The Richardsons

Video #61

"You know what day it is? It's April Fools day, silly. I haven't made a little snippet of my life in awhile and I think it shows. To be honest, there has just been a lot that has been going on in my life and now, I'm scared for Alexa. My big sister seems to be getting abused in her relationship and possibly cheated on. That whole relationship that they have is a red flag in general. Anyways, I'll end this before she barges into my room and saying that I invaded her privacy."

So, after I got thrown out of the car, my leg somehow did not break, it just was bruised and a little bloody. While Alexa has been on edge and it is now showing extremely badly, like she can't stay in a room with mom, dad, of even me for a moment.

I once followed her when she had to leave. I listened behind her closed bedroom door and heard sobbing, and some concerning things on her end of the phone.

"Please tell me what I did wrong!"

"Don't leave me!"

"You're the only one that actually understands me."

"Why would you do such a thing to me?"

"Chance, we love each other. Or, at least, I love you. I can't keep this relationship just being a one sided thing. Let's try and make up this time."

And, she would wake up at weird hours in the night and just leave her room and go somewhere in the house or in one of my bathrooms and cry.

That was the day when I found a razor blade stained with blood under the sink. The same day, Alexa lied and said that she had her period, and it was a bad one. And it all made sense.

She's been trying everything to stay out of the house, she even goes out with like 25 friends to distract herself. I don't think mom and dad even know what is going on.

And to be honest, I think that's the last thing that Alexa would ever tell them, that her lover relationship with Chance is hanging by a very very thin thread. And when I mean very very thin, I mean if a small gust takes over that thread, it will snap.

Alexa has been weird as well with her little sister, she apologized for the first time about my leg injury and she walked me to my classes and reminded me to take it easy on my foot. I see Jessica or Chance walk by, but it's like they got into a fight.

If I ask Alexa, Alexa would probably throw me down the stairs and make me actually break my leg.

Also, something that I noticed was that compared to the beginning of the new year, Alexa has gotten a lot thinner, like she is a twig. She always was skinny, but for her age and height, it's absolutely concerning. I noticed this not long ago and her legs were stick thin. She even knows and tries to hide it by covering up her whole body in many questionable layers, but yet still keeping it fashionable.

How do mom and dad not notice?

Maybe because Alexa yelled at them one evening when they barged into her room. I was in my room at the time, and I heard the whole conversation.

"Alexa..."

"Get out of my room!"

"Please, let us talks to you."

"What is there to talk about? You say it like it's concerning."

"We're actually worried about you. All of us, your family. You haven't been your usual self."

"Why are you even in my business anyways?"

"Because we're your parents! We are worried sick about you everyday! I know that our lives are hectic, but we worry sick about you both!"

"Why is Kat the one that gets everything? Did you think that calling me your stupid and hopeless kid would make me a better person?"

"We never said anything like that!"

"Then, why is Kat the one that's going to be in charge of dad's company when he retires?"

"Because you did not make the best of decisions as a child. And because of all this money, you became spoiled!"

"I'm not spoiled, she is!"

"Alexa Opal Richardsons, that's not a way to talk about your sister!"

"You will never understand anything! You know what, leave! Leave! Get out of my life! Why did you even have me if you're just going to give everything away to another kid?"

"Alexa, that's not what we meant-.."

SLAM!
