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.”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm6fNcNl6m
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.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN2f9jGD6A
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.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSYNO8jcc8
“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.”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVYOosMAvx
She frowned. “I know you don’t want to spend your Christmas in that gloomy castle.”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XZrGJ2uzM
“It’s a palace,”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CLjCR8uqr
“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.”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXZCSq1Bwz
“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.”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M9PimWXaz
“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.”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUCT0dFG2N
“I know!” I sighed frustrated. “But I just don’t want...Pinky? What is that behind you?”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1eUQ4jEdg
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.”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRgM1lBGVf
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.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVs6g4lPt5
“You ok Alex?” Pinky leaned closer to the screen. “You look pale.”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJrWWTIxAE
“No no!” I laughed nervously. “It’s just that it’s really cold in here!”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KKZQsJiCB
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!953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kh9JPMlwf
Pinky tugged on Lux’s inky black hair which made him wake up and stare blankly into the computer’s camera.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWngDekpDcQ
“Alex?” He said groggily. “Is that you?”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl88wtR0FE
I gave him a small wave and a tight lipped smile. “Hey Lux.”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzNE6Q2lqW
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!”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OKCHw6PoX
“I’ve been great,” I said awkwardly. “What about you?”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ1b9rp8xz
“Good good!” He beamed. Why is he so smiley and happy.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHgLGWoCOu
“What’s got you in such a happy mood?” I asked. “You never smile this much in a day.”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tjtcVy5Kw
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?”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9akwxZNySp
Yes I do remember the girl whom you beat up OUR brother for. “Yeah?”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgekz5u1JU5
“Well, I kinda asked her out and she said yes so we’re going on a date tonight!” He grinned.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvYNC93gFx
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?”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMbx5XGR66
He chuckled. “Yeah she did. But she could’ve turned green for all I care! I’m just happy she said yes.”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU4Qv06tl4
“Well good for you then. She seems like nice girl. Don’t fuck up.”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh9nSAHCiy
“I won’t,” He placed his hands behind his head. “So, I hear Crimson’s in the hospital again.”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR5dlUZKAp
My smile vanished and I sighed. “Yeah, turns out he’s an IED and I triggered an episode by being a selfish bitch.”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLazptfYOOp
“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!”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe8UAhpEr3
My eyebrow twitched in annoyance. “Look who’s talking hot head! You nearly killed Liam the other day!”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmftmg42D0
“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!”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EL1CCWYb9
“And you say I have the anger issues.” I raised an eyebrow at him.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3OGz006Fr
He huffed and sat back in his seat before crossing his arms. “I’m calm see! I AM CALM!”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J5xXex2Fc
“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?”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xpOOr2YDR
“For the thousandth time, NO!” I rolled my eyes at her. “I’ll be fine.”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6kkRx3s2l
“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?”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDyr2y2esz
“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.”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvj4qxRQTI
“You act as if you’re so much older than me!” He spat. “You’re barely a year older than me!”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH3Lfo6dLt
“Yeah but I’m smarter than you by at least twenty five years!”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhb5p9n5lt
“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.”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NnEBmjIEE
“WHAT!” I shouted. “NO NO NO!”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8D1qpaWGV
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!953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKEhHAeHCH
“Aw come on!” He whined. “Why not?”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pdegVVBE3
“Because-Because...” I struggled to come up with a good excuse. “Where will you stay?”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbpKo3kcob
“He can stay at mines,” Pinky shrugged. “My parents won’t mind.”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaUNJLC2gK
DAMN IT PINKY!953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg7fPhOx36
“But isn’t your extended family also coming to stay with you?” I pointed out. “Your house will already be full.”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWttISiGT3N
“Yeah you’re right.” She tapped her chin with her index finger.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pMSV6uTfT
HA! Alex you are one smart, slick, gorgeous-953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV74IJv1f1c
“What if I bring my mom along with me to Edensville and we just stay in a hotel!” Lux suggested.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDsyAc2uw5
Fuck.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUAbGQiuxy
“Great idea Lux!” Pinky beamed. “You guys can stay in a hotel near to us and then we can meet up everyday!”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphFe3vm20t
You’ve gotta be shitting me.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM6XobyTmn
“Now hang on one second, I never agreed to this!” I interjected.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEMAxVhwEG
“Who cares what you thing?” Lux flipped me off.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlPwWw049o
“WHAT!” I shrieked. “YOU LITTLE BRAT I’M GONNA-”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUqEpXnz1c
“I thought you said you were going to be a better person?”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzi63l4gVh
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.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZerxMH20Lc
“CRIMSON!” I cried. “YOU HEARD THAT?”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW6oD01J7t
“Every word.” He croaked as he rubbed my back gently.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9vRf1PMOp
“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.”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuSukKoRWK
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.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZsKnEgi0i
But unfortunately, we have a cock-blocking friend names Lux.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjy1iXRF2I
“HEY CRIMSON!” Lux shouted from the computer screen as he waved furiously. “HOW YA FEELING BRO?”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJAo3pR4bv
Crimson chuckled slightly. “A bit groggy, but I’ll live. I haven’t seen you in what feels like forever.”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY9vJr5PId
“That’s because SOMEBODY!” Lux narrowed his eyes at me. “Decided to play MIA and didn’t tell me she was going to Edensville!”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGwe8DPEKU
“Shut the hell up Lux!” I glared.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0u8z5hx24
“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!”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvivnXxJtv
“GO AWAY LUX!”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM2uqcn1U5
“And now you’re shouting at me!” He exasperated. “Good God woman! That is poor conduct and I-”953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvOuUpIeKN
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.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTX3Idbkby
“I don’t think better people just hang up on their friends without prior warning.” Crimson chuckled slightly at me.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrcGOWXEAi
“Fuck better right now, just kiss me!” I said before crashing my lips onto his and wrapping my arms around his neck.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyq8DM5ats
I am going to be a better person, but Crimson’s kisses will just help speed up that process right now!953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWbdnMylB8
