Say Something (Lams, Mute!Alex)

Chapter 24

(Sam's POV)

"What do you say, Sammy?"

"Um... I, uh, I guess..." I could be a spy for my friends. I'd have to, because I really didn't know how to say no to this. But... I still wasn't sure. "Um, I guess I need some more time to think about it..."

"Is there any way I could just persuade you to say yes?" King asked, moving even closer. If either of us moved any closer to the other, our lips would be touching. I felt my face heat up. I had to give him an answer now, didn't I?

"Um, I don't know..." He's just trying to use me, isn't he? I did not want to be some toy to him. "Do you actually care?"

"What?" George asked, confused by my question.

"Do you actually care about me? Or is that just some ruse to get me to be your little spy?" I asked, a little coldly. I needed to get over this stupid little crush. It was obvious he didn't really care, now that I thought about it. "You know what? Don't answer that. I know the real answer, and you're just going to give me what I want to hear. But you know what? I'm not gonna listen to any lies. I want someone who actually cares. Not just someone who wants to use me for information. You want to be my boyfriend? Then leave the SDR. Do not try and persuade me to stab my friends in the back. So I'm sorry, George, but no. I'm not going to join the SDR. That's my final answer. Have a nice day." I spun around on my heel and walked away from him. Honestly, did he really think I'd let him use me like that? Does he really take me as a helpless, love-struck boy who would bend to his every will? Whatever. Screw him. I am so over him.

And that's why I walked back into my dorm room upset, grumbling to myself. And that must have caught the attention of Jay, my roommate, because he asked "Sam? What's wrong?"

"George King."

"I thought you had a crush on him, though?" 

"Yeah, not anymore. I'm over him."

"What did he do?"

"He thought he could play me, that's what. He tried to toy with my emotions, like a dick."

"Oh. I tried to tell you he doesn't deserve someone like you."

I sighed. "Yeah. Thanks for trying to protect me." I smiled softly at my roommate, who nodded, returning the smile. 

"Of course. That's what friends are for."

(John's POV)

Alex and I had just gotten back to the dorm from getting more milkshakes. This might just have to become a daily routine. But anyway, we had just gotten back when there was a knock on the door. I sighed and stood up, walking over to the door. When I opened it, I was greeted with Jefferson. "Yes, Thomas? What do you want?"

"I need you to trust me when I say you're in danger," he said, a bit rushed.

"What do you mean?" I furrowed my brow at him, hoping he'd just get to the point.

"Andrew Jackson wants me to send someone after you. I mean, I'm not going to, but he's going to anyway."

I rolled my eyes. "Who does he think he can send who can scare me?"

"I don't know, but he knows how to do his research. I just thought I'd warn you."

"Alright. Thanks for the warning, Thomas. But I'll be fine. You can go now." It's not that I didn't like him, but... oh wait. that was it exactly. I mean, I trusted him enough to hang out with us now, but I still didn't really like him. However, as I closed the door, I was a little nervous. Because the last time Jefferson was scared about something, I ended up in the hospital. Granted, that was mostly my fault, but still. Jefferson doesn't get scared unless it's serious. I took a deep breath before going back to Alex and sitting next to him.

"Who was that?" Alex asked quietly.

"Thomas."

"What d-did he want?"

"Nothing you should worry about. Don't worry." I kissed his cheek, and he smiled at me.

"Okay. If you s-say so."

I smiled back at him with a nod. "Now, how about we continue our musical marathon?" I chuckled as his eyes lit up and he nodded energetically. "Alright. Let's do this."

(Time skip)

About a week had passed, and I had almost completely forgotten about Thomas's warning, though it was still in the back of my mind. For now, I was just enjoying listening to Alex whenever he spoke and the milkshakes we got almost every day. Life was quiet, peaceful, normal. But of course, life couldn't stay quiet forever.

We had just finished the movie Moana, by Alex's request, when there was a knock on the door. With a sigh, I asked Alex to change the movie while I took care of whoever was at the door. So I answered and almost screamed. So this was who Andrew Jackson had decided to send. Out of everyone. The one guy I never wanted to see again. Why him? 

"Hello, Jack."

"Father."

Short  chapter. I need to stop leaving you guys hanging. But I don't think I will stop. I hope you enjoyed the chapter, Mishamigos. I'll let you go for the day now. Maybe I'll update tomorrow, maybe I won't.  We'll see what happens. I may update one of my other stories. Well, bye, Mishamigos!
