Time is up
I wake up with a snoring Peggy on my lap and the egg smell of Hercules's breath. I slowly get up from the bed and see that Alex is spread out on the floor knocked out with Laf in his wheelchair asleep.
I'm usually the last to wake up so I use my time wisely and take a shower before everyone else.
After a hot shower and clean clothes I make myself some Lucky Charms. When digging into the bowl of cereal for marshmallows, I get a text. I look up and get nervous.
Meet me in 20.
Francis.
Shitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshit!!!
I stare at the phone for a moment, deciding if I should go. My time is running out. Who knows, maybe this is the last day I will see Alexander.
I quickly finish my cereal and walked to Francis house, hoping Alexander wouldn't be worried about my sudden disappearance. I look at the bricked two story house that was full of terrible memories. I shivered at the thought of that terrible night in the basement and that crazy present Francis gave me that one day.
I knock on the door and out came the devil himself. He pulls me inside and connects his lips with mine. The smell of cigarettes and beer suffocated the air around me. I wanted to pull away, I wanted to run back to Alexander. Instead, I stood there letting his tongue explore mine so I won't displeased him. The kiss became deeper as I squirmed in his embrace. Francis finally stops and looks around confused. " Where's your clothes baby? You're time is up." He says slowly.
" I-I didn't know the time was up Francis. Let me go get th-"
" Eh whatever. I'll buy you more clothes later."
I actually wanted to go back to Alexander and say our goodbyes. " Actually..." I started. " I never got the chance to say goodbye to Alexander." I confessed. Hot tears started coming down my eyes. God I love Alex so much but now I probably won't see him again.
I expected Francis to be mad or annoyed at least. " It's ok sweetheart. Come back in a few hours with your stuff ok?" He tilts my head up to make me face him. I nodded and walked out the door. I was suddenly hit with fresh air. As I walked back to Alexander, I was figuring out what I would say.
Should I tell him where I'm going? No! You don't want him to get hurt!
I didn't realize that was already in the living with Alex, Peggy, Laf, and Hercules staring at me.
" John!" Peggy yells running into me for a hug.
" Mon ami! Where have you been!"
Tell him to truth.! TELL HIM THE TRUTH
" I was out." I say a little to harshly. Laf seems taken back and started getting angry. I knew how Lafayette acted when angry so I bolted through everyone and went straight to the bedroom my siblings were still sleeping in. Martha was the first to wake up when I opened the door. " Hurry up and get dress, we're leaving." I say. Martha looked at me confused and Henry started to wake up. I walked out the door before hearing any of Martha's questions. Alexander was running out the stairs and saw me get my suitcase.
" John, what's going on. What's all this?" He says referring to my clothes I was laying out.
I ignored him. Talking to him will just hurt even more. " John." He says more sternly. I continue to take the clothes out the dresser and putting them in my suitcase and ignore his voice that is eating me up inside. " John!"
" Alex shut up!"
" Shut up? No! I want to know what the hell is going on here!"
I can't do this!!
That's right John! Be mad at him so you can have a reason to leave! Make him angry.
" It's none of your damn business." I mumble. Alex seemed to heard me and his face went red.
" John. I don't want to argue."
" Argue? All you ever do is argue!"
Well that's a lie.
" When do I argue? I never argue!" Alex fires back. " All I do is give you what you want, you never see what I want! You're just a selfish-" he stops before he says another word.
Why am I actually getting angry? Why is this pointless argument getting to me? " I'm a selfish what! Say it to my face big man!! You act soo manly and seem to know everything, tell me what you were going to say!"
That's right John, push him over the edge. " Selfish what?! You seem to know who I am so tell-"
" A selfish brat!" He yells. I keep a straight face trying to look unbothered but on the inside I'm sobbing. I continue to pack my things while Alex just stares at me. " John just don't-"
" Leave?! I'm leaving Alex! You seem to not like a selfish brat don't you? Since you see me that way, you're a bitch!"
Alex face soften and I immediately regret it but then it turns with rage. " You never loved me." He says coldly. " You never loved me! You don't realize how much I did for you don't you?! I helped get your siblings out of that damn house and gave all of you a place a stay!"
" Well I could of did it without out since it's obvious you didn't want to help me!" The tears I tried to hold in started to come down.
" Bullshit! I saved you from your ex! I broke up with someone before a dance for you! I comforted you when Lafayette was in the hospital but you did nothing for me!"
I am doing something for you! I'm saving your life!!! Please don't be mad at me!
Finish him John.
" Since you see me that way...maybe I never did love you! Maybe you are just to oblivious to see that I'm doing something for you! I'm sick of this!"
I don't mean that!! I always loved him!
" You know what?! I'm done! We're done! Get out my house!"
.....don't show him how weak you are!!
" F-Fine! We're done! Don't come back looking for me!!"
Then I zipped up my suitcase and went downstairs to see my siblings on the couch sleeping all dressed up. I woke up Martha and Henry while I took Mary.
We were suddenly on the street and I couldn't hold it in. I dropped the suitcase on the ground and cried hard.
This is all my fault. Martha and Henry went to my side and hugged me close.
Me and Alexander and officially done.
IM SORRRY!!!!!!!!!! IM SORRRRY IM SOORRRRY!! Don't worry! Things will get better....I hope.
( also I didn't edit it so there are probably some mistakes in there )
