Chapter Eight

Wow! My last chapter ended with 3086 words! :O That would have to be my most longest chapter ever! Usually my chapters have two thousand something words in it :/ anyways lets get on with the story.

Eliza's POV:
Eliza laid in her bed and scrolled through Twitter. It was five in the morning but she thought it was six in the morning. Oops... Eliza heard shuffling coming from her sister Angelica. Their room was pretty cool. Angelica was turning around on her bed. Angelica's bed was the highest out of all of them. Eliza's was in the middle and Peggy's was down low. They were all on different sides of the room. Where their beds were that would be where all their stuff was. Angelica's side of the room had a light pinky red colour painted on the walls. Eliza's side was a pastel green and Peggy's was a pastel yellow. Angelica got up from her bed and looked at Eliza. "Why are you up?" Angelica said and checked her phone clock, "It's five thirty-seven in the morning Eliza." She said. Eliza then checked her clock on her phone. Five thirty-seven. "I thought it was six! I'm going to be tired today!" Eliza said with a touch of anger. "Hey, at least we have more time to get ready now for the wedding!" They heard Peggy say. The two sisters looked down at Peggy who was sitting on her bed and looked at both of them. "I totally forgot the wedding was today!" Angelica said, "Me too.." Eliza said. Peggy giggled, "How could you forget about Uncle Jones's wedding today?" Both Eliza and Angelica shrugged and got off their beds. "How long have you been up Peggy?" Eliza asked her sister, "Four fifty-six" She said with a yawn. "Ew. Why did we all wake up early?" Angelica said. Peggy and Eliza shrugged. "I'm going to the bathroom." Said Peggy and she opened the door to their room and left. After two minuets they heard Peggy scream. Eliza and Angelica shot up and went quickly to the bathroom where Peggy was. They opened the door to see Peggy on the toilet looking pretty scared and was looking at her underwear. "There's blood on my underwear! I have Ebola!" She said. Angelica laughed a little, "I'm pretty sure if you had Ebola you would be throwing up blood or something like that. I'm sure you just got your period Peggy." Angelica said. Peggy sighed, "Oh. Wait! I got my period on Uncle Jones's wedding! This is going to ruin everything! I'm supposed to be flower girl!" Peggy said and frowned. Eliza rolled her eyes, "Peggy it's not going to ruin anything. The only bad thing that could happen would be staining your dress with blood." "That doesn't help Eliza." Peggy said. Peggy was a little younger than Eliza and Angelica. Peggy turned eleven not to long ago and both Eliza and Angelica were twelve. Angelica and Eliza were twins. (In this story they are :3) Peggy didn't really grasp on the idea of girls having periods and didn't understand it that much.

They reached the place where the wedding was. This wedding was an inside wedding since it had rained. "You can do it Peggy! You'll be the best flower girl anyone has seen!" Angelica said and pushed Peggy towards the door. "Are you sure Angie?" Peggy said. Angelica nodded her head. The wedding music started to play. "C'mon Peggy! That's your cue!" Eliza said and opened the door for Peggy. Peggy walked out and grabbed a handful of petals and threw them in the air. She then skipped along and was throwing flower petals. The bride came out with her pastel purple wedding dress. This wedding theme was pastel. The Schuyler sisters wore their pastel dresses. Angelica had her pastel pink dress with a pastel flower crown. Eliza had the same but hers was pastel green and Peggy's was a pastel yellow. When the time came Eliza and Angelica walked out holding the rings for the couple. Never in their life have they seen two people walk the rings over. Eliza spaced out for a little when they gave them the rings. All she heard was, "You may now kiss the bride!" And saw the two kiss. Eliza scanned the people who were sitting down. She then spotted Maria. What's Maria doing here? I didn't know she was apart of one of these families! Wait... Crap! Eliza thought. Eliza has a crush on Maria. And now that she's here she might be apart of the bride's family or something! Oh god I have a crush on my cousin! Wait would she be my cousin? Never mind. I have a flipping crush on her! She thought. Everyone was now talking to each other and people were dancing. Eliza decided to walk over to Maria. "Hey Maria! What are you doing here?" Eliza asked. Maria turned around, "Oh, hey Eliza. I was invited here with the rest of my family. Duh." Maria replied. "Are you apart of Allie's family?" Eliza asked. Maria shook her head, "No. My family is really great friends with her. She used to live with us until she moved in with Jones." Maria told her. Eliza sighed in relief. Thank god she wasn't apart of Allie's family. As you can tell Eliza likes girls but she also likes boys, which makes her bisexual.

