Bad Guy Gone Good (BOYXBOY)

Guardian Angel

Chapter 6: Guardian Angel

So turns out my guardian angel is my best friend's brother, and I'm hearing about this four months after we became friends. Obviously, Eli has some kind of retard in him, I always knew there was something wrong with that idiot.

What does this mean? Are we going to continue this act of which we all know is never going to work out. Eli and his family obviously have problems, not that I know much of it. He's worried all the time and fails to hide the fact that his brother is the primary source. Alec being my guardian angel might not be such a good thing, what if he's unstable or unable to go through with it, it might make it worse for not only him but me too. I'm really eager to do better and all I want is someone who is more stable than me.

Nonetheless, I got in the back of the car, I didn't have time to bail now. We'll see how it goes today and then, after I've had time to think, I can decide whether or not I should do anything about it.

"Where is Jax?" Eli asked after he drove out of the schools parking lot.

"I don't know, man. He said something about walking home, I don't think he's very excited about my new mentor." I answered, making Alec snort.

Elijah drove us back to my place and left after dropping us off. He didn't want to get in the way and told Alec that they would talk when he got home.

We got in, took our shoes off and headed upstairs to my room. After slumping down on my bed, Alec took a seat in the chair behind my desk. He rolled the chair around so he was facing me.

"Well, this is kinda weird..." He mumbled quietly.

"Ya don't say." I looked at him, my brows furrowed like I was trying to figure him out.

"Whatever he's told you about me is a lie, so you can stop looking at me like that." He stated quietly, while grabbing what I assume is his chemistry books. I hesitated at first. Should I just tell him? That I'm worried about his condition. Would he get mad? I know nothing about this guy and I feel like he know me better than I do.

"What do you mean?" I asked averting my eyes, not sure if I should've continued the conversation.

"Well, you know. He's probably said things about me, but they're not true. I've gotten better" he said, looking for something in my eyes. It was like he waited for me to understand what he was saying, but I didn't. I mean, Eli told me that they had problems, but not much else.

"I don't understand?" I questioned. He took off his jacket, but kept his hoodie on. When he took off his jacket, a small part of his tattooed arm showed but he swiftly covered it up with his hoodie. He placed his jacket behind him on the chair.

"Oh... Well never mind then. Forget everything I just said" he said waving a hand, "just forget it." He added when he saw I was looking at him puzzled still.

Should I? Just forget and move on. That would lead to me not trusting him and having to get a new guardian angel. I could easily do that. But then why did I do what I did next.

"I don't think I can." I said abruptly. Not even thinking twice about it. I somehow wanted this to work. The pact that I have with Alec, I wanted it to continue. I blame his skills in math from yesterday.

"Look, we have a lot to do, we're not only doing chemistry, but also changing your looks, and I imaging that taking a while. We don't have time for my life story right now, okay?"
