Disclaimer: I don't own anything, but I wish I own Logan Lerman.
I've got a feeling that it's gonna be alright
I know whatever happens, you will be right by my side
-Alex's POV-
"Well tell him I don't feel well. That I'm sick, terribly sick." I told Justin for the 7th time this week. Turns out that Percy Jackson won't leave me alone.
"You know, eventually, you have to face him." I heard him replied.
I look at him and answered, "I know Justin." Even tough it's hard to admit it, but he's right. Eventually, I have to face Percy. I have to talk to him. I know he knows something. I'm just scared of asking. Scared of knowing something that I know will affect much and will change my whole life.
"If you need someone to talk to, or a shoulder to cry on, or even a punching bag." He said and rolled eyes then he smiled a little sad smile. "You know where to find me. Just in my bedroom. waiting for my little sister to come up and make fun of what fool I'm looking now trying to be a good big brother like in some cheesy series in abc." He continued and rolled his eyes once more.
"Yeah, I'll keep that in mind." I said and gave him a smile. Justin looked at me one more time with his concern face. He looks like he's going to say or do something but he just stood there in my doorway.
I raised my eyebrow, "What?" asking him what else he needs or will say.
"What have you done to my sister?" He said acting like he was shock and acknowledged the book on my lap.
I rolled my eyes and throw the first thing my hand touched at him, he book. "HA HA HA!" I said sarcastically.
He grabbed the book and look at it. "Meg Cabot?" He said as he read it and chuckled. "Jinx?" Then he burst into laughter.
"GET OUT!" I yelled trying not to smile and throw a pillow at him.
He dodge the pillow away and walks toward me wearing an evil smirk. I immediately grab another pillow ready to throw it again but I was taken by surprise when he hugged me and didn't let me go. Automatically, my body reacted, i tense up a bit, surprised that Justin will even touch me. But I make myself comfortable buried in his arms. It's been long since Justin hugged me. It's been long since I hug him. It feels good and right at the same time. That this is the usual and normal stuff 2 siblings do, or I just tought of it, still I miss this. I miss him. I never really thought of it, but right now the thing that I really need is a big brother that will care and protect me from a guy that might or will broke my heart sooner or later.
My eyes start to fill with tears, not because of the dreams and about Percy but because of the joy that I felt right now with my brother. I buried my face under his arms wishing he wouldn't notice that I became too emotional and did what a girl usually does in those cheesy drama series.
He didn't pull away when his clothes starts to be wet because of my tears instead he just pulled me closely and tightly and kissed my head. "You're crying." he murmured.
"I'm not." I denied.
I can feel his eyes rolling when I said it. but I'm really not sad or depress right now.
"I'm happy." I added smiling then pulled away. I sat at my bed not noticing that my tears is still falling down into my cheeks. He knelt down in front of me and look at me. He wiped the tears on my cheeks and said, "You look ugly when you cry." He grinned as I punch him. "Ouch that hurts." He said as he rubbed the part where I punched him.
"Weak." I whispered grinning. He gave me smile then sat next to me. He force a fake laugh beside me that makes me frown and look at him. He looks like he's aching or hurt or something.
This week has been surprising for me, I was right when I know that everything will be going to change as I step out the door 4 days ago. And right now, Justin's eyes is filling with tears. I look at him concerned, I never saw Justin cried before nevertheless comforts me but he's here and his tears starts to fall, because of me. I feel strange.
"You're crying." I whispered looking at him with full concern. "and you look weird." I added.
Gosh Justin you look ugly and awful when you cry. You should stop it right now.I added silently and smirked.
"I'm not." He said and wiped his tears and look away. "I'm just sweating trough my eyes." He continued.
I rolled my eyes. "You know my lines are not for you. It's doesn't good to hear from your mouth." I said trying to make him laugh.
His gaze falls back into me and he smiled a little, then he said, "I hate you, you know."
"You don't." I said and grinned. "And we both know that." I continued.
"Yeah, you're right." He said smiling. Admitting that he doesn't hate me.