John's POV:
John woke up. He was now laying on his back with his arms still around Alex. Alex was laying kind've on top of him. John blushed. Alex looked so cute right now, well anytime actually. Oh god. I'm thinking I have a crush on Alex.... What if he's not gay or bi or something like that! Maybe I'll ask him... John thought. John stayed there for a few minuets, not wanting to disturb Alex from his slumber. John got cold a little after. John couldn't find a blanket and Alex was in the only one, so John decided to snuggle up beside Alex so he did. He stayed there for a few more minutes until Alex woke up. "Hey Alex. Did you have a good sleep?" John asked in a soft like voice. Alex turned his head towards John, "Yeah. Did you?" He replied. John nodded, "But you were laying on me though." He said with a laugh. Alex had a light blush spread across his cheeks, "Oh, sorry." He said, "It's okay." John replied. The boys got up and sat on the bed. John grabbed his turtle sweater and put it on. "Hey Alex, can I ask you something? You don't have to answer though if it's a bit to personal." John asked, "Mhm." Alex replied with a hum. "Why are you scared of thunderstorms? I mean I know a lot of people who don't like storms, but you were muttering things for some reason and I don't know why, so I thought it might be for a reason?" John said. Alex hesitated for a moment then answered. "Well when I was a bit younger a hurricane came and it killed everyone except for me and my mom. But now my mom died due to a sickness that nobody knows about. I miss my brother James. He was a great big brother. My mother worked very hard for both of us. She wouldn't come home until late at night. Sometimes I would stay up until mom got home so I could see her. My dad left us because.. Well I don't know, but I think I have one reason why he left. Well he hated everyone that was in the LGBTQ+ group and umm, well I am.." Alex paused for a moment and looked at John, "I'm bisexual and it was pretty noticeable back then. And I guess he didn't want a bisexual son so he left for probably that and other reasons.." Alexander then realized he had told
John pretty much his whole life. Alex would never do that but Alex felt, safe. Alex sat there for a second until John hugged him. Alex wrapped his arms around John, "It's okay that you're bi. You already know that I'm gay. And I'm really sorry about what happened to you." John said to him, "Thanks.." Alex replied. Alex didn't know why he felt safe around John. John was a good friend. He was nice, funny, and cute.. Shit. I called him cute in my mind. Well he is. His freckles remind me of stars and he draws really good, I think I have a crush on him.. Alex thought to himself. They stopped hugging and just stayed there. John soon went onto his phone and Alex went into his iPad. "Hey Alex, do you have iMessage on there?" John asked him, "Yeah I do." Alex replied. John then took his iPad and added his contact on there. "Congratulations, I'm your first contact. You can name me whatever you want. You can text me whenever you want." John said and smiled while giving Alex it back. "Kay." Alex replied and went to name him. Hmm.. Oh, this one would be great! Alex put John's name in as 'Tiny freckled Turtle' he turned to John, "Do you like this name?" Alex said and showed John the name he gave him, " I love it! Here, I'll give you Laf's, Herc's, Eliza's, Angelica's, and Peggy's contacts also!" John said and put them in. Alex named them all, 'French Baguette', 'Bear Mom', 'Badass Angie', 'Cinnamonrollll', 'And don't forget PEGGY!'. He showed them to John and they laughed, "Hercules is the mom of the group! Angelica is a badass and Laf's nickname is Baguette. Oh, and don't forget Peggy!" The room turned into a room of laughter.
(Time Skip)

John's POV:
John watched Alexander get into his seat beside him and Peggy. He noticed it was raining and John hoped it wouldn't storm. He knows how Alexander gets when there's a storm outside, and John didn't want Alex to be embarrassed. He watched Alexander look out of the window to see the pouring rain. Alex had a touch of concern in his eyes. A few seconds went past and Mrs. Washington told everyone to get their books out for silent reading. This was the routine. Everyday at the start of the day was silent reading and then they would do something else. Like on Mondays after silent reading Mrs. Washington would have people in the class share their weekend, but they didn't have to. A bit into silent reading a flash of lightning came and was soon followed with a clap of thunder. The kids looked outside and John saw Alexander shift in his seat, noticeably uncomfortable but still read his book. Thunder sounded a few more times and John watched Alex, and was pretty sure he knew what Alex was thinking, 'Why does it have to happen right now?'. Two minuets had now passed and all there could be heard was the sound of pouring rain until lightning came again and it came with thunder. This sound of thunder was pretty loud and the lights suddenly turned off. John turned his head and could see Alex stiffen.

Alex's POV:
Alex tried to read his book and not listen to the storm outside. He heard thunder clap and a bright light was shown in the corner of his eye, and the power turned off. Alex stiffened, Oh god, please don't let this be happening! Alex yelled in his mind. Alex couldn't move, he could see John looking at him with a small touch of concern in the corner of Alex's eye. Memories flooded back into his mind.

Water started flooding the house.
A young Alex ran around the house looking for both his mother and older brother. "Mom! James! Where are you? I'm scared!" He yelled and reached his mother's bedroom. His mother and brother where on her bed looking terrified. "Mom!" Alex yelled and looked out the window. Water was everywhere and wind was blowing over trees. They were in the eye of a hurricane. Water lapped at his shoulders now. It was getting higher so quickly. "Alexander!" His mother yelled and picked him up, along with his brother. His clothes stuck to his body and he and his brother cried. "Mom, I'm scared!"

"Alex? Alexander! Are you okay hon?"
Alex couldn't say anything. He was stuck in his place. Another memory came in his head.

