In A Heartbeat
Chapter 2
Alex's POV
As I went to bed there was a knock at my door. "Mom? Dad?" I said groggily. I turn on my small dim light on my nightstand.
"Alex shh Its me." Justin replied in a hushed tone. I rolled my eyes. "You already gave me flying lessons last time I was in here what do you want now?" I said and groaned lightly. I hear a creak. It was from my mom and dad's room! There going to check on me. "Justin its Dad coming! Get out of here!" I yell a little to loudly.
"Justin's in your room?!" Dad yells. "What's going on in there?!" he yells louder and comes faster down the hall. I groan, My dad didn't actually think I WOULD do something with…my BROTHER??!! Ew. Justin was under my bed. My dad walked in. I smiled my fake innocent smile. "Hello Daddykins. Why are you up so late?" I smiled fakely again. He glared.
"Alex Roxanne Russo did I hear you say Justin was in here?" He said and looked at me sternly. "Psh Psh Naw." I look at him. He aint buying it. "Psh Justin in here?? NAW." My dad just raised his eyebrows. "Psh..I mean psh com'on know." I said and laughed nervously. "Ahh what the hay Im tired I'll believe you." I was shocked. "You will?" I said like I wasn't meaning it. "I uhh mean..YOU WILL!!" I said and smiled again. He cocked his head at me confused. I sighed in relief as he left. "Justin get out from under my bed know." I said and looked under my bed seeing Justin asleep. I groaned.
"Not Again!" I said and hit my head as I come out from under my bed. I see Justin. I lightly scream. He covers my mouth and smiles. "Remember that charm we learned yesterday? Marietta Animata Grande? I groan. "Justttiinn…What do you want??" I say again. "I wanted to tell you something" I flick him. "Oww What the heck was that for?" He said and wimpily rubbed his eye. "For being an idiot!" I yell. I get in bed and turn off my light. He turns it back on. "Let me tell you." "hmm let me think… NO." I say and turn off my light again. He turns it on. I pull my covers over my head. "I said. N.O" I say put my pillow over my head.
"Alex. This is important.." Justin says lightly. I sigh and get up. "Yes brother who I dearly love and hate at the moment?" he hugs me. My face was like huh? "Why are you hugging me for no reason?!" I laugh. "Because…listen….Im going to a party tonight with some friends…and….well….I need you to cover for me…." I was stunned. Justin party in the same sentence Nuh Uh. "Wait…what kind of a party?" I said trying not to sound more concerned then I actually was. He smiled lightly. "No kind of party a little Sophomore should know about…" he said. I'm sure I looked worried cause his expression changed quickly. "Alex listen…you were always the one telling me I needed to have more fun in life." He said and threw his arms in the air. I bite my lip. This wasn't exactly how I pictured it… I thought to myself. "B-But…please…don't go." I said. I didn't know where these words were coming from but they just started to pour out. "Im going to go Alex and that's final." He said with a tone of bitterness in his voice. Then I said something…I knew I shouldn't of. Something I knew one day I would regret. "Fine leave. I don't care what you do with yourself anymore. Get drunk and get high. I don't care anymore. Its not my life im ruining. And I don't care about you anymore Justin." I said and turned away from him. He didn't say anything to me. He just began to walk out the door. I could feel the tears in my eyes. They started falling one by one by one. I ran to the door before it could slam. But it was to late…He was gone…and it was all my fault.
a/n: I'm not gonna leave you hangin!! (: consider this next part a gift from boring life :-p
I thrusted open the door. I didn't care if my parents heard me. I ran outside and saw Justin walking over to a car. "Justin!" I yell. He seemed to of heard me. Then I saw it. The lights coming faster then I saw them. I hear a crash and before I knew what was happening Justin was on the ground motionless. And the only thing I could possibly say was… "I'm….sorry."
