It's not just complicated, it's a disaster

Disaster (Chapter Fourteen)

Chapter Fourteen

Zeke’s P.O.V

“Wait, go over it again?” I asked Blake.

Blake sighed slightly. “I thought Alex would be civilized about it… and she just snapped. Said he wasn’t her father and stormed out of the house.”

“Yeah, and she didn’t return until like three in the morning. The only reason I know that is because I was up throwing up this morning,” Tara said.

“What did her father do?” I frowned.

“Apologised to us, and left the room,” Blake answered. “We didn't get a chance to tell her about…”

“… My pregnancy,” Tara butted in.

“So he doesn’t know yet, and neither does Claire?” I clarified.

“No,” Tara answered. “Anyway… look, we’re telling you this because we think you should keep away from Alex for a little while. Just a week…. Let her calm down… you’ll have no chance trying to get through to her right now.”

“Fine,” I shrugged. “This is barely working anyway.”

“Don’t give up,” Blake said quickly.

“Blake’s right, don’t give up until you know there’s no hope,” Tara said.

“Thanks,” I muttered. “I’ll see you guys later.”

“Bye,” Tara muttered, as Blake took her hand and they walked down the hall.

I felt angry… and maybe I just felt like that because I was being separated from Alex… again, but the whole father thing just confirmed that there seriously was something wrong with Alex. I sighed and started walking down hall. I wasn’t really looking where I was going, paying attention to anyone, so when I heard a voice I jumped.

“You’re little ex-girlfriend will be interesting to tap,” a voice whispered into my ear.

I knew that voice, and I felt myself snap. I grabbed hold of Austin’s shirt, used it to pull and him slam him against the locker. Even though I had definitely just hurt him he still had a smug look on his face. I just made me want to punch him a little more.

“Touch her and it’ll be the last thing you ever do,” I threatened him.

“Just try me, emo boy,” he said.

I felt my temper flare and I shoved him against the locker again, doing more damage than I did last time. That one got to me.... he used the old nickname Alex used for me.

“Don’t call me that,” I hissed at him.

“Or what? You can’t stop me from doing anything... and you definitely can’t stop me from sleeping with Alex.”

That was it. Something just snapped inside me. I threw the first punch. I put as much power into it as I could and I hit the spot right near his eye and his nose. Unfortunately he then caught me off guard and got me literally right in the eye. I was quickly to came back, and I grabbed him by the shirt and threw another punch.

It was just punch after punch after punch, both of us getting weaker each time. I was aware of the sound of people around us, they were definitely all watching, but there was one voice I didn’t expect to hear.

“ZEKE!!! Zeke, stop it!!!”

I then became aware that Alex was trying to pull Austin and me a part. I felt her hand on my chest and she pushed me back and then looked up to see Alex push Austin into the lockers. My brain still wasn’t thinking straight and I used this to try run at him and get another punch him. Alex was quick though and pushed me back before I get close.