Alexander closed his eyes as he got submerged in water. He surfaced, "James? Mom!" Was all he could get out before he took another breath before going back underwater. He later got back to the surface and looked around. He spotted his mother, "Mom! Where's James?" He yelled and went back underwater. He was grabbed and was at the surface again. His mother had grabbed him. "Where's James mom?" He said and coughed up some water.

"Alex, what's happening? Are you okay?" Said a female voice. Alex still couldn't respond. "What's wrong with him?" Said a familiar voice. Another memory came to his head again

Everything was dripping wet. The hurricane was gone but it was still raining. All of the small town had died except for Alexander's mother and him. His mother ran up to James's limp body, "No! James!" She screamed in disbelief and pulled him close to his chest. "Mom? What's happened to James? Is he... Is he, gone?"Alexander asked quietly as he walked up to his crying mother. She nodded her head 'yes' and Alex cried with her. Everyone had died except for them. They couldn't seem to die that day.

Alexander snapped back to reality as another boom of thunder came. In front of him was his worried teacher and John on the left. "Alex, are you okay? You were screaming and you started crying.." Mrs. Washington asked him. Alex shook his head 'no' and she nodded her head. Everything was dark since the power was still out and John sat in front of Alex as Mrs. Washington went to see if everyone else was okay and went back to Alex.

Mrs. Washington's POV:
The power had gone out and everyone in her class was talking. She looked around until something caught her eye. Alexander sat on his chair, holding up his book but wasn't doing anything. John was looking at him with concern in his eyes. She walked over to the boys and knelt down to Alex's level. She could see that Alex was tearing up. She looked towards John, who had a face that told her that he wasn't going to be okay. Alexander then blurted out, "Mom? James? Where are you? I'm scared!" This brought everyone's attention to Alex. Tears started falling down his face. "Mom!" He said again, "Mom, I'm scared!" He said again. "Alex? Alexander! Are you alright hon?" She asked him but got no answer. He was crying a lot now, "James? Mom!" He blurted out again, "Mom! Wheres James?" He cried out. She looked over at John, "He's really scared of storms." He said quietly. "I know people can be scared of storms but I've never seen thi-" She was cut off by Alexander, "Where's James mom?" He cried, "Alex! What's wrong? Are you okay?" She asked, "What's wrong with him?" Thomas said. She shot a glare at him and went back to Alex. "Mom! What's happened to James? Is he.. Is he gone?" He said with a sad tone. He started sobbing. He soon seemed to snap back to reality. "Alex, are you okay? You were screaming and you started crying.." She told him. Alex didn't respond but laid his head on his desk and sat there. He then started to cry again, he looked up with tears in his eyes, grabbed a hard cover book from his desk, a few pieces of paper and a pencil. He stood up from his desk and made his way out of the classroom. John watched Alexander as he walked out. He stood up and looked at her, "Can I go with him? I just want to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid." John asked. She nodded and John went to follow Alex. She looked over at Peggy, who had a sad look on her face, "Will Alex be okay?" Peggy asked, she just shrugged, "I hope so. Ever since he's got here things changed a little. I noticed that things have changed, I just don't know what." She replied to Peggy.

John's POV:
He walked into the bathroom. That's where Alex walked into with all of his stuff the he took. John stood at the entrance for a moment, then walked into the bathroom to see Alex by the trash can writing something. Alex wrote so fast, even in the dark. "Hey Alex.." John said and sat down beside him. Alex jolted his head towards John, "Hi John..." Alex replied and sniffled. "Are you okay? The reaction you had today was pretty bad so I followed you here so I could make sure you're okay." John told him. " Oh, okay. Well I'm fine so you can go away now." Alex told him, " I'm not going anywhere Alex. I'm staying here until you want to come out and go back to class." John said, "Fine." Alex replied and went back to whatever he was writing in the dark. The boys just sat there for a moment until John decided to hug Alex. He didn't know why, he just wanted to. John felt Alex relax in his arms and they just sat there. After a moment the lights came back on, they still stayed in the same position. It was until two minuets later John realized that Alex had fallen asleep in his arms. John smiled at the sleeping Alex and his teacher popped her head in. "Hello John. I see you've been comforting Alex." She said with a chuckle. John signalled to her that Alex was asleep and she nodded her head. "Is he okay?" She asked in a whisper, "Yeah. I've seen him like this, but it was mild. I never knew he could get like this. Although I think he's fine right now but will be embarrassed when he comes back to class." John replied in a whisper. "Okay. When he wakes up you can tell him he is able to call home if he would like." She said, John nodded. She left the room and a few minuets later Alex woke up. "Hey Alex. You okay?" John asked him. Alex shook his head, "I just want to go home." Alex told John. "If I were you I would want to also."
Warning: Suicide

Peter's POV:
He got up from his bed. He felt different today. He felt sadder than usual. Something was forcing him to walk to the bathroom. Something forced him to grab a knife from the kitchen. Something was forcing him to do everything that day. He cried. What about Alex? Where will he live? What is happening? He thought to himself before he felt a sharp pain in his neck and his vision went black.
