One step ahead

Perfect world

"Alex wasn't always the silly guy Mrs. Spring, he had more heart than my Literature teacher" I said quietly. Mrs. Spring nodded along as if she knew all of this already.
  "He was a really smart boy you know, bet Kelly tells you that all the time" Mrs. Spring frowns. "Oh yeah she does, but knowing him firsthand gives more of an appeal to him and well I always understood Alex he was quite bold and extravagant, I wonder why..." I trailed off realizing Mrs. Spring was about to cry.
"Nobody would understand him, nobody not even me, do you know what the doctor said?" Her bright glossy eyes looked at me with pain, "they said he was murdered, it wasn't suicide" at that my eyes widened murdered that word, Alex Spring murdered that's impossible, "do they know who did it, I mean with such accusations there must be proof right?". "It was a knife in the heart and Alex was said to be dragged up stairs, some idiot must've planned this I wish I was home" she spoke with pure rage but I knew two things nobody was home that night and everyone in our whole school knew this.
  "What is it hun? What's wrong?" She asked wide eyed. "Well um did Dylan tell you what happened that night?" I asked half afraid half anxious. "What happened" she looked at me with rage I felt a little deflated now "Alex threw a party that night because of a promotion at work and told everyone that his house was free, I didn't go me and Dylan were at my house playing video games but I heard it finished up early".
  "You kids and your stupid ideas" she shook her head, "why couldn't you all just tell me, I have an 18 year old and a 16 year old I would've been okay-" she cut herself and begun to cry "had an 18 year old" I frowned "it's okay Mrs. String Alex is much happier now", "I suppose you're right" she nodded "can you check on Dylan inside?" "Sure" I got up and walked upstairs to Dylan's room and knocked.
"I don't want visitors mom" he answered, "it's Paisley" I replied anxiously, "still no" he answered "come on Dylan don't be like that" I was beginning to get annoyed but I understood "don't act like we're together you moron, you're not my girlfriend so scram!" he shouted "oh yeah then where is she let's call her maybe she can get you out" I joked "she's dead okay with my brother!" he yelled. Silence, his girlfriend broke up with him months ago and I know he was pretending she was dead but the joke is becoming harder.
"Dylan I'm leaving" I said about to walk away when the door opened. "Come on" he nodded his head to inside his room. I walked in with him and he slumped on the bed watching out his window, "why does it gotta be so blunt, your brother was murdered but ayy atleast you're alive amirite" he mocks " don't be stupid nobody said that because doctors don't speak like that and neither do normal people" I say resting my head on his shoulder, "oh and what do you know about being normal huh?" "Good point I'm the furthest thing from normal" he nodded in agreement "but you're the coolest tomboy ever and you knew Alex really well" he smiled and I smiled back. We sat there for a few minutes talking about our memories with Alex.
"Do you remember that time Alex decided to grow out his hair and on his birthday when he bent down to blow out the candles his hair caught on fire" Dylan burst into laughter and I joined in. "Do you remember the day Kelly accidentally threw down her ice cream cone so he threw down his too and the vendor told them clean it up" I laughed "yeah he got an earful"
I stared off into the distance watching the stars twinkle in the sky and then my eyelids became heavy I felt myself slumping. "Are you falling asleep?" "Mhmmm" I said before my eyes fell shut.
