Another music filled chapter letting you know now
It's been a few weeks since the falling out and while me and Nina are looking for us. Trent and Michael has been avoiding each other even when we all ran into each other at Xavier's school. The last person anybody wanted to see was Michael especially Rogue after hearing about what happened after she left. Michael tried to apologized but as soon as she saw him she slapped him so hard there was a hand print on his left cheek. When he openned his eyes and glanced up from the floor to see Nina hugging Warren it was like a double whammy. He tossed one of his finger cameras on the floor before walking away to a private place in the house.
"Ok let's see what's going on here." He mumbled to himself moving the camera closer to them
"Are you sure you wanna come with me?" Warren asked
"Yeah. You're right I need time to think and a place where I can breathe." Nina said
"And you believe that's with me?" He asked
"I don't know...maybe." She replied rubbing her arm
"Like I said this doesn't have to be a romantic get away just a vacation among friends. The trip is in four days I already have the tickets and I'll pick you up. Alright?" He asked
"Alright. I guess." She said
"Everything will be better in London." He said holding her close
"I hope so." She mumbled holding him tightly
"London? If she goes with him than..." Mike started before sighing deeply, "I gotta make this right before she leaves but how?" He questioned
~ Meanwhile on the other side of the house~
"Come on Alex just talk to me. Say anything but just say something." Trent said watching me packing my clothes in a suitcase, "It's been almost a month since you said a word to me and it's driving me insane. Say anything. Say you're mad disappointed upset just say anything. Please!" He said
I grabbed the gray lock box down from the closet and the pulled the dogtags off my neck before handing them to him and leaving with my suitcase. Trent glanced at me walking away before looking at the box and sitting on the floor. He looked around and found a note attracted to the bottom of it stating; If you got this box than it means either I'm dead or you broke your promise. When he openned he saw every letter that he ever wrote a few of my letters that was returned to sender and tons of pictures of us together but the last thing he expected to see was a copy of a restraining order inside. He couldn't believe that my name was on the signature line until he turned it around on the back and looked over the message I left for him.
"MICHAEL!" He yelled racing out the room and running down stairs
Michael was coming out the bathroom while me and Nina were gathering the last of our stuff and saying goodbye to everybody.
"Alex! Can we talk for a second?" He asked walking up to us
"Yeah but you might handle that first." I answered
"Handle what?" He asked before Trent tackled him into the next room
"What did you do?" Nina asked looking at me
"I'll tell you when we get back home. Alright?" I said while she nodded and we both walked out
"YOU HAD ALEX SIGN A FUCKING RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST ME!?" Trent yelled
"Yes! YES! But it was for you're own good. You never saw her right after the incident remember? You tried to leave town before the cops found you. I thought a little time apart would help you guys but it only did the opposite and I'm sorry...for everything." He explained
"No wonder I never got her letters...you kept us apart. I thought she hated me and I hated myself for a long time because of it." Trent said moving away
"I know that's why I got it lifted right after your suicide attempt. Look I'm sorry for past and recent mistakes but if we don't stop fighting we'll never get them back we have to work together. I know I'm not you're brother anymore but I need a HUGE favor." He said
"Hey sissy. Can I borrow your laptop?" I asked
"Where's yours?" Nina asked sitting on her suitcase trying to force it close
"I broke it." I answered walking it trying to help
"Computer?" She asked
"Out the window." I answered
"Tablet?"
"Punched through."
"Phone?"
"Fifth one stomped on today."
"Why?" She asked
"Because Trent. Need I say more?" I asked
"He's still putting viruses in your technology?" She asked
"Yup. He won't stop until I either call him reply to it or go see him in person." I said finally zipping up her bag
"I think you should hear him out." She said
" Why on earth should I do that?" I asked
"Because unlike Michael he is actually trying to make things right with you. You don't have to take him back so soon but just hear what he has to say." She suggested
"Can I just borrow your laptop?" I asked
"It's on the dresser pass to me so I can type in the password." She said getting up and pulling her bag on the floor
"I can't believe you're leaving with Warren in two days." I said grabbing her laptop and sitting back on the bed
"Yeah. It should be fun considering the last time we went to London it was on business and...Oh my God! Ok this has got to be my personal favorite." Nina said laughing and showing me the screen
It was a pop-up of a donkey in a G.I. Joe uniform and above itself head in bold rainbow colored letters saying G.I. Jackass is extremely sorry and is desperately hoping forgiveness please contact him to talk this out. While Nina was laughing her ass off I grabbed her laptop and threw it out the window, "I owe you a new laptop." I instantly declared
"HEY IS THAT ANYWAY TO TREAT TECHNOLOGY!?" Trent asked standing a few steps away from the mess
"Sissy take care of that for me?" I asked
"You should just listen to what he has to say." She replied
"Please? I'm just not ready yet." I said
"Fine but next time he comes around you have to at least listen to him." She said before climbing out the window
"Thank you!" I said
"What is it Trent?" She asked
"I came here to talk to Alex but I guess she doesn't want to...ummm. There's a secret concert in town and I was hoping to give you guys the tickets since I know she doesn't wanna go with me." He said holding them in his hand
"Put them in a mail slot and we'll think about it." She said
"Ummmm...yeah." Trent sadly said putting the tickets in the slot unaware that I was standing on the opposite side of the door, "Ummmm...ok see ya around." He said
"The worst thing you can do is give up." She said while Trent got on his bike and left, "YOU'RE GOING TO THAT CONCERT!" Nina yelled walking back inside after making sure Trent was gone
"You can't Make Me!" I yelled in protest
"BITCH PLEASE YOU'RE ASS IS GOING EVEN IF I HAVE DRAG YOU BY YOUR HAIR!" She yelled
"I'd love to see you try." I mumbled before noticing that deadly thousand year stare she was giving me
"Alright!" She said happily before chasing after me
~ A few hours later~
"Did you really have to hit me?" I asked rubbing my head
"Next time don't runaway from me now help me look out for this place." She replied
"You know you're fucking insane right? First you chased me all over the house hit me that's assault by the way kidnapped me and forced me to go to a concert you don't even the location to all to try to get me back with Trent." I said
"Whether you want to admit it or not you miss him. Just how many times have you been sleepwalking to his room and waking up in his old football jersey?" She asked
"I hate you. I really do hate you sometimes." I said folding my arms
"I love you too but you're not yourself without him and he's miserable without you. You need to stop being stubborn and talk to him." She said
"I'll talk to him when you talk to Michael." I said
"The day I talk to Michael is when he realizes how wrong he was. He has to come to me not the other way around. Hey look at that poster with those lights attached." She said pulling over and getting out
We both looked at the poster and noticed how the lights were lined up like an arrow leading across the street. After following a trail of lights we came up to this abandoned building with this guy standing in front of it with his arms folded looking around for anybody suspicious. We glanced at each other before walking towards him and showing him our tickets. He did this little nod and gesture with hand signaling us to go inside the supposedly concerthall. The first floor was cleared out expected for a giant glow in the dark arrow pointing towards the elevator.
