Chapter Eight
ALEX
At last, I'm finally home. I have been hospitalized for two days because of the Devil. I ran upstairs to my room and lock my door. I really miss my room, the pink and purple dots dancing in my sky blue wall. Hey, I know it is pretty childish but it’s better that those white painted wall of the hospital.
I jumped on my bed and almost landed below to the cold floor, but good thing I grab the sheets and that sent me back to my bed, bouncing as I do so. The bouncing soon stopped and it made me bored. I looked up and there I saw the painting of stars, which my mom made for me as a gift for my 7th birthday. Then I remembered something, Oh yeah! I went in my closet and rummaged through my things.
At last I found it, It was my Summer-to-do-list book when I was nine. I look through the pages and laughed at it. I am going to re-do all of this again. I went out of my room and as if on cue the devil went out. I stuck my tongue at him and strode off downstairs, rode on my bike to the twins' house.
The door opened and there looking up at me was no other than Kent, their cousin, eating a giant lollipop.
"Alex!" he hugged my knees and I lowered myself down to his level and pinched his chubby cheeks. He’s gotten so fat and summer wasn’t even halfway finished.
"Are you looking for Keith and Kathy?" He asked while licking his lollipop
I nodded my head and he dragged me off inside and we headed to the twins’ room. Kent opened it to reveal Kathy lip-locking with a blonde guy and Keith which is laughing with the other guy. They notice us and they quickly broke away.
Good thing is that the kid was looking at me instead of his cousins.
I quickly thanked him before kicking him out as I locked the door. I brought my arms up and then slapped my book to the guy who was with Kathy.
"What the hell?" the blonde guy said. Kathy ran to my side and settled in between us with Keith.
"What's the meaning of this? Kathy, Keith?”
"Alex we can explain!" the two of them yelled and dragged me with them. I sat there in the middle of the bed while the four of them stood and looked at me. After a long moment of silence, Kathy spoke.
"Alex this is Nate, my boyfriend" I was about to speak but she cut me off " I met him two months ago when we had a field trip and Jacob was his cousin which is Keith’s friend, but not yet Boyfriend" Keith nodded furiously and the two boys pulled their cute faces at me.
"You and you" I pointed at their faces "promise me not to hurt my friends and if you do, I will chop of your junior, cut your balls and tie it around your heads, understand?" I saw them gulped and heard a faint ‘yes’ from the two of them.
The afternoon went by as we plan the things we will do this summer. The two boys were okay for me as long as they will treat my twin-zillas well. We planned on spending our whole week at the beach and so Kathy made arrangements for the beach house we were staying to. I went home to get ready but then the devil has other plans. He pulled my arm then dragged me inside the house.
"What do you want?!" I yelled at him, annoyed.
"Where'd you go?" He asked out of the blue. I didn't answer and just continue to glare at him."Where?" He said as I didn't answer him.
"It's none of your business." I snap back then went to my room, opened up my closet and put my things in my duffel bag.
I turn off the light and fell asleep.

CAIDEN
Where did she go?
I asked this question at myself for how many times after I got the call. I was too anxious because of that f*cking call I got this afternoon. Someone called me and he said that I should be aware unto what is happening around me that someone close to me will disappear if I wasn’t careful. I called my agent and tell him to investigate this number, if it was truly him or just some scumbag who wanted to mess with me.
I was too worried for her because there is a possibility that she might get harmed by that prick. She just got out from the hospital because of me and now she might be dead because of me, again...
Crappy crap!
I sat on the nearby swing on their garden and was shocked to see a figure riding on a bike.Oh yeah it's her! I pulled her inside the house, afraid that someone might see us.
"What do you want?!"
"Where'd you go?" I asked but then she just continue to glare at me and said nothing"Where?" I yelled at her, annoyed because she can't understand what is happening and I don't want to tell her.
"It's none of your business!" she yelled at me and ran to her room.
Oh geez! She really was giving me a headache. How could she act so cool when someone was threatening her life- oh yeah...she don't know anything, anything that has a connection to me.I went to my room, locked it and was shocked when my phone vibrated in my back pocket. I pulled it out to see a message from Nate.
--hey bro, wanna go and join us to the beach tomorrow? We will be staying there for the rest of the week-- I thought about the offer and replied
--' course I will be there, but where?--
--Coney Island beach and oh, we will be staying in your beach house--
-- Okay bro, Where would we meet and what time?--
--At the park, 10 am, hey be sure not to be late or we are going to left you out--
-- yes boss! lol--
-- haha, lmao! --
I throw my phone on the bed and went to the closet. I pulled out my bag put some clothes in it then strip off to have my night bath. After a whileI went out, change to my clothes but then before I go to sleep, I got a call from my agent that everything was fine..
That is good...at least I could have this week all for myself, but then a face popped unto my mind,
oh yeah, HER!
•••
I woke up and rolled unto my side but then fall off the bed, face-first. I went to take a bath then settled unto white shirt, brown cargo pants and my flops. I went out and was shocked to see her lying on her bed while Krista was coming out of her room carrying a breakfast tray.
"Is she sick?" I asked suddenly concern.
"Yes, sir, she got a really high fever"
"Oh, Alright then, tell her I'll be back here, Saturday afternoon"
"Yes, Mr. Cold foot, I mean Mr. Cole ford" she scurried off, giggling.
I'm not mad at her, honestly I found it funny. Maybe she was used on hearing it from Alex. Oh that girl, good thing she would be left here, because I'm sure as hell she will be giving me a killer headache when she will be with me today and for the rest of the week.
I went out of their front door and headed off to the park. I found Nate and Jacob sitting on the hood of their jeep. We three did our handshake and I was shocked to see the twins, the twins who wanted to kill me because I was the reason their best friend is in the hospital.
The girl with eye glasses shot me a glare and went to hold Jacob's hand while the other sat in Nathan's lap. I gawked at the sight. Nu-uh this couldn't be happening, I mean they are my friends, how can we go and have fun if these two medusas would look at me in the eye then turn me into a cold stone. What surprised me was this, the girl I am dreading to have with me for this entire week, was here! Alex is freaking here. She gaped at me but then she quickly recovered and walked off to her friends
"Hey men, d' ya know her?" Nathan asked behind me.
"N-no, why?"
"Just asking. It was, the way you look at her. It looks like the two of you are ready to pounce and kill each other, and I know that face of yours if you are lyi--"
" Bro, just drop it!" I said and walk off and sat on the hood of their jeep
"Ok guys, let's settle on our seats so we could have this trip now or never!" Jake said interrupting my moment of silence. The girl with eye glasses sat on the passenger sit beside him and it left us; me, Nathan, Alex and the other girl standing.
"No way, I won't stay outside, I won't, EVER! Please Nathan, how about this? You two should be there" The girl suggested, pointing at me and Alex.
"Noooo!" The two of us yelled at the same time
"Yeeeesss! " Nathan and her yelled back
"No!"
"Yes!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"STOP! Why don't we just use this sticks" The girl with eye glasses offered, holding up four barbeque sticks. We look at her ridiculous.
Ha! As if that stick would help us...
" Whoever got the two short one will stay outside, deal?" Jake suggested making us look at him.
"Deal!" the four of us answered and got our sticks.
