Chapter 17

 

I poke my head out behind my door and walk to the kitchen and grab some water before rushing to my room to type all of this stuff down.   
~~~~~~~~~~ 


*Alex*

I woke up feeling giddy. 

I jumped out of bed and rushed for the shower. 

I let the warm water flow over me, while I just stood there smiling like a fool. So many things rushed through my mind. 

After I stepped out of the shower and put a towel around my waist, I waltzed out of the bathroom and to my room. I knew no one else was awake. Who else gets up at 5:30?  

I changed into an off-white pinkish colored skinny jeans, light light blue almost crop top with a hood on it, and white vans. 

I brushed through my hair, then I started to blow dry it. Usually, when I blow dry my hair, it's less oily and more wavey. 

I brush it back into a cute messy bun. I packed my laptop, notebook, pencil, pen, laptop charger, and phone into my bag then walked out into the kitchen to grab a cold water bottle then I was out of the dorm! 

I was up early so I could talk to Thomas while he worked. As I walked towards the small cafe I found that the sky was cloudy. Not matching my mood. 

My happiness went out the window when I realize.... dark cloud= storm. 

I'm screwed. 

I brush it off. It's not storming now, and it could just rain. 

A smile makes its way back onto my face as I'm in sight o the cafe and I see Thomas busily making coffee, setting cookies, donuts, bagels and muffins up. 

I walk into the cozy cafe and smile widely. His head looks up at me and his once concentrated and frustrated face dissipates into a kind smile. 

"Hey, Thomas," I say as I basically skipping to a barstool. 
"Hey, Alexander. You're here early." 
"I woke up early." 
"Mhm, so your usual?" 
I nod and watch as he pours coffee into a mug and heats up a blueberry muffin. 

He places the coffee and muffing on a small plate and places them down on the counter in front of me. 

I dig through my bag and scratch up 8 dollars. 

"Here ya go!" I slide the 5 dollar bill and 3 ones over to him. 
"This is 4.50 extra?" 
"Tips!" 

He smiles before laughing a bit. 
"Okay then." 

Everything seems right. It's Sunday. I don't have classes. YAY! 

"You go, classes, today?" I ask. 
"Nope, you?" 
"Clear schedule." 


He nods his head a bit. Finishing his work he steps out from behind the counter and sits beside me. 

We sit in a comfortable silence before a bell rings. Thomas immdeiently stands up and take the person's order. 

As more people filter through, Thomas makes more coffee and replaces pastries. Soon enough the cafe is empty except us two. 

"I'm off in another hour, wanna go back to the lake?" 
"Sure, sounds great." 

I pull my laptop out and work on essays as Thomas works. 

Soon enough. 

He's done. 

"It might rain." Thomas points out. 
"So? I'll leave my stuff here. I'll hide it, so it won't get wet.But I'll bring my phone just in case." 
"Good plan." He pulls my bag away from me and runs inside to put it in the back room. 

We begin our walk to the Lake. 

When we get there I gasp. 

"It's beautiful." I breathe out. I know I've already seen it but, something beautiful stays beautiful. 

Its clouded in the sky and the water became this beautiful blue color. It has trees surrounding it and a slight mist looming over.

It created an eerie, mysterious yet breathtaking and peaceful. 

Ze Lake~



" How'd you find out about this place Thomas?" 
"I've been here before. When I first moved here for college. I went for a walk and found it." 
"We should come when it's dark out. I bet the star would look amazing reflected against the water." 

He hums in response. I run to the edge of the water and plop down. Thomas soon joins me. 

We sit and talk about random things. 

" Favorite song?"
"Mmm... Mercy." 
"Which one, I know 3." 
"Brett Young." 
"Oh.... country?" 
"Yeah!" We share a laugh before I return the question. 
"Your favorite song?" 
"It's country. "
"ANnnnddd...." 
"Simple, Florida Georgia Line." 
"Oh, I love that one!" 

"Color of your toothbrush?"  I ask. 
"Purple and white. Yours?"
"Light mint green and white." 


We continue on just asking random questions. 


"We should head back. It's getting more clouded."
"Yeah okay... but now?" 
"I mean, maybe not now...." 

We find ourselves sitting back on our hands and staring into each other's eyes. 

Thomas has beautiful brown hazel eyes. 

