"Everyone's here but him!""Fine, I'll go see what's up, okay?" Seth sighed "Okay. try to be quick!" Sarah is almost cut off as Seth hangs up the phone.
Seth switches on to another road, changing his route to Alex's place. He would attempt to call him himself but he's not answering anyone else so Seth figured he would have the same results
//Just time skip//
He pull up to the drive way and see's Alex's car there, meaning he's here. Seth parks his car and gets out. Walking up to the front door he hesitate before knocking.
He wait there for a minute, then knocks again. Nothing.
Seth doesn't know what to do now so he decides to call Sarah
"What is it? Did you find him?" Sarah asks as soon as she picks up the phone. "N-no, but he's not answering his door. So what do I do now?" Seth asks
"Check to see if the door is unlocked" Sarah says. Seth turns the knob only for it to stop half way "It's locked" Seth states
"Check the windows" Sarah suggests "As in look through them or check if they're..." Seth trails off "Both"
Seth sighs and walks around to the side of the house checking the windows, suddenly he spotted a window that was cracked open slightly.
Seth makes his way over there and pushes it open just a bit more, pulling him self up through the window. He entered the room quietly as possible as to not alert anyone that might be in there.
Once he gets fully inside he looks around, it appeared to be the living room.
Seth walks around, he had never been in Alex's house before and didn't know his way around the place.
He walked around the first floor, everything looked normal but no Alex. So he makes his way up stairs. They lead to a hallway with a few doors. Seth walks down the hallway and checks the rooms that are already opened.
He still can't find Alex, he stops in front of a closed door. He presses his ear against the door, he can't hear anything. He's not sure what he's supposed to do, if Alex is in there Seth doesn't want to get attacked by a startled Alex.
Seth does they only thing he can think of and he knocks quietly. He stands there for a few seconds before knocking harder. No responses. So he slowly opens the door.
Seth peaks into the room, it was a bedroom. He pushes the door open a bit more and sees a bed. He freezes
There was the shape of a person under the blankets. Seth didn't know what to do at that point and just stood there. A few seconds pass and the person turns over and faces Seth, they freeze too.
Seth and Alex just stare at each other, silence for what felt like minutes before Seth sputtered out an excuse
"S-sarah wanted me to come check on you cause you were late too filming but you w-weren't answering the door-"Alex stared at Seth a second, probably processing what he said "oh" was all he responded with. Seth stands there "Is something wrong?"
Alex doesn't respond, he closes his eyes and inhales deeply. Seth stares at his feet awkwardly, Alex Looks back up at Seth.
"Will... W-will you lay with me?" Alex asks, barely audible. Seth paused, looking up at "What?" He says, shocked by the sudden unexpectedly odd question.
Alex takes a minute before continuing "I'm sorry, it's weird" Alex covers his face with his hands, Seth steps forward a little "Wait-"
Alex uncovers one of his eyes and looks at Seth, waiting for an answer. "It's fine" Seth finishes. Alex uncovers the rest of his face "Oh! Uh- okay" Alex replies "You- you can just leave your shoes right there" He adds
Seth walked over after removing his shoes and sat on the edge of the bed. Alex hesitated a bit before holding out his arms. Seth moved slightly closer to him and laid down.
Alex wrapped his arms around Seth, covering them both up with the blanket. They lay there for a few admittedly awkward seconds before Seth breaks the silence "Alex...are you okay?" Seth asks
Alex pauses, he slightly nuzzles Seth's hair "I just didn't feel like getting out of bed this morning"
"There has to be more than that" Seth says "It doesn't matter" Alex replies. Seth looks up at Alex "I can tell there's more, Alex, you'd give us hell if we just 'didn't feel like getting out of bed'" Seth laughs at the last part
Alex laughs lightly "I just- I don't know. I just feel- I don't know..." Alex
Says "Elaborate" Seth replies "I just feel unmotivated, almost if the life is being drained from me at a pace I can't tell" Alex explainsSeth doesn't say anything, letting Alex vent "I hate it..." Seth then can hear Alex sniff and could feel his chest shutter
Seth looks up as slightly, Alex quickly wipes his nose "Alex, it's okay" Seth tells Alex taking his hand away from his face "I don't know what's wrong with me" Alex crys
Seth wraps his arms around Alex to comfort him better "I'm no doctor but you might be depressed" Seth offers Alex sniffs "how?"
"Sometimes it just happens, I know it sucks but you can go to therapy and it can help, But not only that you should just talk with people that you feel safe with" Seth gives Alex a smile, Alex smiles back and lays his head on top of Seth's "I'll try that"
//////////
Seth groans and blinks a few times as his eyes adjust to the mid afternoon light, he must've fell asleep while laying with Alex. An that was confirmed when he looked up at a sleeping Alex.
Seth smiles before realizing what woke him up. His phone was ringing, Seth pulls out his phone and looks at it. 'Sarah' the caller ID reads. Seth just continues staring at it deciding what to do.
He slowly presses on the red button, sliding it up. He smiles again, setting his phone on the end table and turning back to Alex, falling asleep once more.
