Part 8

Part 8

Includes; Panic attacks, flashbacks

Alex's POV

My breaths sped up and I quickly locked the door not wanting to deal with John or Thomas. I grabbed my packed backpack (for emergencies) and quickly unlocked the window. I'm on the 3rd floor- If I- what about... I pulled my backpack over my shoulders and stuffed my phone in my pocket. I heard frantic knocks at the door.

Oh god. It's just like...

Flashback;

My mother was cooking dinner when he came back. I heard the knocking as I played with my dolls. Mother opened the door "What took you so long?" He slapped her.

----

We had dinner and now it was just him getting drunk. I dropped my doll on the floor making a loud hollow clank sound.

"Shad-up, you stu- kid-" He slurred, I hurriedly picked up the doll not wanting to get in trouble. While picking it up I accidentally dropped my other doll making another loud sound.

I flinched and quickly picked up my doll. He stood up and slowly made his way to me with an empty bottle in hand, while muttering horrible words.

Flashback ended;

To sum it up I now have a deep scar on my back to recall that memory.

I pulled one leg through the window and then the other and slowly made my way down the building, you know for once I'm actually thankful for all the climbing that I've practiced during hurricanes.

I dropped to the floor. My eyes were spilling with tears. I made my way downtown.

I shoved my way through the crowd. I ran into someone and we both fell down "Alex?" Peggy asked with a worried tone.

"P-Peggy?" I asked, "Are you okay?" I nodded, She stood up and helped me up. "Come on, whatever happened we can talk at my dorm."

She pulled me through the crowd towards her dorm.

------

She slammed the door shut and brought me to the couch, "So... What happened?" She whispered/asked.

"Margarita Schuyler if you brought Maria over again just to have a make out session then you're in trouble!" Angelica yelled, Peggy turned red and I giggled "So you and Maria?" She shushed me.

"Who's tha- Alexander?" Angelica asked "God you look like shi-" "No swearing Angelica!" Eliza called from the other room. "Wait- Alexander?"

She rushed into the room "Oh my god! What happened?!"

I shook my head and curled up on the couch "I found him like that while walking back from my job," Peggy explained.

"Would you like to stay the night?" Eliza asked me, I nodded.

I think that Peggy and Angie thought that something was happening between me and Eliza because they both shot her a smug look. Eliza blushed and led me to her room.

Eliza gave me the spare bed in her room.

She sat me down "Did Thomas and John do something. I nodded and repeated what happened and showed her my wrist which was starting to fill up with more words.

She comforted me for a while and then we went to sleep. (In separate beds).

--------------

The next day I didn't go to school.

The same thing the day after that. My phone was blowing up with texts from my friends. The sisters didn't tell anyone that I was staying with them.

On the third day of me crying my eyes out Eliza snapped. I don't even know what happened. One second I was complaining to her and the next second she snapped.

I was sobbing while she hugged me. "Eliza-" She took a deep breath.

"Listen up Alexander. I know you have a bad history with soulmates but this is getting out of hands!"

I blinked "W- what?" I asked

"Has John or Thomas ever hurt you?" "W-well n-" "They are your soulmates, correct?" "Y-yes?" "Will they ever hurt you?" "Maybe?" She face palmed "They are your soulmates. They will NEVER hurt you. Your parents... They weren't soulmates. Because, soulmates would never, NEVER do that."

"But-" She slapped me. Not that hard but enough to get me to pay attention "They ARE your soulmates. Now go back there and hug them and get all lovey-dovey."

I nodded and grabbed my bag.

I made my way to my dorm. The butterflies in my stomach flew around making loop-de loops.

I knocked on the door. 'Last chance to leave...' I kept my feet glued to the floor. The door slowly opened and I heard a gasp.

John opened the door for me and pulled me into his chest. I sharply inhaled as color flooded my senses. Of course there were still gray spots... I once tried to smell light... Yeah I already know that I'm dumb :)

He quickly texted somebody and then he pulled me closer. I already know that my face is bright red. He lightly smiled when he saw my face.

The door opened and Thomas walked in; he also gasped. He walked over and lightly poked my cheek. I giggled while he sat down and clinged to me. The rest of the colors quickly appeared.

We just stayed like that for the rest of the night.

------

The next morning I woke up on a dorm mattress. I guess that was a dream then...

I got up and made my way to the kitchen. I poured myself a cup of coffee and sat down. A pair of hands hugged me from behind, I yelped and color flooded my world. I turned around and saw John. "You almost gave me a heart attack..." I whined in a playful tone.

He rolled his eyes and picked me up bridal style. He brought me to the couch, and cuddled.

"So..." John started "Do we tell the others?" I shrugged. "There is a tradition where we wait for the others to find out what happened... Do you want to do that?" I nodded "Why not?" Thomas stumbled into the room and took a picture of us "Awww."

"Tommy!" John called "We're gonna stick with the tradition." Thomas nodded and got coffee.