Every sound is blocked out. It's just us. Him....and..... me.....

Both of us are leaning in.... 

My eyes closed and soon enough our lips touch. 

It's so peaceful and quiet around us but sparks fly. 

But.... 

In my mind images flash through my mind. 

My mom 

My brother 

My cousin 

Even my murdered deadbeat dad. 


I pull away instantly. My eyes widen and I feel like I'm going into a panic mode. 



*Thomas* 

WE KISSED! OMGSH IM SO HAPPY!!! But- 

He pulls away. HIs eyes wide and glazed over like he's about to cry. He stumbles back and stares at me. 

"Alexander? Are you okay?" I stand up and rush to him but he jerks back. 

He put his hands on the side of his head. 

"No, no, no, no Thomas, you d-d-dont want to be around me. I-I'm no good." 
"NO! You are perfect! I do want to be around you. I want to be with you." I feel like I'm begging. What is happening? 

"You don't understand. Everyone, e-everyone who I-I've ever loved has l-left me. Died to get away! You don't want to be a part of that. Please, Thomas." 

What is he asking of me!? To stop loving him!? To stop caring? To leave him alone? That's impossible. 

"Alexander Hamilton! No one died to get away from you... please take a deep breath, calm down."

He takes a breath but still doesn't seem to calm down. It seems like he's having a panic attack. 

"Hey, Alexander, hey, breath, can I touch you?" He stares at me with his wide panicky eyes and slowly nods. 

I gently grab his hands. 

"Alright, now look me in the eyes. Breath in....good... Breath out..." 
We go on like this for a few moments before he curls in a ball against me. 

I hug him and rub his back. 

"Are you okay Alexander?" He nods and looks up at me. 
"Thank you..." I smile. He seems to relax.

"What happened?" 
"I don't know. When we uh kissed, images of my dead family rushed through my mind. I freaked. They all cared about me, and you do to but I don't want you to end up like them." His face wavers towards the end. 

"Hey, it's okay. I'm here. I'm not going to leave you ever." 

We sit in this position for what seems like hours. I feel ALexanders breathing slow. He must be asleep.

His phones dings and I grab it. 

We have been here for 3 hours. 

LaffyTaffy- Alex where are you!? We are worried. 

I think before replying. 

NonStop!- Don't worry, I'm with Thomas. Just hanging out. We'll head back now.

I pick Alexander up bridal style and carry him back to campus. 

He woke up halfway through the walk back. 

"Mmm, Thomas?" I look down.
"Hey." 
"I like you.." He mumbles. I smile and feel a light blush creep onto my face. 
"I like you too." He smiles and cuddles against me more, nuzzling his face against my chest. 
"Why'd we leave?" 
"Laf texted." 
"Oh..." I hear gentle breathing and look down to see that he's once again asleep.  

*Time skip* 

I set him down on one of the booths and quickly check Alex's phone. 

LaffyTaffy- Where are you now?
NonStop!- Cafe. Be quiet when you come tho. 
LaffyTaffy- Alex? Is that you? You never text 'tho'?

Shoot. 

NonStop!- It's Thomas. 
LaffyTaffy- What did you do to Alex!?
NonStop- Relax, he just fell asleep
LaffyTaffy- We'll be there soon. 

I sigh and sit down next to Alex. He shifts and puts his head on my lap. I smile.t
I start absentmindedly playing with his hair. 

It's soft. Wow. 

Soon the squad shows up. 

"ooooooooooooo! Thomas and Lex hooked up!" Peggy whisper yell. 
"NO!" I whisper-yell back. 
"So, you just told him you liked him?" Herc asks. 
I blush deeply and nod.

Everyone aww's and whatnot. 

I told them to get themselves some coffee and leave. They did. I was left alone with Alexander. 

The cafe was closed since it was a Sunday. We only do a morning shift and then it closes. 

So I sat here with a sleeping Alexander for a while. It was peaceful and quiet. 

It started to rain lightly but soon went away. 
 
Then the sky cleared up.

"Mmmmm, Thomas." Alexander made grabby hands towards me. I giggle and shift our positions. 

Now he was sitting up on my lap and leaning against me while his legs stuck out on the booth. 


I smile. 

If only it could stay this way forever.
