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.”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudNFyRqIu3
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.1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUBMAbSMRf
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.1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp7tCabQsJ
“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.”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF5Kf5kghu
She frowned. “I know you don’t want to spend your Christmas in that gloomy castle.”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZqgDH2apd
“It’s a palace,”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYmUY5bmxC
“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.”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJysbjJ59uY
“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.”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHO8aVpZ7t
“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.”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGyn4PeOdi
“I know!” I sighed frustrated. “But I just don’t want...Pinky? What is that behind you?”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX6TndUhob
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.”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD05m2jFen
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.1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBkhUacQkJ
“You ok Alex?” Pinky leaned closer to the screen. “You look pale.”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIr2kWFLqL
“No no!” I laughed nervously. “It’s just that it’s really cold in here!”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JW9wMxSWg
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!1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ55Ods7hp
Pinky tugged on Lux’s inky black hair which made him wake up and stare blankly into the computer’s camera.1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7s19Bg4d7
“Alex?” He said groggily. “Is that you?”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiZeq0wOkC
I gave him a small wave and a tight lipped smile. “Hey Lux.”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87rDAyyKEw
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!”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12mOLyIU5T
“I’ve been great,” I said awkwardly. “What about you?”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqGlnAfyQi
“Good good!” He beamed. Why is he so smiley and happy.1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9DklulRwr
“What’s got you in such a happy mood?” I asked. “You never smile this much in a day.”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzOiEjtdxV
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?”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u5knF9uM2
Yes I do remember the girl whom you beat up OUR brother for. “Yeah?”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzJsww4dkY
“Well, I kinda asked her out and she said yes so we’re going on a date tonight!” He grinned.1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk8XhUsVRt
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?”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBALsHkHonx
He chuckled. “Yeah she did. But she could’ve turned green for all I care! I’m just happy she said yes.”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCIEQ1RZ3F
“Well good for you then. She seems like nice girl. Don’t fuck up.”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2GULWe1Oe
“I won’t,” He placed his hands behind his head. “So, I hear Crimson’s in the hospital again.”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv8i2DyOJ5
My smile vanished and I sighed. “Yeah, turns out he’s an IED and I triggered an episode by being a selfish bitch.”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmdyDjIxK5
“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!”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRmfGFOixB
My eyebrow twitched in annoyance. “Look who’s talking hot head! You nearly killed Liam the other day!”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qENZTHWnO
“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!”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGPyGHxH8O
“And you say I have the anger issues.” I raised an eyebrow at him.1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3xq4gwrgs
He huffed and sat back in his seat before crossing his arms. “I’m calm see! I AM CALM!”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hh9KpOWcZ
“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?”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOcs3e6HCy
“For the thousandth time, NO!” I rolled my eyes at her. “I’ll be fine.”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL9x2wFVKE
“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?”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT0evheQXe
“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.”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6YzqTpUQJ
“You act as if you’re so much older than me!” He spat. “You’re barely a year older than me!”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUWHPI8qgs
“Yeah but I’m smarter than you by at least twenty five years!”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPEzNc6SSQ
“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.”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03YgydEhNS
“WHAT!” I shouted. “NO NO NO!”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrugYw2jmv
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!1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AQDJqMI5d
“Aw come on!” He whined. “Why not?”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqswgVPbQbr
“Because-Because...” I struggled to come up with a good excuse. “Where will you stay?”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvzQUBJS6C
“He can stay at mines,” Pinky shrugged. “My parents won’t mind.”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2TOHKWhpa
DAMN IT PINKY!1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRJWSPxfK5
“But isn’t your extended family also coming to stay with you?” I pointed out. “Your house will already be full.”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXjO5lPGt1
“Yeah you’re right.” She tapped her chin with her index finger.1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1A7dLTUSj
HA! Alex you are one smart, slick, gorgeous-1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgei8lMBGk
“What if I bring my mom along with me to Edensville and we just stay in a hotel!” Lux suggested.1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS6rAvrwhc
Fuck.1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnInXzI9HFb
“Great idea Lux!” Pinky beamed. “You guys can stay in a hotel near to us and then we can meet up everyday!”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2o6UIHxzn
You’ve gotta be shitting me.1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2SFjKof1C
“Now hang on one second, I never agreed to this!” I interjected.1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5WQdNmRVG
“Who cares what you thing?” Lux flipped me off.1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFjZPb05FQ
“WHAT!” I shrieked. “YOU LITTLE BRAT I’M GONNA-”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG56iYXcnuP
“I thought you said you were going to be a better person?”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnj58KUjjz
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.1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnFuyhkuoz
“CRIMSON!” I cried. “YOU HEARD THAT?”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWHmwytotg
“Every word.” He croaked as he rubbed my back gently.1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURRbAHAAtr
“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.”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4awvNrOSBX
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.1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJqEgn1qqj
But unfortunately, we have a cock-blocking friend names Lux.1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLOGaKjF1L
“HEY CRIMSON!” Lux shouted from the computer screen as he waved furiously. “HOW YA FEELING BRO?”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPyiZZbM1u
Crimson chuckled slightly. “A bit groggy, but I’ll live. I haven’t seen you in what feels like forever.”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h0OJ98Lt6
“That’s because SOMEBODY!” Lux narrowed his eyes at me. “Decided to play MIA and didn’t tell me she was going to Edensville!”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTfOY3XP7i
“Shut the hell up Lux!” I glared.1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6H95hVWKw
“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!”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPlVM2VO8x
“GO AWAY LUX!”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xh2gqYgjF
“And now you’re shouting at me!” He exasperated. “Good God woman! That is poor conduct and I-”1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHwSfgwbhG
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.1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdksMWRIGfX
“I don’t think better people just hang up on their friends without prior warning.” Crimson chuckled slightly at me.1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsroAbhIDx
“Fuck better right now, just kiss me!” I said before crashing my lips onto his and wrapping my arms around his neck.1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEhQDVSm9R
I am going to be a better person, but Crimson’s kisses will just help speed up that process right now!1245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCL1Tn2phu
