Cross My Heart I'm Dead

Chapter 8

I walked Alexis up to my room and let her lie down on my bed as I started to clear up my room.

"Try sleep." I ordered.

"Not tired."

"You're also not a five year old."

"But you called me kid. I'm not sleeping."

"Then I'll make you."

"I like to see you try but you won't 'cause you can't 'n' you wouldn't 'cause you don't force people to 'n' 'cause-" I cut her off before she could continue her rambling.

"Do you know what you're saying?"

"I know all what I say and know what I say no."

"Rest your tired little brain and sleep." Was the last thing I said to her before I got in the other side of bed. I was just about to turn over when I felt her hands wrap around my chest.

"'Night Draaaake."

"'Night, Al." I held onto her hand and soon fell fast asleep. Only to be waken up in five hours time.

"Where am I?" Alexis asked as she looked around the room. "Drake?" Her voice was tired and sounded like she had just got out of a coma or something.

"Morning. You got back from a party and were drunk. You were locked out so Mike brought you round here and I let you stay. I'd love you to stay more but my brother and 5 or more guys from his 'gang' are in the other room and they'd kill you if they see you. Did that clear things up?" I told her as I sat up on my bed.

"I'd like to see them try. Thanks for clearing it up and sorry if I was any trouble." I looked down into her tired, dry eyes.

"Nah, you were like a little kid." 

"Crap."

"Ha-ha. Not necessarily a bad thing. Oh.. Al are you alright? I know people usually get hangovers after getting wasted but I think there's something else." I looked at her.

"Yeah, never in a good mood after a party. Are my eyes purple?" She asked as she looked up to me. I looked at her with confusion in my eyes.

"Yeah.. Why?"

"Fuck. Slept with contacts in again." She held her head in her hands and slowly got up. I walked round the bed and helped her steady herself.

"Careful kid." She held onto my arm to balance herself before letting go and wobbling over to the window. "There is a door, y'know."

"This is better. I'll see you later?"

"Sure. Try get some rest." She groaned.

"You're not my dad."

"Yeah.. You really do wake in a bad mood after parties." I muttered before she fled.

"Oh fuck off." She jumped out the window, climbed over the fence and climbed up the wall to her window. As she pulled herself up, her hand slipped but she regained her balance as she sat on the outside ledge of her window. She smiled at me before opening it and jumping inside.

I grinned slightly and went to get dressed in some jeans and a black top.

----Alexis' POV----

As soon as I was in my room I shut the window and flopped down onto my bed. This was the best way to spend a Saturday. Hate yourself because of dry eyes and a hangover. I got up and went to wash my hands and take out the stupid contact lenses that were the idiotic cause of my stupid dry eyes. No, I'm not blind, I'm just short-sighted. I walked back to my bed and put on a random song whilst I rested.
