Chapter 59: Chapter 59
Alex was drunk to an extent that he doesn't know who he is talking to and what he is doing. With great difficulty, I managed to get him to the bed in my house. All the way,he kept on blabbering about how much he loves me and misses me. I gave him a disappointed look, wishing he could remember who I was right now. There was so many things I wanted to tell him, for him to know. And I can't have any of that talk with him still wasted like this.
I saw something flash in his eyes as he kept staring at me for a few seconds, but then snapped his head away, muttering something along the lines, "don't look at me like that." I shrugged it off.
"Alex?" I said while bringing my fingers to help him finish unbuttoning his shirt.
Why did I bring him to my room? I should've called David or Joey . " she wanted to say a lot but I never let her." I stopped to look at him, he already staring right back at me as I removed his shirt.
He leaned close to me as his eyes kept looking at my lips.
"Kiss me--then leave." It caught me with surprise and I held my breath for a second
"What-" I gasped when his lips cut mine off by surprise, my body stumbling on him .
"I can't do this. You're still-" I got cut off when his lips found mine again. I kissed him back passionately, My eyes flicked open when our lips parted suddenly and it widened when Alex passed out on the bed. I stared at how perfect he was, his hair, his face, and his toned body. He was so perfect.
With a sigh, I climbed off his torso and helped him settle in bed before leaving the room. I groaned while thinking about today's event.
"Tomorrow night,I have to go back to him. Everything I have to say to Alex before I leave was going to be my own words. But Terry told me to make sure those words would allow him to let me go." I bit my bottom lip harshly, pondering over what I have to tell. I had to make him leave, Maybe it was better to lie. But then again, Alex could easily see through my lies.
I'll decide what I am going to do tomorrow.
"Morning." I greeted as Alex stumbled through the kitchen, still shirtless.
I ripped my gaze from him and quickly grabbed the milk carton from the fridge, ready to turn and leave when Alex also turned from the sink.
"What's gotten into you?" he asked and I was disappointed that he doesn't remember what happened last night. The kiss, everything we talked about.
"Do you want to do something today?" I asked him as I have to go to Terry tonight. His eyes narrowed slightly before releasing the grip and turning away, causing my stomach to harden.
"I'm busy." He wasn't into me anymore. He didn't want anything to do with me. The only reason he is staying here is my parents are away and I am alone.
"Just spend the day with me today. For one day, is all I ask." when I looked up, he was already looking away.
"If you're bored, I'll call Danny to come over and babysit you." I swallowed another lump in my throat. I can't give up yet. Today was the only day I could see him.
"I am not bored. I just want to spend the day with you, that's it." I blurted out and saw his eyes widen slightly.
"Like I said, I have things to do--"
"If you are leaving then I'm going to roam around the city all day." I folded my hands across my chest and stared right into his cold blue, emotionless eyes.
"Do as you please, Rina."
I chuckled to myself, glancing back at Alex as we walked along the pavement, side by side. He is grumpy.
"Should we stop by here? I'll buy you a nice shirt."
"No thanks. I've got plenty." I notice a bunch of people now staring at us, whispering and giggling in a cheerful manner.
"I'm going in." I walked into the mall and heard Alex hiss a little before following me inside.
After we finished the mall shopping, I took Alex to eat ice cream and watched him make faces at how disgusting the cotton candy flavor was.
He really disagree that I brought him out here like this. But I have to do this. Even if it's for one-day. I have to spend a day with him before I leave.
"Do you want to go see a movie?" I turned and caught him off by surprise.
He eyes slightly narrowed down at me before he slipped his hands inside his pockets, letting out a deep sigh.
"No. Now it's your turn to follow me and go to places I really like to hang out." he said in rude tone and I flinched when he grabbed my hand, dragging me away.
"Alex, I don't like it here." I grabbed his hoodie as we moved past the drunk and wasted people, most of them were vampires, while the rest I am assuming are humans.
"And why not?" he spoke loudly enough for me to hear past the wild music.
Why a wild party in the evening? That too, in a random vampire's mansion.
"Alex, I-" I froze when I noticed a bunch of girls sitting down with us on the sofa, one of them making their way around to sit next to Alex. I squeezed my hands together on my lap and watched them flirt with Alex, while he just sat there in silence, sipping on his drink.
He didn't say anything so I took that as my leave and quickly pushed through the people and towards the table of drinks.
"Sorry." I apologized as soon as I bumped into someone and gasped when the guy grabbed my hand roughly, turning me around to face him.
"Sorry? You should have looked where you were going bitch." a Vampire who was obviously wasted and I winced when the grip he had around my wrist tightened.
"I apologized. What else do you want me to say?"
"You really have the nerve to talk back, huh," his bloodshot brown eyes glared down at me and I cried out a little when he poked my forehead sharply.
