Flicker - Chris Sturniolo

Rage Room

The four didn't leave the house all morning. No one had anything to do so they spent their time fucking around just trying to live a little. At the moment nothing seemed like a better idea. Alora had already grown so comfortable around the triplets. Maybe it was the way they made her feel so welcome without trying. Perhaps it was the way they didn't treat her like she was just another person trying to chase their dreams in the city of LA. In the span of 2 days, the triplets had made her feel more appreciated more than any other person she had met here combined. Nick, Matt, and Chris had such pure souls but they just showed it in their own little ways.

"Alright I'm going to clean up the mess I have created in Chris's room over the last two days," Alora said jumping up off the couch where they had just finished a game of Mario Kart.

"Yeah Madi and I are gonna hang out soon so I gotta get ready, Alora you wanna come with us?" Nick asked the girl.

"Thank you for the offer Nick but I have a few things to get done before the concert and shit," Alora replied and Nick nodded understanding where the girl was coming from.

"Well Chris and Matt what are you two doing on this fine Monday," Nick asked his brothers.

"Uh I don't think I have anything in plan," Matt said.

"I'm hanging out with Isabel in a bit," Chris said.

"Who's Isabel?" Alora asked from the kitchen where she was grabbing a Dr.Pepper.

"The girl Chris is hopefully trying to bag," Matt said joining her in the kitchen.

Alora didn't miss the pang she felt in her chest as Matt spoke but she just gave an answer to cover it, "Okayyyy Chris second date that's something."

"It's not a date we are just hanging out," Chris yelled at the duo.

"Call it what you want but you can't cover the truth," Alora spoke. "Alright you all have fun doing what you are doing I'm gonna go clean that room now." With that Alora waved them off. "Matt if your plans stay clear we are doing something later," She said from down the hall receiving a yes please in response.

Entering Chris's room Alora was met with her open suitcase with clothes hanging out of every corner, her empty bottles of water and Dr.Pepper that filled the bedside table, and the bed full of random pages of her work. Then there was Chris's mess that Alora was going to clean up too. I mean it was the least she could do since he was letting her sleep in his bed.

She sat before her suitcase ready to unpack and repack everything when someone knocked, "Chris I don't know how many times I have to tell you that you don't have to knock to enter your own room please just come in," She said through the closed door.

Chris opened the door and walked in, "I know but it's your room now too. So I will knock every time." Alora shook her head. "I just gotta grab a hat then I'll be on my way."

"Well of course who is Chris Sturniolo without his hat?" She teased earning a light smack on the head from the passing Chris. "Okay okay no need to get violent," She defended.

Chris laughed and picked out one of his hats, "Do you think my outfit looks good?" He asked the girl that was rummaging through her clothes.

She looked behind her shoulder to take a look at Chris. He was wearing black cargo pants and a black short sleeve with a fitted hat sitting comfortably on his head. How could someone look so good in an outfit so simple? "You look great Chris, your outfit looks great," She told him truthfully.

"Are you sure? Like it's not too simple or anything?" He questioned as he went over what he was wearing.

"I promise," She said turning back to her suitcase.
