Mad Love [lams](BEING EDITED)

Meeting Alexander

~John~

"W-what?" I sputter.

"Did I stutter? I said I could end you and no one would know for a while" he says.

"Ok... W-well I'm John laurens and-"

"Save it" he cuts me off. "I already know who you are. Based on your accent I'm guessing you're from one of the first states. South Carolina perhaps?"

"Uhh...y-yeah But-"

"Of course im right. Anyways, your complexion tells me youre 20...21 years old. That also tells me you just recently graduated. And the fact you're working here means probably at kings college. Oh and you're a gay guy whos also single. Did I leave anything out?"

I was absolutely stunned. He only glanced from his journal once and knew who I was.

"How... H-how did you do that?"

"Its a skill I've mastered. I like to give everyone who comes... A bit of a scare before they "know me"."

He wasnt wrong about scaring me. I'm not sure whether i want to work here anymore. No. I need to do this. I need to prove angelica wrong.

"W-well then....I'm gonna ask you a few questions..." I motion towards bed and he scoots over, still writing.

"So Hamilton"

"Please, call me Alex"

Its unsettling how formal hes being. Acting casual as if he's innocent.

"So Alex, I'm gonna ask you some questions."

"Shoot. Wait, poor choice of words. Thats how one of my victims died."

I scoot away from him slightly.

"First off... Name, height and age?"

"Don't you have all that in some file somewhere?"

"Well, yeah, but knowing you-"

"You don't know me."

"...knowing you, I doubt any of that has been updated in a while."

"None of your fucking business."

Wow. Hes starting to show his true color.

"What about family"

"Shut. up."

"Im just asking about your family-"

"I said shut up"

"Whats wrong with talking about-"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP"

Theres a dead silence and the atmosphere suddenly weighs 51 pounds.

"Sorry" he starts. "I have a bit of a temper and family is a touchy subject"

Why is he being so casual?! Its disturbing and annoying.
I see this smile spread across his face.

"Whats wrong John? Cant handle a bit of formality?" He bursts into this laughing fit and i scoot a bit further away to where im on the edge of the bed.

Then realization hits me like a brick. This kid is insane, man!

He may be short for his age but he sounds capable of harming someone. That someone including me.

His laughing slows but he glances at me with a smirk. I wish I could tell you what was happening in his brain.

Alex picks his legs up and kicks me off the bed. Then he goes into another laughing fit.

I groan as I get up off the floor. "You're sick, you know. Sick" I state.

"Thank you good sir! I take that as a compliment!"

I check my watch- my watch.  The bastard took my watch. I turn back to him and put out my hand. He grabs it, pulling me towards him and pretends to chop it off.

"I'm smarter and quicker than i look dear Laurens" he says while tossing me my watch and freeing my hand.

"Next time you come, I'll tell you your fatal flaw! Hope you have a good nights sleep"

And with that, I left and was still alive.
