After Dunkirk

Chapter 13

Alex POV
I've tried to call Georgia back a couple of times since she hung up the other night. She sounded just like she was over it and I mean I get it. It's probably what I deserve and all but at the same time it was still sort of shocking considering she's usually always the one to want to "keep the peace".

Either way though we're not done talking. I get that I fucked up, but still she has to talk to me about this.

For the past few days that's all that's been on my mind. Not to mention my stomach has been killing me and my mom is overreacting about everything at the moment as hospitals seem to take her to a whole other level of worrying.

"How are you feeling son?" She says as she walks back in the room.

"Not exactly my best."

"Well I was actually got to talk to one of the nurses outside and she was actually telling me how abdominal pain can be a very common sign of stress." She says.

"Well I don't know what else to do! She won't even talk to me."

"Alex, are you sure you've been communicating with her in a nice enough way though? I know you don't mean to but sometimes your demeanor doesn't always come off as the nicest." She says.

"I don't know, I guess maybe I could have been a little nicer, but it seems like everything I'm doing now I seem to somehow mess up, so I don't know what to do." I say.

"Right now she's hurt and she's probably on edge at the moment too with everything going on. Just give her some time and she'll come back around." She says.

"I need to talk to her now though, this isn't really something I can put off. I'm not trying to upset her more than I already have but we can't put it off like it doesn't exist either." I say

"I know and I'm not trying to say you should but look let's just be honest, right now there's not really much of anything we can do about it so just try and get some rest and I'm going to be back in the morning." She says as she gathers her things.

The idea of getting any sleep actually makes me laugh, but I guess I should at least give it a try, it's not like there's really anything else to do here.

Georgia POV
Last night all my mind could seem to stay on was Alex besides wondering about all the other things going on and how I'm going to work everything out.

If I think about it though, really he's always on my mind. I still love him, but right now he's just acting like an asshole and it's a side of him I'm not used to.

I mean don't get me wrong, he's always been a smartass but it was in a lovable way, nothing that was ever to be taken too serious. But now things are different.

He's not the same person.

I mean like I get that he's been through a lot but at the same time that doesn't give him the right to act like a dick towards me. I mean honestly who does he think he is calling me and questioning me?

I don't get how he can expect anyone to help him if he let anyone in.

Suddenly my thoughts are cut off by the phone ringing.

"Hello?" I hear Gemma's voice on the other end. I'm honestly a little annoyed with her at the moment because I know that she's the one who told Alex even though I told her not too.
