Cause and Effect

Part 26

Ally

I don't think I'm in shock anymore. Not after Zander had came. And then the whole argument... Speech thing that happened with Brent and Daniel. I haven't cried about it yet. But I know that the next thing could possibly break the dam.

It's been a hour since then. And I was currently waiting for Alex to come here because he wanted to know if I was alright. I lied and said I was, even though he saw me in my earlier state. He insisted that he came over to comfort me. And I couldn't deny. I guess I wanted to see him again?

"Ally, that Alex guy is here," a not to happy looking Daniel walked through my door. Without knocking I must add. "Should I let him in and tell him to come here or...?"

I shook my head and stood up, "You'd probably try to threaten him and scare him away. I told him to come here so go relax and DON'T bug us while he's here." I snapped and glared at him, making his gaze trail to the ground slightly. That made me almost feel bad for snapping. Almost. "And next time knock."

I walked past him to the front door to see Alex standing there awkwardly next to Oliver, and Elizabeth. Why is he still here?

I saw Zander's head perk up when he saw me, smiling shyly. I also saw Oliver raise a brow, before grabbing Eliza's hand dragging ger back into the living room. Muttering something about, "stupid love". Eliza apparently heard him too, because she slapped his arm and scoffed.

I can tell these two are getting close. But what did Oliver mean by 'stupid love'. I shook my head and looked up at Zander, who was staring at Oliver's retreating back. Well... Kinda glaring. Which I didn't know he could do.

He has the face that looks a bit to innocent. Like he has a baby face where you just wanna squeeze his cheeks and coo at him. I, of course, have refrained from doing that.

"Hi, you ok?" He frowned in concern. I sighed and nodded.

"I already told you yes. Now lets go to my room. I feel like these losers are going to be trying to hear in on our conversation." I rolled my eyes before turning to see Elizabeth snapping her head back to the tv show she is "watching" with Oliver.

I grabbed Zander's hand before he could respond and dragged him up to my room. Daniel had left, but his door was open. Which was weird for him because he always thought that "privacy is the best thing a person could have". But then again this is coming from the guy who burst into my room without knocking.

Alex had taken a seat on my bed after I closed the door, and looked around the room. There wasn't much to look at. I had light blue walls, with occasional childhood pictures. Some with family, some with Daniel. Some with Daniel and family. Others just of me, looking like the fabulous betch I am. And a closet full of my clothes, and shoes. Varying from TOMs to Van.

"Nice room you have here." Alex commented. I jumped next to him on my bed, making myself comfortable.

"Thanks, organized it myself." I shrugged. "So Alex. Tell me more about yourself. Since I found a bit of stuff before." I sat up, Indian style waiting for him to speak.

"Oh uh ok... Well... I like to swim. Well I've been swimming for nearly 5 years now. It's really fun, but a lot of work. Uh. I have a younger sister named Bella, she's 16. Just 4 years younger than me." He chuckled and scratched his head awkwardly. Does every guy I know do that or...?

"Wow so a younger sister and a swimmer. That's something you didn't say last time." I raised my brow at him.

"Well to be fair, we didn't really talk about my life. We kinda just joked around and stuff." He laughed at the memory. I smiled at the thought too.
