I love you baby.

Chapter 5:

I woke up in an instant. My head hurt, and my eyes were puffy. I knew today would be a bad anxiety day.

I rose on the bed, and instantly began to shake like crazy. Crap. Like a jack rabbit I shot up and went to the dresser that held my anxiety attack medicine. I took three and downed them. Then i went to go and take an advil. It was going to be a long next few days.

I heard the bed squeal as Alex got out of bed.

"hey" He said wrapping his arms around me.

"hey." I said trying to keep the shakiness out of my voice.

"Whats with the anxiety meds, and advil?" He said, like he even had to ask.

"Um. Anxiety attack" I said.

"I'm really sorry, anything I can do to help you out?"

Man I loved this kid. "I don't know today, its the heading up hill climb of an anxiety attack, just got to wait till it dies out."

"Yeah i know, but I don't like seeing you stressed out is all" He whispered still clinging to me.

I pulled away from him, and turned to walk into the bathroom. Closing the door behind me. I undressed and turned the water on me. After I had toweled off and changed, I walked down the steps into the kitchen where Alex, and his mom stood. Staring me down. Crap.

"Um, Good morning?" I said trying to not sound so worried about what they were going to talk to me about.

"Morning." Charlotte said. "So, Alex has told me you're under an anxiety attack." Cue the death glare now getting shot at Alex. "So, I would like to know if this is true." She spoke in a mono tone.

"Well, yes it is true.." I trailed off, my mind racing to think about what to say "But I took some anxiety medicine and Advil, I'll be fine." Forcing the smile on my face. And Alex giving me the you're bullshitting us all look.

"Well alright. Well Kim, I'd like you to know that if you ever need to talk i'll be here for you okay sweetie?"

"I'll keep it in mind, and come to you always." I responded. SHe smiled back at me and then left to go to work.

The moment the door closed. "Nice show Kim."

"What?" i smiled. "I was being honest."

"I repeat, Nice little act there for my mom." He smirked again, walking over to my side.

"Hey, all she needed to know was I took some meds, and i'll be fine in a few days." I paused "And I told the truth."

"Yes, as you bullshitted my mother." He spoke covering his heart with his hand "my own flesh and blood, how could you just tell her lies and give her a show to make her feel better?"

"Oh hush up you drama queen"

"Well, we know who rules this house now." He said puffing out his chest and his head held up high and his arms out.

"Mhm, yes I think its the girl standing in this kitchen who really looks like my friend Alex."

"What is that?" He questioned.

"THe queen of the house. Ruler Alex."

"I hear a challenge."

"Maybe you're hearing right then" Before having time to react I was picked up off the ground and thrown over Alex's shoulder. "ALEX" Laugh "PUT" Laugh "PUT" Laugh "ME" Laugh "DOWN"

"who's the King of the house?" He smirked.

"Alex!!!" I screeched.

"Correct" He put me back down on the ground.
