“Alex, what you said was wrong. That was really bad, no matter what happens, family comes first.” Alexia said as they got to his room. “I don't want to talk about it.”“You have to talk about it, why will you disrespect your family that way?”“So I should let them insult you?”“No, but you shouldn't have said all that.”“Shut up!” He suddenly yelled at her and she flinched.“Shut up, shut the hell up Alexia, I will do and say what I want.” He yelled and she flinched again.“Ugh.” He groaned and held his hair, he hit his head on the wall continuously till he burst into tears.“Alex.” Alexia called and moved towards him.“Don't come closer to me, don't touch me.” He cried and sat on the floor.“You guys are driving me crazy, I don't know what to do.” He cried and Alexia sighed.“Am sorry.” She muttered and moved closer to him, she slowly sat beside him and held his hand.“I don't care about all this Alexia, I don't want money, it is you I want. I just want to be with you.” He said and
THE NEXT DAY Alex walked down the stairs dressed in casual wear and Emily gave him a look.“It’s Monday if you don't know, why aren't you in your uniform?” Emily asked as she prepared for work.“I don't feel like going to school today.” He replied.“Why?”“Nothing. Is Charles still disturbing you?” He asked changing the topic.“Not really, he just apologized for blackmailing me and said he still loves me and I should give him a chance.”“Asshole.” Alex muttered and she chuckled.“Where is Alexia?” “She is still sleeping.” He replied and she nodded as she arranged some files into her bag.“Hmm, how are things going at the office?”“Rough but am trying to not make dad lose all of his investors.” “Can Miller actually buy all of dad’s companies?”“Well, yeah. Miller is the richest man in London, then dad and Charles's family is the third.” “Okay.” He replied and his mum walked down the stairs dressed like she was going for a hangout and Alex smiled.“Hey, guys.” She called.“Mum.” The
Alexia smiled happily as she ate her chocolates and Alex glared at her, she rolled her eyes at him and he sighed.“Can I have some?” He asked and she glared at him.“I thought you wanted me to throw it out.” She giggled.“No.” “Fine, you can have some.” She said and he smiled. They suddenly heard a car drive in and they both stood up and ran away from each other, Alex sat at the end of the couch while Alexia sat on another couch. Alex tried to hold his laughter as Alexia looked serious.“Stop laughing, you are crazy.” Alexia snapped at him and he bit his lip to stop him from laughing.Alex's father suddenly walked in and Alexia froze, he glared at her and she looked away immediately.“Dad.” Alex called and he turned to him.“What?”“I have agreed to get married go Piper.”“Really?” He asked and Alex nodded.“Well, that is great. At least you are starting to get responsible.” He said and Alex nodded again.He walked upstairs and Alex looked up and saw the security cameras.“I knew t
Alexia paced around the hallway feeling so worried, Mrs. McCall and Emily were also present. Piper also paced around trying to show how she cares. The doctors have been with him for hours, it is night already and still, they haven't heard anything from them. Piper bumped into Alexia intentionally as they paced around and Alexia sighed.“What?” She asked and Piper glared at her.“You bumped into me.” She said.“What the fuck?”“Can you guys really not start now?” Emily asked and Alexia sighed.“She started it Emily, she bumped into me.” Alexia said.“No, you bumped into me.”“You know, I have always respected and adored you because of your music, movies, and everything you do, you really seemed nice and amazing but now that I met you, you are just a piece of shit.” Alexia scoffed and Piper tried to hit her but Emily stood in their way and pushed them away from each other.“What is wrong with you guys? We are at a hospital, don't fight.” She said and Alexia sighed, she walked towards
“I told you this was a bad idea, Alexia.” “Will you shut the hell up and let me think? How was I supposed to know she would start acting like me?” Alex sighed and Alexia bit her lip as she thought of what to do.“Look, I couldn't come up with anything, no matter what, don't get attracted to her, always know that she is Piper Miller and she will always be that and not me.”“But she smells so much like you.” “Jeez Alex, don't be such a baby.” Alexia scoffed and pushed him towards the living room, she stood a bit far away from the living room and watched them.“Oh, you are back.” She giggled happily and stood up when she saw Alex.“Yeah.” Alex replied.“Was something wrong?”“No, it's nothing.” He replied and she nodded.“Why are you here by the way?”“Oh, I came to check up on you, you know you passed out yesterday so I didn't get some time to talk to you.”“What if I had gone to school?”“Then I would have left and come back in the evening but it seems am lucky.” “Well, thank you,
“Emily come on, am serious.” He said and moved closer to her but she moved back. “Get out Charles, it is your fault we are in this mess in the first place.” “I know and am so sorry.” “Get out.” “Emily, come on.” “I will get security to escort you out if you don't leave now, get out.” She yelled and he sighed before walking out of the office. ******* “Should we go for a drive?” Alex asked Alexia and she nodded, they both walked out of the house and entered the car. Alex drove out and Alexia turned to him. “Where should we go to?” Alex asked. “Don't ask me, you suggested the drive.” “How about we visit a therapist? I still have the address Emily sent me on my phone.” “Why do we need to visit a therapist? Am okay.” “No, you are not, if you don't want us to then we won't.” “I don't want to.” He replied and she rolled her eyes. “Just drive around till we probably get lost okay?” “I will drive to our school.” “No, don't do that. We have been skipping school because of atte
“Jeez Alex, will you stop crying like a baby?” Emily asked as Alex cried and hugged his mother tightly.“Just let him cry.” His mother said.“This is all my fault, it is my fault she is in this state.” He cried and his mother creased his hair.“It's okay Alex, it is not your fault.” “It is his fault, he was the one driving the car and didn't stop when he saw a red light.” Emily scoffed.“Really Emily?” Their mother asked and she rolled her eyes.“Yes mum, you shouldn't lie to him.” “She is right, don't lie to me.” He cried his mother wiped his tears. “Stop crying Alex, if you keep crying your head will start hurting again.” Emily said.“I want to see Alexia, I want to see her.” He cried and Emily sighed.“Well, can't he see her?” His mother asked Emily and she sighed.“Mum, Alexia looks so terrible right now, I couldn't last a minute in her ward when I went to see her, if he sees her now he could murder himself.” Emily said and he cried louder. The door to the ward suddenly opened
Alex walked into the restaurant and used his eyes to search around for Piper, he finally found her and he walked towards her.“Alex.” She called happily had stood up, she hugged him and he hugged her back. “You are late.”“Yeah, sorry. Something came up.” He replied and she nodded with a smile, he suddenly noticed something and he gave her a questioning look.“What? Is something on my face?” She asked.“No, you are not wearing makeup.” He said and she smiled.“Oh, you noticed.” She giggled like Alexia always does.“Yes, I did.”“Well, I decided to stop, don't I look pretty?”“Hmm, you are. You look beautiful.” He said and she blushed.The waiter brought their food and placed it on the table, he bowed and walked away. Alex stared at the food and sighed.“You don't like it?” Piper asked.“No, it's not that.”“Oh, I ordered it before you came, do you want to change it?”“No.” “Then what's wrong?”“Alexia likes pasta.”“Really? Me too, I love it!” She exclaimed and Alex smiled a little.
“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