"even tough you're an evil smart-ass. you're still my little sister." He said. I hate it when someone calls me little, because definitely I'm not a little girl now but still he said it, he called me what I'm looking forward to hear from him.
I look at him with my brown eyes as if I'm trying to have puppy eyes or whatever will work to make me look cute.
"What are you doing?" He frown and asked. Okay that's a failure. I don't look cute at all.
"You called me evil smart-ass." I answered and grinned ignoring his reaction.
"Ha! don't flatter yourself." He rolled eyes then continued, "Now talk." he said seriously.
I was surprised by the sudden change of mood. I think about lying again and shoo him out of my room but I know better, So I talked. I tell him about everything. Of my dreams. Of Percy. Of the strange feeling I'm having. After I finished,he looks at me with full of concern and told me to be careful. He said he would try to talk to Annabeth about it, but I said not to.
"We don't know what side is Annabeth on, or who she really is. We still doesn't know a lot about her Justin. She's still a stranger." I told him.
After a minute of thinking, he slightly nod. Trying hard to understand me. But that's not enough, I know Justin when it comes to a beautiful girl or even just a girl.
"Promise me Justin. Promised me you won't tell to anyone everything I told you. Even to Max, Most importantly not to Annabeth." I said and look at him waiting for him to react or say something. "Not to anyone Justin. Please? You're the only person I told about this. You're the only person I can trust right now." Once it let out of my mouth, I realize how right it is, that he's the only person I trust right now.
"You didn't tell about it to Harper?" He whispered.
"Justin I've been alone for 2 days feeling sorry for myself. Harper doesn't do a good job comforting me. Hell, I've been the one comforting her because she's the one who burst with tears.
I said and look at him sincerely. "Plus, She won't understand."
My heart starts to burst with relief when he agreed and promised me that he won't tell anyone. I smiled and give him a bear hug.
After that, we talked about the normal stuffs, about mom and dad, our school stuffs, our plans for tomorrow, we even talk about all the good times we had when we are little.
We never even noticed it's night-time when Max came up and told Justin that Annabeth is waiting for him downstairs for their dinner date.
"I'm sorry Alex." He said. I look at him confused.
"You don't have to say sorry. I'm the one who needs to apologize. It's so selfish for me not to think that you have plans for today." I said and look down.
What am I doing? What am I feeling? Why am I apologizing? I never apologize before and this feeling, what is it? Guilt? Oh My God! I'm feeling guilty? but i never apologize and feel guilty at the same time, not with my brother, not with Justin. Curse you Bad Dreams.
"No. Alex you don't have to apo -"
"You should go Justin. You should not make a pretty girl wait for the first date." I cut him off immediately. He's making this so hard.
He looks at me one more time then he nod. As he get out of my room, I was still shocked of what I have become. What have I done to myself?
I stand up grabbed my Pjs and went to the bathroom to have a shower. When I came back to my room, I am fully surprised of the guy sitting there with a bowl of popcorn and watching a movie.
"What are you doing?" I said and smiled noticing his spongebob Pjs.
"Spongebob? seriously Justin?" I raised an eyebrow and grinned as I sit beside him and stuffed my mouth with popcorn.
"What? You love Patrick Star."He said and gave me the bowl.
"So what movie? The Notebook? Titanic? A walk to remember? You're choice." He said and hand me the Cds.
"How about Inception?" I said and gave him the Cd.
"Good choice." He said and stand up to insert the Cd. "I figured you're still in love with Leonardo DiCaprio?" He continued then sat back next to me.
"Ahh, You love Leo DiCaprio." I said and smiled mischievously.
"Ha, don't even get there." He said then we watch the whole movie without any word.
After the movie ended, He gave me back the Cds and let me decide what we're going to watch next.
"How about, hmm... How about a marathon?" I said and look at him waiting for him to react.
"Depends of what series we're going to watch." He replied and look at the Cds. Then we both saw it, our hearts starts to yell and our inner fangirl starts to uphold.
"THE VAMPIRE DIARIES!" We both yelped then we put the Cd and wait for it to start.
