Alex walked into his room and met Alexia on his bed, seems she is asleep already. He walked to the bed and covered her properly with the duvet cover. He sat beside her and stroked her hair, she suddenly opened her eyes and he withdrew his hand.“Am sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up, I was just... ““Alex.” She called and sat up, he sighed seeing how pale she looks.“You should get some sleep.” “Alex.”“What?”“Emily is mad at me, the way you are being clingy to me is annoying her, I mean they are your family too and you should be with them, not just me all the time.”“Don't worry, Emily won't bother you again, you should sleep, you have been up all night watching me.”“Emily and your mom have also been up all night watching you, if it was me I will also get annoyed with the way you keep being clingy to me, it is not fair to then Alex.” She said and he pulled the band on his hand. He pulled it repeatedly and Alexia held his hand as he was about to pull it again.“Am sorry.” She said
They got upstairs and Alexia was about to head to her room but he pulled her back.“What?” She asked and he frowned.“You promised me you would sleep in my room tonight.” “Oh, yeah. That is not wrong but I really need to take a shower and change to a comfortable wear.”“You can do that in my room and you will wear my clothes.”“What?” “Come on, I really don't like sleeping alone.” He whined and pouted like a baby, she sighed and walked into his room. He giggled happily and closed the door.“So, you can use my bathroom.”“I need a toothbrush, so I still have to go to my room.”“No, hold on. You can use mine.”“What? No freaking way.” She said and he laughed.“I was just joking, I have an extra one in the bathroom.”“Ugh.” Alexia groaned and walked into the bathroom.********She was done and she got dressed in his clothes, she laughed seeing how huge it looks on her.“You look so cute.” Alex said and she rolled her eyes at him, she lay on the bed and he joined her immediately. He mo
“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
“You need her? Just because of a press conference?” Allison asked and he ignored her, he head back to class and she followed him. “I will head to my class now.” Allison said when she got to the front of her class and he nodded, she walked in and he sighed.“Stupid press conference.” He muttered and walked into his class, he sat on his new seat and kept staring at the paper. He looked at Alexia and she was not paying attention to him but to her book. He sighed and ruffled his hair.**********The school was finally over and Alex stood up with his new friends, they all walked out and said their goodbyes to each other when they got to the parking lot. Alex leaned on the car as he waited for Alexia. She finally came out and she walked to the car.“What took you so long?” He asked and she shook her head, she entered the car and he joined her.“Hmm, we are heading to this company.” Alex said showing the driver the company.“Oh, I know the company.” The driver replied and he smiled. He sta
The door suddenly opened and a man walked in.“How did you get in here?” The man asked.“Nevermind, she is with me.” “Okay sir, you have five minutes to go, get ready.” The man said and Alex smiled.“Sure, I am so ready.” He giggled and the man bowed before walking out. “Alexia, am freaking out!” Alex suddenly yelled in her ear and she fell in fear.“Jeez, don't kill me.” She gasped and he pulled her up.“Am sorry but am freaking out.” “Alex, it's not hard, just get all of this into your head.” She said and he nodded, he stared at the paper and Alexia smiled.“It's not working.” He yelled and Alexia flinched.“Fuck Alex, it's a fucking dumb page, a page Alex!” Alexia screamed and he groaned.“You keep shouting it's just a page and you gave me a lot of papers.” He yelled back at her and she sighed.“Give them to me.” Alexia ordered and he stretched the papers to her. She collected it and stared at it.“Okay, ignore all this.” She said and threw the papers away except a page.“All I
Mr. McCall scoffed as he watched his son's press conference, he shook his head and Jessica sighed.“Just take a look at him, he is such a disgrace to this family, why isn't he saying anything?” Mr. McCall yelled.“Stop it, Charlie he is just nervous, Alex hates facing the crowd. I thought Alexia will be with him to help him feel better.” Jessica said.“So he now depends on her?” He scoffed and watched it.“Yes, am ready.” They heard Alex say and his mother smiled happily.“Look, Alexia is there already.” Mrs. McCall said happily and her husband rolled his eyes.*********Alexia smiled as she walked backstage after the press conference, she saw Alex and he smiled at seeing her.“I did great right?” He asked happily.“Well, somehow.”“How?” He asked with a frown.“At first you were mute then Emily called me..... ”“I was waiting for you to show up.” He cut her off and she sighed.“Really Alex? What happened to you doing things on your own?” Alexia asked and rolled her eyes.“Don't insul
Alex breathed heavily as he held Alexia, she stared at him in tears and he groaned, each time he tries to hit her he ends up punching the wall and that seems to make him madder. “Cant you guys do something?” Emily yelled at the guards and they moved towards Alex, they pulled him from Alexia and he glared at them, they became scared and let go of him immediately, he walked back to Alexia and pinned her to the wall. Alexia screamed in tears again and he tried hitting her but still punched the wall. “Alex, am sorry.” She cried.“Ugh, you guys are fools.” Emily yelled at the guards, she picked up the teaser and used it on him, he groaned in pain and let go of her. He cried on the floor and hugged himself, his mother suddenly felt useless as she watched her son cry in pain. She slowly walked toward him and Emily stopped her.“Mum, what are you doing? Don't make him mad again.” Emily said and she sighed. She slowly bent beside him and hugged him, he hugged her back immediately and crie
Alexia sighed as she watched Alex on the bed, the doctor called Emily earlier so she left the ward leaving Alexia and Mrs. McCall in the ward.Alexia yawned and Mrs. McCall turned to her.“Alexia.” She called.“Yes ma’am?”“Should I tell someone to take you home so you can have some rest, you haven't eaten all day and it's in the middle of the night, you should be sleeping.”“Oh, it's fine Mrs. McCall, I will wait till Alex wakes up so he won't get mad if he doesn't see me.”“Okay.” Emily suddenly walked in looking angry and she glared at Alexia.“What did the doctor say, Emily?” Mrs. McCall asked.“He said according to the test they carried out, they discovered that Alex has been taking lamotrigine.”“What is lamotrigine?” Mrs. McCall asked.“Lamotrigine is a pill that can cause people to be agitated, irritable, or other abnormal behaviors,” Alexia explained.“Good thing you know, he has been taking it. Care to explain?” Emily asked glaring at her.“Why are you glaring at me? I don
“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