"Why? Annoyed much? That's why you should look where you're going, you little brat." he kept poking my head, digging his nails into my skin sharply as he did.
"Stop that."
I heard him hiss before bolting up to me, grabbing my shoulders roughly and pushing me down on the floor. My knees hit the floor hard and cried out in pain before attempting to get up.
"Are you fucking insane?!" Alex yelled at that guy. The next thing I knew, I was standing in front of Alex, putting my hands on his chest.
"Alex, I'm fine. I'm really fine." I tried to push him off but he simply pushed right past me, causing my heart to drop. In a matter of seconds, I wrapped my arms around him from the back, along with his arms.
"Please stop!" I cried out and felt his body tense up under my touch, making me slightly relieved.
"Let go."
"No, I'm fine. I just want to go home, Alex. Please." I begged and Alex finally ripped my hands away from his body before turning around and grabbing my hand. He practically dragged me outside .
By the time we reached home, it was 7 pm and I couldn't help but wonder what's going on in his mind. He followed me into my room and I watched him rummage through my drawers and cupboards before he finally found the first aid kit. He grabbed it in a hurry that medicines and bandaids fell out.
"Fuck!" he hissed, bending down to grab everything.
"Relax."
"It's your fault. Who asked you to go out there and get hurt?!"
"I didn't ask to get hurt. Plus, I'm fine, Alex."
"You call that fine? Sit. And don't move." I didn't bother to fight back. Instead, I watched him pick up all the medicines quickly before walking over to clean my scrapes.
"Why did you get mad?"
"I drank a bit."
"So why are you helping me when you're still drunk?"
"Just because." he finished cleaning up and got up.
"I'll get you something to eat. Don't go out, it'll take less than a minute." he disappeared as I sat back down on the table and covered my face, Terry's command now itching inside my brain. Alex came in after a few seconds and unpacked a bunch of food .
"Thank you."
"Just eat."
I quickly took a seat and started to eat. After I was done, he helped to clean up and then suggested I get some rest.
"Alex, When my parents come back, do you plan to-"
"I'll be going back."
"Oh." I smiled a little and nodded before making my way upstairs with him. We went back into our room. Terry's words rang through my mind worse than a doorbell and I bit my bottom lip angrily. Maybe, maybe this was for the better. If I go to him, I might find a way to convince him to stop haunting Alex.
Either way, I can't stay here and burden Alex anymore. He clearly doesn't want me around. He has been making that clear to me for the past few weeks.
I finally got up from the bed and made my way to my parents room where Alex was sleeping. I knocked and went in.
"What happened?"
"I just wanted to talk to you about something." His shirtless body along with his black short that came up to his knees made my hormones go wild yet again.
My eyes suddenly landed on a glass of wine with the bottle . I looked at Alex disappointingly.
"Have you really been drinking?"
"That's none of your business."
"Right..."
"None of it does."
"That's not-"
"I came to talk about something."
Maybe this is how I really wanted to say our goodbyes.
"Talk."
"About us," He flinched at my words.
"I wanted to say thank you. For everything you've done for me. For all the sacrifices you made, for tolerating me when I drove you insane, for making me strong throughout everything. You managed to bring out the worst and the best in me. For that, I am always be grateful. You've made me feel things I never felt before. So thank you, thank you for taking care of me, for loving me for what little I had to offer," I kept ranting and watched his face turn into an unreadable expression.
"You really meant something to me and I would never forget that. I know that telling you all this will mean nothing to you right now but I plan to leave tomorrow and live with my parents in Canada so I just had to let you know." I licked my lips when I finished and watched his jawline clench a little .
"Ah, you always do this," he rubbed the side of his temple slowly. "Leaving when you want to, coming back when it pleases you and then leaving again when it seems fit. You're really selfish," his face twisted up in hurt and anger and I bit my bottom lip slightly.
"I know. And I am truly sorry for that-"
"Shut up. Shut the fuck up." his harsh words made my eyes widen . I watched his hand roam around his dark hair roughly before he turned a little.
"You really couldn't give a fuck about what happened to us, couldn't you? You just don't fucking care, don't you? I find it hard to believe that you'd be this heartless when it comes to me. Not anyone else, just me. You don't give a damn about how I feel, how I felt or how I'd feel when you say this shit outta the blue like you've been planning to leave again from the start."
"I-" I bit the inside of my cheeks to stop myself from spilling anything.
"You- were you really planning to leave again?"
"Right. Of course you were. Let me guess, that's why you asked me to go out today? That whole bullshit about wanting to spend the day with me?"
"Alex, it's not like that-"
"Then tell me what it's like?! You're not even fucking denying it Katy, the fuck do you mean it's not like that?"
