Thirteen | For Now

Alexa's POV

Monday. I despised Mondays, they're the beginning of upcoming stress for the week. I get up from my bed and sit on the corner of it, turning my head to the window.

The day was wonderful though, warm sunshine, birds soaring through the air, fresh morning breeze, and everything that screamed a beautiful morning.

I sighed, not wanting to deal with stress as soon as i get out from my bedroom door.

As soon as i got ready, i stopped in front of my bedroom door, taking deep breaths. As i opened it, a heavy atmosphere revealed itself right to me.

I walked down the stairs, seeing my father sleeping on the couch, completely wasted. His tie was loose, collar was open, and he had a beer bottle right next to him.

The house was a mess, my mom's vases were broken, the tv was lopsided, broken things everywhere, and the walls looked like they were about to fall apart.

I closed my eyes and inhaled a deep breath, threatening the tears to go away.

I couldn't stay any longer and stormed out of the front door, in desperate need of fresh air to breathe.

Mia was picking me up, so I waited.

I glanced at my watch, 7:51. I was going to be late. I pull out my phone and send a text to Mia.

Me: hey you coming or what?

Mia: FUCK I'M SORRY

Mia: I FORGOOOTTTT

Me: you've got to be kidding mee

Mia: I was wasted last night okay? I'm skipping first period i swear my head is about to explode

Mia: sorry alexa. Take the bus or ask grayson to pick you up or something.

As she texted me that, she just gave me the perfect idea.

Me: its fine, get some rest. See you later. I'll just ask Grayson for a ride. :))

I clicked Grayson's contact and sent him a text.

Me: hey

Me: are you already in school?

Grayson: good morning gorgeous

Grayson: no not yet. Need me to pick you up ;) ?

I smiled.

Me: actually, yeah. Thanks Gray.

Grayson: sure. Be there in 5.

I see his car pull up and he beeps at me, making it hard to contain a smile.

I get comfortable in the passenger's seat as i drop my back on the backseat, feeling his eyes on me. When i finally meet his gaze, i chuckle.

"Eyeing me like a piece of meat, Mr. Dolan?" I say playfully, crossing my arms and raising a brow.

He turns away, growing red.

I laugh, facing back to the road as he starts to drive.

Out of the blue, he asks, "Can you walk properly?"

I turn to look at him, shaking my head as i see his proud smirk.

"My legs are functioning fine thank you." I say sarcastically.

We burst into a fit of laughter, filling the car  with happiness.

"I'm joking. You messed me up bad, daddy." Even i was shocked at my own words, i said it seductively but as a joke.
