Having a sibling specifically a big brother was one of the best thing that Alex felt she was lucky of

She had someone to go to when the goings got tough, she was glad he never moved out of their childhood home or she wouldn't have been there getting some air

It was Tuesday morning and she felt better than she did the previous day, she was glad she got away from all the drama

Getting up from the bed, she did her morning routine before she exited her room, walked through the hallway and descended down the steps

"Good morning Bennard" She said as she entered the kitchen

"Good morning Miss Alexandria"

Bennard was Angelo's Butler, a tall, handsome and gentle man with a British accent, his gym body hidden in his usual decent clothes. He was employed at the age of thirteen when Angelo was six years old, Bennard was practically Family

He was the kind of man anybody would underestimate at first glance, Bennard was a man of many skills and talent though

"Ben" Alex rolled her eyes with a smile as she sat on one of the chairs near the counter

"You know how important formalities are with Master Angelo"

"Master Angelo?" Alex laughed

"He said it makes him feel somehow satisfying" Bennard shrugged

"Oh wow" Alex chuckled "and you agreed to calling him that tsk tsk" she shook her head

"You know how he is" Bennard said with a little smile

"Nevertheless like I've said a thousand times, Alex or now Lexi"

"Master Angelo wouldn't like that"

"Psh you've been with us before I was even born, relax he's your friend" I said

"And boss" he added

Alex chuckled as she shook her head, Angelo was just too much for his own good

"It's a thing we have, I like it myself do not worry" Bennard placed a plate of doughnuts in front of Alex with a cup of milk

"Fine, you call me Alex at least" she looked at him

"You won't give up will you"

"Nope" she said popping the p

"Alright"

Alex gave him a grin

There was silence as Alex ate while Bennard did nothing particular in the kitchen

"Ben"

Angelo walked in the kitchen fully clothed in his usual Armani suits ready for work

"Good morning Master Angelo"

Angelo smiled as he unbuttoned his blazer and sat next to Alex

"No classes?"

"I have one at 10"

Bennard placed an apple with juice in front of Angelo

"Your breakfast sire" he joked with a serious face

The siblings chuckled

"You're too much man" Angelo said quieting down

Bennard sat the other side of the counter as he served himself some doughnuts

Angelo looked at his precious sister as she slowly ate her food, she was a beauty just like his mother

He remembered the promise he made to himself when he first saw her at the hospital, he promised himself to protect her at all cost

And now a boy who wasn't fully matured had the audacity to make her a target of girls to taint list

If anyone choses or tries to hurt her again, that person will see ten times worse what Louis experienced, He didn't regret anything that he did the night before besides it was just a confrontation

He looked at his apples before taking a large bite

Angelo was pleased to hear what Zack did, he was glad his sister's friends had her back when he wasn't around and not to mention her other friends

Alex's state wasn't something he planned to ever see when she eventually visited his home, staying at Tyler's had only made her life complicated as days passed by

She needed a breather, so he had decided-

"Penny for your thoughts" Alex said

"Mm?" Angelo looked his little sister

"What's up"

"Well what's going on?"

Her face instantly changed at the sudden question, he looked at Bennard who was busy eating and back at Angelo

"Don't you know already by now?" She asked

"I want to hear it from you" Angelo said

Alex sighed

"What's the point, you'll just go to him and make a scene"

"I've done that already"

Alex looked up

"You didn't think I'd stay in my room and wonder what's wrong with you when I could find out easily on my own did you?"

"Mte" she said under her breath as she rolled her eyes

"Hate to break it to you but he's pretty much persuasive" Bennard jumped in the conversation

"Please tell me he didn't end someone's career" she worriedly said

"He didn't" Bennard shook his head

"You're concerned about that little misbehaving boy?" Angelo frowned

"He was-"

"Someone who wanted to get into your pants for fun, you think he cared about you?"

"What?" Alex said not believing a single word

"Ben found a few things, I should've stopped you from seeing him ...but you're 18 I assumed you would figure it out and call it quits" he scolded

"Angelo I-"

"You're not going back there" he said no room for discussions

"No I can't, that's my home now, all my stuff are that side you can't do this" she pleaded

"I'll collect them today"

"And school-"

"How are you going to concentrate? Tell me" he fully faced her "when Tyler drives you crazy and Louis make you that emotional ...I don't want you near them until you get yourself together"

"Angelo you can't do this, I want to stay with my friends"

"You're staying here until the semester ends" he stood up as he buttoned his button "or Grandpa and dad are going to hear about this" with that he left

Alex sighed

She never planned on staying that long there, she liked the freedom she had back at Tyler's place

Everything she had taken and has was at Tyler's, her friends, Tyler, clothes, books, everything was that side

No matter how bad she wanted to go back, she knew Angelo wasn't one to make empty threats, sure he was going to tell their parents if she disobeyed him

"Did you discuss this sleeping arrangements with him?" She narrowed her eyes

"I had nothing to do with it" Bennard raised his hand in surrender

Alex slumped her upper body on the counter suddenly drained
