Fragile (#1 Betrayal At Its Best)

•Chapter 2•

Trust me you wouldn't want to be in my place. After getting to know about my so called 'perfect life' and 'boyfriend', Alex obviously expected me to play the role.

I had interpreted Alex as a creepy person, like a toy who had big eyes and bunny teeth, but inside had a twisted soul. ( I'm just exaggerating right now.) He turned out to be a really nice person.

We spent a lot of time lately, but what sucked was I had to stay in that stuck up room all the time. I was got breakfast, lunch and dinner in bed. I got to watch "restricted" channels on TV and Princess Diaries on the shelf that I assumed belonged to a 12 year old.

Are you kidding me? Most perfect life my foot. But Alex. He made me feel happy. Everyday. He had a good sense of humour and we would just talk about the sneaky times when we bunked college to go McDonalds or just cuddled in bed. Everyone would be jealous cause had managed to get Alex to run behind me and not the other girls. ( Apparently.)

Alex was so clingy. We were just watching Netflix the other day and we decided on watching 'The Vow' and all Alex thought was holding my hand, pulling me close, kissing me now and then. I'm supposed to be feeling butterflies in my gut, but no. Was he really boyfriend? I was supposed to be enjoying dating every girls dream guy and hell he was gorgeous, but no.

I just couldn't get myself to like him even though he made me happy and I felt really sad when I saw him scrunch up his face like a five year old asking for ice cream, so I just went with the flow.

"Alex don't we go to college?", I was started to get curious since we never really talked about myself.

"Of course we do baby.", he was just casually looking through a magazine and I guess trying to avoid my eyes.

"Alex."

"Mhm."

Something was wrong. Why was he avoiding me what in the world.

"Lex.", I finally said and succeeding in making him look up. He was teary-eyed and nodded.

"Hearing that again makes me wanna cycle down the rainbow.", he said which made me giggle.

"It's time. I need answers. I can't be kept in the dark for so long. How long will you avoid my question Alex? Why don't we go to college anymore and why don't you let me out this room? You'll know how it feels when someone traps you in a box."

"A box full of everything you'd ever want. That would be nice."

Was everything a joke for him? "I don't see how it's funny.", I said as I heard him laughing.

"Are you laughing at me?"

"Uh-Huh.", he said in between laughs.

He tried catching his breath while I got close to him, inches from his mouth, " Uh huh?"

He leaned in, that's what I wanted and I tickled him. He screamed rolling around, "Don't you ever laugh at me you son of a bitch."

To this he became silent and silently got up and walked towards the window. Didn't he have a mother?

I creeped behind him and hugged his waist. I shouldn't have said that. "I'm sorry, Lex."

Me calling him that was definitely his point and he finally said, his back still turned to me, "We go to West Parade college. Both of us were dying to get into that college, it was perhaps the best college of Law. That's how we met. Our interests clashed and we fell in love.

We don't go to college anymore because I'm scared. You might black out seeing all the people and the millions of questions. Your best friends come everyday in the hope of seeing you but I never let them. It's too early I thought. But I guess I'm just being selfish."

He loved me. But which friends was he talking about.

"I was just trying to do the right thing for you Em.", he said turning around and hugging me.

"You'll have to tell me all my names because my brain is good as shit right now.", I said to which he laughed.

"Sally, Mirth and Reverie. You four are called the North, South, West and East of Law school. Inseparable apparently."

Their names brought back zero memories like they meant nothing to me.

"Too much for today. Tomorrow's s big day Em. The girls are coming to see you and were going to the Amusement park."

That seemed exciting. Finally I would get out.

"One more thing, which city is this and how old am I?", I asked embarrassed.

"We live in LA and you're ten years old.", he said laughing as I smacked him.

"We're 20 years old Em. Closing in on ending the second year of Law school.", he looked away again aimlessly out of the window.

"I love you.", it aimlessly left my mouth meaning nothing.
