"You are strong enough
To face it all,
Even if
It doesn't feel like it
Right now"

"ARIANA!" I heard Alexander shout

"ARIANA!" I heard Alexander shout.

"WHAT?" I called back but received no answer.

This b-word.

"WHAT ALEX?"

Ok, now, this guy definitely wants to die in my hands.

I opened the door and stormed around this huge mansion before finding him in the living room, sitting on the couch like he owned the world, smirking a stupid and ugly smirk.

And I only thought parents did that.

I ran and jumped into him, making him let out a gruff sound before I started to punch the heck out of him. "Idiot! Why on Earth did you do that?"

"Because I wanted to annoy you. It worked like a charm!" Alex muttered as I let him go and crossed my arms. I sat opposite him, processing what he had just told me.

"Really?"

"Really."

Okay, I have had it now.

I stood up and straightened out my shirt, which confused him as well. I then took my house slippers and ran to him before hitting him harshly – but not too harshly – making him groan in pain.

"How *hit* dare *hit* you *hit* call *hit* me *hit* from *hit* the *hit* comforts *hit* of *hit* my *hit* room?!"

"S-sorry. I promise I won't do it again, Ariana. Please let me go!" He pleaded.

I sighed.

I guess I can be nice for once.

"Fine." I blew the hair that had fallen from my messy bun before sitting down beside him. I was too lazy to go back to the comforts of my lovely bedroom.

"By the way... Zoe has called you outside to talk to you about something. It sounded kind of serious, to be honest." He called out as I stood up from the couch.

"Then why did you say you called me for no reason?"

"Because why not?"

That's it.

I took out my slippers again and threw them at him, making him laugh and shielding his face from the impact. Luckily, I hit his nose before he could fully cover his face for protection.

"Ow!" He screeched like a girl, making me snort.

"Deal with it, big baby. Now let me go search for Mom." I ran out of the living room before he could scold me for calling him what he really was.
