Alexus POV

I wake up in my new room next to Blake. When Cass and Blake helped me move, they kinda found all my blades so I don't have them anymore. I got up and realized I was in booty shorts, they were practically under wear they were so short, and I had a sports bra on.

I got up and stretched. I opened the door to Cassie's room and I see her changing. "Well hello there." I say laughing. "O god." She said and turned around. "Hi." She adds. I laugh. I close my door and walk to my dresser. I grabbed a pair of running shorts and slipped off my sleep ones to put them on.

"Where are you going?" Blake asks. "On a run." I answer. "In that? People will stare. No. Your mine put a shirt on." Blake says and makes me laugh. I shake my head no. I grab a pair of socks and put them on. I picked my black pair of Adidas and walk out.

"Where are you going?" Cassie asks. "On a run." I answer sweet and short. "Where?" She asks. "Sydney Australia." I answer. "Child I will slap you. Where are you going?" She says. "I told you, I'm going on a run." I say making sure she knows I'm annoyed. I walk out her door and walk to the stairs.

I hear people downstairs so run quickly to the door. I closed the door and ran down the long driveway. I turned right when I got to the road. I quickly found my way out of tumble wood.

I was planing on going to my aunts house. My cousin was home from the navy and I want to see him.

Let's just say Blake was right. People did stare at me. When I got to the long dirt road, I ran down about 4 miles and then found my aunts house. I saw my cousins white, jeep wrangler in the driveway so I knew he was home.

I walked in to see my cousin Zavior standing by my aunt. "Z!" I exclaim. I ran over to him and gave him a tight hug. It's my dream to be in the military. I plan on joining...if I live that long.

"Bee!" He yells. We have nicknames for each other. I have called him Z since I could talk. He's only 3 years older then me. He tried to copy me and would call me Bee, so we've called each other those our whole life. "Hi aunt Jenifer." I say and hug my aunt.

"Mom, me and bee are gonna go upstairs to my room." He says. My aunt nods. We walk upstairs to his room. I sit down on his king sized bed.

"Bee, how old are you now?" He asks. "17." I answer smiling. "That means I'm 20." He says jokingly. He hands me a shirt. "Put it on. Your a pretty girl. Bad things can happen to you." He says. The shirt is a tee which is army print with RUCK: US NAVY written in big black letters on the back. I put it on and look at him.

"Where's your dad and Alice?" He asks. Flashbacks started racing through my head. Its the day my dad died. I remembered the tears. "Bee?" He asks, snapping me out of it. "They-they died." I say feeling tears threatening to spill out. Z doesn't even ask how. He just hugs me.

"Okay. Well another topic." Z says wiping away my tears. "Do you have a boyfriend?" He asks. A smile spreads across my face. "Yea." I say. "Can I meet him?" He asks. "Wanna go on a run?" I answer back with a question. "Um hell no. We'll take my jeep." He says. I nod.

We walk outside and before we leave Z tells his mom that we're leaving. We ride the 20 minute drive back to Cassie's house where Blake is and park the jeep.

I get out with Z following me. I walk up to the door and open it wide. I see Cassie and Blake standing upstairs and I quickly run up there. "Hi baby girl." Blake says hugging me tight. He let's go of me. "Who's this?" Cassie says pointing to Z. "This is Zavior, my cousin. He got back from the navy today. He's 20." I add. I could see Cassie checking him out so I added that. Her and Jake broke up 3 days ago. Long story short, Jakes face is black and blue now.

Z nods. "Is that your boyfriend?" Z asks pointing to Blake. Blake answers before I can. "The one and only." I laugh. "Okay, listen here. If you hurt my baby cousin, there will no longer be a pretty boy. I've been in the military for 3 years now. I know how to kill a guy and make it look like a accident." Z says. I smack him. "Z. There's no point in scaring off my boyfriend." I whine. "Bee, he needed to know." He says. I roll my eyes.

We walk to mine/Cassie's room. I leave cassie and Z together in her part of the room and go into my part. Blake follows me. He gabs my waist from behind and pulls me closer. "I love you so much. I can't wait till we can get married. Maybe I can convince you to having kids." Blake says with a smirk. "Blake, you know I absolutely hate kids." I laugh. "I know. I know. But could you imagine like me and yous running around?" Blake asks. "Blake that would be awesome. But you know I hate kids." I answer. "Baby girl, it's different when they're your own kids." He said. "Blake, were 17 years old. Let's wait a little till we talk about this. We still have college, and I still want to join the military." I say. "Alexus, I know. I'm sorry I brought it up now. I'll wait, if you'll wait." He says. "I'll wait" I say nodding.

Blake sat down on my bed and I happened to get a glance of his wrist which was covered in new cuts. "B-blake?" I ask. "What is it baby?" He asks me. "What- what's on your wr-wrist?" I ask. He quickly moves it behind him. "Nothing baby." He answers. "Blake I know I saw something. Why did you do it?" I ask. It took him a minute to think. "Alexus, I love you. When 'you' broke up with me, I didn't know what to do. I just couldn't handle it. I thought you really loved me, but when i got that text, I lost it. All I wanted to do was die. So I tried killing myself." He answers looking at his feet. I walked over to him and hugged him tight. "Blake, you know that wasn't me. I would never do that. Your the only person I've loved this much and this long." I say. "Alexus I didn't know it wasn't you until Cassie told me. I just- Alexus I love you so much. I don't know where I would be right now if I never met you. You've fucking talked me out of killing myself so many times. I've loved you since I first met you. I'm sorry." He says. I let go of my grip on him and get up. "Just promise me it'll never happen again." I say. He nods. "I promise." He says.

I get up and walk into Cassie's part of the room to see her and Z making out. "Was not expecting to walk into that." I said. They stopped and both looked at me. "Um sorry. Wasn't expecting you to walk in." Cassie says. I make a fake gagging noise and turn around

I think love is gross. Cassie always makes fun of me for it. I mean, I'm completely in love with Blake and we kiss and junk like that all the time, but I think its only okay for me to be all lovey dovey mushy gushy. When other people show their love, I want to throw up on them.

"Okay. Well I'll leave you two to do what you were doing. Um bye." I say and walk back into my room.
