Warning!! Contains Alcohol and slight Abuse
The first week of school is over and I've only gotten closer to Alex and Ezra. I also met this girl named Beth in my spanish class! She's pretty cool, she is a little shorter than me so probably around 5 foot and she has straight hair to her chin and the strands in front of her face are dyed a cyan color. But enough about her let's talk about Alex! He has came over every day for dinner since the whole walk incident. But when he's not here we are on the phone every single minute if one of us aren't busy doing something else, currently it's 11:19pm and we are playing games together laughing and making fun of each other when we die. I was happy until I heard yelling downstairs, "great..." I mumble almost inaudible then sigh and put some music on. "Hey you good? What's going on in the background?" I pause for a moment "yeah.. just my parents are arguing again... I'm gonna get off the game for a bit alright?" I hear his game turn off and he is quiet for a minute "hey I'm here for you okay? If you wanna talk I'm right here. You know what? I'm on my way, unlock your window." I sniffle and laugh quietly "o-okay thank you..." few minutes later I hear a knock on my window so I look and see Alex then open it and he climbs in "jeez y/n..." he quickly pulls me into his arms and holds me close as I softly cry into his chest "what would I do without you Alex?" He laughs "that's a very good question." I laugh quietly and he gasps "was that a laugh I heard? Your upset you can't laugh!" He says jokingly which makes me laugh harder but then I pause and jump up to the door. "What y/n?" I pause before saying anything then shakily say... "I t-think my dad has b-been drinking..." Alex sits up stiffly "what's that mean." I sigh "j-just let me listen for a moment..." he stands up and stands behind me with his hand on my lower back. I blush at his touch and try to focus on my dads words, I hear his voice get louder so I open the door and run down the stairs to see my mom crying and beer bottles on the table. Alex is at the top of the stairs and my mom sees him but I see my dad start to raise his hand so I run over and grab his hand before he can do anything else. Alex runs down the stairs and is at the other side of the table when my dad swings his arm back knocking me to the ground. Alex runs over to pick me up and my dad turns around and looks at me with regret slowly backing up "y/n.. I'm s-" I don't care for his meaningless apologies. "Save it dad. Your just drunk." He winces at my comment as Alex carries me upstairs to my room then sets me down on my bed and turns around to lock my door. He walks back to me and hugs me as I start crying into Alex's arms again "I'm so sorry you had to see that Alex..." he picks me up and sits down on my bed "I'm sorry you had to go through that y/n... I'm glad I was here to make sure you were okay though!" He says trying to cheer me up "thank you for being here." He holds me tighter until I calm down. "You don't have to answer anything but... how often does this happen?" I look away from him "not too often but more than it should." He sighs "does he usually hit your mom?" I look at him and nod "I usually try to stop him but this always happens." I hear a knock on my door and he gets up and unlocks it then slightly opens it to see who is "it's your mom" I jump up and he moves out of the way so I can let her in "y/n I'm so sorry hun" I hug her "He does this every time..." she looks at Alex "you can stay tonight cause you seem to calm down y/n a lot better than we can" he nods " I already told my mom id be here" i whisper "thank you mom I know you can tell" she smiles "of course I can I'm your mother! But you know the rules too." I roll my eyes and nod "yeah yeah" I hug her again and she goes back downstairs. I look down into the living room to see my dad asleep on the couch with water next to him, I sigh and head back to my room. Alex sits back on my bed and I lay down next to him "you alright?" he speaks in a low worried manner "yeah I know he didn't mean any of it but it's still.. I don't know, scary?" He chuckles " I bet!" I start to think about it though... if he didn't mean it why does he keep doing it? Does he not care? Ugh.. Alex can tell I'm thinking and then I realize I'm crying again. "Come here Ma, it's okay" oh my god did he just called me Ma? I move into his arms again and he goes to put on a show "Stranger Things sound good? He always knows just what to do. I smile and nod so he puts it on and we fall asleep in each others arms.
