City Lights

Chapter 24

(Adam's POV)

We were sitting on the floor and Alexis was putting mascara on me. "okay open your eyes" she said. "oh god, i can't open my eyes! They're glued shut! Alex you're so dead!" I shouted playfully. Alexis giggled while I slowly opened my eyes. How did girls do this? Alexis then put blush on my cheeks, which I didnt need because she could make me blush so easily, and lastly lipstick. My lips felt like they had glue or something sticky on them. I licked my lips "ugh! I thought this stuff was supposed to taste good!" I laughed. Alexis smiled and shook her head "You're not even supposed to lick ot you dork." I smiled "but Im a cute one" I said laughing while Alexis rolled her eyes and smiled.

She handed me a mirror. I looked and opened my mouth sarcastically "Im so beautiful!" I screeched trying to sound like a girl. My eyes were actually even more blue because of the black mascara and eyeliner and my swollen eye was fading to a greenish color. My cheeks were so red and my lips were glossy, it kind of covered my busted lip. I looked over at Alexis and she laughed "y-you're such a girl" she tried to say inbetween laughing. She was so beautiful when she laughed. I noticed all of the little things like how she got red, which she hated, but I thought was cute. How she closed her eyes and covered her mouth. She was so perfect.

The song changed to 'A Team' by Ed Sheeran. Alexis looked down and played with her bandages, she always did that when she was nervous. She looked back up at me "Adam... What happened between you and Michael?" she asked quietly. I felt my fists clench but I relaxed as soon as I heard her voice again. "I kind of realized that your face is all bruised, its a little obvious" she said smiling. She was trying to make me feel better and I couldnt deny that it was working. "Well I might have punched him first and then he fought back, but to sum it all up he kicked me in the head and I passed out on Asher's front lawn" I said shrugging. "Im sorry" Alexis said looking down. I put my hand under her chin and lifted her head so that she was looking at me. "Its not your fault" I said with a straight face. I wanted her to believe me. Then I saw her mouth turn up at the corners and the next thing I knew she was laughing. I furrowed my eyebrows questioning her. "I-Im sorry, I cant... Take you seriously w-with makeup on" she laughed. I smiled and shook my head then tickled her.

I got up to wash my face. When I walked into Alexis' bathroom I washed my face and looked for a towel. I opened a drawer and something caught my eye that broke my heart. A clear bag with metal objects in it. I pulled one of the objects out... A razor. At first I thought 'maybe they are for something else, Im worrying too much' but I saw blood stains on them. I started crying quietly 'why? Why would she keep these if she had stopped?... Unless she hasnt.' I thought. I wasnt just going to put them back, I had an idea. I took out all of the razors and flushed them. I then took a peice of paper from another drawer. She wasnt going to do this to herself anymore... Not as long as I was alive.

I walked back into Alexis' room and found her asleep on the blankets we had laid on the floor. She was so beautiful even when she was asleep. I walked over to her and picked her up then laid her in bed. I pulled out my phone and texted my mom.

'Hey mom, Im staying the night at Alexis'. I have to be here for her right now, you may not understand but please, Im sorry about last night, I knlw Im grounded but I cant leave her alone... not now...when she needs me the most. I love her and I love you too.

-Adam xo'

I turned my phone off so no one could call me. I then laid beside Alexis and wrapped my arm around her and kissed her forehead. I looked at her and moved her hair from her face, she looked so peaceful. "I still love you Alexis Lyle" I whispered "I always will, I'll never love anyone else, I'll die loving you and I swear Im never going to let anyone or anything hurt you... ever. I cant stop thinking about you and even if I spend the whole day with you, I'll miss you the second we're apart. I am in love with you Alex... I always will be...you are the reason Im alive, my home, my life, my everything... I love you Alexis" It felt like I had let out so much but not enough at the same time. I just wished that I could have said it to her while she was awake. I held her the whole night, I never wanted to let go. She said we were just friends but to me she wasnt just a friend, I dont think she ever was. I had always loved her but at that moment laying with her in my arms I realised she was the one... she had always been the one... she will always be the one...
