"Okay", I said and threw the rag on the floor.
"Ashy no", Mom yelled
I walked towards the door and picked my keys up from the ground. I slammed the door and got into my car. I started up the car and mom and Kayla came running outside.
"Ashy don't go", Mom yelled
"Bro where you going", Kayla yelled
I ignored them and drove off. Once I was out of the neighborhood I realized something I have no clothes or anywhere to go. I can go to Alex's place and maybe she'll have some clothes for me. Off to Alex's place. I sped up and drove straight to Alex's place. I parked my car and got out. I locked the car doors and walked up into the building. I got onto the elevator and pushed the 5th-floor button. I took out my phone and decided to text Alex I'm here.
Hey, Alex, I'm coming over -Me
alright -💕Love💕
I had put my phone in my pocket and knocked on Alex's door. Alex opened the door after 4 minutes. She came to the door in a sports bra and tight short shorts. I was just staring at her stomach and then her tattoo with the dreamcatcher looks sexy.
"Hey you going to come in or just stand there", Alex said crossing her arms covering her stomach.
"Oh sorry", I said and followed her in.
She locked the door behind me and she ran back upstairs. I laid down on the couch and took off my shoes. I turned on the t.v and turned it to Spongebob. I heard footsteps and turned around. Alex came down the steps wearing a white crop top, blue faded jeans, white jordans, leather jacket and straps with guns.
"Where are you going"
"To work, I should be back around...", Alex trailed off looking at her watch.
Please don't come home in a body bag or on the news.
"...8 or 9 but I might be working late", Alex said
"Okay"
"You can order food I got some money in my drawer and if Mason comes by tell him I'm out", Alex said
"Alright bye Alex"
"I'll see you later if you up", Alex said and left.
I can't believe she doesn't care if I stay the night. Then my phone rang and it's mom. I answered it.
"Ashy where are you were looking everywhere for you", Mom said
"Alex's place"
"Come home now please", Mom said
"I'm good I'm not wanted there"
"Son please come home", Mom said
"I can't stand Gil or Cam why did you even marry him"
"That's your step-father don't talk about him like that", Mom said
"I don't care he isn't my father by blood just by marriage"
"Come home Kayla won't stop crying", Mom said
"Put her on the phone", I said and her shuffling on the phone.
I heard sniffing. Kayla.
"Brother are you okay", Kayla said
"Yeah laying on Alex's couch"
"You have a very nice and funny girlfriend I like her", Kayla said changing the subject.
"I do too"
"Where is she", Kayla said
"She went to work"
"Is she a stripper", Kayla said
"Hell no"
"Then why would she be out at work now", Kayla said
"I don't know probably has to handle some business"
"What do you mean by business", Kayla said
"Go to her job and handle business"
"Which is", Kayla said
"Can't say"
Then out of nowhere Champ came running over to me with a bowl in his mouth. I sat up and rubbed his head.
"Can you come home", Kayla said
Champ jumped up on the couch and started poking me with the bowl.
"Get away", I said to Champ.
"Me", Kayla said
"No", I said to Kayla.
Champ kept poking me with the bowl and I took it and threw it across the room.
"Leave me alone", I said to Champ.
"That's how you feel", Kayla said
"Oh no I'm sorry I'm talking to Champ Alex's dog"
"That sounds like a sweet name I bet he's a sweetheart", Kayla said
"I wish"
Champ came running back to me dropping the bowl at my feet. He started growling and barking at me.
"Champ quiet"
He got even louder. I guess I have to give him some food. I got up and Champ was following me to the kitchen.
"Brother come home", Kayla said
"No I'm staying here Alex doesn't mind", I said and took some lunch meat out and threw it in Champ's bowl.
I guess I'll look around if I'm going to be staying here.
"Come home please", Kayla said
I started going up the steps into Alex's bedroom and looked around it looked like an 8-year-olds room. It had pictures of Alex and her mom, car posters and then random posters to the point you can barely see her walls. I walked up the steps and it's a bar lounge nice too. It has a bar in the far corner taking up the whole wall and then 5 flat screens on the wall surrounded by a long couch and bean bag chairs.
Alex has style it looks like a real bar in here but it's a game room at the same time. I walked behind the bar and there was this door it had a passkey lock on it.
"Ash you coming home", Kayla said
I forgot she was still there.
"No, I'm not so stop asking"
Passkey, Passkey. How about 1-9-8-9 and it opened. I pushed the door open and it was a mini gym cool. There is a closet in the back so I ran over to it. I tried to open it but the handles won't open. Then I saw this button on the side and clicked it. The closet had weapons everywhere and bombs and knives and more. Then there was another button and I clicked it. The doors had like a secret part and the doors opened another self full of weapons.
"Damn"
"Ashton Richard Stewart did you just curse at me", I heard my mom yell into the phone.
"Oh sorry mom I'm so sorry"
"You better be so when are you coming home", Mom said
"Will you please shut up about coming home I'm staying with Alex tonight"
Then I heard the door burst open followed by shouting. I clicked another button and the closet closed and locked. I ran out the room and closed the door behind me. The shouting got louder and I heard a door slam.
"Ash what's going on over there", Mom said
"I don't know I'm finna find out"
I walked down the steps and Alex, Logan, Mason, Mr. Frost, Mr. Hart and Sam were all yelling at each other. I looked at Alex and she was covered in blood her shirt, jeans and shoes are red. Her jacket had blood stains and rips on it. I walked down the steps and the yelling stopped and everybody was staring at me.
