Chapter 15

Alex's POV

I was walking down the block, more so limping, towards the park and the end of the road. I know I'm supposed to be resting but I can't, especially with everything that has happened. I'm going to regret this later with my leg. I sat on the swings and let my thoughts overflow. Now that Alida's "father" is gone, I can't help but to feel like something bad is going to happen. I don't want to worry Alida though she's been through enough....we kissed yesterday. I didn't know she had it in her and the best I could say was that cocky comment, gosh I'm so dumb. We never even had the chance to talk about it after, I want to know how she feels and that kiss made my feelings for her go even more crazy. I would do anything to make sure she's safe. I felt my phone buzz in my pocket, I took it out to see who was calling, it was Alida of course.

"Hello?"

"Hey where are you? You're supposed to be in bed." I chuckled.

"Miss me already?" It was silent for a while.

"Answer my question." I sighed.

"I'm at the park, I'll be home in 5 minutes." I hung up and started making my way back up the block towards the house. I had a strange feeling in me for some reason, like someone was watching me. I turned around but I didn't see anything or anyone. I turned back and kept walking, I couldn't walk that fast considering my condition but my pace definitely picked up a little more that I should've. I got into the house and locked the door behind me looking out the window, that was weird. I turned around and saw Alida and the top of the steps. I smiled but she didn't smile back looking down, I frowned and followed her eyes to my leg that was bleeding. Well that's beautiful.

"I'll go call your mom. Sit down." I nodded and sat on the steps. Not to long after Alida came down and sat on the step above me. She put her arms around me and put her chin on top of my head.

"She'll be here soon." I nodded.

"What were you doing?" She asked. I shrugged.

"I needed to think."

"About what?"

"Everything that has happened in the last 48 hours."

"I know, it's crazy. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I've been suffering from a man who isn't even my father but he was protecting me at the same time like that's so confusing."

"Yeah." I looked up at her.

"We never talked about what happened last night." I said, she looked at me with a smirk.

"What about last night?" I laughed.

"Good one. But seriously-"

"I don't know what you're talking about." I stared at her with a shocked expression.

"I'm kidding! We do need to talk about last night, but it looks like your mom just pulled up so we'll talk later. Okay?" I nodded and looked towards the door as I saw my mom struggle to open the door. Alida got up and helped her opened the door, she had a first aid kit with her.

"Jesus Alex you can't sit still for shit." I heard Alida chuckled behind her at the fact my mom just cursed, I rolled my eyes.

"I'm fine, it's not even that bad." It really wasn't that bad, I wasn't bleeding to death. I groaned in pain as my mom poured rubbing alcohol over my leg with no warning.

"Not that bad really?" My mom shook her head as she started to stitch up the part of my leg that had opened up. She patted my leg, like it wasn't injured, and got up.

"Okay you should be good. I'm going to go make dinner, Alida make sure she stays in the bed until." She nodded.

"I don't need a babysitter. Besides, Alida is more injured than me." I pouted.

"Yeah, but she's more responsible in a way." Alida smirked and started walking up the stairs.

"The queen has spoken. Let's go and rest your booboo." Alida giggled as I groaned and made my way up the stairs.

"Who knew getting a little scratch would mean I have to be trapped in this room all the time." I said. Alida frowned at me.

"It's not just a scratch Alex and you know that, and you're not alone in this room, you have me." She smiled, I looked up towards the ceiling and put my hands together.

"Lord, is this how I die? If not please save me." Alida pushed me and plopped on the bed pouting.

"You're an ass." I chuckled.

"Awe come on, I was joking." I patted her head and sat next to her. She shook her head.

"So, about last night, I-"

"I like you, I've actually always liked you. Since I've seen you that first day in class when we got partnered up. Ever since I saw you I always had a feeling to be there for you. You don't know how many nights I've stayed up and thought about you and your safety and if I had a chance with you or not and what happened last night just makes me think about you more. It's crazy how crazy you make me feel." Alida stared at me in shock, she was speechless. I was kind of surprised myself.

"I- Alex, that was so sweet, I can't even say anything compared to that."

"Just tell me if you feel the same or not." She leaned in so that our head touched and looked me in the eyes.

"I do."
