Part 11- Wish I Could Go Back

Octavio puts his arm around my shoulders as we walk outside. He said that getting out of the house will help me feel a bit better. I guess he was sort of right, because the fresh air and walking arround does make me feel nice. We were heading to the bar.

"So, how are things between you and your dad?" Octavio asks. I sigh and think.

"I was never as close to him as I was my mother. I still love him alot, but I just never really connected with him. I also had a half brother. I never really knew him before he died. Based on how he died and why im sort of glad I didn't." I say.

"Why? Who was he?" Octavio asks.

"Well, his name was Alexander Nox. He used to work for some chem lab and was wanted for murder before he was found dead. Thank God he wasnt my real brother." I say with a sigh. Octane chokes on nothing.

"Okay, hold on a second-" he says, "your brother is Alexander Nox and he worked at a chem lab?"

"Yeah? My dad had him before he met my mother."

"That makes sense." He says and shrugs.

As we walk I feel him get closer to me. I pretend not to notice and I grab his hand, intertwining my fingers with his. My face heats up and I look away from him.

He grabs my hand back and nudges me. I look back at him and he smiles.

"Your cute ya know." He says, making me blush.

"No, you." I say awkwardly. He laughs. We walk through a park. I think its the same one that i walked through a few days ago. Walking around, I realize that it is. As we walked through the park, people stared at us and whispered, probably recognising us from the games.

Octavio just ignored the stares and acted as if they went even there, so I tried to do the same.

"Fresh air making you feel a bit better?" He asks while bumping into me a little.

I nod and look into his eyes. He had beautiful eyes. They were a beautiful shade of milk chocolate brown.

"Thats good. I told you it would make you feel better." He says with a smile. We end up deciding to head to the same bar we were at last night.

"So," I ask, "why do you do the apex games anyway?"

"Well, mostly just for the rush." He responds.

"That makes sense. I guess I'll just be doing it for fun at this point. Or for my father." I say.

"Well, at least I'll be able to see you all the time. Thats a plus." He says. I hug him and chuckle at how cheesy that was.

As we near the bar, I feel Octavio let go of my hand and put his arm arround my shoulder. The butterflies start throwing a party again, but thankfully it wasnt at the 'rave' level.

I cant beleive I really was this touch starved. Any physical affection from anyone but my parents was almost foreign. I bite my lip and think back to our kiss. I can still feel his lips on mine, and man, it felt nice.

As we walk into a bar. We see Alex sitting at a table by himself. I decide we should sit with him, at least for now.

"Hey Alex!" I say and walk over to him.

"I need to talk to you for a minute. (Y/n), we will be right back." Octavio says.

They both walk out of the bar,and I see them through a window.

Alex seemed distressed and Octavio seemed like he was panicking. What the fuck is going on?

"Dude, your telling her, im not!" I hear Octavio shout.

They both end up walking in after a few minutes and sit down.

We attempt small talk and we have a few drinks.

"Whats going on? I havemt been in a room this tense sense I got put in the same room as all my old boxing opponents." I say with annoyance. I just want to know what the fuck is happening.

"What did your father look like?" Alex asks, "I just need to make sure."

"Well, he had brown hair and a scruffy beard, green eyes and he is kinda tall." I say with confusion. "Why is that important?"

"His name is (father's name) Nox. He works as a garbage collecter on our home planet, Demeter." He says with a sigh.

"How.... How did you know that? You said 'our' home planet?" I ask quietly, having a bit of nervousness in the pit of my stomach.

"I knew that because I am his son. I am Alexander Nox." He says, looking directly at me.

Well, thats kinda wack.

"Thats impossible. You... You are dead." I say with a confused tone.

"Thats what they thought. I deffinatly am not dead though." He says with a chuckle.

I try to wrap my head arround this situation.

"Okay, other than this being insane as fuck, 1 guess its cool." I say, trying not to act like I just said I would hate having him as a real brother.

Well, shit. I didnt even think he was alive, let alone ever thinking I would meet him. I sigh. Trying to wrap my head arround everything that happened during the past three days was insanely difficult.

"Okay, well I'm going to go. I'll talk to you later (Y/n), same with you Octavio." Alex says. He gets up and leaves, leaving Octavio and I alone.

"So, he is just hitting me with the 'im not dead' bomb and leaving?" I chuckle and shake my head.

"Yeah, he isnt good with emotional stuff. I'll get us a round." He says with a smile.

As he gets us some drinks, I look arround the bar just to see who is arround. Not anyone I recognize.

Once Octavio gets back with the drinks, we talk about everything. About my mother, about my father and even about how we both found out about the Apex Games. By the time we were done talking, we both had had well over enough to drink.

My words became slightly slurred and Octavio was really red and laughed alot. We turned to coversating less and more laughing and looking into each other's eyes.

"So, I guess I was your first kiss, huh? He asks with a smile. My face turns red and I nod.

"Well, yeah." I say, "I had never really been in a relationship before."

He fake gasps and I laugh. He gets closer to me and puts his arm arround me, sending shivers down my spine. The butterflies have now come back as he leans into my ear and whispers.

"Well, I know for sure that I gave the best kiss that you have ever had."

I bite my lip as he pulls back and looks into my eyes. I lean closer to him and he leans closer to me, begining to close his eyes.

I close mine and our lips again collide, sending the butterflies in my stomach into 'rave' mode. This time, instead of pulling away, we continued to kiss each other, leaning into it more than we had before.

He had one hand in my hair and his other on the side of my jaw, while I had mine arround his neck. I feel him lick my lower lip, and not exactly knowing what to do, I do the same to him.

"I FUCKING CALLED IT! I FUCKING DID! BABE, YOU OWE ME TWENTY!" I hear Elliott yell. I jump and look to Elliott, who has Bloodhound beside him, who nudges him.

"Fine. But only fifteen because now they know that we are together." He says as he crosses his arms.

My face immediatly goes red and I look away from them. Oops, well I guess they know.
