I was changing when Alex came to my door."Coming."I opened the door and continued looking for my top."Eyes closed.Coming in.""Good decision."I couldn't find my top."Fuck it I'll just wear a dress."Alex laughed."Let me look dumbass.What am I gonna look for?"I chuckled."Open our eyes.I have a shirt."He opened his eyes."See this skirt?I'm looking for it's identical top."Then he started looking in my closet."Here."I snatched it."You are an angel and I love you."He rolled his eyes and I went to the bathroom.

"How do I look?"I turned around."Good."I smiled.We went downstairs and they were already there."I'm so sorry guys.I couldn't find my top for thirty minutes."Mel smiled."We just came."We ordered and while we were eating I saw my grandparents entering the hotel."Can you guys excuse me for a minute?"They nodded and I left."What happened?"

"It's still on going.We are here for a few more days."I sighed."I'm sorry grandpa.But I couldn't let him be the reason of our family's downfall.I just burst it all out.I am so sorry."He kissed my forehead."I know.And you were right."I sighed."I'm going to go before Alex suspects something.I love you guys."They said it back and I went back to the dinner table."I'm sorry.""No it's alright."Then James went a bit silent."Is everything ok?""Yeah.It is."Then he got a fire message.His eyes widened a bit but went back to normal real fast."Are you sure everything is alright?"He nodded."Actually no.I have bit of a headache.Do you guys mind if I go to my room?"We shook our heads."I should go with him.See you guys later."Mel left afterwards.

Then my phone rang."My mundane friend.I'll be back."Alex nodded and I went outside to talk."Hey Karen.How are you?"She chuckled."I'm good.You said you'd be back for the summer holiday.We went to your house.You weren't there.I was wondering if you'd like to hang out with us?"I chuckled."I would love to but...I'm in Bahamas with my grandparents and little cousin."She cleared her throat."Oh...that's actually pretty cool."I laughed and she joined me."Things are pretty fucked up.I wish I was there.Maybe you guys could facetime me and I will feel like I'm there."

"Wait.We're trying to connect you to the tv."And we started facetiming."So what changed while I was gone?"Tehy were talking to me when I saw Ralph walking my way.I lowered the phone."What are you doing here?"I sighed."You saw what went down.Do you really need to ask me that?"He shook his head."But it's a nice and extremely easy way to piss you off."I rolled my eyes."You know for a moment I thought you actually cared when you found me in the ball room.But you're still as fucked up as you were Fern.Still.Now if you'll fucking excuse me I need to get the fuck away from you."I turned around to leave but he spun me around."I didn't excuse you yet."

I scoffed."Are you for fucking real?I bet your dad is the reason why the debate is still happening."He rolled his eyes."Him and Crooks."I chuckled."And you expect me to stay here?Stand next to you?"He nodded."Do me a favor and go to hell."I walked away.Then I heard Karen.The phone is still open."Girl what was that?Why didn't you tell us that you had a boyfriend?He sounds hot."I rolled my eyes."He's more of an enemy than a friend.Let alone boyfriend.Fuck him and his dad!I gotta go guys."Then I hung up on them and found Alex."Alex go to your room.C'mon get up.Go to your room."

"What's wrong?""If I want to talk it won't be among mundanes.So get up."He sighed."No you sit down."I sat down."I don't know why he hates me.I really don't.I'm trying to understand.I'm trying to remember if I ever wronged him in a very bad way but...nothing.Nothing.I see no reason that he hates me.Or his father.Like they swore on their lives to make me feel miserable.It doesn't end with them either.Hatch hates me for no reason.I know she's in love with him but I did nothing to her.Or kept him from going to her.I don't care if they date each other but she is hell-bent on blaming it on me.Then there is his father.The man is looking for a loophole.Once he finds I'm done for.I'm tired Alex.I'm so fucking tired.I'm just fourteen and I can only relax myself down if I drink and numb out the feelings.Or chant a spell which mostly doesn't work.I shouldn't be like this Alex.I-I-I'm just...I'm just tired."

"Let's get some fresh air.Huh?"I nodded as that one single tear dropped.As we got out I took my phone out."Who are you calling?""My mundane therapist.Or I'm going to go crazy."He took the phone from me."Look I understand that you are upset but what you need is not a therapist."I tried to get my phone."Alex give me my phone back.I need to talk with her.Maybe she'll get me on my medication again.I don't know.I need to talk to her please."He backed away."Medication?"I sighed."Please let me talk to her.I need to talk to her."

"What you need is to stop hiding your feelings!What you need to do is cry!Scream!Yell!I'm ok with all!You don't need a therapist or medication!"I took my phone."Let the professional decide that for me Alex.Go up to your room."He scoffed."Unbelievable.You think I'll leave you like this?"I lost it.I was shaking."ALEX GO TO YOUR ROOM!"I have never once yelled at him this loud.He was like a best friend to me.A brother more than a cousin."Go call you therapist.Get your medication.I don't care anymore.Go to hell Rose."

"You don't mean that."He sighed."But I do."Then he turned around and left.With my hands shaking I called my therapist and told her everything.She knows I'm an elemental.And I was right.I need to get back on my medication."Ok.Alright I'll-I'll talk to my grandparents."She sighed."It's good that you called me."I sighed."Or I would lose my mind.I really would."Before she hung up to phone she told me to listen to her one last advice."Your cousin is right Rose.You need to cry.You need to stop bottling up your emotions.Trust people.And go be the person you want to be.I know it took you time to trust me.And it's been less than a year that you started crying in front of me but you need to let people know that you are not an meotionless robot."

"I-I-I'll try.Starting with Alex and Dexter.I will."She sighed."My little side note.Tell your grandparents about Fern wanting you dead."I nodded."Good night.""Good night Rose."I hung up.She e-mailed my perscription and I went to a pharmacy close by.I got my medication and came back to the hotel.
