Falling Skies

Falling Skies - Part 16

----------

YES I'M STILL ALIVE.

Its been a long time.... 

I'm sorry I haven't updated... If we're being honest its because I've been binge watching several shows on Netflix... 

*Fake ashamed pout*

Anyways, I wrote this a LONG while ago, I just didn't post it, so if it sucks... I'll be cringing with you.

The picture is Karmen btw.

*Monday*

Adam dropped me off at home after getting ice cream yesterday. Hank didn't seem too pleased I didn't give him a heads up (Which I did). Thankfully though, he and my mom were gone for the week.

Anyways, today was a teacher's day so none of us had to be at school – which I was thankful of.

I was now in my room sitting on my bed and talking with Bobby. Jack was also over but he was downstairs searching for food, so I thought.

He popped his head in my room, "Hey, Alex is around town, he's going to come over." Jack said, holding his phone to his ear.

"Fine by me," I said, playing with Bobby's fingers, smiling, "I miss that dork."

Jack nodded and walked out of the room, talking in his phone.

"Who's Alex?" Bobby asked me.

"Someone in Jack's band; also my best friend," I said.

"Ahh." Bobby nodded in understanding.

We sat on my bed for a while in comfortable silence, until there was a loud honking outside, "Well, Alex is here." I said, getting up off the bed, looking out the window. But what I saw made my smile fade away into an angry, sad, confused frown.

I looked out the window to see Alex, but someone else too. That someone met Alex at the front of his car, intertwining their fingers with his.

I swiftly looked at Bobby; I had a plan, "Call your sister, please."

"Why?" she asked.

"I'll explain later... just... please." I told her, even though I probably wouldn't explain later... because this plan had something to do with pretending I was straight.

She agreed and called Micky to come get her, all while I told Adam to come over.

I wanted to make sure Bobby didn't see what I was about to do.

Creeping down the stairs I made sure Alex and his 'friend' didn't see Bobby and I. I quickly rushed Bobby out the door and I walked out with her. Micky sat in her car waiting. Hugging Bobby, I apologized a thousand times and told her I'd explain later; I just didn't want her to see Adam and I... together. After Micky pulled out, I walked in the house and went to find Jack. Him, Alex and... ugh... sat in my living room. Quickly I called Jack out of the room.

"Can you do me a huge favor and pretend I'm straight... please?" I begged.

"Done," Jack said, "I saw who Alex walked in with... don't fear, your hero is here!"

I laughed and asked him to somehow tell Alex without... that... hearing. He nodded and walked back in the room.

About a minute later, the doorbell rang. Quickly I opened the door and there stood Adam, "Hey!" I smiled and hugged him.
