Divine Complement

Chapter Twenty Four

Adrian's POV

Okay, so it was the day before the play, and Acacia, still, can barley talk. Her mom has been trying different remidies to help, but none of them seem to work. 

"Guys, this is the very last one." Clara huffed and showed us what she had.

Alex, Evan, Clara, Acacia, and I were all in the kitchen trying to help Acacia get her voice back. We tried everything from gargleing with salt water, to using a humidifier. We even went to the doctor, but even his medacine didn't work. 

The thing Clara had was a heating pad and popsicle. "No intention to offend you Clara, but what are these things supposed to do?" Alex asked scrunching his eyebrows in confusion. What a dumbass. Now, before you go saying bad shit about me, let me explain. Alex has been hanging out with Acacia a lot more, and its getting me pissed off. I'm pretty sure she likes him too. But, I'm hoping that what Tiffany said will work. 

I've been trying to keep it a secret from her, but I just can't help it. I almost spilled it when we were eating lunch. 

"It's supposed to clear most of the things stuck in her throat, and help the aching go away." She replied. Clara held the heating pad above her neck and placed it down gently, after that, she gave Acacia the blueberry flavored popsicles. "Now, eat both of these, and keep the heating pad on for a hour. Do not talk, and no phone. You need as much sleep you can get. Boys, you can relax in the livingroom until she wakes up." Clara said pointing at all of us. We nodded and saluted her. "Yes ma'm!"  We yelled and marched out of the room. We can hear them laughing from the kitchen. A few moments later Acacia waved goodbye and went to her room. 

"So, you scared for tomorrow?" Evan asked turning on the X-Box.

"Me? Adrian? Scared? Bro, have you met me? I don't get scared for nothing." I smirked turning my attention to the TV. But in reality, I was about to shit my pants. Everybody in the town was coming to the play, even my parents, and even that's scary. The whole school was praying for Acacia to get better, because before all this happened, Tiffany wasn't practicing because she thought Acacia had it all in the bag, but now, she doesn't even know the first two lines. 

"Really? Are you sure?" He questioned popping a handful of chips in his mouth.

"Of course. Why wouldn't I be sure?" For fucks sake, leave me alone.

"Because you look like, you're about to shit your pants." Am I that easy to read?

"I'm fine." I paused, turning my attention to Alex. "So what's up with you and Acacia?" 

"Nothing." He blushed. The hell is wrong with this kid? 

"No tell me." I demanded growing angry.

"Well, I asked her on a date, and she said yes. No big deal." He rolled his eyes and continued the game.

Wait. She said yes? Why the hell didn't he tell me earlier? Not like I can do anything. They're probably gonna start going out, then get married, and have babies. Ugh. How ugly will their babies look? Not because of Acacia, because of him. Damn. I feel bad. Not to be brag or anything, but me and her, will have the cutest babies. I sound like a fucking girl. This is what I get when I hang around Chase. Yes, we hung out, but that was only one time, and that was when I went to find infromation about her. I'm not a stalker. Okay? Let it go. And, to answer your other question, yes, I do know he's gay. 

"Oh, cool." I said fake smiling. "Why'd you ask anyways?" He then paused the game and stole the 'Lays' chip bag from Evan. 

"Just curious." I simply replied and laughed at the both of them. I turned my gaze to Alex and saw he had a a expression on, that made it look like he wanted to ask something. 

"You okay?" I asked sipping on my soda. 

"Not really. Can I ask you something?" I knew it.

"Sure." I said.

"Can you maybe, not kiss Acacia tomorrow?" He asked looking down at his fingers. Is this dude serious?

"You do know that I can't do that? It's for the play. I kinda have to." I replied standing up. He followed. "W-well I kind of wanted to be her first kiss." He said blushing. 

If he only knew.... 

"I'm gonna kiss her, and that's final dude." I said looking over at Evan, who by the way was gone.

"Ugh. Fine. But, she's mine." He replied getting his stuff and walking out te house.

I rolled my eyes and sat back down. If anything, he's the love sick puppy....
