Chapter 39: Thank You

Hello readers! On the last chapter, Alex and Anna almost kissed but was stopped by Ivan's call. The rescue call he made for Liam. Anna rush down the moment she heard that Liam was in trouble. Shirley then caught Anna helping and holding the drunk Liam. She went forward, splashed water on Anna and pushed her. She was on the way home by herself but decided to stop leaned on the nearest wall as she cried her heart out. Lets continue..

Next morning..

" Where did you guys go?!" That was the first sentence that came out of Chandler's mouth the moment he saw Sean and Ivan in the living room..

" Liam was drunk, so we went to find him.." Ivan answered him honestly. Sean still focus on correcting his lyrics with a red ink pen that he was holding. Alex have now came out from his room, sitting on the sofa sleepily. He looked as though he just woke up..

" Show me what's done.." Alex stretched his hands for the papers spreading all over the coffee table. Ivan passed his papers to him but his eyes locked on Chan..

" I feel really bad though.." Ivan told Chandler while the leader took the papers from him, reading it..

" Why?" Chan asked with his hands on his hips..

" I called Anna down because Liam was looking for her but she got hurt instead.." Ivan was startled when the leader raised his voice..

" She what?! You what?! How?!" Alex seem to have woken up by now..

Ivan.. You woke the dragon up..

" Relax.. She's fine.. Her hand has some bruises that's all.." He tried to calm the leader down but it wasn't working.. He placed the papers that Ivan passed to him on the sofa as he stood up..

" She's home right?" He doesn't even look like he was talking to them. It seems as though he was talking to himself. He made his way to his room to change into any outfit he could find, anything that wouldn't require the paparazzi or fans to criticise.

" Yes.." Was all Ivan could say..

Alex rushed out of the house with his car keys in hand, driving off urgently towards her house.. He parked his car at the sidewalk and rushed out of his car, charging towards her door, knocking it. He totally forgot about the awkward kiss they shared previously. He looked at the time from his phone that showed 9:15 am. Hopefully she is awake..

He got frustrated after knocking for 5 minutes consistently.. There was no answer and it made him panic even more ... He took out his phone to call her, pressing his phone near his ear but stopped when he saw her walking towards him, she was walking as she held onto her wrist and a small white plastic bag hanging from her right wrist. He fastened his pace and walked towards her..

" Anna.. Your hand.." He pointed at her bandaged left wrist that she was holding on.. She looked at him, surprised.

" Alex? What are you doing here?" She asked..

" What happened to your hand?" He totally ignored her questions by asking another one. He took her left wrist in his hands, a little to roughly, earning a small yelp from her..

" What did the doctor say?" He asked, assuming she went to the doctor's since she had the nearby clinic logo printed on the small white plastic bag. She went to visit the neighbourhood doctor because her hand really hurts last night. It became so swollen and bruised. She didn't even have a good sleep last night because of her wrist so she decided to see a doctor first thing in the morning.

" I sprained it.." She repeated what the doctor told her.

" How did you sprained it?!" He asked, her left hand still in his but she just looked away. She knew she can't lie, especially not to him, so she decided to look away and kept silent about it..
