Alex POV
- Can you please drop my leg?
- No.
- I won't ask politely again. Drop,Ethan.
- Nooooo, you're going to leave me here. Don't go on that mission.
- How old are you? It's just a fucking mission, I'm not going to die. - I pull my leg in a sudden movement and he finally let go.
- If you die, can I keep your belongings?
- No.
- You're really a bad person. Can I at least have a goodbye hug?
- Yes.
- I already knew you were going to say no... wait, DID YOU SAY YES?
He hugged me. A big hug. In these 3 months we have created a very strong connection, almost like blood brothers, or cousins. I don't know. I usually don't deal well with strangers who try to get into my life, but, he can do my best come to the top. I am very grateful to have him as roommate, despite being the most dramatic boy in the whole Anura.
- That's enough, you won't even miss me.
- I doubt it. I really like you, bro. Don't forget. - He said in a tone of jouissance.
- I already told you I'm not going to die.
- Good luck Alex and come back quickly.
- Yes sir - I smilled and turn my back. I'll only take a bag. Uniform,books, a photo of my family and some hygiene products. I cross the hallway and when I get outside I saw the girls waiting for me. Both look calm and next was the captain AKA my brother.
- Well, since we're all here, we can leave immediately.
- Yes, captain.
We got into the helicopter, fastened our belts and the turbines started to make noise. I look at Isaac, it's my first time flying. I would lie if I said I wouldn't be anxious.
- You don't need to be nervous, you are safe, I assure you - once again my brother has read my thoughts,
I am starting to think that he has a gift.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everything was going well, until I had the brilliant idea of looking out the window. Oh lord, it gave me a huge desire to throw up. Caitlyn was the first to notice my sweat.
- Do you need anything?
- I'm fine.
- You are pale, it looks like you're going to faint. Breathe.
- I told you I'm fine. - I answered harshly.
- Don't worry Caitlyn, recruit Pierce is just afraid of heights, isn't he? - I looked at my brother and he looked like someone who was going to talk shit.
- Shut the fuck up !
- Look at the language. Girls, do you want to know how Mr. "Stone Heart" got afraid of heights?
- Yessss - Anya and Caitlyn looked at Isaac waiting for him to start telling my shameful past.
- If you say something, I'll drown you.
- Shhhh recruit. When Alex was a little kid, probably at his 12 or 13 years old, we were running through the forest , training, and at some point we had to jump from a high height so that we could enter in another part of the forest. I jumped, then turn myself and saw Alex crying. He said he couldn't jump because he was scared and I said "It's ok, you can jump, I will catch you". He accepted but the thing is... when he jumped, he tripped on something and he didn't jump right. Result, I couldn't catch him and he hit his ass on the floor. He couldn't sit or walk properly because his ass was hurt but he tried to be strong and not show the pain. From that day on he gained trauma to high places ,so this new experience of flying should be killing him from the inside. Am i right Pierce ?
Anya was dying laughing and Caitlyn was trying to contain it.
- Very funny, no doubt - I roll my eyes - You know, it's your fault, If you caught me i wouldn't be afraid of heights.
- Don't blame me for your clumsy.
- As you wish, I'm going to sleep.
- At least you stopped sweating. Sweet dreams Broken ass.
- Shut up Anya, we made a truce so don't push.
