My New Secret Life

Chapter 14

Dylan O'brien as Justin Canders
...................................................
I read everything my parents had written to me. I wish they weren't dead! I would've loved them. I can imagine living my life with them. Everything I have done would've been five times better. I belive they would never lie to me. I wouldn't have to keep Connor a secret, I could go street fighting with them knowing. They would be proud of me and everything could be perfect.

Alexis, defender of the people. My real name would be Alexis Courtez. It sounds really nice. What if I go and change my name. Today. Maybe I should talk to Connor about it.

"Hi, Connor I need to show you something." I say to him on the phone.
"Ok, I was just about to come so I'll be there in a few minutes." Connor replies.
"Perfect!"

While I was waiting for Connor I started eating. I really didn't know what to do. Should I go and change my name.
God, the other thing I hate the most except pink and girly girls is being confused! When I'm confused I just need to spend all day thinking. Maybe after I talk to Connor I should just go street fighting.

I hear the door open and it was Connor.
"Hey beautiful! What did you have to show me?" He asks.
"Hey handsome! This." I reply as I get the notebook and show the parts that I liked more and then I show him the name Alexis.

"I was thinking....umm......maybe I could change my name to Alexis Courtez?! How does it sound?" I ask Connor.
"Alexis Courtez? It sounds even more badass than Nikole. It's great, I like it." Connor says and that makes me happy. "But are you sure you want to change your name? It's not a desicion you can make in a day, you know?"
"Now, I'm sure. And you don't have to lie to me. Nikole doesn't sound badass at all."
"Well you said it I didn't." He says making me laugh.

We hug each other and after that moment everything I asked Connor he uses the name Alexis for me. Even when we were eating. And I don't know why that made me laugh.

"You really shouldn't laugh. You're gonna change your name and everyone will call you that way. How are you gonna use that name if you can't hear it without laughing?!"
"Okay, okay. I won't laugh anymore."

We eat lunch and I tell him that today I'll go street fighting and tomorrow I'll change my name.

I go street fighting without my hoodie or mask. I was about to tell everyone that I was a girl and they should call me Alexis.

When I arrive at DarkBlue I tell Eddie that he should change my name. At first he doesn't belive me and starts asking questions. I answer each one of them correctly, but I had to show more. I show him some moves that I usually use when I fight and finally he belives me.

"I want to fight with you." I gear a boy behind me talking. I could tell that that wasn't his real voice. He was just changing it and I don't know why!
I turn around and all I could see was someone in a grey hoodie.
"Well someone defenetly wants to loose today." I say with smirk.
"We'll see that." The boy says and I replie:
"We sure will."

We wait till another fight finishes and then we get in the ring.

"WE HAVE OUR CHAMPION, ALEXIS AKA NIK AND EKON, A NEWBIE!" The ring speaker says and after the bell rings we start fighting.

I try to kick him but he blockes it and makes me fall. Wow, he was really good, no one ever has managed to do that to me. He tries to kick me while I was on the ground but I block it too and make him hit the ground. I get up, grab him and punch the guy many times and then push him away. He falls againg but gets up and comes near me. We punch and kick each other many times really fast even the ones that were seeing us couldn't understand. Usually everytime I come to fight it doesn't even take me 10 minutes to win. But seeing how strong this guy is it's making me angry. I do a roundhouse kick on his head really hard and he hits the ground, blood falls from his head and he doesn't get up. Finally I win!

"AND OUR CHAMPION ALEXIS WINS AGAIN!" The ring speaker says.

When we get out of the ring I was about to go get a drink at the place nearby. But I see the man I faught standing in front of me.
"It was worth it fighting with you. You're really strong." I say to him  and as he starts getting of his hoodie slowly saying:
"It was worth it fighting with you too. You've improved, you weren't thus good when you left New York." When he finishes saying this words he takes off his hoodie and I couldn't belive it was him.

"Omfg, Justin!" I yell as I hug him.
"Hey!" He says as he hugs me back. "Okay thus isn't the right question to do right now but.....Alexis? Who the hell is Alexis?"
I start explaining him everything. Even the story I had with Connor. My parents past. How I found that notebook. Except that we start talking about everything else that came to our mind. His mom kicked him out and after that he thought he could come here to meet me.
"I'm really sorry!"
"You don't have to be. It wasn't your fault."
"Where do you stay right now."
"I actully bought a house. Near the high school."
"That's great."
"So, Alexis, meet you tomorrow. Well not at school. I've finished school, but-"
"Justin, it's a small town we'll meet even if we don't want to."
"Well okay. I still have tge same number if you want to call me. Bye!"
"Bye!"

It was already night when I arrive home.
"Hey, I'm home." I yell to Connor.
"I'm in the living room!" He yells back at me.
"Guess what happened today?"
"Ughhh, I'm really tired. I hate guessing when I'm tired. You shouldn't make me guess when I tired. What is it?" He says and I don't know, but the way he said that sounded really wierd. If he was a girl I would just blame the hormones, but he isn't.
"Is everything ok?"
"Just when I was at the gang I ask one of the members to kill someone. He failed and then I had to kill him myself. But because of that stupid douchebag I ordered to kill the victim had understood my plan so he got a bodygard. And I just got hurt that's all. And I'll kill that member." Connor excplains as he shows me where he got hurt. It was on his shoulder.
"My friend took off the bullet."
I couldn't let him stay like that so I get everything I needed to heal his wound.

While I was doing that I tell him what happened today and looked pretty angry.
"Is there any problem?" I ask him.
"Maybe, it depends. Did he touch you? Even accidentally when he wanted to show you something or I don't know? Did he? Did he call you any name? Did he see you in any way he shouldn't?" He asks even more angry than he was.
"What! He may have touched me in the shoulder when he wanted us to start walking. But we're just friends." I excplain to him.
"What if he doesn't think like that. I'm glad you made blood fall from his nose. I don't even want you to see him anymore!" He talks like he was ordering me.
"Why? Nothing will happen' okay? I'm only yours." I say as I kiss him.
"Okay, but be carefull around him."

Before sleeping me and Connor start watching TV and then let ourselves rest.
