Chapter 7: Alex

Chapter7: Alex  

After Hunter left I  went upstairs and crashed I was so tired. I needed to sleep off this very eventful day.        

I'm running in the woods faster and faster with every passing second... I look  down at my feet and see something unexpected. Paws...  

I shoot up in my bed, breathing as though I just ran a mile. My bed is damp with sweat. Woah... This is so weird.   

I look outside my window, still dark out. I take a deep breathe in and push off my blankets.  

My throat feels dry. I get up open my door to go downstairs to the kitchen. I walk past the living room where I see Allen passed out on the couch with a book over his head. 

  I shake my head and smile. He tries so much to be the lawyer our parents always wanted him to be.    I walk to the frig and grab a water bottle. I sit on the counter and chug the cold water. It quenches my thirst completely. 

  I hop of the counter to go upstairs and I hear a small knock at the back door. I freeze.  

Who is here? Maybe it's just a tree or something. Then I hear it again.  

I hesitantly take a step to the door. Getting closer I hear another knock. There is a shade covering the door so I can't see if anyone is out there.   

My hand shakily grabs for the string to lift the shad. On the count of 3...  

1.

2..  

3...  

I pull up the shad and almost faint on site.  

"JARED!" I scream, then realizing my brother was in the other room.   

He was standing there. At my door. In the middle of night. What?  

He mouths "Can we talk?". Fuck no we can't! I am done with him!  

But then again I want to know what he has to say...  

I glance over at Allen, still fast asleep. I give him a look to back up and I slip through the door to the freezing outside.   

"Jared... What are you doing here?" I say shivering as a gust of wind blows by.  

"Oh here your cold." He takes off his varsity jacket and wraps it around  my shoulders. I would have threw it in the mud and cursed him off for thinking it was alright for him to give it to me after what happened today, but I am only wearing shorts and a tee.   

"What do you want?" I say harshly.   

"I want you back. I said some horrible things and I didn't mean any of them. Your the one I love and if you want to wait for sex we can wait."  

I stand there in shock. Is he serious? After what he did. Oh I'm going to let him have it! But before I can I hear the door behind me click open. I see Allen half asleep at the door staring at us like we have seven heads or something.  

"Hi Jared... Um what are you doing here?" Allen asks. He look like he just came out of a bar or something. His clothes were all wrinkled and half his shirt was untucked out of his work pants.  

"I ... Uh .... I" Jared always stutters like a big baby when an adult or coach talks to him. I cut him off before he hurts himself.  

"Actually he was just leaving." I gave him a death glare and handed him his jacket back. He stood there in shock as I walked back in the house and lowered the shad over the door.
