Battle Scars

Ch 32

I get back to the house and unpack my suitcase. It's so quiet here. It feels... weird. I thought that if I was to send them away and then they would be safe I would have some weight lifted off my shoulders. None comes off.

I pack my suitcase with clothes at I like. I am going to live with Jax while they are all gone. I don't know if Louis and the guys are going to fly back once they found out I was not on the plane. I hope they don't.

Once I finish packing I carry my suitcase to the car. Jax does live like two houses down but, I don't want to walk back here everytime I need the car. I walk back to the house and lock it with the spare key I made. I put the key on a small chain so it can hang around my neck.

I take one last good look at the house before I get in the car and drive the 10 seconds to Jax's place. I pull up and park the car. The car clock says 2 pm. The flight is about 7 hours so they won't land until around 8 our time. I decide to send Louis a quick text. That way he gets it when he lands.

To: Louis <3

From: Alex

I'm Sorry.

I got out of the car and grabbed my bags. I held everything on my left arm to not put stress on my right. I knocked with my right hand and waited for Jax. She opens the door with a big smile on her face.

"Hey Al! Come on in!" she happily says. I nod with smile showing no teeth and step inside. It was a one story house.

When you first walk in you're in the living room. It has one single couch, a love seat and a 3 person couch. It has a big rectangular red rug with black, gold and dark green patterns on it. On the far right side is a fire place. Jax shuts the door behind me.

"Here, leave your stuff here and I will give you a tour of the house!" she smiles at me. I just nod my head and follow her.

"Here we have the kitchen." Once you leave the living room you enter a kitchen. It has a big island in the center with a white tile floor. The walls are a soft green. "Over to your right is the dining room and straight a head, through the window/bar thing is the back room." She then turn left and walked down a hall.  "This here is one of the two guest rooms. The room next to it is the laundry room and hall across from that the bathroom. All the way at the end to your left is your room and to the right the master bed room."

I will admit, her house was small but cozy. I head back to the living room to get my stuff and I drag it through the house. Once got to my room I opened it. There was a queen size bed up against the back wall with a dresser on the far right wall. There is a closet on the front wall by the doorway. A big rug covers most of the wood floor. The walls are a bright green. Jax

comes up behind me.

"Sooo... Do you like it?" she asks impatiently. I just nod my head. "Well I'll leave you to unpack", She turns leaving the room closing the door behind her. I place my bag on the bed and open it and start to unpack.

It took me all of  30 minutes to unpack and sort of move in. For the past 5 hours Jax and I have been watching movies. Well more like her. I keep looking at the time and thinking about Louis.
