Chapter 15

---------------------

T.Z's point of view

Alex is not being normal, I mean I didn't think she would but I wasn't expecting her to be this insane. Her mood changing every second, cutting me off, even violence - kicking me off the bed, grabbing my shirt, throwing me on the floor - I don't even think she notices.

I thought about telling her everything...

I didn't like it. Maybe I'll just tell her some of it...

"Ok, I'll talk - if you can stay quiet"

She invisibly zipped her lips, locked them and threw away the key.

I smiled, but inside I was scared, as she made yet another mood change.

---------------------

Alex's point of view

"Well I'll start from the start which was...Tuesday" he paused for a little bit too long

I just sat quiet.

"You remember that evening?"

It was a rhetorical question but I still nodded, my eyes anywhere other than his.

"After we, um, found you when Aaron and Izzy were checking to see if you were okay, your drawings caught my eye, the ones you were laid on"

I took a sharp in take of breath.

I didn't want him to know, not when I hardly knew.

"After that I, well...-" he seemed to change what he was going to say then "-you don't need to hide anything from me, you know that, right?"

I didn't say anything, I didn't know if denying it would be any better, but keeping quiet was good enough.

He didn't speak either.

My mind is going over and over that night.

"When's your birthday?" he randomly said

"21st of June" I automatically replied

He sat deep in thought. I was confused as to how that was important.

"So in about five months then, hmm"

It clicked then.

He knows. Crap.

Trying to be inconspicuous I asked "when's yours?"

His answer would tell me how long... Wait. Oh crap! If he knows then he... he must be one too. But...

He cut off my thoughts "17th of September" his smirk showed me it wasn't very inconspicuous. Damn.

That's almost a year older than me. The silence stretched along with the shock.

"Do your parents know? I've not seen them around?" he just looked interested, not realising how much it hurts me to even think about them not being here.

"Err, my-" I breathed heavier "-my parents, they're not around anymore"

"I'm so sorry to bring it up..." we sat in awkward silence "but wait, but how?...How do you know? Its obviously your brothers not one, so...?"

I wondered what the hell he was talking about for a minute there, then I caught on

"Well, only my mum" Breathe "passed away" Breathe "my dad just left when she did" Breathe.

Shall I tell him about the letters he sent me? Umm...No I don't think so, not now anyway.

"Oh okay" he just accepted it, how strange. Oh well at least I don't have to talk about that subject anymore.

"We should get to sleep" he mumbled

I said "yeah okay" but I was curious now, curious about him.

I turned my light off, leaving us in the dull light of the lamp.

We both lay in our own beds, thinking.

"What are you?" I murmured, curiosity getting the best of me.

He chuckled and I thought 'Wait didn't curiosity kill the cat??'
