Hey everyone sorry it took longer to post this chapter. It's shorter than I originally wanted it to be but I have been very sick this past week. I've had to call into work twice and missed class one of those days and left early on another. I am still a bit sick now so the next chapter might take some time to come out. It's been pretty difficult to stare at a screen and focus for long periods of time. So I hope this short chapter can help the eager waiting for a little bit. I promise that once I am feeling better that this story is going to knock your socks off.
Now I hope you enjoy :) I am going to head back to sleeping on the floor drinking some hot tea. Don't forget to let me know what you think of the story!
Third Person Pov:
"Are you sure this is what you want to do?" Jonathan said with a bit of pleasure in his voice. "Yes I am sure." the other men spoke with a slight shake in his voice. The air grew thick and the room around fell completely silent until the door started to slide open.
"Well looks like we have ourselves a deal." The door completely open now both men could see Chris standing there with an evil grin in his face.
Alex's Pov:
The night drug on for hours. My body and mind could not relax enough to get to sleep. All that kept running through my head was the fact that my parents were now in the hands of those filthy monsters. My tears started to flow down my face; no longer able to hold back the emotions from today's events. I did everything I could to hold back the whimpers that were coming from my voice. My heart felt like it was being torn to shreds in front of me and there wasn't a thing I could do to stop it. The regret filled my thoughts. The guilt was clouding all my judgement. I opened my eyes and pulled myself out of my bed. I couldn't just sit here and do nothing while my family was being held captive. My thoughts ran wild as I made a quick dash to the bedroom door that led to Levi's room. 'All I need to do is get through his room and I can go save my family. No one else needs to get hurt in the process.' I quietly opened the door and peered around to see if anyone was awake. The silence from his room was proof enough. I put one foot in front of the other slowly making my way through his room. Before I knew it I was across the room, ready to go. My hand was now on the door knob, it was now or never.
"Going somewhere?" My hand froze in place completely scared at what I was about to meet face to face with. I turned my body to see where the voice came from. Standing right in front of me was Levi. There was no sound in the room and I had no idea how he ended up behind me. I had to think fast if I was going to get away. "I just needed some air. I felt a bit sick." This was sure to get me out of the house, I always use this line. He should believe me. "You're lying." was all that came from his mouth. My body froze and there was nothing I could do now. His hand grasped a hold of my hand just barely enough for me to feel him there. "Listen to me. I understand that you want to go save your family but you will just be walking right into a trap. Let alone you have no idea where they are holding them to begin with. Your 'attempted' mission you so proudly want to go on by yourself is completely hopeless. You will die. Your family will die. Now pull your damn fucking head out of your ass and let my squad help." His light grip on my hand slightly got stronger but quickly released as soon as it happen. He must be just as mad about this situation as me. "I'm scared Levi." My eyes finally meeting his for the first time that night. "I don't want to be alone again. If they die, I'll be alone." I tried to hold my composure but my mind didn't seem to want to. My voice was just below a whisper now. I just didn't want to be alone ever again. My eyes now pleading with his eyes. "Please Levi.." My voice barely able to speak. "Let me stay with you tonight.."
He didn't say a word to me. Just stared like he wasn't sure what to say back. He slowly turned away from me and started walking back to bed. Completely nervous I didn't move in inch. 'Was he wanting me to follow him or was this just his way of telling me no?' I thought to myself. Just as I was about to put my hand back on the handle to get out of the situation I put myself in, Levi turned to face me. "Are you coming? Or are you going to stand there looking like a dumbass?"
I released the handle and started walking slowly to the bed. I've never shared a bed with a man before, let alone someone who was practically a stranger. Laying down in the bed, I adjusted the pillow and covered myself with the blanket. Levi laid down next to me just after I was comfortable. He didn't face me and I made sure not to face him. This was more uncomfortable than I thought it would be. I said a quick "Thank you." and fell asleep.
My heart was racing. I was running out of breath. All I can think about is getting to them as quickly as I could. I can hear him. He has to be right around the corner.
"Sister! Help me!"
His voice it's getting louder. He has to be here. I turned the corner corner and that's when I saw him. "CHRISTOPHER!" My heart completely stopped when I looked at him. Tears running down his eyes and a gun to his head. I dropped to my knees with tears in my eyes. "Please... Please don't hurt him.. I'll do whatever you want just please don't hurt my baby brother." The men with the gun looked up at me with this horrible evil grin and that's when I heard the gun go off. All I could do was watch as my baby brother's body hit the ground.
"No! Anything but him."
"Alex wake up, you are having a nightmare. Wake up." My eyes fluttered open and started to adjust to the darkness. That's when I notice that I was still laying in Levi's bed with Levi leaning over me trying to wake me up. My eyes met with his and I didn't know what to do. My heart started racing again. He started to lean in closer to me. 'Was he about to kiss me?' I closed my eyes waiting to see if that was what he was about to do but it never happened. After a minute I opened my eyes back up and noticed him just staring at me. "Screw it." I mumbled to myself and grab his shirt bringing him down closer to me. Our lips met and I felt his body tense up. I quickly let go and pulled back from him. "I'm so sorry. I was out of line." He looked at me emotionless and started to laying back down on his bed. "We should go back to bed. It's still dark and you need your rest." I didn't say a word back to him and turned back over to go to sleep. 'I guess I shouldn't have done that.' I quickly closed my eyes trying to forget about everything I just did. All I wanted to do was fall asleep but it doesn't look like that would happen anytime soon. My thoughts just kept wondering over to the body next to me whose breathing finally seemed to fall back asleep.
There you go everyone! Just a little bit of some Levi and Alex shipping going on. 3
