Everything is Due ; Nothing is submitted

Chapter 33

Alexios was sitting at the Templar house for their weekly meeting. Every Sunday they would meet and talk about Templar stuff and upcoming events. Although most of the time they would complain about the Brotherhood. Aspasia was at the front while everyone was spread out in the living room watching her.

"Deimos! Deimos" Alexios snapped his head and looked at Abbas.

"Umm yeah"

"Were you listening? I need you to get some Starbucks like right now," Abbas demanded. He was getting tired of Deimos not paying attention.

"Right now, it's 7 pm" Alexios looked at his phone "it's a little late for coffee"

Cesare then butts in "If you want to be forgiven for your transactions against me a few weeks ago you will do this". He was still shocked Deimos teamed up with Ezio like that.

"Yeah I agree with Cesare," Abbas said glaring at Deimos. At this Demios was done. The last few weeks had been hell. Cesare and Abbas had been nothing but assholes whereas Alexios roommates had been great to him.

"I'm done" Alexio stood up and everyone looked at him.

"Deimos sit down," Aspasia said glaring at him. She did not like being interrupted.

"No" Alexios declared. "I'm leaving. Everyone here sucks. You're all a bunch of self-centered assholes who have peaked." He then immediately covered his mouth shocked he said that. "I'm sorry I didn't" before he could finish Abbas punched him in the face hard.

Abbas's voice turned deadly "you're going to regret saying that" he then punched Alexios in the stomach. Alexios feel over.

Cesarethe spoke up "take it back and we might let you have another chance"

Alexios then looked up at them. Blood was gushing out of his nose. "fuck you guys"

"Get him out of here!" Aspasia commanded. She was not having this.

Cesare then gave a predatory smile "will do." He and Abbas then dragged Alexios out back. Alexios broke free quickly and defended himself against the onslaught of punches and kicks. They were all fighting one another. Abbas and Cesare were calling him awful things while Alexios cussed them out.

Soon Alexios fell to his knees and was coughing up blood. As he was trying to get his bearings Abbas spoke "we are going to make the rest of your college experience hell."

Alexios then let out a small laugh "it can't be worse than the last few years with you guys". It was true. In the last few weeks, he finally saw how they treated him like shit. Since his freshman year, they couldn't even bother to call him by his real name. They treated him like a slave rather than a friend. His roommates on the other hand cared about him and made him see what it was like to have good friends in college. Alexios then got up flipped them off and walked away. He felt horrible. He knew he needed to call someone. He didn't want to bother his roommates and it felt like it would embarrassing. He then swallowed his pride and called the one person who he knew would help him. The phone then picked up

"Alexios?"

Alexios took a deep breath "Kassandra I fucked up"

Kassandra was just sitting on the couch and now sat up and paused the tv. Kyra then looked at her confused. "What's going on?"

Then like that the last three years hit him. His voice cracked "I hate Templars" he was trying to hold it together but tears were forming.

"Alexios where are you? I'm going to come to pick you up" Kassandra then got up and grabbed her jacket and keys.

"I'm a few blocks from the Templar house. I'll send you my location" Alexios then hung up and sat on a curb waiting for his sister.

"What's going on Kassandra?" Kyra just watched the whole interaction confused.
