MISS I Don't Do Love

Chapter one

"Alex come on down, Liam is here" mom tells from downstairs. "Send him up" I yell back. So Liam and I have been friends since secondary school so we kind of grew up together. He's my bestfriend and brother. At first my mom was skeptical about our friendship firstly because he is a boy and also because of my father's death. She was afraid I might hurt him and hurt myself. My dad was everything to me. My bestfriend, lover, protector and provider and when he left me , I became closed off until Liam.

Flashback

"Alex baby don't push me away. You're all I have left sweetie. It's okay to cry. Since your father died you've been numb. You've not shed a tear or said a word to me. Baby please I love you so much and it's killing me seeing you like this and not knowing what to do. Just say something, do something for me to know you're okay. Please! " I just stare at my mom in tears but don't say anything. Instead I walk out the door without a second glance. This has been our routine since my dad died 6months ago. I love mom but there's nothing I can do. I'm afraid if open my mouth to say something or cry, I might just shatter beyond repair and it'll all become real. And I'm not ready for that.
As I enter the school gates all memories of that day come back to me but I blink and push them in the back of my mind. Heading to class with my head down, a few students on the hallway make way for me to pass. Not out of respect but because they're probably scared. You see since my dad died I developed extreme anger issues. Instead of using my mouth to talk I use my fist. When I get to my desk I notice a bag on it. I immediately clench my fist at the sight. I don't want anyone near me. Everyone knows that so either this person has a death wish or a new student. My first thought was to throw the bag on another desk but deciding not to be rude I push it to the side and take my seat. After a few minutes the class starts getting too noisy and we had about 30min before the teacher arrives. I take out my earphones and plug them in while resting my head on the desk. I was so lost in the music that I didn't realize someone approaching my desk. A tap on my shoulder startles me and out of reflex I grab the hand twisting in the process before hitting it on the desk. I'm now standing up and the class is dead quiet. Probably waiting for show but I don't care. My eyes are brewing with anger as a stare directly into the brown eyes in front of a me. A boy. He doesn't seem scared or anything. He just stands there looking at me with those eyes filled with understanding. Who does that? If it were someone else we'll probably be exchanging blows by now or they'll be screaming profanities and curses at me. After a few minutes I hear him say "I'm sorry " . That's brings me out of my trance and by now all anger is gone, replaced by only annoyance. I release his hand out my dead grip noticing a slight bruise. I stare at it for a few seconds before the teacher interrupts. Now I'm angry all over again. I grab my backpack and head out the door ignoring the calls from my teacher and Brown eyes. I lost control and hurt someone again after promising myself I wouldn't. But he shouldn't have touched me. Nobody touches me. At least not anymore. When I get to my hideout, an old abandoned classroom, I take a deep breath. This is what I need right now calm and quiet.

Present

"You have that faraway look on your face what are you reminiscing about?" Liam says with a big smile on his face. He probably already guessed though. "Our first encounter " I reply with an equally matching smile. "Come here" he orders as he opens his arms which I quickly throw myself into. "I'll never forget that day or any other day after that love" he whispers holding me tightly as if afraid I might disappear. I melt at his words hugging him more. We stay like that for a few minutes before moms voice interrupts us reminding us of the time. Reluctantly we pull apart while laughing. Mom knows if she doesn't interrupt us we'll never make it to the show. I've been dying to attend the Annual Dance Festival and this year we're finally going. I'm so excited to see the Fon's palace and all the cultural exhibitions especially the beauty pageant and the cultural dances. "Ready?" Once again I'm being pulled out of day dreaming by Liam. "Ready as can be". He smiles knowingly as we exit the house yelling bye to mom who just looks at us with fondness and love. She's probably naming our kids by now but unfortunately for her I Don't do LOVE.
