Life is a Journey - Alex Summers, Havok

Only Time Will Tell

                Instead of dreaming about the same nightmares that I have been since being attacked, they are now the sweetest memories that I have of growing up. Hearing my parents laughing and seeing them smiling again because of the silly things that Alex and I would come up with made me smile and laugh along with them. Reliving a few moments of happiness with them before I wake up to my brutal reality that they were no longer with me in my waking life.

My happy memories were playing through my mind like I was watching a movie, from the first time that Alex and I became friends and going into our teenage years when our hormones began changing us forever. No longer were we normal human best friends, we became mutants, freaks. But that didn't stop us from continuing to be the closest of friends, that would eventually turn us into lovers.

And then came the more recent memories caught up to me as bonus content. From the beginning introductions at the FBI building and the recent heart breaks straight through to the stomach aches from laughing so much to the times where Sean would make a fool out of himself to make us smile. In every one of the boys they all share the same want to make us girls smile even if it meant that we had to laugh at their embarrassment.

The heated blanket that I'm cuddled up with starts shaking and my movie of memories cracks and breaks into pieces. On instinct I drop to my knees and wrap my arms around my stomach to protect my unborn child, hoping that it would stop. Once it did I realize that I was no longer dreaming, but I was still not fully awake either, so I stayed quiet and listened intently to the world around me, just until I catch my breath and know for sure what's happening to me.

That's when I hear the quiet voices around me.

"Why is she here?" The male has a strangely higher pitched voice then what I normally hear, making me shiver.

A warm hand is placed on my arm, rubbing it gently to help warm me up and keep me from shivering any more. "Because she's a mutant Sean, like us." Rumbles a deeper males voice sarcastically.

I have to stop myself from giggling. I like this guy and his attitude.

"I know that stupid." Replies the guy with the higher pitched voice, who I'm assuming is Sean.

"Then don't be asking stupid questions." The deeper voice yawns tiredly.

"I just meant what is she doing in here? With you? Alone? And in your bed?" Why is he talking so strangely? I wonder.

"Because we went out yesterday."

"And?..."

"It was late when we got back, and she was tired, so I took her to her room."

"This doesn't look like her room though. It looks like yours."

"Good job genius. That's because it is mine."

"So... What then?" Sean asks in annoyance, he clearly isn't happy with the answers that he is getting from his friend, or in this case lack of answers.

"She didn't want to be alone anymore, so I brought her here and we both fell asleep on the bed together." He sighs also getting tired of the barrage of questions so early in the morning.

"You do realize that she's going to freak out when she wakes up, right Alex?"

"Yea, I know." He replies sighing sadly.

Wait a second... Sean, and Alex...

I start squirming around in Alex's arms now realizing that my heated blanket was Alex's boy and the memories that I was dreaming of last night had truly happened. Alex had offered his room to me when I told him that I was tired of being scared and alone, I realize now that I never gave him the chance to offer his bed for me to sleep on before I just invited myself into it. Seems like some old habits between us refuse to stay in the past.
