Silence

Chapter 21

Alexis's POV

Throughout the whole time we were watching Patrick Static my mind wandered into my thoughts but thankfully they were about Damian. I kept my eyes on the lap top screen but I wasn't really watching, why did he still like me even after all the shit I have made him go through?

Why is he still by my side when he knows about my fucked up body and mind? Even when I had gone years without talking why did he stay? I internally sigh at all the questions in my head knowing I won't know the answers unless I asked him and there was no way I would be able to do that.

I guess I was biting my lip while thinking because my head was tilted up and Damian cupped my cheek looking into my eyes. "Alex whats wrong? I paused the video like five minutes ago and you didn't notice." I blush a little and look away but he makes me look up at him again. "Tell me what you were thinking about baby." He says soothinly and I just seem to melt.

I bite my lip again and sigh "Why are you still with me? After everything that you now know and that has happened how are you not done with me yet?" I ask quickly. He sighs and pulls me closer "Alexis I care about you too much to just abandon you, you were the girl I have always liked even before the incident with your mother.

"But after what happened I kept my feelings to myself and just helped you as much as I could, not wanting to see you in pain." He gently kisses my forehead. "I will always stay by your side no matter what happens." He adds and I look up at him in shock my eyes starting to water. I bury my head into his chest and cling to his shirt. He chuckles a little and soothingly strokes my hair.

"It will all be okay baby and I will stay with you for all of it." He says quirtly and before I can think I lean up and kiss his soft lips. He responds right away and traces little circles on the small of my back but doesn't do anything else. "Well glad to know you are feeling better."

I pull away from the kiss quickly and look over at the doorway forgetting that we had left the door open. I look at Cassy shyly "Oh uh yea." Damian chuckles and sits up pulling me with him "Next time could you just shut the door?" He asks her and I hide my face since it was bright red.

She rolls her eyes and crosses her arms "Oh shut up, I was here to tell you its been an hour and I don't think we should push our luck." After my dad said I could stay longer Cassy had came in to see how I was doing and I told her what was going on. I sigh knowing she was right and pull out of Damian's arms. Peanut meows and follows me off the bed rubbing against my legs.

I grab my phone and the three of us walk downstairs. "Cassy you should go be with Randy since he hasn't really seen you." I say to her hoping that she will catch on that I want to walk with Damain alone.

She gives me a knowing grin "Yeah you're right, well I'll see you tomorrow Alex." She hugs me and I happily hug her back "Tell Romy that I said goodbye." She nods and me and Damian walk out of the house. I look down at the ground wishing that I didn't have to go back. Me and Damian stay quiet for a little bit but I look up at him whrn he takes my hand in his and laces our fingers together.

"Baby I could stay there with you when we get there if you want." He says looking down at me. I can tell that he looks nervous about leaving me alone with my father and I don't actually blame him since I was scared too. "No its okay, he will ask you to go anyway and I dont want him getting upset. " He nods in agreement but he still looks reluctant.

We walk up to the house but he keeps me close to him pulling me gently against his chest looking into my eyes. "If anything happens please call or text me and make sure to get out of that house. Promise me that you will." He says and I nod. "Of course, I'll text you when I am alone." I say softly a little scared to go in.
