GamerGirl Chapter 22 Argument

Alexis' POV

I walked upstairs upset. This whole situation sucked. It fucking sucked. I felt so bad for Ross. I can't even begin to imagine the pain he's feeling, but I'm going to assume it's like mine.

I can't imagine the pain Bailey must be feeling. To find out your mom has cancer, ouch.

I stepped inside my room, shut the door, and flopped onto my bed. I lied my head on my pillow, and I was sniffling. I decided to just sleep for a bit, and if I couldn't sleep, just take a rest.

*_________*

I woke up and saw that some patches of my pillow were black. It must've been makeup that dripped off.

I decided to dress into pajamas. I put on camouflage pajama shorts, and just a random t-shirt. Eventually, I placed my hair in a ponytail and wiped my face. I think I was ready to go downstairs.

I started to venture out. I stopped once I heard yelling again, the same yelling I heard a couple of weeks ago.

"Smith, if you wanna' go away in a few months, you'd have to do some editing there!"

"I'm okay with that! I don't know if she would be! I don't want her to feel like I'm ignoring her for work!"

Then it stopped. It was Chris and Alex, I know that. I'm confused though, her? Who's her? Me? It has to be me. Are these fights my fault?

I then heard Trott speak again.

He sighed, then began. "Smith, I'm sure if you explained yourself, she'd believe you."

"I know, and you're probably right, but you can't be sure, Trott."

"I wish this was over already."

"Sorry, mate."

"That came out wrong, Smith. It's not your fault."

"Then who's fault is it for these outbursts, huh?"

There was silence, but now I'm curious. I know I'm probably a bitch for listening in on this.

"Um, um, I'm not sure." He continued, "I'd say it's Ross's fault." He was being sarcastic, I could hear the smile he had on his face right now.

I heard Ross yell - although it was slightly muffled - too. I guess he might have been in the kitchen.

Alex focused Trott back on the conversation. "I'm serious, Chris."

Chris? He called him, Chris?

I heard nothing but silence, and then Trott sighed.

"You're right. What is she doing anyway? Didn't she say she'd come back down?"

"Yeah, I'll go check on her."

I felt my body freeze. I ran back into my room and pretended to scroll on my phone.

Alex walked in and sighed. "You were listening, weren't you?"

"Listening to what?" I don't think he was buying it.

"Me and Trott."

"Were you two talking?"

"Lex, the door is open."

Fuck.

I sighed. "Okay, I was listening." I looked down, feeling guilty.

I heard Alex sigh also. "I'm sorry you had to hear that."

"Why are you fighting again? What is it about this time?"

"It's about the same thing," replied Alex.

"Which is?" I stared at him for a second, obviously waiting for an answer.

"Um, uh, I can't say."

"Kermie, you can tell me anything."

"Like to stop using that nickname?"

I gave him a dirty look and said, "Just tell me what you were fighting about!"

"I can't! I've said this already!"

"Why can't you tell me?!"

"I just can't! Okay?!"

I looked at Alex, hurt. I can't fucking believe that he won't tell me why him and one of his best friends are fighting.

He continued to speak, this time much calmer. "Love, I'm sorry. It's just, that, this is something I can't tell a lot of people about, at least not now."

I just looked at the ground, deep in thought. I'm not entirely sure of what to say. I hear Alex walk over.

"I'm sorry," he said. I looked up and saw that he was somewhat pouting. "I shouldn't be stressing you out more than you already are."

He had his arms wide open, and I began to debate whether or not to hug him. I wasn't really sure why I was debating it though. He apologized, and it seemed genuine.

I looked at the carpet once again, deciding. I just glanced at him disappointed, and back to the carpet. I was mad at him, sure, but he looked so sincere.

I couldn't hug him right now though.

He made me beyond furious with this shit, and I know I should trust him, but he should trust me enough to tell me what is up.

I looked at him again and watched as he slowly dropped his arms. He looked upset and confused. He came over and placed his hand in my shoulder. I quickly jerked away from his touch and turned towards the wall.

"Lex?"

I didn't answer him. He knew I was angry.

"Look, I'm sorry, but this is a huge secret. I have only told Trott and Ross, and that was only because I had to."

I continued to stare at the wall, but I was listening to every word that poured out of his mouth.

"I know you're mad, and I would be too, but you have to trust me-"

"No, Alex! You have to trust me! I find it absolutely ridiculous that you can't tell me about this little secret, it pisses me off!"

"Lex, I-"

"Oh, I'm not done. I get that I should trust you, but you need to trust me too!"

I stared at him until he spoke again.

"Lex, I trust you more than anyone in the entire world. This secret though, I absolutely cannot tell you about it yet. I promise I will tell you sooner or later, but not now."

I take a deep breath and slowly hug him. I felt him squeeze tightly around me, almost as if he was relieved.

"I love you, Alexis."

I sigh and sincerely say, "I love you too, Alex."

Author's Note

Hey Hatters and Yognau(gh)ts! I am SO sorry this took so long to come out. I honestly have no other excuse than I never got around to writing it, and I'm a bit lazy. Anyway, as always, good day!
