet you, you're not what I expected you to look like, but okay"

"Okay, I am guessing you are Henry then?"

"Yeah, so Scarlet, what would you like to know about Alex?"

"Why does he get so angry when people call him Alex?"

"Ha-ha, you fell in to his trap, ha-ha!"

"Excuse me?"

"He does prefer Alexander but every time someone calls him Alex he has this massive anger fit and even if you're the best of friends with him he will still get well angry"

"Okay… why did your family move so much?"

"What a surprise, everybody asks that, I would of thought that you were smart enough to work that out yourself after what Alexander has been telling me, well anyway, cause our parents were singers right, they had, let's say stalkers that wanted them to perform again, so we all moved again and again and again till we were left alone, but since they died people seem to not like me or Alex that much, God knows why but, well yeah"
