CHAPTER 41: escaping to confess!

Lexi's POV;

I was currently laying on my couch, eyes closed, with my head resting on my brother's lap.

Xander was currently on a call. A call with our dad to be more precise. I can hear dad's angry voice from time to time. He was most definitely super mad!

I opened my eyes as I realized Xander was done with the call. "What did he say? Is he mad? Ok, forget I asked the last part."

"He's mad alright, and so am I! Lexi, you don't know how much both dad and I blame ourselves regarding what happened."

"It's not your fault. He.." I was cut off by an emotional Xander.

"No it is! We weren't able to protect you well enough. If we did, that psycho would never have been able to reach you!" He let out a desperate sigh while slowly rubbing my head. "Anyway, we can't change what happened, so from now own you will have atleast two bodyguards with you 24/7. And you're going to move in with me. I've bought a place that's near to your uni. No need to pack up, we won't take anything from this place, well unless it's something of significance to you. Got it?"

I slowly nodded my head. I knew it would be useless to argue against him. Besides, I would feel safer staying with him. It's just...I can only meet Drea outside now, in secret.

There is also Zandro and my blooming first romance! I was afraid after what happened, true. But, I now want to get together with Zandro more than ever. Even just confess to him my feelings! I don't want to have any regrets.

Since life doesn't always go as planned anyway, why waste time wondering about what might happen? I'm just gonna go with the flow!

I felt like a burden was lifted off of me when I came to the decision.
_________________________________________

I moved to Xander's new place soon after, and continued on with my life. Going to college, meeting up with Drea secrectly, planning my return confession to Zandro, which really wasn't working well. I couldn't decide on how to go about it. And I haven't heard from him in quite a long time. According to Drea, he had been out of it for the last several days. Even she didn't know the reason, which led me to wonder if it is a good idea to tell him about my feeling when he seems to not be himself.

In the end, I decided to just do it, and without any fancy stuff. Just tell him! Well..as soon as I get rid of the two bodyguards who are guarding by my side. I was currently in a restroom in the mall.

Well, don't people in stories usually jump out of windows from these places to run away. That was my idea too, except this place had no windows going out. Not even a little one!

Giving up on following story plotlines I dried my hands with some tissues before walking out of the restroom. I stared at the two who continued following me as I walked through the mall. My guards were people I was familiar with from the mafia. They were quite skilled, but were too into following rules. I never heard them utter a useless word throughout the time I've known them. They always act all respectful in front of me, which bores me quite a bit.

At the end of the day, I ended up buying a bunch of stuff but not being able to escape. If I just wanted to escape, I could have done it, but I don't want brother to know I escaped.

So here I am, escaping in the middle of the night after making sure Xander is asleep. Not a very good time to go confess to someone, but the best I can think of!
