Our Own Roller Coaster *ON HIATUS*

[32] I STILL WANT TO KEEP HIM

Hey, I'm still alive. Sorry for taking so long.

ALEXA'S POV:

I woke up to the sound of barking and voices. I slowly opened my eyes and sits up, leaning against the headboard. I looked at the scene in front of me, still confused and sleepy.

All of my family are here. Stone, Hunter and Hanna just watched from the edge of my bed, the twins are cooing at Harley while my parents are hovering over me.

"What?" I said in a sleepy voice.

"Whose dog is that, Alexa?" mom asked, pointing at Harley.

"His name is Harley and I found him on the streets so I bought him home." My voice raised just a bit to tell her that I'm serious.

"You know how I feel about pets Alexa. I hate them." My mom groaned.

"I swear I'll take care of him, mom. I'll train him and make sure he don't cause any trouble. And whatever you say, I still want to keep him." I looked up, my eyes full of courage.

"What about the foods? And other supplies? You're going to use our money?"

"Of course not. I'll make sure he's well fed with my own money."

My mom sighed and looked at dad. Dad shrugged.

"It's fine if you wanna keep him. But take a good care of him. He may be a little puppy but he has feelings too, okay?" He looked at me sternly.

I nodded gratefully. "Okay."

Then, they all walked up except for my brothers. They hopped on my bed with Harley trailing behind.

"So, what's his name again?" Stone asked looking at Harley as he snuggled in my arms.

"Harley."

They nodded. "Wise choice."

"I know."

Hunter stared at him and suddenly gasped.

"He have different colored eyes?!"

"Yup. I've read it in the internet once, it's a rare case called heterochromia. Sick isn't it?" I said proudly.

Hunter tried to reach out for him but Harley barked making him pull his hands back.

I laughed. "Looks like he hates both of you."

"Oh come on. No one can resist my charm." Stone claimed and tried to pet Harley but only to get the same response.

I smirked and raised my brow. "You sure?"

They groaned. I laughed again before bringing Harley up to my face. "Hey, it's okay lil' devil. They're friends."

He barked as if he understands it. I slowly put him on Hunter's lap and he instantly relaxed on it. Hunter pet his head and he let out a small bark.

The three of them eventually got along with each other and Harley whimpered a bit when they let go of him, claiming that they're tired.

"There's pizza!" Hunter called out before he walked through the door. I leaped from the bed making Harley barked a bit by my sudden move.

I run downstairs with Harley hot on my heels. I grabbed four slices of pizzas and put it on the plate. Then, I took a bottle of coke from the fridge and hopped on the couch in front of the TV.

I flipped through the channel until I stopped at the Ellen show. I put the remote down and ate my pizza as I watch Ellen teasing the guest she's having.
