It All Started With a Smile

Alex's Burst

2 hours on the road felt like years because of the intense boredom, just staring at the beautiful woods and hoping it would burn down to hell. "Wow these forests are awesome" I thought to myself "Looking at these forests makes me sick to my stomach..." Aunt Caroline then removed my earphones and -again- made me forget what I was thinking of, "so what are your plans when we get there?" she questioned, "sleep" I replied without second thoughts about it
-wow... And then?
-then probably feel tired because of all the sleep so I'd take a nap
-Aren't you going to go out? Probably make some friends?
-I don't need friends... Or do I?
-well of course you do, or else you're going to feel lonely
-I'm used to loneliness
-Listen Al, today you're leaving your comfort zone and making some friends
-But.... Ok fine, I'll make some friends at school, how does this sound?
-Ok deal... And get yourself a girlfri...
-NO, FORGET ABOUT IT, I DON'T NEED A GIRLFRIEND, I DON'T WANT A GIRLFRIEND
-Ok but why did u get angry all of a sudden? Is there something I don't know? Wait what's with your left eye?
-Shit! Pull over, NOW
After stopping the car on the side of the road, i took a mirror from my aunt's purse and rushed towards the woods and shouted "I'll be back"
Caroline's point of view
"What's with that kid?" I thought to myself "he seems to have alot of issues... I need to get closer to him so that he will feel that it's safe if he told me" after I while, the sound of a tree falling exploded in my ears, then another one and another and another one, "WHAT'S WITH THAT FOREST" I internally screamed "OH MY GOD IS ALEX OK, I HOPE HE'S NOT DEAD I SHOULD GO LOOK FOR HIM"
On my way to the forest my phone vibrated, It was a message from an unknown number saying "No, I'm not dead so don't worry, I'll be back in few minutes"... Could it be Alex? That's... No way... I... I didn't give him my number... How the... What's... How did he...... there's something about that kid that isn't right I can feel it in my guts
Few mins later Alex appeared infront of me and scared the living shit out of me, he just said "let's get back to the car". We got back to the car, turned it on then got back on the road
-where did u come from? I didn't see you getting out of the forest!
-that's probably because you were facing the other direction of the forest I entered from
-what no way I remember you went from that side, that can't be possible! Wait are you the one who sent me the message? If yes how did u get my number? How did you fix your eye? Wh...
-aunt chill, you can't be that anxious it's not good for your health, here have some water.
Even though he was mad, he still cared about my health, that little brat is so adorable
-"so yeah" he said " ask me whatever you like, but if I say pass then just don't beg me to answer
-ok... What did you do when you went to the forest?
-I broke some woods... It helped me calm down a little bit
-oh I see... Are you ok now?
-kind of
-are you the one who texted me?
-yes, I know what you're thinking, I got your number from Uncle Sam, I wanted to prank you, and you know how Sam is, he was like "when you do the prank send me screenshots"
-Oh that bastard... Helping you prank his little sister, I'll show u sam... Anyways I have more questions
-yeah I know... Shoot
-why did you get angry?
-pass
-Gah! Fine... What happened to your eye?
-what happened to my eyes?
-you know... the Left Eye turned completely red
-You were probably imaginating it, nothing happened to my eyes
-but I saw it with my bare eyes!
-you're seeing stuff, it's probably because you're tired of driving.
-I guess you're right
-Yeah... I'll put my earphones back on, if you needed anything from me just remove them GENTLY because you almost ripped them and my ears off the first time.
I laughed and shook my head as an ok.
Alex point of view
I put my earphones back and played the song then we started thinking "You promised me you'd be here, you promised me to stay with me... why did you go... why did you leave me alone..."
