Leon's POV
"The man Alex came here to see Langston Jackson and his friend Spencer", Alexander said
"What do you mean"
"Er..umm...you didn't hear this from me a matter of fact I was never here", Alexander said and ran out the room.
Chris and Xander came out the bathroom. Why they're in the bathroom at the same time I don't know
"Alex up", Xander said
"Yeah but don't bother her"
I found some tape in her bag and put it over her mouth. Then wiped the tears that was rolling down her face. I sat down on the other side of the bed so the boys wouldn't see me. I ran my hand through my hair and down my face. 804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEWhIT6u11
So her father Langston did this to her made her the way she is. A stubborn, no manners having young lady. A girl who runs away from her problems instead confronting them. I ran my hands through my hair again and groaned in frustration.
"Hey dad what's wrong", Chris said and sat down on the floor next to me.
"It's Alex her life it's so confusing and then her family"
"I know but you forgot she wasn't born with a loving family after her mom died", Chris trailed off
"I know her brother and father wanted her dead"
"She didn't have a normal childhood she got her first job at the age 10 I think", Chris said
"See this is what I'm talking about parents tell their kids they can tell an adult anything but Alex keeps secrets to the point that they haunt her dreams and keep her awake at night"
"She doesn't like to talk to people about certain things I respect and understand that dad and you need to too", Chris said and stood up.
He patted me on the shoulder and sat with his brothers. I still don't get it why would her own father her own flesh and blood do this to her. Scar his own daughter to the point she doesn't even feel safe when she sleeps. Every time she goes to sleep she doesn't even think she's going to wake up in the same place. That's when I heard a muffled scream I can't take it anymore. I stood up and took the tape off Alex's mouth.
"Don't cut me again I've learned my lesson I won't do it anymore", Alex yelled
"Dad what are you doing", Trent said and walked over to Alex.
"I can't do it anymore I need to know what's bothering her"
"Dad you don't need to know you want to know", Trent said
"I'm not a liar I didn't kill my mum she was the only one who cared down for me. You drunk asshole", Alex yelled and Trent put his hand over her mouth when she was about to scream.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEgvuqR9GX
"There now you know her dad was a drunk asshole and that's all your going to know so dad go to bed don't worry about Alex she'll be fine", Trent said
"I think", Trent muttered and put the tape back on her mouth.
Trent walked over to his brothers and laid down on the floor next to Chris. I loosened my tie and threw it on the bed next to Alex's foot. I walked over and sat down next to Xander. Xander laid a pillow on my arm and went to sleep.
"Night dad", Trent said and went to sleep also.
"See you in the morning", Chris said and fell asleep on Trent's shoulder.
I sat there awake looking at some kids cartoon. I can't help but be paranoid I need to know what's wrong with her I want to help her. But I know Alex won't let anybody in I bet Sam doesn't know everything about Alex. She built her walls to high and it's like there indestructible like nobody in the world can knock it down not even superman. 804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS09PFBy5V6
I guess I'll have to wait like Alexander and Chris said. I fell asleep but it doesn't feel like I slept for that long. I heard someone screaming and woke up. Xander slid down and was sleep on my lap. I gently pushed his head out the way.
I stood up and stepped over Chris and Trent. They were all over the floor and Chris's foot was in front of Trent's face. I don't understand how they can sleep like that. I walked over to the bed to see Alex with her eyes wide open and she was panting and sweating. I took the tape off her mouth.
"Alex you okay"
"Yeah", Alex said and sat up.
It was like she was in a rush to get somewhere.
"Are you sure you're okay"
"Yeah just having a bad dream", Alex said and was starting to control her breathing.
"Alexander said you went into shock what did you see in your dream"
"Nothing", Alex said and got out the bed.
"Alex I don't think it was nothing it had to something since you fainted"
"It was nothing like I said just a bad dream nothing more and nothing less", Alex said and slammed the bathroom door.
What's wrong with her I was just trying to help her out. She's hiding something but she won't say it I know she's scared about something you don't just faint from a bad dream. I need to know I'm going to have to talk to her when she's in a vulnerable state and not mad at the world. I walked towards the bathroom door and jiggled the doorknob.
"Alex open this door", I said and knocked on the door.
"Leave me alone", Alex said and it sounded like she was panting.
"Alex open this door", I said banging on the door.
"Leave me alone", Alex said and I could hear her breathing.
She was panting and breathing rapidly I was banging on the door harder now.
"Open this door before I kick it down"
"Go ahead superman", Alex said
I took out my cufflinks and sat them on the table. I rolled up my sleeves and took off my dress shoes. I stepped forwards and kicked the door in. I walked into the bathroom to see Alex with no shirt on sitting on the floor. I could hear her breathing and panting. I looked at her back and had plenty of cuts on her upper back. I tapped her shoulder and didn't do anything I hope she isn't in shock again.
"Alex you okay"
"Don't cut me again Spencer", Alex said and I turned her around and her eyes were closed.
Tears were flowing down her face and she looked like she was about to faint I tried to pull her up but she wouldn't move. I tried to touch on of the cuts on her back and he flinched.
"Spencer isn't here I'm Leon"
"I don't want any more cuts", Alex said
"Alex get up"804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR5UE2jv1O
Then her eyes opened wide and she walked out the bathroom. I followed her and she grabbed her bag and put her shoes in her bag. She grabbed her phone and walked out the room. I had put my shoes on and ran after her.
