Past... (Part 3)

Narrator:

After a few minutes of Cosmo and Alexis just staring at each other silently,Cosmo's phone suddenly rang and once she looked at it.... She frown and Alexis knew that look too well so she back away then just sat at the floor staring at Cosmo and gave her a small smile....

"I guess its time to go back to reality then right?" Alexis said with a sigh, "They have called me so yes... Im sorry..." Cosmo says feeling bad and worried. "Hey hey hey... Don't be sorry, we've been friends since 7th grade.... I know you have strict parents and you can't disobey or even just ignore the signs they are slowly giving you..." Alexis touches Cosmo's face and caresses it comfortingly…

 "I know i haven't told you of my past yet but im really happy you understand me immediately Lexy" Cosmo closes her eyes while holding the hand of Alexis that is on her face....

They stayed like that for a while then Cosmo abruptly stood up and sighed… “Come on, before ill end up in trouble” Cosmo extends her hand and gives Alexis a sad smile. Alexis took Cosmo's hand and stood up then hugged her, “Whatever happens, just know im always here for you. So don't ever be scared to let me in” Alexis whispers to Cosmo softly…

Cosmo:

I feel so touched with what Alexis has said and done for me, Im really lucky for having a friend like her… Another reason on why i really can't tell her about how i feel for her, its just too risky and i can't bare losing her…

“Thank you, Ill always keep that in mind” I pull back from the hug and smile at her. We then separate and start walking back to the school to get our stuff and go home, well at least for me….

While walking to the parking area on where i left my car and where Alexis left her motorcycle, we saw Renard my brother’s oddly close gay bestfriend that he keeps on hiding from our parents, well i understand he hides him cuz he is scared that our parents will make them stop hanging out cuz of the fact that Renard is gay but when im curious and bothered with is that whenever Renard is visiting at our house my brother seems oddly suspicious when i tease him about him and Renard being so close but i just let it go cuz whatever the reason is ill support and love my brother no matter what.

while I was thinking of those thoughts i didn't notice that Alexis has been getting my attention, “Cosmoo” “Cosyyy” “Hotstufff”... I suddenly noticed her and blushed, “Hotstuff?” I stared and raise my eyebrows, Alexis also blushed but then laughed awkwardly “Ignore that, i was just trying to get your attention” “Yeah sure” I tease her, “Anyways, why are u calling me?” We arrive at my car so i stop and look at Alexis curiously, “Ive been calling you cuz i wanted to suggest that you should bring Renard with you” She says while pointing at Renard with a smirk. 

Renard hears and blushes but approaches us, “Uhh… I mean if you won't mind, may i? I wanna “talk” with Hayden” Renard says stuttering but trying to act brave and for that i smile at him. “Get in, just wait for me cuz imma talk to Alexis for a while” Renard nods and gets in the back of my car, “So why'd you suggest that?” I ask Alexis cuz im now more suspicious about Renard and my brother, “Well why not? Its obvious he has been battling to talk to you for a ride since ive seen him a few times trying to approach you but just fails” She laughs and I laugh too, “Yeah your right, ive noticed that about him too” I smile and when i look at Alexis i stare at her a bit cuz she looks so cute laughing.

When Alexis finishes laughing she looks at me and smiles, “You know you're cute when you laugh” I say as I suddenly inch closer to her unknowingly, “Huh?” She blushes and stares at me.

We have a moment again just staring at each other and slowly inching closer until we really almost kissed but then she suddenly snapped back to reality and stepped back while hiding her face, I also snapped back to reality and start blushing so much… “Ahhh, did that just happen? Does she like me too? Or whattt?” I start thinking that and just get so excited and confused.

“I-I should go now, So that you guys can go too” Alexis says as she rides on her motorcycle then wear her helmet, “Oh ok, drive safely Lexy” I say as i smile at her, She then turns on her motorcycle but before she drives off she suddenly puts her head down and i hear a faint shout like she is feeling some kind of romantic excitement but im not really sure cuz her motorcycle is a bit loud. After what she did she then waves and drives off, leaving me with my thoughts of her…

After a while i remember that Renard was coming with me and is in the car already so i get in and start driving to my house, When i get there i see my brother waiting outside like he is waiting for someone and when he sees my car he smiles but when he sees Renard he smiles wider like its different. 

I part my car near the side of my bedroom window just incase 👀

Me and Renard then get out of the car and go in the house, “Where is mom and dad? Mom called me so i thought they are here already?” I ask as i see Hayden hug Renard in a way that you could say its different then how friends do it. “They went out but will be back soon, idk where they went they just said they will be back right away” I just nod my head then went to my room to change.

As i finish changing i hear my phone ringing so i pick it up, “Where are you now, are you still hanging out with troublemaker girl?” I hear my mom's voice and i just sigh “Hello to you too mom, no. im home now same with hayden” I say then think “If your gonna ask” i groan silently. “Good, i hope you guys don't have friends over cuz you know what will happen if i find out you guys are hiding something” Mom says coldly then turn off the call, I groan and punch my pillow “Aaaaaaa” I shout on my pillow and start crying….

Suddenly Hayden burst in looking worried at me, “Did she shout at you?” Hayden ask and i just shake my head no… “Come here, im sorry…” I rush to my brother's arms and hug him, “Why are you sorry?” I ask between my sobs, “Im sorry cuz i can't protect you when she starts hurting your feelings, i know she never hurts us physically but we both know how hurtful her words can be…” Hayden sighs and strokes my head to calm me down, I nod and slowly calm down until i slowly fall asleep.

“Cosmo, your really making your family proud” My mom says as she fixes my outfit for me going up the stage for being the top of my class for 3rd grade, Ive always been top cuz i like school and ig you could say i was somewhat gifted with some smarts :D

“Omg, you literally didn't get an A+ for this essay test? I thought your smart? And literally you only got it wrong cuz you decided to add that weird friend of yours to it” My mom shouts at me, “She is not weird, she has a name too you know. She is alexis and she helps me, she deserves to be in that cuz our teacher said to write down someone that i consider close in school” I say crying as my mom has now hurt my feelings yet again… My mom hates alexis, its because she thinks alexis is the reason why im not her perfect daughter anymore… But truth be told i just grew up….

“You disappoint me” I hear my mom say as she sees that i only got an A for my languages class. “I don't wanna see your face right now” My mom then throws my report card and walks out of my room, i then start crying so much and feeling like im such a failure… 

Suddenly i start shaking, “Cosmo, Cosmo, Cosmo” I hear my brother's worried voice… I then wake up and when i touch my face its wet, “Oh thank God your now awake, your were shaking” Hayden says that with a pout and teary eyes. “Don’t cry hayden, im alright. See, im good” I sit up and wipe my tears then smile at him. “You had a nightmare of her again didn't you?” Hayden ask with a frown and i just sigh… “Why don't you call Alexis, hmm? You always talk to ber to calm yourself from whenever you get those kind of nightmares” Hayden suggested with a smile as he strokes my face, “Don't worry, ill keep an eye on dad's car so that you can say goodbye properly before mom gets inside the house” I then nod and Hayden goes out my room…..

"Im really thankful for him..." I say to myself as i am now left alone in my room but feel safe cuz of Hayden's comfort
