Bruises (Hat Films and Yogscast)

Chapter Nine

(Alisa's POV)

Me and Ross just sat there, enjoying each others company, that is until the door started to open. Ross quickly removed his arm from around my shoulder before the person who was coming in could see. The door fully opened and Alex walked in, not helping the awkward situation. 

"Hey, Alex." I acknowledged, scratching the back of my neck. Alex just rolled his eyes and pointed towards the door. 

"Ross, can I talk to Alisa... please?" He asked, leaning against the door frame. Ross nodded and left the room, leaving me and Alex. " You know... Mom and dad didn't used to be like that..." He said, revealing a book from behind his back. He sat down next to me on my bed and put his arm around me, pulling me closer. 

"W-what do you mean?" I stuttered, confused. All Alex did was chuckle and open the book, revealing pictures of people. "What is this?" I asked, confusion clear in my tone. 

"It's mom and dad... just... not drunk." He explained, pointing to certain pictures. I listened intently as he told stories about just mom and dad having a normal life.

"I have a question... How come you were fine, but when I came along, all they wanted to do was torture me?" I asked him. Alex looked down at me, tears brimming his eyes. 

"I moved out and dad ended up loosing his job, and mom had a crappy job at an office. I guess they got stressed, did you know what, and ended up having you. You were a mistake and mom wanted to give you away, but dad wouldn't allow it. He loved you so much, but he couldn't keep himself together. Since dad wanted you, and mom didn't, they ended up fighting and just wouldn't stop fighting. Eventually things led up to other things, and they became... well... them." Alex said, side hugging me. I never realized that they weren't like this before. I pondered on this for a while until realization hit me. Dad wanted me. He fought for me. I never knew... 

"How did you know about this?" I asked, my voice calm. 

"Me and dad wrote. I was originally born here, but mom and dad wanted to move, so I just moved out with Ross and Trott. Mom had no effort to keep in contact. I don't think you would've been better with mom... I know it's hard to hear this, but, she never really loved you." Alex confessed, shifting uncomfortably. 

"Thank you, Alex. I needed this..." I yawned, leaning into Alex's side. He pulled me closer to him and set the book on my bedside table. He laid down in my bed and I followed. It was now night, therefore making my room dark. Alex pulled the comforter over us both and kissed my forehead, just as I drifted to sleep. 

(Morning...)

I opened my eyes and immediately closed them, the light in my room blinding me. I opened my eyes again, this time adjusting to the morning light. I looked up to see Alex, who was still asleep. I ran my fingers through his fluffy ginger hair, that is until he woke up. His aqua blue eyes looked down at me, a menacing smile on his face. I was about to sit up when- THUD!

"Smiiiiiiiiiith!" I whined from the floor. All that responded was his obnoxious laughter. I rolled my eyes and crawled back onto the bed just as Alex sobered from his laughter. "You're a jerk." I stated, crossing my arms and narrowing my eyes at him.

"You love me." He chuckled, pulling me into a head lock and messing up my hair. I huffed and pushed him off the bed. He fell to the ground and I couldn't help but laugh. 

"Yeah. I do." I smiled. I helped him up from the floor and we headed down stairs together. I was still in my clothes from yesterday and Alex in his. I didn't really mind though, seeing as I was wearing sweat pants and a tank top. When we got to the kitchen, Trott and Ross were already down there. Ross was making coffee and they were just having a quiet conversation. I was about to walk into the kitchen when Alex pulled me back. I was about to sass him when he put a finger to his lips. I nodded and smirked, understanding the plan. They faced away from us and we started towards them. I was quietly making my way towards them, while Alex was having some trouble, him being so tall. We finally got right behind him and I nodded at Alex who was behind Ross. He held up three of his fingers and slowly counted down. 

3...2...1...

"HAY MOTHER TRUCKAS!" We yelled. They both let out a 'girlish' yelp and stopped what they were doing. Trott turned around, fist raised ready to punch, but when he saw it was me, he immediately lowered it. I tried to hold in my laughter, but soon joined Alex on the floor, laughing. 

"You fucking twats!" Trott groaned, pace palming. We continued laughing as they both stomped out of the room. When I finally got a hold of myself I stood up and then helped Alex up. 

"Yeah, don't be a fucking twat, Alex." I laughed, smacking him up side the head. His eyes widened. It was at that moment, I, Alisa, knew I had fucked up.

"Big. Mistake." Alex smirked, stepping forwards. I swiftly stepped besides him and ran out of the kitchen and into the living room, where Ross and Trott had went. The two sat on the couch, arms folded, ready for a show. I started to roll my eyes when Alex walked in, narrowing his eyes at me. 

"SHOOOOOWWWWTTTT!" I slurred, running to my room. Before I could close the door, a hand stopped me and left the door ajar. Soon it was kicked open, Alex standing there, Ross and Trott behind them. Alex soon pounced on me and pinned me to the ground. "Fine. You win." I muttered, blowing a hair out of my face.

"Oh no... It's not that easy..." He smirked. 

"What the hell do you want?" I sassed, raising an eyebrow. 

"Have you made out with Ross?" He asked. He didn't see us... did he?! I felt my cheeks get hot and my eyes widened.

"H-hell no!" I yelled. Alex let out a chuckle and got off from on top of me. 

"I was messing with you. Now get ready, we're going to the office soon." He said, dusting himself off and offering me a hand. 

"Prick..." I muttered as he pulled me to my feet. He walked out the door, laughing. 

Sometimes, I just wanna punch him right in the face.
