(Alex's POV)
Adrian runs up to Arya and pulls her into a hug. I stand beside Allison watching the whole scene play out. "Adrian if you're here are mom and dad-"
"No," he interrupts. "They're dead."
I see Arya's face pale and I look at Allison as they continue to talk.
"Did you know about this?" I whisper to her but she shakes her head no.
"I had no idea. He doesn't talk much about his family." She answers. "We should give them some privacy though."
I nod in agreement and walk into the kitchen. My sister follows behind me.
The kitchen isn't very big but it's not too small either. There's wooden cabinets hanging from the wall and a bar looking wooden table hiding all the appliances like the dishwasher and oven.
Of course the four bar stools are wooden as well as the table the family used to eat diner at. I guess you can say wood is the theme.
"So Arya seems nice." My sister says as she sits on one of the bar stools.
I smile and sit beside her. "She's amazing, she's beautiful, she funny, she's a good kisser. I could go on all day saying all the great things about her."
"Wow bro."
I raise an eyebrow. "Wow what?"
"You must really like this girl. I didn't think you would open up to anyone since you know... What happened to Melanie."
I growl in response but the tiny bit of anger I was feeling diminishes. "I didn't either. I have to admit at first I was a jerk to her." That reminds me I have to ask her to delete that picture she took of me. I don't think she ever deleted it.
"You're like that to everyone when you first meet them though." She states.
I sigh. "Yea, I know." so how did you and Adrian meet?"
"We meet in a café outside of school," My sister is going to film school I wonder what Adrian is going to school for. "I was working on a script for a short film I have to make for class."
I nod and wait for her to continue. "I decided I was thirsty so I got in line to order a drink. When I was waiting he spilled coffee all over me. Later on her told me it was on purpose just so he didn't have to find out a way to cleverly introduce himself. Then we started hanging out and eventually he asked me out.."
The smile on her face tells me that he makes her happy and that makes me happy. My sister deserves happiness.
I chuckle. "How cliché." I say which causes her to roll her eyes. "What's he going to go to school for?"
She shrugs. "Something to do with marketing. He wants to open a dancing studio."
I nod "Thats cool."
She smiles again. "I know. So how did you and Arya meet?" She questions.
"Well that's a long story." I say.
"Well I'm all ears little bro." She smiles at me.
I sigh and tell her everything that's happen like our mom kicking me out when she was drunk, that we're here just to get clothes and how I met Arya in the cave.
I also told her everything that's happened with dad. She seemed really mad at dad when I was talking.
When I'm done talking her face is filled with confusion and hatred."Where is mom? Maybe she can talk some sense into that bastard."
"I don't know." I sigh and look around the room until my eyes fall on a white envelope hanging on the fridge by a magnet. On the envelope it says "To Alex" what the hell?
I walk up to it at take it off the fridge. "What's that?" Allison asks.
"I have no idea." I say and rip the envelope open.
On a plain piece of paper there's a note with my mother's handwriting on it.
"Dear Alex,
You probably won't come back but if you do I hope you take the time to read this.
I'm so sorry for kicking you out. I don't know what was wrong with me. I know I was drinking and that's unacceptable and hate myself for doing that. I really am sorry.
It's been plaguing my mind ever since so I decided to go live with your aunt to try to get my mind off it.
So if you're reading this the house is all yours. The fridge and pantry are stocked. If you talk to your dad please tell him where I am.
I love you son with all me heart and if you ever need to talk please call me at Aunt Suzie's house.
With love,
Mom"
I stare at the note. It's been plaguing her mind? As harsh as this is I call her bullshit and after what dad has done to me like hell in telling him.
I read the note to Allison before I rip the note up and throw it into the garbage.
I sigh "I do miss her though." I say to Allison.
"I know little bro but maybe she will come back." She says hopefully.
Yea for some reason I don't think that's going to happen.
Just as I'm about to answer her Adrian and Arya walk into the kitchen.
By the red splotches on Arya's face I can tell she's been crying.
