Alex's POV
As I was laying in the tree I looked down and saw Chris walking around the backyard. Then I saw Trent down there walking around as well. After they looked around they talked then started running around the backyard. I guess they didn't find what they were looking for. Chris and Trent ran back into the house and I laid back down. After an hour I think I heard someone yelling.
"Alex", Jamie yelled
Then the rest of the family came out and started looking for that thing too. Leon started talking to Jamie and then the family huddled up. They were talking about something but I don't know what they're talking about.
"Alex please don't tell me you left", Jamie yelled out and the rest started looking around again.
Out of nowhere, I started feeling pain a lot of pain in my back. I looked at where I was laying at and saw blood on the branch. Since I had 2 shirts on I took off my shirts. I looked at the back and saw blood all over my shirts. That was my favourite batman shirt now it's ruined. I decided to text her.859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJMR3x52y5
hey Jamie -Me
Alex where are you -Jamie

In a tree where - Jamie
in ur backyard -Me
I don't see you where -Jamie
Look up -Me
I leant over the edge of the branch. I didn't wave cause my back is bleeding and my left arm his bullet holes in it.
Come down -Jamie
I jumped out the tree and landed in the grass. I landed on my feet but my feet hurt every time I walked. I walked over to Jamie and she was still staring at the tree. I tapped her shoulder and he jumped. She turned around and hugged me. I pushed her away from me cause her arms wrapped around my back which hurts very bad.
I cannot believe she can't tell that I'm in pain. I think that I hide my pain a little too well. I should start showing pain a little so people can notice and help me out. Jamie just looked at me.
"What did I do and put some clothes on there are boys around", Jamie said
"My back remember I got shot in my back and my shirts are covered in blood"
"Sorry I forgot about that", Jamie said
"No, it's not your fault that this happened. I brought this upon myself I should have stopped fighting"
"Let's get you inside so you can sit down and we can explain things", Jamie said and I followed her into the house.
She told them that she found me and we all went inside. We walked down some stairs that was next to the fireplace and how come I never noticed that. I guess it's a second living room and I was right it was. I followed Jamie and sat down on the floor far away from everybody.
"Okay so Alex please explain to us what that was all about", Leon said
"First, ask everything in questions"
"Well then who was that older man that shot you", Jamie said
"I can't give out that information"
"What about the other one", Leon said
"Can't give out that information either"
"What did he mean by there not like regular kids mostly Alex", Leon asked
"Like he said I come from a different background I have plenty of things that haunt me from my past. I saw things that shouldn't be seen"
"Like what", Xander said
"That's personal"
"That boy how come up didn't let him finish his sentences", Chris said
"Those sentences brought back memories that shouldn't resurface"
"What are those memories about", Chris said
"That's personal"
"The thing about your mother is that true", Jamie said
"Yes it is everything that boy was saying was true"
"Well I'm sorry to hear about that", Jamie said
"Why don't you like the name Lexy", Tyler said
"Don't ever say that name again delete it out of your fucking vocabulary. Unless you want the same happening to you I guess you don't ever say that name again. I completely hate that bloody name don't ever say that word"
"Well okay but why", Tyler said
"That's personal"
"I saw that man whisper something in your ear. What did he say", Arnold said
"He told me to calm down"
"Was it true when that man say stop your going to kill him", Jamie said
"Yeah and can you help me with something"
"Okay what", Jamie said
"My back"
"Okay come on we will this talk after were done stay down here", Jamie said and I got up.
I followed her upstairs and we walked into the kitchen.
"Here take these it will numb the pain while I patch you up", Jamie said
"I'm good just give me some vodka and that will numb the pain"
"But you're under age", Jamie said
"I made you guys cocktails with alcohol"
"Fair point", Jamie said and handed me a bottle of vodka.
"Bottoms up", I said and took a couple of gulps.
"Here I go you think you can handle it", Jamie said
"Yeah but first pull out the bullet"
"But I was just going to clean up the blood", Jamie said
"If you pull out the bullet it will stop hurting"
"You're in pain", Jamie said
"Naw I'm on cloud nine"
"Okay but how do you hide your pain so well", Jamie said
"I taught myself every since my father-", I stopped talking and stood still.
Every time I try to say this sentence the memories just keep coming back. Mostly the memory of my mother.
"Alex are you okay you're turning pale", Jamie said
"Yeah just thinking of something"
"What are you thinking about? Wait how about after school I take you to the family doctor. Also, I'm going to take it out now", Jamie said and took out the bullet.
"Oh fuck me", I yelled out when she pulled the bullet out.
"Please don't say that while you're wearing shorts and a bra with boys downstairs", Jamie said
"Also no doctors"
"Why not", Jamie said
"It's personal and I have my reasons why"
"Why is everything personal with you. Why don't you at least tell us something from your past? Give us a story it doesn't have to have people's names or be real but at least show us that your human. What do you do in your mean time", Jamie said
"That boy said enough about my past for you all to hear about and fine when we go back downstairs I will"
"Well I'm done patching you up let's go", Jamie said
"I take the bottle with me"
"If it makes you feel better then yeah", Jamie said
I followed her back downstairs and sat in the same place I sat before. I guess here goes nothing.
"I'm here to tell you guys a story"
"Is it a sad story", Tyler asked
"Sort of"
"Is it a happy story", Arnold asked
"You can say that"
"Let her tell her story", Jamie said
"Well, there was this family..."
