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.”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnP3nvMz2G
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooPnLedsOq
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z86n2JxdE
“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.”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlch8DsjGai
She frowned. “I know you don’t want to spend your Christmas in that gloomy castle.”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpjQOdjQVT
“It’s a palace,”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeQPvDtoAe
“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.”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUUkDbig2q
“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.”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnmzvsIIIn
“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.”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lRP8ohCC2
“I know!” I sighed frustrated. “But I just don’t want...Pinky? What is that behind you?”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwMaaHfcRS
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.”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUL44cYxah
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzHnJLaclu
“You ok Alex?” Pinky leaned closer to the screen. “You look pale.”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsuRKHb1h6
“No no!” I laughed nervously. “It’s just that it’s really cold in here!”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fG26qOsYx
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!1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMmscYPxZs
Pinky tugged on Lux’s inky black hair which made him wake up and stare blankly into the computer’s camera.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnbQzp5JvZ
“Alex?” He said groggily. “Is that you?”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx9LAQ4zdD
I gave him a small wave and a tight lipped smile. “Hey Lux.”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV9oxFC7Jd
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!”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZzr0XL5VM
“I’ve been great,” I said awkwardly. “What about you?”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsqukAWbdj
“Good good!” He beamed. Why is he so smiley and happy.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzT0e1uuRt
“What’s got you in such a happy mood?” I asked. “You never smile this much in a day.”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLxanDHRs0
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?”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF4ypyZnx8
Yes I do remember the girl whom you beat up OUR brother for. “Yeah?”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieE9qhWbkP
“Well, I kinda asked her out and she said yes so we’re going on a date tonight!” He grinned.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOV3Ztv3C8
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?”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR52M1vCFX
He chuckled. “Yeah she did. But she could’ve turned green for all I care! I’m just happy she said yes.”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GGU3SBvpk
“Well good for you then. She seems like nice girl. Don’t fuck up.”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWOVUy0iID
“I won’t,” He placed his hands behind his head. “So, I hear Crimson’s in the hospital again.”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdloa7We4cZ
My smile vanished and I sighed. “Yeah, turns out he’s an IED and I triggered an episode by being a selfish bitch.”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMKMnGiO1V
“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!”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BlLXjwH8k
My eyebrow twitched in annoyance. “Look who’s talking hot head! You nearly killed Liam the other day!”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcsoChKJp7
“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!”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiSVi2WAcy
“And you say I have the anger issues.” I raised an eyebrow at him.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8pKeQbyj2
He huffed and sat back in his seat before crossing his arms. “I’m calm see! I AM CALM!”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSMjCNpDyH
“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?”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfLOOE9r7O
“For the thousandth time, NO!” I rolled my eyes at her. “I’ll be fine.”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZffYT630NU
“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?”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5oz3SLzj4
“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.”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVZqdxsss0
“You act as if you’re so much older than me!” He spat. “You’re barely a year older than me!”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKFvgny4hg
“Yeah but I’m smarter than you by at least twenty five years!”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zNffyRmek
“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.”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUdfwwcVyr
“WHAT!” I shouted. “NO NO NO!”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIpXKxUgoA
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!1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE7likpTw6
“Aw come on!” He whined. “Why not?”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpiQZS3OVz
“Because-Because...” I struggled to come up with a good excuse. “Where will you stay?”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3zNgFNzHS
“He can stay at mines,” Pinky shrugged. “My parents won’t mind.”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYstiWw7x5
DAMN IT PINKY!1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMSzT27zKO
“But isn’t your extended family also coming to stay with you?” I pointed out. “Your house will already be full.”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitzQq6TRfc
“Yeah you’re right.” She tapped her chin with her index finger.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM2sXnxjvI
HA! Alex you are one smart, slick, gorgeous-1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7VBlOg8JY
“What if I bring my mom along with me to Edensville and we just stay in a hotel!” Lux suggested.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSuPUbxI1A
Fuck.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgfJuw19zY
“Great idea Lux!” Pinky beamed. “You guys can stay in a hotel near to us and then we can meet up everyday!”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq91hZshehQ
You’ve gotta be shitting me.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptSqVHNtie
“Now hang on one second, I never agreed to this!” I interjected.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEno5WRfMS
“Who cares what you thing?” Lux flipped me off.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX21YcGFO3P
“WHAT!” I shrieked. “YOU LITTLE BRAT I’M GONNA-”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmx5D55mCQ
“I thought you said you were going to be a better person?”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1zzu0tqz2
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOdKmR439z
“CRIMSON!” I cried. “YOU HEARD THAT?”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRdtIX2gcM
“Every word.” He croaked as he rubbed my back gently.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZroXcBJ7Cp
“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.”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiPDdGxU74
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8EE5PYNEZ
But unfortunately, we have a cock-blocking friend names Lux.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa1Nr8mLyE
“HEY CRIMSON!” Lux shouted from the computer screen as he waved furiously. “HOW YA FEELING BRO?”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5gmkKhuFb
Crimson chuckled slightly. “A bit groggy, but I’ll live. I haven’t seen you in what feels like forever.”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsyYXR7m7t
“That’s because SOMEBODY!” Lux narrowed his eyes at me. “Decided to play MIA and didn’t tell me she was going to Edensville!”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCMIvi9RrB
“Shut the hell up Lux!” I glared.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPeBplm2Up
“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!”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpB70JQhuT
“GO AWAY LUX!”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWQY3lyrpJ
“And now you’re shouting at me!” He exasperated. “Good God woman! That is poor conduct and I-”1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTw2ofMjMh
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.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtIgwFrVTy
“I don’t think better people just hang up on their friends without prior warning.” Crimson chuckled slightly at me.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92jCIPG55C
“Fuck better right now, just kiss me!” I said before crashing my lips onto his and wrapping my arms around his neck.1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cDhCaD9h1
I am going to be a better person, but Crimson’s kisses will just help speed up that process right now!1030Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe18LwsVOL1
