It's A Long Story

4.

POV: Lexa
I walk home. I got a text from Sean

"Where are you? I've got to tell you something."

It was from an hour ago. Shit!

"I'm sorry. I was painting." I type. Sean is online

"I was worried sick. Please just leave a note." He texts

"I'm so sorry, I totally forgot." I text

"What did you want to say?" I say

"I'll tell you when you're home." He texts

"Okay" I text. I know Sean is upset with me. He's very protective. I get that though, he has been through a lot.

10 minutes later...

I already see the orphanage. Only one light is on. I see Sean sitting on the roof. It's freezing cold, why would he do that.

"Sean!" I yell

"Come up here!" He yells back

"You're crazy!"

"I know, just come up here!"

I laugh he really is crazy

"Okay, I'm coming!" I yell back

I run towards the door and open it with my key. I quickly run upstairs to our room. We share a room together, because there aren't that many rooms in the orphanage.

I look through the window and see Sean smiling at me.

"Why would you do that?" I ask him

"Just felt like it." He says with a calm voice

I climb through the window and go sit next to Sean.

It stays quiet for a while until Sean says: "I was worried about you."

"I know, I'm really sorry. I totally forgot to leave a note."

"No, not about that. It's just... I don't know what we're going to after we graduate and I just really want you to live a happy life."

"Sean, it's gonna be okay. We're gonna be okay." I say trying to calm him down

"What if, we will just grow up and be those criminals who are orphans and they didn't have anything else to go to? What if that's gonna be us?" Sean says. His voice cracks and I hear a sob.

"Sean, we will find a way. We both saved up right? and we always have Rico." I say. I wrap an arm around him.

Sean just nods.

I try to clear up the subject and say: "So... how was your day?"

He immediately begins to smile.

"Wait... you had a good day?" I say

"Yes, you could say that." He grins

"What happened?!" I say a bit to enthusiastic.

I see a light going on at one of the building and a window opens.

"Will you shut up?! It's already 2.50 a.m." A man shouts

"We're sorry sir." Sean and I yell at the same time.

The man just shakes his head and turns off the light again

Sean and I burst out in laughing. "Did you see the look on his face." I say. I'm trying to be less loud, but I just can't hold back my laughter.

Sean grins: "So yeah, where were we?"

I totally forgot about Sean's day, because of the man.

"Oh yes, what happened today?" I say
