THE NEXT DAY Alexia made sure Alex was calm and in a good mood before bringing up the conversation about his sister.They both had breakfast and Alex grabbed his books, he walked to Alexia with a smile and placed them in front of her.“Let us start today's lesson.” He said with a smile and she sighed. He gave her a questioning look and she held both his hands.“What’s wrong? Are you okay? He asked and she smiled.“Can I talk to you about something?” She asked and creased his hand.“Of course.” “Okay, don't get mad okay?”“You are holding my hand already, just pull the band when I'm mad.” Alexia smiled and he smiled back.“It is about your sister.” “Who?” He asked like he didn't know and Alexia hit his head.“Don't play dumb with me, you know who I am talking about.”“You didn't have to hit me so hard.” He said with a frown and she laughed.“Alex.”“Yeah?”“Emily is here already, Emily is here for you, the Emily you have always wanted to meet is here, why don't you want to see her?
Alexia sighed repeatedly inside the car and Alex held her hand.“What is it?” He asked and she shook her head. “Hmm, can I at least stop by at my friend's place? They will be so worried if they don't see me.” Alexia said and Emily nodded. Emily described the way to them and in minutes they were there. She walked out of the car and met her friends on their porch. “Oh, Alexia we were just about to come and get you and Alex, we have planned a lot of activities for today.” Chloe said happily and she sighed.“Guys, am going to London.”“How?” They chorused and she pointed at the car.“Is that not the car that almost hit you yesterday?” Nicki asked.“Yeah, turns out that girl that drove the car is Alex's sister and she is taking him back home and he wants me to come along.”“So you are leaving?” Chloe asked.“Yeah, what's the point of staying anyway? I have no parents and there is no way I can earn a living in this place, it's better to go to London and start a new life.”“Oh, it's fine.
“A... A... Alex?” Mrs. McCall stammered and Emily nodded with a smile.“I found him in New Jersey with this girl, Alexia.” She said and Mrs. McCall slowly walked to Alex. She was about to touch him and he moved behind Alexia immediately.Tears rushed to Mrs. McCall's eyes as she gasped.“Alex, it's me. Your mother, remember?” She said in tears.“Hmm, mum. He doesn't remember anyone except me.” Emily said with a smile. Mrs. McCall was about to touch him again and he moved back with Alexia.“Oh, he only trusts her and likes her because she helped him out of the mansion dad kept him for over ten years so it will take a while before he warms up to you.” “Thank you so much, thank you.” Mrs. McCall cried and hugged Alexia tightly, Alex hurriedly pulled Alexia from her and checked if she was hurt.“Am fine Alex, she is just hugging me.” Alexia said and smiled at him.“Don't touch them okay? And don't let them touch you, they sent me away.” Alex said and Alexia nodded in agreement so he won
“So Alexia, how did you find Alex exactly?” Mrs. McCall asked and she looked at Alex before turning to her.“Hmm, in our town we have always heard rumors about the mansion so I and my friends decided to check it out but they abandoned me when they heard a strange sound, I walked in and met him there.” She explained.“So you invaded his mansion? That is illegal.” Mr. McCall said and Emily scoffed.“When you found him, was he upset?” Emily asked.“He was actually mad at me but he fainted when he yelled at me. I saw that he looked so pale and skinny probably because he wasn't eating so I left and went there the next day with some food.”“You really went back after that?” Mrs. McCall asked and she nodded with a smile.“So what happened next?” Emily asked eagerly.“Hmm, I realized he didn't know anything, not even where he was or what the sun was so I started teaching him some things. He didn't know how to bathe or brush his teeth, I bought him clothes and food and then taught him differen
Alexia and Alex walked to the dining room and sat down, the female maids stared at Alex as they dished their meal and Alexia sighed.“They are staring at me.” Alex said with a smile and the maids blushed.“Really?” She asked Alex with a frown and he smiled.“Do you want to touch me?” He asked the maid beside them with a smile and Alexia gasped.“Yes sir.” The maid replied and he stretched his hand towards her, Alexia hurriedly hold his hand and glared hard at him.“What?” Alex asked.“You don't like people touching you.”“Really?”“Yes, so don't touch her.” “You don't want me to right? Just admit it.” “Okay, yes. I don't want you to.”“Awwwwn, let's eat.” He said and tucked her hair behind her ear. She frowned as they started eating. After they had breakfast, the maids cleared the table and they stood up. Mrs. McCall suddenly showed up and she became nervous as she stared at Alex.“Hmmm, do you guys need anything?” She asked nervously.“No, thank you ma’am.” “Okay.” She said with
“Is something wrong?” The teacher asked and Alexia glared at Alex, he let go of the boy and she smiled at the teacher.“Nothing is wrong sir.” Alexia replied and he nodded, he continued with the teaching and she gave the boy a sorry look.***********It was finally lunch break and the students stood up, Alexia waited for every student to leave the class before she stood up and glared at Alex.“What?” He asked and she sighed.“Really? Why did you act that way?”“Are you really asking me that? He was flirting with you.” “Flirting? So you understand the word flirting and you don't know what a model is?” “There are two different words and one is more complicated than the other.”“Whatever, don't lose your temper like that again.”“I won't.” He said with a smile.“Good.”“As long as no guy touches you, flirts with you, or passes stupid notes to you.” He added and Alexia groaned.“We are in high school Alex, high school. A lot of guys will touch me, flirt with me or pass stupid notes to m
