Let's continue shall we? 😉

Alex up there

Alexander's POV

  I woke up the next morning nervous as hell. I haven't been to school in about three months so lord knows what I should expect. Has everyone heard about my disappearance? Do I still have the same locker? Hell do I even have the same seat in my classes any more? "Are you up kid?" Jordan asked knocking on my door, breaking me from my thoughts. "Yeah I am. I'm about to get dressed now." I said getting out of my bed. "OK well when you're finished, breakfast will be downstairs waiting for you." he said. "Jordan cooking for other people? Say it ain't so." I said faking a gasp. "Shut up light bright. Hurry up or I'm eating your food." he said.

  I quickly got dressed (of course I did my normal hygiene routine as well. How many times do y'all read about me brushing my teeth, taking a shower and allat? It's boring) and made my way downstairs. "Listen Alex, you can stay home if you want to. You don't have to go to school today." Mariah said. I guess she could see the nervousness written all over my face. "It's OK I'm fine. Just feels like It's my first day of school all over again that's all." I said reassuring her. "Oh and we kept your promise and didn't tell anyone about us finding you or your return to school today." Jordan added. Yes, I made them promise not to tell Sage, Aurora and David about finding me or me coming today, I wanted it to be a surprise. They did tell the police though and just asked them to play along until I decided I was gonna show up.

  "Thanks you two. I'm truly lucky to have siblings like you." I smiled. "Yeah. Yeah. Yeah whatever chump. Eat your food before I do because those pancakes are looking mighty good from over here." Jordan said rubbing his hands together. "Touch my food and I will stab you." I said taking a bite out of my food. "Jordan this is so good. Of course it's not better then my food but you a close third." I said, continuing to eat. "Wait who's second? You know how to cook? You cooking tonight?" he asked all at once. "Mariah is,  yes and I'll see." I said answering all of his questions at once. "Whatever are you ready to go?" he asked as I finished my food. "Someone is salty this morning." Mariah said laughing. "I still love you Jordan. Let's go." I said as I threw the trash away (paper plates for the win. It's too early for dishes) and grabbed my book bag. On the way to school, we mostly made jokes about each other and made a pit stop at Dunkin for their coffee. 

  It was nice to see them smiling again. It was like a huge weight was lifted off of their shoulders and could finally relax. When we made it to my school, they made sure that this is what I wanted to do. "Yes I sure. I want to start today, plus we're already here so why not." I said. "OK well if you feel even the slightest bit of uncomfortable or even overwhelmed, call us." Mariah said. "You know they will be back here soon and they will come looking for you so the moment you see them, go somewhere safe and call us." Jordan said. They both were staring at me with a serious expression. "I got ya. I promise I'll be safe. Go to school and learn something so you can tell me about it when we get home. Good bye." I smiled as I was leaving the car. A few seconds later, I got a text from Mariah that said they meant what they said. I laughed as I walked into the building. Here goes nothing. 

  As soon as I walked in, everyone stopped talking and looked dead in my direction. To be honest, I felt a little weird. Then, the silence turned into cheers as they all clapped and said my name. I was bombarded with hugs and handshakes along with various welcome backs. "What's going on? Why is everyone saying Alex?" I heard a voice say. "Move!" someone else yelled as everyone moved out of the way. There stood my babies Sage and Aurora. They looked at me with disbelief, almost as if they were looking at a ghost or something. "Did you miss me? I surely missed you!" I said smiling at them both. "Alex!" They both said, standing there with tears falling down their face. "are you guy gonna stand there and cry or are you gonna give me a hug so you know it's really me?" I asked them. A few seconds later and they both came running towards me.
