Chapter 28 - Ages
“Are you sure you don’t want me to fly over there a few days early?” Pinky asked concerned. “I’ll book the tickets right now.”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRyGne6r9f
After the whole ordeal with the press, Nia and I stayed a little while longer in Crimson’s hospital room before she ultimately decided to go back home to stay with Gray and Apricot. They were only ten and fifteen respectively.983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeSYtWN2By
The news of Crimson’s IED episode has now spread all across the world. Major news stations now treated as “breaking news” and they’re replaying my interview with the press a thousand times! It’s really getting annoying.983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK4wvmHbME
“Thanks Pinky,” I smiled softly at her through the computer screen. “But I’ll be fine. Besides, you should spend your Christmas with your family. I’m going to attend the float parade then head back to the capital that same evening.”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwLG8HRWZa
She frowned. “I know you don’t want to spend your Christmas in that gloomy castle.”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe7dB7G0Jv
“It’s a palace,”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h9FNHpQE9
“Whatever!” She rolled her eyes. “Crimson is going to want to stay with his family in Edensville for Christmas. But if you go back to the capital, he’ll have to come with you.”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3GqwFAg0T
“You’re right,” I ran my hand over my face. “ But I’ve already caused his family unnecessary drama. I might ruin their Christmas then they’ll hate me.”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrtmWlNDOt
“You put Crimson in the hospital and they still adore you.” She raised an eyebrow. “I don’t think that’s their is anything you can do to get them to hate you.”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvbFe3kE4p
“I know!” I sighed frustrated. “But I just don’t want...Pinky? What is that behind you?”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAOjxzZ7rL
She quickly looked behind her and let out a light chuckle. “Oh, that’s just Lux. He came to hang out earlier today and ended up crashing on my bed.”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7EwQOBAbL
Lux! I haven’t spoken to him since I left his house two weeks ago! Dear God, the shock and surprise and him being my half-brother rushed back to me and I began sweating bullets.983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC4JKcYsiF
“You ok Alex?” Pinky leaned closer to the screen. “You look pale.”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaamNG58l1
“No no!” I laughed nervously. “It’s just that it’s really cold in here!”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p9vOfBMqA
Jesus, that lie sounded so fake! But thankfully, Pinky didn’t pick up on it. She has yet to know about Lux’s relation to me and since those two have become so close, I decided not to tell her. Don’t get me wrong, she is my friend and I do trust her, but not with a possibly life-threatening secret like this. I barely trust myself!983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafv0aSVTUs
Pinky tugged on Lux’s inky black hair which made him wake up and stare blankly into the computer’s camera.983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuR5HYscbQ
“Alex?” He said groggily. “Is that you?”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82UFyr3tZa
I gave him a small wave and a tight lipped smile. “Hey Lux.”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9PQYwoBW9
His black eyes widened and he immediately perked up with a huge grin on your face. “Hey! How have you been? I haven’t heard from you in ages!”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutcZoaNFR6
“I’ve been great,” I said awkwardly. “What about you?”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2Azcxv1OE
“Good good!” He beamed. Why is he so smiley and happy.983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMacwJ3IoR4
“What’s got you in such a happy mood?” I asked. “You never smile this much in a day.”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9o4AMgXIz
His pale immediately turned scarlet and I knew it must have something to do with that Alice girl. “Remember the girl I beat up your brother for? Alice Pride?”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwEguLHbow
Yes I do remember the girl whom you beat up OUR brother for. “Yeah?”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ060XrRJ0p
“Well, I kinda asked her out and she said yes so we’re going on a date tonight!” He grinned.983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpRtYg1Vy2
A genuine smile etched it’s way on my face as I clapped my hands. “Well it’s about damn time you grew some balls! Let me guess, she turned beat red when you asked her, didn’t she?”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoHq9zmKCZ
He chuckled. “Yeah she did. But she could’ve turned green for all I care! I’m just happy she said yes.”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8IHiiYJDA
“Well good for you then. She seems like nice girl. Don’t fuck up.”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CbzHXTlXY
“I won’t,” He placed his hands behind his head. “So, I hear Crimson’s in the hospital again.”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBu0olGer9
My smile vanished and I sighed. “Yeah, turns out he’s an IED and I triggered an episode by being a selfish bitch.”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN4CHli4jr
“Oh wow! I was actually shocked to hear he was one; I would’ve been less shocked if it was you who was one,” he said. “You know, since you have some serious anger issues!”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUxaiJXNMu
My eyebrow twitched in annoyance. “Look who’s talking hot head! You nearly killed Liam the other day!”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKjLx5kvCG
“Hey, he started it by insulting my girl!” Lux flared up from his seat. “And I barely touched him! He’s just a spoiled little pussy!”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlHwvQu5sk
“And you say I have the anger issues.” I raised an eyebrow at him.983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkR7JWCwML
He huffed and sat back in his seat before crossing his arms. “I’m calm see! I AM CALM!”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQttm7k7Fy6