They got to the parking lot and met the driver waiting for them already. They both entered and Alexia sighed, she turned away from him and he sighed sadly.“Alexia.” He called as the car started moving.“What?” She replied without turning to him.“Are you mad at me?” He asked and she ignored him.“Alexia... ““Not now Alex.” She replied and he sighed sadly. They didn't say a word to each other till they got home, the car stopped in the mansion and they both walked out. Alexia walked in angrily and he ran after her.“Alexia.” He called as she rushed inside.“Alexia wait.” He said and held her hand as she entered the living room.“What?” She yelled at him and he flinched.“I don't understand what is wrong with you, why are you mad at me? Did I do something wrong?”“Yes Alex, you did something wrong.” She said and Jessica watched them, she was in the living room before they walked in but they didn't seem to notice her.“What did I do?”“Alex, you beat up someone, on your first day at sc
“Why is he mad at you?” Emily asked again when Alexia didn't give her a response.“It’s nothing and we will settle it soon.” Alexia replied with a smile.“What is his schedule for today?” “Oh, has a modeling shoot with a company, the address and details are with him and he also has a press conference about where he has been all these years, and make sure he doesn't say anything about being abandoned.”“Why?” “It will ruin his image.” “Okay, thanks.”“And, I am really sorry about how I reacted to you yesterday, I was just angry and jealous he is giving you all the... ““It’s fine, I understand.” Alexia cut her off and she nodded. Alexia walked out and joined Alex in the car. The car drove out of the mansion and Alexia turned to him.“Can I see the schedule?” She asked.“No.” He replied without looking at her and she sighed.“Are you really mad at me over what happened yesterday? I was just joking.” She said and he ignored her, she sighed and tried taking the schedule from him but h
“I think we should tell mum and dad,” Lexia said as they were about to get home.“Whatever, can you guys drop me off here?” Lexi asked.“No, you are coming home with us. Mum and Ashley are so desperate to see you.” Austin said and Lexi sighed.They got home and they all walked out of the car, they walked into the house together and met only Ashley in the living room.“Lexi!” She screamed and rushed to him, Lexi chuckled and carried her, she wrapped her tiny hands around his neck and hugged him tightly.“Hey, how are you?” He asked and she sniffed.“I missed you so much, am sorry I caused... ““It is fine.” He cut her off and she giggled happily.“Ashley, where are mum and dad?” “They went out minutes ago, they said they had an emergency and I should tell you guys to not leave the house again till they get back.” “Why?” Austin asked and she frowned at him.“As I said, they had an emergency.” She scoffed had Anita laughed at Austin.“You were so dumb to understand her.” She laughed an
“But she is so pretty.” Austin groaned and they glared at him.“Hey, Anita. How about we trail her home today after school?” Lexia asked.“Am in,” Anita said.“That seems dangerous,” Austin said and they glared at him.“I will go with them.” Lexi said and they turned to him surprised.“Really?” They chorused and he nodded.“Great, you are going with us.” “What about me?” Austin asked.“You are good with girls so make her fall in love with you.” Anita said.“It is not that easy, I have to first fix my hair and my shirt and... ““Austin, we don't care about the process okay? Just get the girl.” Lexia cut him off and Anita chuckled. They heard the school bell ring and they all head to their classes. After Sharon returned to class, Austin kept talking to her and she enjoyed his company, she noticed it was kind of weird though but she remembered her mother telling her Austin is a flirt so she decided to play along. The school was finally over on that day and Austin escorted her out of t
“Oh,” Sapphire muttered and sighed.“I think I should leave now.” “You should.”“You don't have to be mean about it.”“You don't have to act like you care.” “Really?” She asked and he shrugged.“The McCalls, always a jerk.” She scoffed and stood up.“Excuse me?” Lexi asked and she rolled her eyes.“All I am trying to do is to do is to be friendly, and you keep making a big deal out of it.” “I never asked for your friendship.” He shrugged and Sapphire sighed, she walked out of the house angrily and Lexi sighed.*********Lexi heard the sound of the doorbell and rolled his eyes knowing it was Austin, he walked to the door and opened it and he was surprised to see his sisters and Austin.“Lexi,” Anita called happily and hugged him.“Of course, Austin has a fat mouth.” Lexi scoffed and pulled away from the hug.“Hey, I didn't know when I let the cat out of the bag.”They walked in and Lexia closed the door.“Does mum know you guys are here?” Lexi asked and Austin shook his head.“So, w
