Alex's P.O.V

The entire ride back to The Bridge was silent. Neither of us said anything. And everytime I tried to, he cut me off with a glare.

After about the tenth time of trying to explain myself, I gave up. At this point I was angry at him as well. It's not like I chose to be what I am.

I mean I didn't even know I was a part of the Magix till a couple weeks ago!

But you could've told him.

No I couldn't have, and if I had earlier he would have probably reacted the same way.

"Get out of the car.", He says in a low voice, not looking at me.

"Nate, if you would just let me explain.", I start but he cuts me off.

"I need some time to think Alex. Just go.", He says, his knuckles turning white from gripping the steering wheel.

Pursing my lips, I get out of the car and walk towards the pile of work that I had left before we left.

My emotions were all over the place and I didn't know whether to be angry at Nate, sad that I might get kicked out or frustrated that I was a part of the Magix, and I had no control or choice.

Getting back to the stairs that I was working on I put all my emotions into what I was doing to try and get some control over them.

"Alex!", I suddenly hear from behind me.

I turn around to find Ben standing behind me, worry written all over his face.

"I've been calling to you for the past minute.", He says slowly.

"I'm sorry.", I say softly dropping the hammer to the floor and wiping the sweat from my forehead.

I could feel all the emotions I had bottled up over the past few weeks coming to the surface. And I hated not having any control over them.

"What happened out there?", He asks slowly.

"Nothing.", I say quickly, turning my back to him and going back to inspecting the staircase.

But my vision was slowly clouding with tears and everything was slowly getting more and more blurry.

"Look, you don't have to tell me anything. But Nathan can be a little hard headed sometime. Just go talk to him, sort it all out." Ben pauses for a while but I knew I wouldn't be able to respond without a sob so I just gave him a slight nod.

"Alright.", He says slowly and then I hear him walk away.

I stand there just staring at nothing for a while, my eyes unfocused and my mind on everything that had changed for me over the last few weeks.

And as I stand there my sadness slowly turns to anger.

How dare he?! He doesn't know half the things that I've been through!
