27 Days~ A Lams Fanfiction

Chapter 1

❤️Alex's POV❤️

"This is it! This is the place!" The lady I've been stuck in the car for the last hour says, turning into a long driveway.

"Are you sure? This looks like a normal house." I respond, keeping my eyes on the moving trees outside of the window.

"Yes, I'm sure. We try to make it look more like you're at home here, since you'll be here for awhile." She says, her bob-length gray hair bouncing up and down as the car goes over a bump.

"I'm not going to ever be at home here." I mumble.

"Don't talk back, Alexander." She says, sternly.

"Alex." I correct her.

"Alex." She repeats. "Listen, I know it must be hard that you lost your mom and your cousin, but your dad wants you here until you get better."

"My dad doesn't know anything, he is always drunk." I say.

"No. Talking. Back." She says, staring directly into my eyes.

"Whatever." I say, opening the door and stepping out of the front seat of the car.

I walk to the back of the car and open the trunk, trying to find my luggage under all of the other shit that was in the car to begin with.

"It seems to be all wet." She says, looking at the luggage.

"Yes, thanks for stating the obvious. It seems this jug of some sort of liquid opened up and spilled everywhere." I say, holding up a now empty jug.

"I'm sorry Alexan- Alex." She says, correcting herself.

"The most important things didn't get wet, that's this bag." I say, pointing to the back with some 'important plan' papers in them.

You see, I've been planning to strategically kill myself in 27 days. The exact 3 year anniversary of the death of my cousin, Phillip.

"Oh yes! That's the bag with your books, isn't it Alex?" She asks.

"Um, yes." I lie. It did have a couple books in it, but it was mostly just to hide the 'plan papers'.

"Great, now lets go inside, deary."

"Please never call me that again." I mutter under my breath. Luckily, she didn't hear it.