"Are you sure This is the place?" I asked as the doors closed
One Republic: Take us down and we keep trying
40,000 feet keep flying
Take us down and we keep trying
40,000 feet keep flying
Everybody in the building: Take us down and we keep trying
40,000 feet keep flying
Take us down and we keep trying
40,000 feet keep flying
One Republic: Looose myself
If I lose myself tonight
Hoo hoo ooh
Hoo hoo ooh
"Oh yeah. We're at the right place." She replied running in while I followed up behind her
One republic played a few more songs before Coldplay came out and preformed songs from their album Mylo Xyloto by the time they played Every Tear Is Waterfall I forgot all about my problems so did Nina. So we thought the night couldn't end on a higher note until a stagehand told us to come with him to meet a few of the band members. But when we got to the dressingrooms they were empty expected a single spotlight and piano.
"We have something we want to tell you guys if that's ok with you?" Michael said while Trent sat at the piano
I looked at Nina who shrugged her shoulders before looking back at them, "I guess." I answered before Trent started playing
Michael: Dreams
That's where I have to go
To see your beautiful face anymore
I stare at a picture of you
And listen to the radio
Trent: Hope
Hope there's a conversation
Where we both admit we had it good
But until then
It's alienation
I know
That much is understood
And I realize...
Both: If you ask me how I'm doin'
I would say I'm doin' just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out
And I sit down
At a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth
No matter what I say
I'm, not over you
Michael: Damn
Damn girl you do it well
And I thought you were innocent
I took your heart and put it through hell
And still your magnificent
Trent: I, I'm a boomerang
Doesn't matter how you throw me
Turn around
And I'm back in the game
Even better than the old me
But I'm not even close without you
Both: And if I had the chanceTo renew
You know there isn't a thing I wouldn't do
I could get back on the right track
But only if you'd be convinced
So until then...
If you ask me how I'm doin'
I would say I'm doin' just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out
And I sit down
At a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth
No matter what I say
I'm, not over you
I'm, not over you
Not over you
Not over you
Not over you
"So...you think just because you guys gave us this concert tickets and sung a song you think we'll just take you back?" Nina asked
"No but I thought it would be a good way to keep your attention. I've been a heartless basterd to you and it's nobody's fault but my own. I started being interested in Rogue because I thought she was something different but in hindsight I didn't even knew her. I didn't sleep with her hell I barely had a relationship with her that night you saw me sneaking out of her room she was pretty upset about something and didn't want me to leave her alone." Michael said
"Than why leave so late?" She questioned
"Like I said she didn't want me to leave her alone and she seems the type you don't leave like that but I should've been more worried about you. I knew something was wrong but I ignored the signs and even though I can live forever there's nothing within my lifetime I can do to make it up to you expect admit to you that I am sorry and I have a problem." He said
"Finally." Nina sighed under her breath while I glanced at her
"I'm going to rehab in February. Trent already set up everything and he's actually sponsor me even though we're not on the best terms right now. But the real reason for this was because I don't want you to hate me anymore." He said
"Is this true?' She asked
"Yeah. I called in a few favors from some friends in Florida who'll be happy to take him in." Trent said
"And I heard about your trip with Warren coming up I didn't want us to end on a bad note or leave everything unresolved between us. Maybe just maybe after I come back and you see how much I've changed we could start all over." He said
"Maybe we can talk about that now." She said before I hit her
Michael smiled a little, "I'd like that." He replied
"Did you just really fall for that crap? I bet Trent wrote down every word of that for him." I whispered to her
"You need to relax and talk to Trent since you're so worried about him." She replied
"I am not!" I yelled out loud
"Point set game and match." She said with a smirk while I folded my arms
"Wanna get out of here?" Michael asked
"Yeah. It's time we give these two a moment to talk anyway." Nina replied walking back to the concerthall with him
"Awwww great! That pain in the ass had the car keys!" I thought out loud
"If you want a ride home just ask." Trent said
"Willyoutakemehome?" I muttered through
"I'm sorry but I couldn't hear you. Can you speak up and not mumble this time?" He asked
I sighed deeply, "Will you take me home?" I asked
"You're forgetting something." He said while I clinched my fists
"Fine. Will you Please take me home?" I asked
"Nope take a cab." He quickly replied
"You're an asshole." I quickly said
"And finally you're talking to me." He said
"Not for long." I said
"Fine. I'll take you home I need to get the last of my stuff anyway." He said leading the way
