My brothers best friend

Chapter 10: Summertime Sadness

I was shocked at first but I didn't hesitate and kissed him back. My stomach was going crazy and I was feeling very hot.

Wait...

I slowly pushed him away from me ,a little disappointed. He was drunk. I had tasted the alcohol in his mouth. Damn it..

"What's wrong?" he looked confused as he tried to hold himself.

I groaned as I pushed him into my room and closed the door.

"You're drunk Alex.."

He wasn't even listening to me. He layed on my bed without saying anything. I sighed as I sat next to him. Alex was laying on his stomach and his eyes were closed.

"I'm so tired Diana.." Alex said mumbling into the blanket after a while.

Somehow this made my stomach ache. I gently stroked his hair.

I couldn't forget his lips on mine. I wish he would have known what he was doing.

"Alex who is this number calling you all the time?", it felt wrong to ask him that while he was drunk but I really wanted to know who it was. I was just so afraid for him.

He didn't answer for a while.

"Ava", he said whispering.

The girl I saw on the Carnival?

"Your ex?" I asked carefully still stroking his soft hair.

He slowly nodded his head.

"What does she say in these phone calls Alex?"

"She tries to come back to me. She say's all these things like, i'm so in love with you, i will kill myself if you don't come back...but I don't want it Diana.. she did bad things to me"

I felt anger rise in me. I was so mad right now but I tried to stay calm.

"Why don't you just block her Alex?"

"I c-can't... I would feel too guilty if I just ignore her.. besides that I'm too scared she would hurt herself.. or me.." with every word he got more quiet.

"What do you mean Al? How would she hurt you?"

He didn't answer.

"Alex?", i whispered after a while.

He fell asleep. I felt tears in my eyes. I felt so bad for him. He didn't deserve this. He had a good heart and I knew it. I understood that Ava needed him but couldn't they just be friends? Why couldn't she just leave him alone? And how could you ever hurt someone like Alex?

A tear rolled down my cheek. I wiped it away as I stood up. I turned the TV off and wrapped the blanket around Alex. Then I layed next to him and closed my eyes as well.

Today was probably one of the weirdest days in my life. I couldn't forget what Alex had told me. I was so scared she would hurt him again.

I moved a little closer to Alex and wrapped an arm around him. I wanted to protect him but I wasn't sure if I could...

°°°°°

The bright sunshine woke me. I groaned as I turned to the other side. When my leg hit something I quickly opened my eyes confused.

Oh right how could I forget. Alex was already awake and he was sitting on the bed. He looked tired and exhausted. After a while he finally noticed me. He smiled.

"What happened last night?", he let out a little chuckle. Of course he wouldn't remember...

"Well you were drunk and you knocked at my door so I let you in, you were tired and you fell asleep on my bed", of course I didn't tell him everything.
