Separated (COMPLETED)

Chapter Twenty-Two

We got to my house by 8 and Lucas walked me to the porch.
"Thanks a lot, I really had fun" I told him.

"I had fun too" he smiled.

I heard someone coming and we turned. It was Alex. What was he doing here.

"Oh, hey Alex" I said

"Where have you been" Alex asked and Lucas shifted uncomfortably.

"Is there something wrong?"

"You've forgotten again, haven't you?" he said angrily.

Alex and I always had movie night on Saturdays but that was before and he should understand that things have changed and we weren't that close anymore.

"Alex.." I trailed off

"Who is this guy anyway" Lucas asked me and Alex butted in.

"I'm Alex, who are you?" he glared at him.

Lucas stepped forward to him "I'm Lucas, Serena's boyfriend" he put emphasis on the 'boyfriend'

Alex' eyes widened in surprise, well that made two of us because Lucas and I haven't had that talk yet so yes I was extremely surprised.

"Boyfriend?" Alex scoffed "How long have you known her, two weeks?, I've known her ever since and I've always been here for her even when your shitty school mates treated her badly"

What was seriously wrong with Alex, if he wanted to have a fight with Lucas, Lucas would definitely kick his butt because he was taller and more built.

"Well that was before, now I'm here and I want you to leave her the fuck alone"

"Lucas..." I whined and before I knew it Alex had punched Lucas hard on the face, there was actual blood and I think his lips was busted.
"What the hell" I yelled at Alex

"Lucas are you okay?" I said trying to touch him.

"I'm fine" he shoved me, one more glance at Alex and he walked to his car.
I know he was trying to be the mature one here and I liked that he didn't hit him back, but I was so worried about his face and he didn't even look at me.

I turned to enter the house without acknowledging Alex at all.

"Serena" he said softly

"What?" I snapped "You hit him and now you're satisfied"

I didn't wait for his reply I just got into the house angrily.

"Honey is that you?" mom called from the kitchen.

I sighed "Yes"

I walked to the kitchen.
"How was your day?" she asked

"Good, I guess"

"Have you had anything to eat?"

"Yes thank you" I walked to go upstairs but then remembered something and turned to her.

"Why did you call me to come home anyway" I wondered

"Oh, Alex has been waiting for you"

I let out a frustrated groan and rolled my eyes before going up to my room, leaving her in a confused state.

I had a shower and wore my pyjamas before settling on the bed to call Lucas, I was worried he hasn't called.
He answered on the third ring.

"Lucas"

"Hey, cupcake" I smiled with the mere sound of that.

"I was worried, why didn't you call?"

"My mom just got back, so we were having a family dinner" he groaned and I could imagine his eyes rolling.
"Oh you must be at it then"

"I managed to escape don't worry"

"How's your lips?" I asked

"Good enough to still kiss you"

My face went red. Jerk

"I'm sorry about Alex, I don't know what's wrong with him he's not normally like that"

"It's okay, I'm sorry too"

"For what?"

"I wasn't there for you from the start when people treated you like shit" he said, his voice low.

"Are you really listening to what Alex says, it's fine we hadn't met that time"

"I still feel bad though"

"It's okay, really. Why didn't you hit Alex back anyway?"

"I can't hit a guy in front of my girl" he said and I blushed deeply "Except he was messing around you, but I trust you too much for that to happen."

I smiled. He trusts me.

"That's good"

"But Alex likes you though"

"What! No he doesn't"

"Cupcake I know he does, didn't you see the look in his eyes"

"What look, Alex and I have been best friends for years, he couldn't like me"

"Whatever you say"  he gave up
"Argg I have to go, I've been busted by my annoying sister"

"I can't be the only one suffering in there" I heard Chloe's voice from the background.

I laughed "Have fun"

"Like that would happen" he replied and cut the call.

I drifted off to sleep thinking of Lucas.
