Alone 2: Bullets

39. Not this time Cinderella

Carla

"Because I love you dummy". I said then I skipped away like a little kid.

Did I really just say that.

I think it was all the ice cream that was talking.

I continued skipping until I got into my room and then my smile faded away when I saw Axel sitting on my bed.

"What do you want?" I asked him with my hands folded.

"Can't I come and see my favorite little sister". Oh he was trying to be charming.

Not this time Cinderella.

"It's not gonna work. Why don't you go kiss Tracy's feet"

"Listen lex. I was wrong. I should have listened to you before jumping into conclusions".

"Yeah whatever you can leave now".

"Nope. I'm not leaving until you forgive me and come watch a movie with me".

"Then get comfortable". I replied then I walked out of the room only to collide with Antoinette.

"Hey it's you".

"Please listen to your brother. I already explained everything to him and he's really sorry. Please forgive him for my sake". There she goes begging people again.

I took her hand and we walked back into the room.

"Listen up. I will forgive Axel on one condition"

"Which is?". They both said at the exact same time.

"You have to toughen up. No more little miss nice lady. You can't let the likes of Tracy treat you so badly. What if I'm not there to fight for you". I made my point clear.

"I know you would always be there for me. But neither the less I will try my best".

"In that case I'mma take you to bitch camp".

"Which is located right in here in Alexa's room". Axel just had to but in.

"Exactly. So what now?". I asked them both.

"Bear hug". Axel said at the top of his voice before he nearly squeezed the life out of me.

"Hey Ax the next time you repeat something like this I'm totally never forgiving you".

"Noted".

*******

Later that same day Jackson came over looking all bubbly.

" Why are you smiling like that?". I asked him with a puzzled look on my face.

"Well you remember Dale". Just mentioning his name made Jackson blush.

"Yeah what about him".

"He's in New York and he wants to meet up for dinner tonight".

"I smell love in the air".

"C'mon it's not love. More like a serious deep attraction".

"What ever you say Jackie".

"How's Theo?". Just hearing his name made me turn red. " I'm guessing everything is well?".

"Not exactly. But after today I definitely know that he doesn't hate my guts".

"What brought that conclusion?".

I went on to explain everything that happened today to him.

"Firstly I'm not surprised that you and Tracy fought. Honestly that bitch had it coming she's just lucky I wasn't there". Jackson started analyzing.

"I only went easy on her because she's pregnant". If she wasn't pregnant she would be bald right now

"As for Theo. He totally loves you. He just wants to see how much you love him".

"And how am I supposed to do that".

"With a montage of course".

The next week just went on with me pestering Theo.

I went jogging with him and I blabbed away with him not even paying attention.

I went to his house everyday.

I followed him absolutely everywhere.

Just so he could notice me.

He tried hiding it but I saw that he would smile whenever I showed up.

So to all the young girls out there. If you're trying to win a guy's heart.

Do a montage.

Shut up please. The other residents in my head shouted.
