CODE RED (Book 1)

Hurts The Most

I didn't know how long the four of us had been staring at one another threw the wind shield of Alex's car but I knew it lasted long enough.

They saw us and I felt embarrassed more then anything at that moment. There weren't a lot of time for me to feel this way but I absolutely hated the emotion.

My mothers face showed the expressions of surprise, disbelief, unsure, and agitation but then she shook her head at me and turned away, briskly walking up the side walk, her hair bounced at how fast she was walking on her heels before reaching the front door unlocked it and then she went inside and slammed the door behind her.

Jared still stood in the drive way staring back at me giving me an indescribable look.

At that very moment I thought to myself if this was real? and what me and Alex had just done in front of the two people that shouldn't have witnessed it. In truth it felt like I was both dreaming and reality was taking place right now, if that makes any sense. But I knew it wasn't a dream, my dreams were never like this, it was only cruel reality biting back at me.

I took in a steady breath trying to calm my nerve before turning away from him as I got off of Alex's lap who was still just as surprised as me to see my own mom and her boyfriend return unexpectedly.

I sat back down in the passenger seat, denying myself to look back up to see Jared's face. I didn't want to see it. Not right now. I was to much in shock.

. . . He went inside. Alex finally said warily, he then turned to me with a worried look.

Your mom. She looked . . .stressed. He added.

I didn't respond to him as quickly. Stressed, that didn't make sense. My mom wasn't ever stressed. . . at least not in front of me. It was odd thinking that she was now. But truthfully I hoped it was only a work problem that made her storm into the house like that and not seeing the only son of hers completely make out with another guy.

I shook my head of the thoughts I was thinking and responded to Alex's statement. "She can't be."

Alex sighed while raking a hand threw the strands of his hair. "I should meet her properly, I think it's about time that I do."

I rose my eyebrows in surprise turning to look at him. "What?"

"We never got to meet each other, remember." He averted his grey eyes onto me.

"Even when I was taken to the hospital?" I suggested.

"She didn't talk to me, Nai ,or D.C, she was to worried about you."

I gave him an skeptical look still not trusting the decision. If my mom wasn't in the mood right now then I didn't want to push it and cause the situation to become even worse then it already was.

No. I said simply before quickly grabbing my things and grabbed onto the handle on the car door. I hand dropped onto my shoulder and I turned around to meet Alex face to face. I hadn't expected him to be that close.

No what? He asked deeply.

No you can't meet her right now, if she's stressed then she's only going to say something out of line.

So what? He asked persistently giving me that sudden intense look.

My eyes hardened as I continued to stare at him. So relentless. I muttered. Then I sighed giving up. Fine! come on!

His face brightened up signifying that he had won over the conversation. I rolled my eyes getting out of the car along with him at my side.

I opened the front door that was still unlocked and was surprised to see a whine bottle cracked and splattered along the floor. I stopped mid step Alex almost running into me from behind.
