Impermanently Broken

Chapter 4: Alexavier

Do you ever wonder what will happen if the world renders no sound? Imagine what will happen if you don't hear the chirp of the birds, no raindrops platters on the roof, no leaves chattering whenever the wind blows or even the cackle of a cuckoo. It'll be so peaceful, don't you think? So, peaceful that you start to lose your mind. It's like the silence becomes so intense it turns out to be deafening.

I hate that kind of silence, that's why sometimes I drown myself in playing some hard core Metallica, just like now, here in my room, in my goddamn mansion where all I can hear is fucking silence. My house, my room it feels so big that I feel so small and being suffocated.

"Dude! Open up!" A pounding on my door made me stop. I put my electric guitar gently to its stand before I walk towards my door.

"What!?" I ask annoyed when one of my best friend Gab, greet me with a mischief in his eyes and shit-eating grin in his face, telling me what he needed

"No" I said immediately even before he can utter a word

"B-but, it's Friday!" He exclaims almost dramatically

"I know its Friday but I can't host a party tonight because my Gran will be home tomorrow with Sandy" I'm so glad that my brother will be spending the last two weeks with me and Gran before classes starts.

"Oh, it's been a while since I've seen Sand-man, but surely we can end the party early?" Gab suggested "Besides we can recruit some new members" the piece of shit added quickly and he knows I'll agree because we haven't had a new members for a while now

"Fine, but you'll clean up after the party. If my Gran see any sign of it, I gonna hand over your ass" I warn him, my Gran is the coolest Grandmother on the planet but not cool enough to entertain the idea of a full house college drunks or underage drinking.

"I know, I know. Your Gran loves me, so my ass will be safe" Gab winks and disappear through the hallway talking to his phone announcing the party

I walk downstairs and a sea of crowd greets me. The smell of booze and sweat floats in the air. Everybody seems having a good time but I will kill Gabriel when this party ends.

I walk through the crowd and every guy nods their head at me in greeting and the girls are giving me appreciative glances. Everyone here tonight, seems to know who I am. Good, because I'm in no mood to kick some unwanted guests tonight.

"And the king have arrived" my other best friend Phoenix, greet me with a slap on the back. I look around and almost everyone is here, the others greet me with a nod. Only Gab and Nate are allowed to get too close with me, the others can just fuck off.

"Anybody you'll present?" I ask Gab, reminding him why I agree to this party.

He nods and pull a guy and place him in front of me. I look at him and then to Gab, before raising an eyebrow of disbelief.

"I know, I know. His young and he looks like–" I raise my palm to stop him and gesture towards the door.

"Dude–"

"Seriously? Are you saying he can be a part of us? I know your funny but I can't see where the humour in it is. We're trying to go big and uphold our name and you're bringing me a kid?" My voice calm but cold

"He's not just a kid, he's a genius and he has–" he explains but I stop him with a glare

"I don't need some genius who can solve a quadratic equation in a split second, we are not a bunch of geeks and nerds who just decided to form a group so we can solve world hunger. We're a bunch of teenage boys who have too much time in our hand and too much money with too much rage that we want trouble to come for us. Now, you tell me if you want to drag the boy with us"