Lexi sat happily in the house and went through his phone, he sang along to the song he played on his phone and sighed in relief.He increased the volume of the music and danced around happily, he sang along and dance in the living room.“Really Lexi? Really?” He heard a voice behind him and he turned to see Austin.“What the fuck?” He asked and Austin sat on the couch, Lexi turned off the music and Austin smiled at him.“How the hell did you know I was here?”“Well, I just knew this morning. I kind of thought about it and I realized that dad wouldn't want to take you too far, after trailing you guys and I lost you I knew you could be in any of dad and mum’s houses so I started checking and found out it's the one close to the house.”“Whatever, don't just tell anyone.”“So when are you coming back home?”“Next week.”“Look man, am sorry for always acting like a jerk towards you, I know I keep apologizing and I keep fucking up, am sorry about that. I... ““It's fine.” Lexi cut him off a
“Alex, get him to stop, you can't take him away, Lexi doesn't even talk to us when we are living together not to talk of him living alone.” Alexia said and tears rushed to her eyes.“Dad come on, we are sorry.” Austin said.“Daddy, don't take Lexi away, I don't hate him like Anita and others do.” Ashley added and sniffed.“You are not helping Ashley.” Lexia said.“Alex, we both know if he leaves this house, he might never come back, please don't let him go.” Alexia cried and Alex sighed.“He is not going permanently, he will be back, all I want you guys to see is how your lives will be without Lexi, till then, he is staying away.” Alex said and walked out of the house. Lexi saw his father walking out and he sighed.“Get into the car.” He ordered and Lexi did. Alex drove out of the mansion and drove around the city for a while.“Dad, where are we going exactly?” He asked and Alex chuckled.“Am taking you to a house close to ours but Austin has been following us, that is why am drivin
Lexi walked down the stairs after a while and sighed when he saw Ashley sleeping on the couch with a bandage wrapped around her hand. His family was in the living room except for his father who wasn't back yet.“Is... Is she okay?” He asked and none of them gave him a response.“I didn't cut her.” He said but he got no response.Ashley slowly opened her eyes and her mother rushed to her.“Hey baby, are you okay?” She asked and Lexia helped her up.“Mummy, Lexi didn't cut me with the knife, I did by accident and it was because I was playing with the knife when I found it in his bag, I heard you guys yelling at him before I fell asleep, he did nothing wrong.” Ashley explained and they all became speechless. They turned to him and he sighed. “One of the reasons why I don't talk to you guys and I don't think I ever will.” He said and walked out of the house.“Oh, God.” Alexia muttered and ran her hands through her hair.“Why didn't you say something earlier?” Anita yelled at Ashley.“Th
Lexi walked into the house and Ashley ran to him happily.“Lexi.” She called and hugged his legs, he slowly bent to her level and he stroked her hair.“How are you?”“Am fine, Lexi.”“Okay, is it just me that an seeing this? Lexi and Ashley are getting along.” Anita said as she ate her chips.“Yes, Ashley is having a conversation with Lexi,” Austin added.“I thought he is scared to touch Ashley.” Lexia added.Ashley suddenly turned to them and giggled before opening her mouth to talk.“That is because, this morning, I was crying and Lexi hugged me... “ She trailed off as Lexi hurriedly covered her mouth with his palm.“Our little secret, remember?” He muttered and she nodded, he let go of her and she smiled.“He said I shouldn't tell anyone because it's our little secret.”She hurriedly said before Lexi could stop her again and he sighed.“Hold on, what you are trying to say is that, you had an actual conversation with Lexi?” Lexia asked.“Yes, she did because I saw it.” Alexia said wa
Sharon took in a deep breath and ran after him, she stood in front of him and he sighed.“Sorry Lexi, I am just trying to be friendly.” She said and he ignored her, he was about to walk away when she stood in front of him again.“Stay away from me!” He snapped and pushed her roughly, she fell and groaned in pain, Lexi walked away and she hissed in pain. “Such a jerk.” She scoffed and stood up, she adjusted her uniform and sighed.“Okay, let's do this the hard way.” She muttered and walked back to the cafeteria.*******The school was finally over for the day and Lexi walked to his car, his brother and sister rushed to him as he was about to enter and he gave them a questioning look.“Oh my God, mum allowed you to drive her car!” Anita yelled and he nodded.“I have always wanted to drive it but she wouldn't give me, the car is fucking dope, can I drive it, Lexi?” Austin asked.“What about the one we brought?” “Lexi will drive it, please Lexi,” Austin begged and he nodded, he gave the
HOURS LATERIt was late already and they all kept waiting for Lexi, his mother was starting to get worried but Alex kept assuring her that he will be fine. The door suddenly opened and Lexi froze on seeing them. “Oh, sorry I came late, I will go get my bags now.” Lexi said.“Yes, go get them, I will be waiting for you.” Alex said and he nodded, he walked upstairs and Anita turned to her father.“Daddy am sorry, I didn't mean what I said, I don't want him to go.” Anita said and Alex ignored her.“Dad, come on. We are sorry.” Austin said and Lexi walked down the stairs with his bags.“Alex, come on. You can actually stop him from going.” Alexia said and Alex sighed.“You all have to learn to tolerate him, if he doesn't want to talk to you then let him be, do you know how hard it is for him to control himself every time? I threw your mother across the room when I first met her, I do hit your mother, he has never hit Anita or Ashley or Lexia, he only cut you because he was annoyed and he
