ELI'S POV

Today is one of the hell days for me. It's bonding time---with family. As if they're coming home early, much to my expect they wouldn't, and they will try to catch the midnight for us, no thanks! I have so many things to do and think about.

I'm staying at my room wondering what will happen to my world at this very hour, looking at my laptop which blinks every notifications I have. Nothing's new. On a certain moment someone chatted.

~Have you already had your breakfast? :)

Alex McClauren.

My heart leaps but suddenly it goes away, I got irritated. Ugh! I looked at myself on the mirror and I stroked my hair, Is this the life that is made for me? I wish this wasn't me!

My life should be full of excitement, I even wish to wake up everyday with a smile on my face, but instead, madness. I can say this things to my parents because I know they'll just get angry and confiscate my gadgets.

"Eli! I can't find my IPad, do you have it?" Ashton shouted behind the door.

"No!!"

"Can I go through your stuff?"

"No!!"

"Please."

This time, I hurriedly slipped into my dress, fit doll shoes and brought my bag. I opened the door and raced to my car.

"Where are you------wait!" Ashton called.

Hour passed when I don't know where am I going. One thing that comes to my mind, where Alex went to ease his problem. The Bridge. But it's day, there will be no lights. Nevermind, atleast, I've gone far from that house. I turned off my phone as I get near the bridge.

Standing on the center side of it, I thought about Alex, how can he handle his problem at the same time socializing with people. Walking to the other side of it, I stopped when I saw a guy with a woman sitting on a wheel chair.

Tears suddenly escaped from my eyes. I covered my eyes with my both hands as I wiped my tears. Why can't that guy be like me?

"Ehem!"

I looked, it's someone's hands, holding a blue handkerchief, it was a guy. I reached the handkerchief but the guy was too fast move his hands, I can hear his chuckle too.

"Are you even jo-------"

"I hope you called me, if you want to go here." He finally gave the handkerchief.

"Alex."

"Why are you crying?"

"It was none of your business! And I don't even have to call you whenever I want to go somewhere!"

"Okay..but you know, they say that when you want to release your problem throw a rock on the river and shout it!"

"It won't work on me!"

"Try it." He winked.

I walked somewhere, where many tiny rocks are placed.

"I HATE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!" I threw the rock.

"I DON'T BELIEVE YOU WITH WHATEVER YOU SAY!!!!!!!!" I threw again.

Alex is also shouting with me.

"LIAR! LIAR! LIAR!!!!!" I can feel my knees trembling.

Before I sit on the bridge ground, Alex held me tight around my waist, and hugged me. We stayed like that for minutes, when a woman called him.

"Alex!!!"
