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.”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfJnWgoICj
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.1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRhO1QOPZe
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.1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiqAjwRMYC
“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.”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYNgEOcUuM
She frowned. “I know you don’t want to spend your Christmas in that gloomy castle.”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2Twl3ATK0
“It’s a palace,”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIvOujGeq9
“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.”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkCFfVZZTW
“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.”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgHy7KKxNH
“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.”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGVbfx7vqu
“I know!” I sighed frustrated. “But I just don’t want...Pinky? What is that behind you?”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4b6QZGiaT
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.”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG0DY9UAEE
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.1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPPtTuRWvA
“You ok Alex?” Pinky leaned closer to the screen. “You look pale.”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcodYD2Wv5O
“No no!” I laughed nervously. “It’s just that it’s really cold in here!”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ6AoM0Yyy
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!1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUGiJ457UH
Pinky tugged on Lux’s inky black hair which made him wake up and stare blankly into the computer’s camera.1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxifL0IXDhB
“Alex?” He said groggily. “Is that you?”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3kA7gBVBZ
I gave him a small wave and a tight lipped smile. “Hey Lux.”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz593YB92SL
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!”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdFed62duB
“I’ve been great,” I said awkwardly. “What about you?”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOFM2igcyE
“Good good!” He beamed. Why is he so smiley and happy.1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEs3uNWO2f
“What’s got you in such a happy mood?” I asked. “You never smile this much in a day.”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19NXOdW4v3
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?”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDgBzmCBHz
Yes I do remember the girl whom you beat up OUR brother for. “Yeah?”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxTJCEUanE
“Well, I kinda asked her out and she said yes so we’re going on a date tonight!” He grinned.1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfrY8bLXCk
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?”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56iSg5ANR8
He chuckled. “Yeah she did. But she could’ve turned green for all I care! I’m just happy she said yes.”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeJc8G5Tfl
“Well good for you then. She seems like nice girl. Don’t fuck up.”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2PcomZtDR
“I won’t,” He placed his hands behind his head. “So, I hear Crimson’s in the hospital again.”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMXWuoPLSJ
My smile vanished and I sighed. “Yeah, turns out he’s an IED and I triggered an episode by being a selfish bitch.”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIDI2T51ln
“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!”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv8zaShorW
My eyebrow twitched in annoyance. “Look who’s talking hot head! You nearly killed Liam the other day!”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrryOYtrT3
“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!”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZRCbbUQgE
“And you say I have the anger issues.” I raised an eyebrow at him.1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdPbgYYJXm
He huffed and sat back in his seat before crossing his arms. “I’m calm see! I AM CALM!”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6qIajJZF4
“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?”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4kLYFNrkV
“For the thousandth time, NO!” I rolled my eyes at her. “I’ll be fine.”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSaMlakqWX
“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?”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHcJpphgMl
“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.”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KHxAX9kJF
“You act as if you’re so much older than me!” He spat. “You’re barely a year older than me!”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOWFbqePbF
“Yeah but I’m smarter than you by at least twenty five years!”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyn2Vnlpj1
“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.”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMHTUbbmHH
“WHAT!” I shouted. “NO NO NO!”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwvI4nYS49
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!1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMoMNwDW4z
“Aw come on!” He whined. “Why not?”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6SrzShZnO
“Because-Because...” I struggled to come up with a good excuse. “Where will you stay?”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaFqfdQ9wA
“He can stay at mines,” Pinky shrugged. “My parents won’t mind.”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kgrtGjPta
DAMN IT PINKY!1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhEtH7hXPc
“But isn’t your extended family also coming to stay with you?” I pointed out. “Your house will already be full.”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH32cfjb0s
“Yeah you’re right.” She tapped her chin with her index finger.1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu43Ei4OB1
HA! Alex you are one smart, slick, gorgeous-1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKcZtYTQdx
“What if I bring my mom along with me to Edensville and we just stay in a hotel!” Lux suggested.1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZIqqUbkpd
Fuck.1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD3wDck1ie
“Great idea Lux!” Pinky beamed. “You guys can stay in a hotel near to us and then we can meet up everyday!”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfDA3wzlez
You’ve gotta be shitting me.1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XCct3C6Cf
“Now hang on one second, I never agreed to this!” I interjected.1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFMqF9B4qR
“Who cares what you thing?” Lux flipped me off.1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLo7mgUWyb
“WHAT!” I shrieked. “YOU LITTLE BRAT I’M GONNA-”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrafkoDfKTn
“I thought you said you were going to be a better person?”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTb9VuuO1X
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.1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIFefmDUad
“CRIMSON!” I cried. “YOU HEARD THAT?”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gwXxPp576
“Every word.” He croaked as he rubbed my back gently.1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7659Xg0po
“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.”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAj1b2RqsL
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.1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZcSeiJLUx
But unfortunately, we have a cock-blocking friend names Lux.1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIujeWcaJta
“HEY CRIMSON!” Lux shouted from the computer screen as he waved furiously. “HOW YA FEELING BRO?”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsYH3YqrzZ
Crimson chuckled slightly. “A bit groggy, but I’ll live. I haven’t seen you in what feels like forever.”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7WotIfUKd
“That’s because SOMEBODY!” Lux narrowed his eyes at me. “Decided to play MIA and didn’t tell me she was going to Edensville!”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6EIxdywcW
“Shut the hell up Lux!” I glared.1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFycOaJI7b
“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!”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXbdPzpU68
“GO AWAY LUX!”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY0BURu6TN
“And now you’re shouting at me!” He exasperated. “Good God woman! That is poor conduct and I-”1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KfMaFNkqj
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.1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T73YDSJqe
“I don’t think better people just hang up on their friends without prior warning.” Crimson chuckled slightly at me.1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKBph1n9sn
“Fuck better right now, just kiss me!” I said before crashing my lips onto his and wrapping my arms around his neck.1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVbpEIBuik
I am going to be a better person, but Crimson’s kisses will just help speed up that process right now!1103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDCV8WVxq8
