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.”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqvSGLgI7e
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.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPpoI8I4Xr
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.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fF0QYoFl0
“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.”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nVLTKfPgY
She frowned. “I know you don’t want to spend your Christmas in that gloomy castle.”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T9o2NXhvE
“It’s a palace,”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk1SbqFC7y
“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.”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPjFLGIjre
“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.”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvez0BIMh5
“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.”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAba4O22U4
“I know!” I sighed frustrated. “But I just don’t want...Pinky? What is that behind you?”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r8JbSXapo
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.”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rjzfm5RKl
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.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGPTA6mU9i
“You ok Alex?” Pinky leaned closer to the screen. “You look pale.”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXWOFKndgU
“No no!” I laughed nervously. “It’s just that it’s really cold in here!”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc8ncB8byA
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!984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOfKtCUpCQ
Pinky tugged on Lux’s inky black hair which made him wake up and stare blankly into the computer’s camera.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNZE8zSGXX
“Alex?” He said groggily. “Is that you?”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk6ssx9mzP
I gave him a small wave and a tight lipped smile. “Hey Lux.”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2j7V1nT3K
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!”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg8HhmZN29
“I’ve been great,” I said awkwardly. “What about you?”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqkYyYZcBW
“Good good!” He beamed. Why is he so smiley and happy.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CtkFPriHp
“What’s got you in such a happy mood?” I asked. “You never smile this much in a day.”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cm5yZdo7y
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?”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpBKfHCvcp
Yes I do remember the girl whom you beat up OUR brother for. “Yeah?”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbaGju2d3l
“Well, I kinda asked her out and she said yes so we’re going on a date tonight!” He grinned.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLBM7Jzjl4
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?”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv52wYnBO9
He chuckled. “Yeah she did. But she could’ve turned green for all I care! I’m just happy she said yes.”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58hnITchku
“Well good for you then. She seems like nice girl. Don’t fuck up.”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwVDf10ReX
“I won’t,” He placed his hands behind his head. “So, I hear Crimson’s in the hospital again.”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikIURWWBSz
My smile vanished and I sighed. “Yeah, turns out he’s an IED and I triggered an episode by being a selfish bitch.”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UXHF8Eb7v
“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!”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgBkJqlJXa
My eyebrow twitched in annoyance. “Look who’s talking hot head! You nearly killed Liam the other day!”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMVvcH0mJC
“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!”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY2qTqqTky
“And you say I have the anger issues.” I raised an eyebrow at him.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OiQWWS7Px
He huffed and sat back in his seat before crossing his arms. “I’m calm see! I AM CALM!”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFiJlWjey2
“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?”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS87WGM3F8
“For the thousandth time, NO!” I rolled my eyes at her. “I’ll be fine.”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr0sgaJ3aX
“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?”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2FntI7EqL
“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.”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KzA3eUV0Y
“You act as if you’re so much older than me!” He spat. “You’re barely a year older than me!”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFf7KYGlQL
“Yeah but I’m smarter than you by at least twenty five years!”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw02TEExme
“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.”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDEfZVohWV
“WHAT!” I shouted. “NO NO NO!”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR2zZs1S3o
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!984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HAuG9ygin
“Aw come on!” He whined. “Why not?”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0yhC4yeBh
“Because-Because...” I struggled to come up with a good excuse. “Where will you stay?”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmOkHaFETF
“He can stay at mines,” Pinky shrugged. “My parents won’t mind.”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKS2rnNc8e
DAMN IT PINKY!984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUfZaBV9dF
“But isn’t your extended family also coming to stay with you?” I pointed out. “Your house will already be full.”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdvqFhiglQ
“Yeah you’re right.” She tapped her chin with her index finger.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WgNl03u8x
HA! Alex you are one smart, slick, gorgeous-984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpZ8or9nAH
“What if I bring my mom along with me to Edensville and we just stay in a hotel!” Lux suggested.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSA3WSL93W
Fuck.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfHFxHE18r
“Great idea Lux!” Pinky beamed. “You guys can stay in a hotel near to us and then we can meet up everyday!”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcEZUu6bO3
You’ve gotta be shitting me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOv6F6a52f
“Now hang on one second, I never agreed to this!” I interjected.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQfUv0PS7F
“Who cares what you thing?” Lux flipped me off.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgbtgXtDhd
“WHAT!” I shrieked. “YOU LITTLE BRAT I’M GONNA-”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRzRR5huzA
“I thought you said you were going to be a better person?”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJD6OP2Mzo
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.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBEjQ9vI59
“CRIMSON!” I cried. “YOU HEARD THAT?”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9oWNuIyjX
“Every word.” He croaked as he rubbed my back gently.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRsQSMExVk
“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.”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAkHVUoH53
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.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z3b5degnL
But unfortunately, we have a cock-blocking friend names Lux.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ686fCU0eec
“HEY CRIMSON!” Lux shouted from the computer screen as he waved furiously. “HOW YA FEELING BRO?”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIpGdqpMZg
Crimson chuckled slightly. “A bit groggy, but I’ll live. I haven’t seen you in what feels like forever.”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C3P9HSauX
“That’s because SOMEBODY!” Lux narrowed his eyes at me. “Decided to play MIA and didn’t tell me she was going to Edensville!”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ofYcQ1Ff5
“Shut the hell up Lux!” I glared.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG624Rw4t5
“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!”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAB8XH9TEs
“GO AWAY LUX!”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq3XiITI4l
“And now you’re shouting at me!” He exasperated. “Good God woman! That is poor conduct and I-”984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnk5K9Z6iW
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.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxBNzSSc9B
“I don’t think better people just hang up on their friends without prior warning.” Crimson chuckled slightly at me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LO3KQyCLd
“Fuck better right now, just kiss me!” I said before crashing my lips onto his and wrapping my arms around his neck.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VYvJfRhPs
I am going to be a better person, but Crimson’s kisses will just help speed up that process right now!984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtLX01FDbd