"Oh My God. I can wait for Damon Salvatore. He's so heavenly. and and and Caro-"
"CAROLINE FORBES!" Justin cutt me off then screamed like a thirteen year old. I look at him and laughed. Then he also laughed at himself. Then as soon as the TVD sarts we're both laughing. "Put it on pause! Put it on pause!" I said between laughs.
"Oh My Fucking Damon. Is that the vampire diaries?" Max said as he stand in the doorway.
Justin and I stopped laughing and look at our brother weirdly, hearing him call Damon mine.
Max stared back to us then said, "Pretend this never happened. Please?"
Justin and I slightly nod.
After Max return to his bedroom embarrassed. I heard the doorbell and groaned.
"When will he stop?" I said and rolled my eyes.
"Relax, it's just the pizza I ordered." Justin said and stand up and went to get the pizza.
He returned to my bedroom with a big box of pizza and together we ate it while watching The Vampire Diaries. In the third episode I look at Justin and thank him for being here with me and being the biggest fangirl of the vampire diaries. He kissed me on my forehead and hug me tight.
"I love you Alex, don't forget that." He said.
Before I doze off to sleep I look at Justin's sleeping formation and kissed him on the cheek.
"I love you too." I said then smiled.
Then I felt my eyelids start to closed. I let it. Welcoming the nightmares that embrace me.
Because now, I'm not afraid.
"You shouldn't be here." Lawrence said and lead me to the door. "You shouldn't heard that." He added.
"But I did. and I heard the whole conversation Lawrence. You've been lying to me ever since." I felt the words slipped into my mouth as a single tear falls into my cheeks.
He stopped track and look at me like he's feeling sorry for me. "I'm sorry Louisa, but I can't do anything about it. I'm just following orders."
I gave him a slight nod trying to understand him. He returned a sad smile then lead me to my room.
"You must know that everything I'm doing is not for my own good, It's for the good of all people Louisa. Of the human race. It's for your family." I heard him said, but I'm too numb to look at him and tell him I understand. Because clearly I don't. I don't understand any of it.
As I heard the door close behind him I lay down on my bed and stared at the ceiling.
"Thump." I immediately turn my gaze at the window. I stand up and slowly walks toward it. I peek at the window and look for the one who's responsible for the noise. All of my problems had gone away as I saw him. My heart starts to rejoice as I saw his lips turn into a smile. My lover. he's here. He's here to rescue me.
"Landon!" I called at him, feeling the smile spreading on my face as my heart starts beating faster.
"You've came." I said grinning and look at him, longing him.
"I told you, I will come." He replied then climb up the ladder.
I woke up with the cold breeze that embraces me. I slowly open my eyes and reached for my blanket in the darkness but there's nothing there within the reach. I open the lamp and look at my brother hugging himself. I look at the clock, 2:34. My gaze falls into the open window. I stand up and slowly walks towards it like in my dream, thinking that a guy will be there, perhaps Percy but there's no one out there. Of course there will be no one out there, It's 2:34. Letting out a sigh, I turn my back.
"Thump." My eyes open widely and my heart skipped a beat as I heard the sound. I forced myself to look again at the window for the second time. My heart beats faster and faster every second as I come back to look out at the window. I can feel that there's something out there, watching me. and I know I will not like it. As I peek out the window I saw a man with a black cape staring back at me with a red glowing eyes. My knees start to tremble as I forced myself to close the curtains. I run back to my bed trying to catch my breath. Great, now, I can go back to sleep.
"Hey Alex, Percy's h-."
"Okay, I'll be downstairs. Tell him I'll be there in a minute." I said to Max. He look at me suspiciously then he head downstairs.
After the incident last night I knew I have to face Percy now. I have to talk to him and asked him what are the things that he knows. I have to know the answers to my questions and the truth about the strange things happening to me. I have to know. I need to know.
I gather myself and went downstairs, As soon as my gaze falls into the blue-eyed guy I've fantasized few days ago. It was then that I realized that he looks exactly alike the guy I dreamed last night.
"Landon." I felt the word slipped into my mouth as I continue to stare at Percy Jackson. It can't be