“Ok you two!” Pinky said pushing Lux out of the camera. “Talk about your anger issues later. Are you sure you don’t want me to come down there Alex?”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8v4n157Gb
“For the thousandth time, NO!” I rolled my eyes at her. “I’ll be fine.”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolC9IEyRRc
“Hey I wanna go to Edensville too!” Lux squeezed next to Pinky in front of the camera. “If both of you are gone, who am I gonna hang out with?”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamDPng6cya
“I don’t know, maybe friends in your grade!” I said. “You’re a idiotic fifteen year old boy, you should be hanging out with other equally idiotic boys.”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkckRKuB5UC
“You act as if you’re so much older than me!” He spat. “You’re barely a year older than me!”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqb1y4UidV
“Yeah but I’m smarter than you by at least twenty five years!”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrDyH5MftW
“Stop it guys!” Pink interrupted. “If your mom agrees, you can come with me when I go next week. Though, she might want you with her for the holidays.”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡataHqrT58V
“WHAT!” I shouted. “NO NO NO!”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k2xIFscPz
The whole reason I came on this awful trip was to get away from all the problems back at home. LUX WAS 60% OF THE PROBLEM! This would be pointless if his annoyingly, overly-attached self is there hovering over me 24/7!983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBokMIUspM7
“Aw come on!” He whined. “Why not?”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFoRDN4Jyu
“Because-Because...” I struggled to come up with a good excuse. “Where will you stay?”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyPiuc1mBx
“He can stay at mines,” Pinky shrugged. “My parents won’t mind.”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVlCBiPE67
DAMN IT PINKY!983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYxkyc0A5z
“But isn’t your extended family also coming to stay with you?” I pointed out. “Your house will already be full.”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlTb9UFRwa
“Yeah you’re right.” She tapped her chin with her index finger.983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWfDyhMdHD
HA! Alex you are one smart, slick, gorgeous-983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn8SJeQR0g
“What if I bring my mom along with me to Edensville and we just stay in a hotel!” Lux suggested.983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3t9FirmgR
Fuck.983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGJj8U8big
“Great idea Lux!” Pinky beamed. “You guys can stay in a hotel near to us and then we can meet up everyday!”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOaeqEm93v
You’ve gotta be shitting me.983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WATJETrAs
“Now hang on one second, I never agreed to this!” I interjected.983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3mWhxgmXd
“Who cares what you thing?” Lux flipped me off.983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Azo2hlTGQ
“WHAT!” I shrieked. “YOU LITTLE BRAT I’M GONNA-”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbGWPdT9o2
“I thought you said you were going to be a better person?”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKfdf9Kcna
A whipped around to see Crimson moving ever so slowly on his bed. His eyes were slowly opening and eventually they locked with mine and I let out a sigh of relief before running over and wrapping my arms around my neck.983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTt076bjMr
“CRIMSON!” I cried. “YOU HEARD THAT?”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm0jzlx2vH
“Every word.” He croaked as he rubbed my back gently.983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zn7QEXqwS
“I’m so sorry babe!” I nestled my face in my neck. “It’s my fault that you’re in here and I promise on my life right here and now, that I will become a better person and I will change for you. I will be better Crimson I promise.”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TE28g2Rij
He didn’t say anything, instead his gently caressed my cheek and brought our foreheads to touch. It was a simple gesture, but it meant so much to both of us. We didn’t need words to communicate our feelings and emotions for each other.983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9MSNNDyY6
But unfortunately, we have a cock-blocking friend names Lux.983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUCc2LgiVa
“HEY CRIMSON!” Lux shouted from the computer screen as he waved furiously. “HOW YA FEELING BRO?”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ8BRPVwXu
Crimson chuckled slightly. “A bit groggy, but I’ll live. I haven’t seen you in what feels like forever.”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kE2e1YNK1
“That’s because SOMEBODY!” Lux narrowed his eyes at me. “Decided to play MIA and didn’t tell me she was going to Edensville!”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhOaPw2jTo
“Shut the hell up Lux!” I glared.983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiCZGTiuD0
“Uh uh Alexandra,” He said in a posh British accent while wagging his finger at me. “Better people don’t tell others to ‘shut the hell up’ that is just absurd!”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlVvojHkN7
“GO AWAY LUX!”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6S9won8Wx
“And now you’re shouting at me!” He exasperated. “Good God woman! That is poor conduct and I-”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fm4HXYT0t
I hurriedly closed my laptop down before he could say anything else. Honestly, that boy is just so annoying when he wants to be! Hopefully Pinky won’t be mad that I abruptly ended the call.983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSVhqTx3wn
“I don’t think better people just hang up on their friends without prior warning.” Crimson chuckled slightly at me.983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvs1JvFXDJ
“Fuck better right now, just kiss me!” I said before crashing my lips onto his and wrapping my arms around his neck.983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXqyuhZEiA
I am going to be a better person, but Crimson’s kisses will just help speed up that process right now!983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlVsGk7gm5
