Alone

Ch. 4 : I love tall guys

"Yeah Mark, We're fine."

I heard my mom talking to my dad on the phone. As I passed by her she smiled.

"Nova just got home." Looking at me with a smile.

I started to flail my arms up and down and back and forth in attempt to tell her that I don't want to talk to my dad.

"She said she wants to talk to you." She smiled.

"What the fuck mom?!" I shout whispered with a whine.

"Talk to your father young lady." She said in a strict tone.

She handed me the phone and I looked at it hesitantly before placing it against my ear. "Hey dad."

"Hey. So did your mom tell you that we're gonna break up for a couple of months?"

"Yeah. I'm sorry." I said smiling. I was lying through my teeth. I've been wanting him to leave for years.

"Well, just letting you know that it's only temporary." he said in a comforting voice and my eyebrows shot up my face.

"Ok." I said  calmly as the smile on my face turned into a frown. TEMPORARY?!

"Well, I gotta go. Love you." he said, trying to be enthusiastic.

"Love you too." I said into the phone before looking behind me for my mom, when she wasn't there I walked in the kitchen and handed her the phone before I walked upstairs and flopped myself on my bed.

At school the next day I got to the the front door to see Alex waiting for me. He was sitting down on the ground with his earbuds in nodding his head to the music, kind of in a daze.

I tapped him on the shoulder. He immediatly flinched and shot his head up but when he saw it was me, he smiled and pulled out his buds.

"Hey Nova." He said standing up and brushing off his jeans.

"Hey."

"So what's up?" He said as he got up. When he used his arms to push himself up, his biceps flexed and his tattoo stretched as he moved. When he got up he noticed I was staring at his tattoo.

"Does my tattoo suddenly appeal to you Nova?" He said raising up one eyebrow.

I blanked out for a second. "Oh yeah, kinda. I just love tattoos. It sucks that I have to wait a year before I can get one, I mean my mom would probably sign for one, but I gotta be sixteen."

He put on his jacket, covering up his beautiful tattoo as we walked in the door.

"So that makes you fifteen then right?" 

"Right." Damn. He probably realizes that I'm three years younger then him now.

"Sorry its just you look older." He said shrugging.

"I know, I've been told that alot." It's true too. I mean I'm at least 5'10 and I'm only fifteen. The good thing is that Alex is at least 6 feet tall. I love tall guys. 

As we walked through the halls together, people started to stare. I mean we're not dating or anything, but most people arn't used to people hanging out with me.

After school, me and Alex went to his house. He said thet he had just moved in.

As we walked from the school, I reconized the neighborhood.

"Hey, do you live on Adams?" 

"Yeah, I think, Why?"

"So do I!" I was excited. Most of the kids that live in my neighborhood ignore me. Even when I was little. When I would want to play with them they'd stick up their noses and say "We don't play with the freaky girl." Cunt stain wankers.

"Really? That's cool." He said smiling. 

He lived three houses down from me. As I walked in to the house I could tell that it had that look. The 'just-moved-in' look. His parents are divorced and he lives with his dad. 

"Hey pops, we're home!" 

I heard rummaging through boxes in the next room. "We? who have you brought home now-" he said as he walked in the room. This guy had almost more tattoos then my dad. He looked like Vanilla Ice for fucking sakes.

"Hi. You must be Nova." He said offering his hand to shake. As I shook his hand I looked at Alex. He had talked about me? That's amazing. Considering that we had just met yesterday.

He shot his father a look. A look that said more along the lines of embarass me and I'll kill you.

"Hi, Mr. Walter. Its a pleasure to meet you." I may have stuck to myself most of my life, but around adults, I had excellent manners.

"Just call me Peter. And Alex, damn this girl is polite. You better keep her." He said smirking at me.

"We're just friends dad. Nova and I are gonna study in my room." He said as he turned to the staircase. I followed him.

"Okay, just make sure to keep your hands to yourself. Or don't. Either's fine with me." He said as we walked up the stairs. I could tell he was smiling when he said that. Alex just rolled his eyes.

When we got into his room, it definitely looked organized. There was a bed with the covers all neat and folded. There were a couple of posters of rock bands and a few boxes in a corner.

"You sure do have a...neat room." I said since I've never seen someone's (a guy's) room so...organized. 

"Yeah. I'm a total neat freak." He said as he took off his jacket and threw it on the bed, exposing his ripped biceps that were extremly visible from the sleeves of his band t-shirt. And the python tattoo that was mesmerizing.

"So am I." I said sitting down on the bed. there was a sudden knock on the door. Alex flinched but then rolled his eyes. "Who is it?" 

"Who do you think?" A voice clearly a girl came through the door. It swung open. A girl that looked about my age, maybe a little bit younger stood there. Brown straight hair that cascaded down her shoulders. She was definatly prettier then me.

Leave it to me to compare every girl to myself.

"Andrea I have a friend over." He said, clearly annoyed.

She looked at me with curiosity but then turned her attention back to Alex. "Well do you know where the box of kitchen dishes are?" 

"I don't know. Ask dad." He said with a shrug, taking out his phone.

"I just did. He told me to ask you." She said with sass. I liked her already.

I could tell he was getting annoyed with his -now I know- sister.

"I don't know and I don't care. Leave me alone. I don't bother you when you have friends over."

She rolled her eyes. "Fine." and then she walked out the door, closing it behind her.

It was quiet for a few seconds. I finally broke the silence by asking "So...I forgot you told me that you have a sister." 

He turned around, as If remembering I was there. "Yeah. She's 14, still in middle school."

I nodded my head. "Cool. So what do you want to study?"

"Oh we're not gonna study." He said with a smile forming on his face.

"Then what are we gonna do?"

"That's for me to know, and you to find out."
