|Coming Out|

Happy Valentine's day single people ;)

*Alexa's POV*

When I was sent to my room, three bodyguards were assigned to stand outside my room and 3 under my window.

Blake had stopped by my room that Elonzo had grounded me from coming out for a day, even though it was going to be Blake's birthday.

"And I agree with Elonzo," Blake had told me. "It is very important you stay away from that boy."

Food and water was given to me in my room and I was left with no entertainment whatsoever.

I wanted to cry for doing all this. I knew that I was going to get in trouble for talking to Louis. It was worth going with him, but it was still my fault for agreeing.

My time was spent by staring at the ceiling, sleeping, eating and crying a bit. I had no one to talk to, even after trying to shout down from the window what was my bodyguards' favourite colour.

I had to give Blake's present to one of the guards standing outside my room.

No one came to check on me, there had been a knock on the door for me to take my breakfast when I woke up.

I was pretty sure that I was being watched by either Elonzo or someone else through the security cameras. I hoped it would be Elonzo so he would notice that I was crying.

I did a bit of staring out my window. I may have fallen asleep because the next thing I know is that my room door is being opened and that Blake was coming in with my unwrapped presents.

He came over my window sill and took me in his arms, stroking my hair. I lay there attention to rub the sleepiness oht of my eyes so I knew if Blake was actually in my room.

Blake brought me closer to his chest so that my head was lying on his left shoulder. This was a hug I had braces for. My arms wrapped around him tightly.

"I love the gift you gave me," He whispered in my ear. "Don't tell the others, but I like yours more than the ones they gave me. Even if Elonzo did by me a new car."

I smiled, happy that my small, yet long lasting gift was enough for him. It wasn't much, but there was a watch with a black strap and where the numbers and hands were located, the background was a neon turquoise. The color of how clear ocean water would look like.

However, the bow that the watch was in had been covered with my childhood photos of my stepbrothers - me photoshopped in some of them.

I didn't have any pictures with my stepbrothers because mum never wanted me near them and made sure that when she was pregnant they would leave them with my aunt and uncle.

I'm glad I spent thirteen years nagging my mum, asking if we could go to America.

I guess she was going to attempt to hide my stepbrothers for the first day we stayed here, and theast few days after our trip.

"I'm sorry I was cold to you," Blake said,"But you you have to stay away from boys, especially that one in particular."

"But Blake," I knew I was pushing it, but this was the other chance. He was feeling sorry for me. "I can't stop my feelings for someone."

He pushed me lightly out of the hug and held me by the shoulders."Yes you can, I bet you've had so many crush when you're at school."

"Ah," I said,"Now that's where you're wrong. The boys at my school are ugly, and Louis is my first proper crush."

Blake kept quiet as if he was thinking about something deep. "Wait a minute, what do you mean by proper crush?" He asked with his eyebrows raised.

I had to come up with an excuse quickly before he got suspicious. I wanted to bang my head on the table for saying the boys at school were ugly, it would have helped me right now.
