Can I Be Your Favorite?

Chapter 4

BloodClanIsTheBest
Alec's POV

"No! Don't go! It's Otay! " I felt a pressure on my arm and stopped dead in my tracks.
I glared back to see the big blue eyes staring up at me. It was kinda cute.
Don't look at me like that, just because I pretend to be an ass so people won't test me doesn't mean I don't find things cute.
"Sorry kid. I know when I'm not wanted." I felt bad when he started to tear up but I can't stay for too long. It's not safe with her around. Not for me at least. I was just about to head to my room when I heard his voice and my heart picked up speed. "Alec, you can stay if you want to." I couldn't help but stare at the boy behind the glasses. Yeah, I may have a crush on the nerd. Sue me. This statement seemed to surprise others just as much as it did me cause he earned a once in a lifetime glare from Erin.
I was frozen there in that spot, staring at him probably looking like a dumbass. And then I finally found my voice, not being able to hide my disbelief. " You're not serious." "Of course I am. Please stay."
I glanced around the room and at the 3 alters I knew of but didn't know. I think their names are Liu, Bailey and that new kid. His name's Liam er something. Anyways, the girl I knew as Liu smiled at me and actually spoke nicely to me. "Yeah, Hun. C'mon." I let out a sigh, trying to get myself together. "Fine ..." "Yayy!!" Next thing I knew, my arm was grabbed and I was being dragged down the stairs towards the others. Everyone seemed happy to be around me... Everyone except Erin. I could tell how annoyed her tone was when she grumbled, "Fine I guess..."
I stayed curled up silently in the corner the whole time. I'm too scared that they'll hate me more if I speak so I just sit and watch them have fun until I notice Jax standing over me. "Mind if I sit with you?"
He stared at me for a minute longer before I shook my head. I thought he was joking until he sat next to me, a little too close for comfort but I'm not complaining.
I was about to take his hand but then I remembered how germaphobic he was and really didn't want to make the one person I actually loved hate me. So I let go of that plan and leaned into the wall so he didn't feel like he has to touch me. "What do you think of Liam?"
Ok. How the hell am I supposed to answer that? Alright, calm down. Just play it cool. I gave him a shrug, "He's fine I guess." "I think he really likes you." "It seems that he likes Everyone." "I suppose. He is very sweet, I'll admit." "Yeah. I guess."
He let out a slight laugh and I looked up to see Liam jumping up and down, all excited about.... Something. "I think it'll be nice having someone like him around."
"Good for you." "That's what I told Erin when you first showed up." "Well, sorry I proved you wrong." "No you didn't. My statement still stands."
" As if. I'm not even really around." I wanted nothing more than to cry right now. But I took a deep breath and looked away from the boy next to me. " I broke your nose..." "It's better now, isn't it?"
"I guess..." "Besides, I don't blame you. I was being kind of annoying." "You were just trying to be friendly... I was being an ass." "I was also invading your personal space."
Is that what he really thinks? I looked at him in both awe and disbelief. "How?" "I wouldn't leave."
"It's fine. You were just being nice." "I suppose."
That's all that was said for a long while before I couldn't take anymore of the silence. "I should probably get back to my room." I started to get up but I almost fainted at his voice. It wasn't his usual monotone pitch but it was filled with emotions, I wasn't used to it ... But I think I like it. "You don't have to... I mean you could stay longer if you want."
"I should. I don't wanna bother you guys any more." "You're not bothering us" "Sure I am. I'll get outta your way." I waved off his untruthful comment as I headed up the stairs. "Do you want me to go with you then?"
I stayed silent for a long while as I tried to decide my answer cause if I'm being truthful, I like his company. "If you want." I only gave him that comment as I continued on my way. It didn't take him long for him to get up and follow me.
