Beautiful Disaster

Ch.10

Alec told me he was taking me home and I didn't respond due to the fact that I was fuming. Dina drove my car home while I rode in his truck.

When we got to my front door we all went in Dina grabbed the first aid kit and handed it to Alec. He lifted me up on the kitchen counter and got to work on my hand.

I was so upset that I didn't even notice my knuckles were bruised. "You pack one hell of a punch Sugarplum." He said in an attempt to make a joke.

When I looked at his face I caught a hint of an emotion. "Are you actually proud of me right now?" I say as he wrapped my hand up.

He nods and gives me a laugh, "Hell yeah. Did you see his face? Although I do hate the fact your hands got hurt in the process." He gives my knuckles a small kiss and I smile.

He was making me feel better. He had one of those laughs that made people want to smile after hearing it.

"He deserved it." I say.

"I know he did." And the room was silent again. "Okay all done." He says after he was done wrapping my hand.

"Thank you."

"No problem but next time tell me to punch him for you so you don't get hurt again." He says poking my side.

"No, I needed to do that. It's personal." I say not wanting to get into why I have a brother yet he's not longer around.

"I know and I won't pry. When you're ready we'll talk."

"Same goes for you." I say referring to whatever the beef between him and Carter was.

He gives me a nod and changes the subject. "Come on lets go get you into bed. I know you're tired." He says before helping me off the counter and walking me the upstairs.

Dina was laying on the couch watching tv and when she saw us she paused the movie. "Hey I'll be down here if you need me." She says and I give her a nod.

Once we got to my room Alec's eyes fall on to my guitar. "You play?" He says and I shrug.

"I use to." I say walking towards my vanity and grabbing a long t shirt and some shorts. "I'll be back." I mutter before walking to the bathroom.

Since my anger was now subsiding my hand was starting to hurt so I changed as fast as one with only one hand could.

When I got back to my room Alec was laid out on my bed. His arm was over his eyes and his breathing was even.

He probably came to the school so he could pick me up, drive me home then head back to his dorm to take a nap. I had made him come all the way back to take care of me.

I felt so bad.

I quietly made my way to my hamper and dropped my clothes in it before walking to Alec's foot. As I was taking his shoes off he jerked up on the bed. "Are you really trying to steal my shoes Sugarplum?" He says and I feel my face get red.

I looked like I got caught red-handed when I was just trying to help. "No, I was just taking your shoes off so you could get comfortable. You can't take a nap on my bed with shoes on." I say before going back to take them off.

"You want me to take a nap with you in your bed?" He says shocked. "I thought you hated me."

"I don't hate you." I say placing his shoes in the corner. "I just know your tired and I feel bad so I was going to go sleep in the guest room." He shakes his head and pushes himself up more on the bed.

"I'm not kicking you out of your own room. Come on and lay down." He says patting the side next to him.

I could've just went to go lay down in the guest room or I could've made him go lay down in the guest room but instead I did neither. Instead I hesitantly laid down next to him.
