"Moe!!" Ashley called. Anxiety is in her voice. "What's wrong?" Ashley starts to panic. "Call Carter this instance! Alexander is having fights behind the campus."
"What!? Aren't there any teachers that can stop them?" I quickly dialled Carter's number. "Hello?" Carter answered.
"Are you stupid!? Why the hell did you start a fight Xander? You just get back. Aren't Gran's lessons about discipline and being kind not enough?" Carter upbraided.
"Carter..Calm down." I called. He looked at me with apologetic eyes "Moe, I'm sorry if he's like this." I patted his shoulder.
"I would appreciate it if you stop treating me like an eight year old boy." Alexander glared at us. "sure.. if you stop acting like eight and act your own age." He scolded.
The brothers kept on scorning each other. And to stop them I have to drag Carter away from that room. "Damn it! That kid will never learn his lesson!" He bawled.
"Carter, I'm sure he'll learn..soon. " He looked at me like I grew two heads whilst wearing a can-can outfit. Sounds absurd, I know.
"Xander is not like that. If he decided to disobey ,he will. You, of all people should know that."
"You're right. I'm sorry.." I felt offended. He's right. I should've known that. I supposed to know that.
"I'm sorry, Babe. I didn't mean that. I lose my temper. I'm sorry." Carter pulled me and peck my forehead. "You're forgiven."
We walked to the cafeteria to chill out. I was feeling down. Xander is acting weird.
Why would he pick a fight?
"Did he know about us?" Carter looked at his smoothie. "I don't know. Maybe?" I sip on my smoothie before looking at him. "He doesn't have any idea what's going on between us?" he half nodded.
For a moment it made me feel angry but it was stupid. Everyone knew, surely he'll find out. "I will skip class. I have to go somewhere." Carter looked at me with a glint of anger. "You shouldn't."
I fixed my eyes in his direction. "I have to. You can come if you want." Carter stood up and grabbed my hand. "Let's get going then?" I laughed.
We hopped to his car and drove to a rehab. "Visiting your father?" Carter looked surprised. " Yeah.. haven't seen him for a month? Though , he was an addict he's still my dad."
"I wanna meet him. Will you introduce me to him?" I nodded. " Sure, You are my boyfriend after all."
Carter placed my hand into his. Seeing our fingers interlock.. it feels weird.
A woman in the front desk smiled at me. "Can I help you?" She asked sweetly. "I'm here to visit Ray Bellus. I'm his daughter." The woman looked at her notebook and nodded. "Follow me. I'll bring you to his room."
We come upon a bluish door. I heard two voices talking and laughing. "Mr. Bellus, your daughter is here to see you." I heard a chair moved and the noises stopped. It surprised me to see who was with my dad. "Alexander? What are you doing here?"
"You're his daughter?" I hesitantly nod. "Oh Ray, I think I'll passed on our deal." My dad looked at him with sad eyes. "Isn't she your type? My daughter is beautiful like her mom."
Alexander stared at me before answering my dad, "She is indeed a beauty but she isn't my type." There is a silence before dad spoke acknowledging our presence. "Moe, meet Xander.. He always visited me to seek advice."
"I know him dad. He was a student in my school. Uhmm Dad I'd like you to meet Carter. He is my boyfriend." Xander looked startled whilst dad's expression was eased.
"Good day, Sir. I am Carter Grant." Dad accepted his hand. "I know who you are, lad. Alexander mentioned you to me."
"Oh really? what did he say about me?" Carter looked at Xander briefly.
"That you are a very nice guy." Carter smiled.
"I have to go, Ray. See you around, Moe and Carter." Xander walked out the room and I followed him. "Xander! Wait!" He stopped and looked at me.
"How'd you know my dad?" I gasped for air. "Frankly, I have no idea that he was your dad. I first met him in a dark alley. Cornered and being beaten. I held a helping hand. Saving him and all. At first look, I figured that he is into some kind of drugs. I brought him here a day after the incident." He smiled.
"A week after, I visited him and he opened up a topic about his beautiful daughter that is, you. He told me that I will like you.. which is the opposite. We both knew we aren't suitable for each other."
" Before I know that it was you I sort of build up a feeling for you. Due to my disappointment all my hopes are gone. I guess you know what I mean. And about you and Carter I would say.. WOW, what a fate you have." He grinned and left.
