Beautiful Tragedy

Chapter 24

"Well Jack is my brother" James said with nervous eyes.

I looked at him in disbelief. How could they be brothers? My teeth clenched because I had no idea what to say.

"Alex? Are you mad?" His eyes saddened as he held his stare at me. I couldn't form words so that they could come out of my mouth. I just sat there in shock.

"Please say something. I couldn't bear the thought of your anger towards me. " I saw a tear role slowly down his cheek. Although I couldn't say anything, I reached up and wiped it for him. His face rose to look at me. He sat there waiting for me to talk.

"Umm... Okay." That's all that would come out of me. My heart was still racing when he wrapped his arms around my waist to pull me closer.

"Okay?"

"Yeah, I mean you can't help him being your brother but can I ask you something?" I looked him in the eye waiting for a response.

"Is that the only reason you liked me?" My eyes were now looking widely.

"No of course not. I've liked you since the first time I saw you with spaghetti all over you. It's just if you didn't go to Australia then I probably would've had more courage to ask you out. But you did and ended up with my brother whom I believe to be an ass. You fell for him and he broke your heart. And I didn't want to seem like the type to be exactly like my brother. I wanted to show you me for me not you expecting me to be like my..." I cut him off.

"Hey hey calm down its okay. I'm not mad. " I put my hand on his shoulder and he looked at my with his daring eyes. I pulled him close enough so that I could hug him. I felt his body loosen as soon as I pulled him closer.

"Good. " he closed his eyes as he laid in my shoulder.

"Okay, well I gotta go. I'll text u later. " I smiled and started walking. That is until he pulled my arm to come back and pulled me until our lips almost touched.

"What are you do.." He cut me off with a kiss. I at first was surprised by this but I eventually gave in and began to kiss him back. He bit my bottom lip asking for entrance which I let him have. The kiss became intense and more passionate.

I finally pushed him off knowing I had to leave. "Okay, I really need to go." I gave him one last kiss on the cheek and left.

"Goodbye beautiful. "

I walked back towards my car and got in to drive home.

I walked into the house and threw my keys onto the table. Connor was in the living room singing along to the talent show scene of "Mean Girls" I wanted to laugh but I knew I had to get a video.

I recorded the whole thing up until he turned around with a shocked expression. "HELL NO!!!! ALEX!!! GIVE ME THAT PHONE!" He made a dash towards me and I ran to the kitchen and put on the chair before I say on it.

I don't know why I thought that would help but Connor lifted me off and took my phone into his hands. He turned it on and tried to get in but I had a passcode. " FUCKING PASSWORD !"

I began to laugh hysterically. " Stupid ass!" I kept laughing and he came next to me to pick me up and threw me on the couch.

He sat on my stomach. "Delete it or I will fart on you." He said wi seriousness in his eyes.

I squirmed beneath him trying to get out. I eventually knew it was pointless so I gave in. "Fine. Just get off. "

"Psych! " he farted on my stomach . It was so gross.

"EWW GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME!!!" All my anger turned into energy and I shoved him off and he fell on the floor laughing. I got off the couch and walked towards my room.

"I'm sorry ALEX! " he said still laughing .

"No fuck you. Now I'm really gonna post this shit. "I gave him the death stare.

"No please! " his eyes looked at me with regret.

"40 bucks and you have to drive me wherever I want until my birthday."

"Fine. " he seemed mad but couldn't do anything because I have the video.

"Yeah, now go make me some ice cream. Love ya Connor."
