Mr. Cinder -slow updates-

Chapter 8

A week later I still couldn't look at Justin the same the way. During dinner I had my head down and focused on eating what I was allowed. Towards the end I felt a hand on my thigh. It caused me to jump a little. Luckily nobody noticed.

At the moment I was sitting on Danny's couch. Getting ready to tell him everything that had happened. And hoping to whoever protected people, he wouldn't want to kill anyone. "Hey Alex, are you okay?" I just realized that I was spacing out. Like I normally do, sighing I look away, my eyes watering, I don't like it when people see me cry. "No. I have something to tell you." my voice barely above a whisper. Huge placed his hand on my shoulder and had me face him, "Alex, it's okay." I knew that he meant it was okay for me to cry, but I just couldn't.

I gave him a little smile and took a deep breath. "Danny, you know that I love you." He looked at me, shock was across his face for a moment but it disappeared quickly. He shook his head as if he was clearing his mind of emotion. "Last week, Justin kinda. Well, he kinda kissed me. Like in that way." I looked away from Danny, feeling guilty for some reason. I know I didn't do anything wrong but I couldn't help but feel bad.

Danny let out a long sigh. He cupped my face and turned it toward him, his grey eyes searching my blue ones. "Alex, please. Don't let him take you from me." His voice sounded desperate, sounded as if he was in pain. I lifted my hand and traced his facial features. I got to lips before I realized what I was doing. I dropped my hand, but Danny had caught it and lifted it to his mouth. Placing a soft kiss before saying, "I love you Alexander Cinder. I'd never let anyone take you from me. Your mine as I am yours." he leaned in and placed a soft kiss on my lips.

Without thinking I wrapped my arms around him and deepened the kiss. Only breaking away to catch my breath. Pulling me into his lap while still kissing me. We break away and he lefts out a small chuckle, "Your getting better at this Alex." his voice husky, his grey eyes darkened with lust. "I have a good teacher." I whisper. He cupped my cheek again and pulled me in for another long passionate kiss.

--- TIME SKIP!!!---
-Beginning of dream-
Walking into the warm house felt odd. Usually people would feel cold coming to place of pain and suffering. I looked around and noticed that the fireplace was lite and there was laughter coming from the kitchen. I feel as if I shouldn't go in there. But without my permission my body began to drift into the kitchen.

Looking around it didn't seem right. It was lifelike instead of the dull feeling it usually has. The table was set for five people instead of the usual three. Rounding the corner I saw three people. My step-mother, Justin, Tyler and...... "Dad?" I heard myself say. It sounded faint. Barely a whisper, but it was loud enough for everyone the hear. Everyone turned to face me, they all seemed happy that I was there, but that wasn't right, was it. I felt my lips tip into a smile at the sight of my dad.

Without hesitation I ran into his arms. "Dad!" I cried out, "I've missed so much." I grabbed his shirt with my fist and just cried. "I've missed you to Alex." he said softly, he kissed the top of my head and pulled back. I wasn't about to let him go. Not after so long of not having him around. "Papa, please don't leave me again!" I cried out. "It's okay my son, I'll always be with you." He kissed my head again and went to sit down at the nicely decorated table. "Come Alex, come sit with the family." Megan said sweetly. Her sons just smiled at me as the three of them sat down. I hesitantly followed them and sat down next to my dad.

He just smiled at me as the food was being passed around. "Alex, I'm proud of you. You've stayed strong since I left you. I wish I didn't have to. Your mom and I both are proud of you. We are proud of the person you've become." My dad said softly, as I felt the cold began to creep in. The lights flickered and the candles went out. "What's going on!" I cried, looking around no one seemed bothered by this event. I looked at my dad, fear in my eyes. "It's okay my son. It's time for us to go. I love you. Be safe. Stay happy." with one last kiss he faded away.
-End of dream-

I woke screaming for my dad. I heard a thud and looked around, I wasn't in my room, I wasn't in the house where I live. "Shit." I heard Danny say in pain. I looked over the edge of the bed to see him sitting there, with a hand on his back. He looked up and panic was on his face, "Alex, are you okay?" he asked as he jumped on the bed and took me into his arms. Holding me close, I just laid my head on his chest an listened to his heart beat. "I'm fine, just a dream." I whispered.

"Alex, please tell me what is going on. Youve been hiding some horrible pain." he cupped my face and had me looking right at him. I felt myself choke back the tears.

"My daf and mom are both dead. My mom died giving birth to me... my dad died because he got sick and stayed sick till he passed away..." i trailed off, taking a deep breath. "Alex you dont have to continue. Im sorry i pushed you." Danny said softly. I shook my head and looked out the window, "Thr doctor said that hr would be fine, that all he needed was some rest and to take the medication that he was told to. But he didnt get better. He just got way way worse. Nothing seemed right, the doctor said he would gdt better. And he died. I knew that my stepmother had something to do with it. She knew that all his money would go to her if he died, and she was the one in charge of his meds." i felt my eyes glass over with tears. I shook my head and took a deep breath. "I had a dream that my dad came back, i was so happy. Then he left again. Leaving me alone. But i woke up and here i am. With you. Im not alone anymore." I looked at Danny to see a gloomy look on his face, he loomed and with a sad smile, "So you go to the cemetery to visit them." he stated, as if he knew all along. I just nodded. I looked passed him and sae that the time read: 12:13 am.... "Shit i gotta go or im dead." i jumped outta bed and ran down the stairs. Luckily i had clothes on "Alex!" i heard Danny yell after me, I pulled on my shoes and ran out the door and down the street. "Alex. Get in the damn car." Danny said from the 1967 Chevy impala that he was driving. I got in and we made our to my prison.. I mean home.
