hatred // chris schistad

sixteen.

'huh?' says alex sitting up.

'i know it sounds crazy but alex i'm falling for you hard.' says chris looking at her. alex looks away from chris, trying to process what he just said. alex does like chris, but she's not entirely over jonas and she's not one to get into relationships so fast.

'i understand if the feelings aren't mutual. you've been through a lot these past few weeks, i don't want to add anymore pressure on you.' says chris.

'i'm confused chris.' says alex sighing.

'part of me still loves jonas. but part of me feels something for you, even if i don't know what it is.'

chris looks at alex, staying silent, while she confuses on the floor. he doesn't know what to say as he's scared it will come out wrong. he knows she's avoiding looking into his eyes, she's looking everywhere but at it.

'look at me alex.' he says softly. he puts his finger under her chin and lifts her chin up making her look at him.

'i don't want to make this weird between us okay? i still want us to be friends, i'm not making you fall in love with me. honestly, if i were you, i wouldn't want to love me too.' he says chuckling slightly at the end. he just kisses her forehead before standing up and heading to the bathroom.

'let's think of having fun and not of the drama back home shall we?' asks chris with a smile as they both sit in the back of the car.

' sounds like a plan.' she says with a smile.

'stop talking in norwegian, i don't understand any of it.' says alex's grandpa laughing in the front seat.

'sorry grandpa.' replies alex in english.

alex is so used to just talking norwegian with her friends and chris, talking english all the time again seems so weird for her. even though she speaks english at home.

'so where are we going?' asks alex.

'your grandpa and i were talking last night and we were thinking about we spend time in sunny california?' says her grandma looking back at them smiling.

❁    ❁

after stopping at motel over night, they finally arrived in sunny los angeles. chris is sat in the back of the car, his face practically glued to the window.

'i can't believe it.' he says quietly to himself as he sees the hollywood sign.

alex looks at chris and smiles, she's never seen him so happy.

'right kids, this is our hotel.' says her grandpa as they pull into a parking.

her grandparents have decided to stay in california for three days, so there's no rush and they can still enjoy it all at the same time.

they enter the hotel, chris being a gentleman and carrying alex's bags as they go and check in.

'two rooms under pennington?' says her grandpa.

'two rooms?' asks alex.

'sweetie, you really think we would have you and chris share a room with us? you're both young and need your space.' she says smiling at her grandma.

'well thank you grandma but you didn't need to.'

'it's honestly no bother.' she says. they all grab their bags and go up to their rooms, chris and alex's room is on the floor above theirs.

'we're going to get some lunch. if you youngsters came to join us, come to our room in 20 minutes.'

'i highly doubt they're going to join us john, they don't want to be seen with oldies like us.'

'hey i am not old!' says john as they walk into their room making alex and chris laugh.

alex and chris proceed to go to their room, they open their room and both gasp.

'this is beautiful.' says alex in shock at the view. she opens the glass window and stands outside.

'i'm so blessed.' says chris walking outside and standing next to her.

'i get to be in the most beautiful city in the world with the most beautiful girl in the world.' he says with a smile.

alex just looks at him, wrapping her arms around him and kissing him.

'i'm so thankful for your existence, i hope you know that?' she says.

'because chris schistad.' she says looking at him straight in the eyes.

'you are the best thing that's ever happened to me.'
