Scars

No More Kitty...

(A/N:and this my faithful little chickens. Is one of the very few chapters where we see the buttface called Maggie... 😒)

Imp's P.O.V
I woke up before Alexander quietly left so that I didn't freak him out when he woke up. I slept really well though. First time I've slept well in years. I walked down the stairs and found David and Angie already up. Well sorta. Angie was making some form of breakfast. Smelled good though. And David was half asleep on the couch.

I decided I needed some alone time to think and told David I was going to the city for a little bit. I wanted to walk instead of taking the car to take in the environment. I closed the door behind me and began walking. I saw an unknown car driving towards the house, but didn't think much of it.

Alex's P.O.V
I was woken up by a knock on my door and David calling me saying there was someone here to see me. He sounded really pissed off. I didn't want to upset him so I quickly got up. I didn't bother to get dressed and jogged down the stairs. I got to the front door with kitty trailing close behind and my expression immediately changed. Maggie was at the door. "hello Alex" I growled and so did David from the kitchen. "Maggie" she had a cat carrier in her hand. Oh God. Please no! "Alex. I'm taking the cat. She's mine" with that she picked up kitty and put her in the carrier, ignoring all her meows and cries for help. "Maggie please. You know she likes me more. Please Maggie don't take her" I pleaded cause I was so vulnerable I didn't know what else to do. "I'm sorry Alex..." I knew she wasn't sorry. I also knew there was no point in arguing. Kitty was hers, but I know she didn't give her all the attention she needed. David also saw that I wasn't going to win this. He walked over, put a hand on my shoulder and tried to hold back his anger"i think it's time you go. Thank you for stopping by"his Russian accent making him sound really deadly for some reason. It scared me a little.

Maggie left and David sympathetically patted my shoulder before walking back to the kitchen. I looked at him with a complete look of sadness and he smiled at me. I was wrong when I said I had never seen anyone smile like my dad before. David just did. I looked back at the door and rested my forehead on it. "I'm going out" I said before I was about to cry and left the house. I started running in the direction of the woods, just outside our yard and didn't stop running till I reached a tall oak tree. I didn't know what else to do and started climbing it. Tears stinging my eyes. When I reached the top I finally let myself cry.

I got home after a few hours and saw how pissed off David was. He explained what happened and I was instantly pissed off too. I couldn't help but feel sad as well. "Alex has gone out" my ears dropped and I fiddled with my scarf. A habit I had when I was nervous nowadays. "I-I hope he's OK!" David raised an eyebrow before sighing and going back to helping Angie in the kitchen. "leave him be, he'll come back." I decided that that was probably best but I knew exactly what to do to cheer him up. I left the house and started jogging in the direction of the city.

David's P.O.V
The poor kid. That bitch just took his only pet. She's not welcome here as long as I'm around. Angie saw how pissed off I was and patted my shoulder. "don't let her get to you" she put her head on my chest and hugged me. I instantly felt a little better and hugged her back, kissing the top of her head.

Imp's P.O.V
I got back and dashed to Alex's room with the box in my hand. I placed it on his bed and sighed, hoping he was OK. I headed to my room and sat on my bed, reading to try and clear my thoughts.

Alex's P. O. V
After a while I got back and went straight to my room, not wanting to deal with anyone right now. I saw a box on my bed and looked at it suspiciously. I found a not eon it that said"open it quick. It needs oxygen" I sceptically did as the note said and my heart lifted a little when I pulled out a small black and white bunny. I smiled as he sniffed my nose. I hugged him close to my chest and lay down, letting myself cry of both pure joy and sadness.

Imp's P.O.V
After an hour or so I headed to the kitchen to get a drink. David told me that Alex was back. My mood instantly lifted and I jogged up the stairs to see if I could comfort him. I gently knocked on the door and heard no answer again so I quietly entered. His cheeks were stained with tears. The poor bab cried himself to sleep. And I see he found my gift. It seems like he liked it to because he was hugging the bunny who was curled up and fast asleep with him. I sat on the edge of the bed which woke him up. I turned to him and put a hand in his hair"im sorry. I didn't mean to wake you. Go back to sleep." he sat up and crawled his way over to me, still hugging the bunny.

Alex's P.O.V
I was gonna make this super awkward but my mind wouldn't let me process any words. I crawled over to him while still holding the bunny and kissed him before he could say anything else.

Alex's P.O.V
I eventually put my head on his lap and sniffed. He seemed shocked, but I expected that. He eventually played with my hair and quietly asked"you ok?" I shook my head slowly. He lay down next to me and hugged me" you found the gift I see, you like him? " I gave a weak smile and nodded. He hugged me protectively and played with my hair. I sighed and closed my eyes, trying to sleep. "what you thinking of naming him?" he asked as he pulled down my bandana when I fixed it after the kiss. "Tux, short for Tuxedo." he nodded and closed his eyes as well, styling and parting my hair into sections. Tux curled up between the two of us and I curled up a little, falling asleep almost instantly.

(A/N:I'm sorry guys. I'm trying to find the motivation to draw things relating to the story but I'm failing a little. I just end up being motivated to draw my newest baby(the little raptor dude). I'm trying. I'll do better... I hope
Anyway, by for now my wonderful chickens