"Hey how's it going"
"Sup", Logan said
"Why is he here", Mason said
"Staying the night I guess", Alex said
"He better be sleeping down here and stay away from your bed", Mason said
"Okay oh so protective brother", Alex said
I walked over towards Alex and she had no cuts on her face but she was smiling. I wonder what she was out doing.
"Alexander help me get the drinks", Mr. Hart said
"Alright", Mr. Frost said
"Let me shower first, " Alex said and ran past me upstairs.
"What's going on is there going to be like a party"
"Yeah", Logan said
"What we celebrating"
"Alex learned how to fly a plane", Mr. Frost said bringing in cases of beer, vodka, tequila and other drinks.
Then Mr. Hart came in with boxes of pizza, wings, chips & dip and potatoes chips. This must a good thing for Alex she was smiling when they came in. The music started playing out of nowhere and it was loud too. Mr. Hart closed the door and they were carrying everything upstairs.
"You going to help", Sam yelled over the music.
I picked up the last case of beer and carried it upstairs where the music got louder. I followed Sam into the bar lounge and put the beer up on the bar counter.
Logan turned on the flat screens and turned on the Xbox. They started up a game and I didn't know Alex had over 10 games and controllers to her game. They were starting up the game and Alex came walking in with a floral tank top and some jean short shorts. Alex came in smiling and put her arm around my shoulders.
"I'm so fucking happy", Alex said
"What are we celebrating"
"I learned how to fly a plane and got offered half a million to burn down the police station on Burgandy Avenue and raid a drug warehouse", Alex said
She's so happy to get half a million but she has to burn down 2 buildings. Something is wrong with her.
"Aye hand me a bottle", Alex said walking away from me.
This the happiest I've seen Alex. There playing music, drinking, eating and playing games right now.
"You going to join us", Alex yelled
I looked over towards her and sat down next to her. They had no plates or anything I guess they pick it up by hand. I picked up a slice and watched them play a shooting game. Them Sam handed me a remote.
"You want to play", Sam yelled over the music.
I took the remote from him and started playing but Alex it winning by 54 kills.
"All my diamonds shine 'cause they really diamonds
Bad bitches in line, they be really trying
They ask me if I'm high
I say really really
Got money on my mind
I say really really
I look like I been balling 'cause I'm really balling", Alex said singing along to the music.
( 3 hours later )
Alex won the game with 186 kills and isn't drunk. I was last place with only 4 kills. Logan invited some friends from school over here and now we're having a full party with music and people dancing everywhere but Alex's floor is blocked off because Harry covered that part of the room. I only had 1 beer and Alex had 4 bottles of vodka and ate 2 boxes of pizza but isn't drunk yet.
"Hey let's play Dare or Big Dare", Logan said with a bunch of people crowding him.
"Sure you want to play Stew", Alex said
"Sure why not", I said turned to face them so that we're all in a circle.
"I'll go first", Sam said
"Ashton dare or big dare", Sam said
"I guess truth"
I'm going to start off easy.
"Is it true you think about Alex", Sam said
"Yeah"
"Alex dare or big dare", Logan said
"Big Dare", Alex said
"I dare you to sit in Ashton's lap the whole game", Logan said and Alex stood up.
She sat down right in my lap and laid back onto my chest. She really isn't that heavy for much force she can put into a punch.
"Sam dare or big dare", Logan said
"Dare", Sam said
"I dare you to kiss her", Logan said pointing at a random girl.
Sam stood up and walked towards her.
"Alex dare or big dare", Logan said
Didn't Alex just go?
"Big Dare", Alex said
"I dare you to...", Logan trailed off.
"Hurry come on I'm getting grey hairs", Alex said and I chuckled.
"Okay since you 2 are lovebirds then kiss I dare ya", Logan said
"You better not Alex", Mason said out of nowhere.
"I can do whatever I want", Alex said
"I'll give you 250 if you don't", Mason said
"Money", Alex said and Mason gave her his wallet.
Alex put his wallet in her pocket and turned around to face me. She pecked my lips and then turned back around.
"I'm going to bed", Alex said and stood up.
Her butt was all up in my face when she stood up. She walked away and went downstairs.
"Party over I'm going to bed", Alex yelled
"Alright", Mr. Hart yelled out of nowhere.
The music got louder and I could feel the bass under my butt. The people Logan invited started leaving. I stood up and saw Mr. Frost handing people a trash bag.
"Help clean", Mr. Frost said and handed me a bag.
I started picking up beer bottles and cans. Sam was picking up pizza boxes, Logan was sweeping the floor, Mr. Frost was picking up everything else, Mr. Hart was cleaning the place up and Mason was mopping the floor behind Logan.
After I picked up all the bottles and cans I tied up the bag and threw it outside by her door like everybody else did. We all walked back inside and the place was spotless.
"I call the couch", Sam said and jumped onto the couch.
"You sharing", Logan said and jumped o the couch on top of Sam.
"We got the lounge", Mr. Frost said and him, Mason and Mr. Hart walked upstairs.
I guess I'll sleep in the lounge too. I followed them and Alex was laying in her bed staring a picture frame.
"Sleepy yet"
"Nah can't sleep", Alex said and sat the frame down on her nightstand.
I walked over to her and down on the bed next to her.
"Why"
"Every time I sleep I got these nightmares that play on repeat", Alex said rubbing her hands down her face.
Then I really got a good look at her face. She really is tired but can't sleep I guess those nightmares keep her up.
"I got an idea", Alex said
"For what"
"Can you sleep in here but if you see me squirming then wake me", Alex said
"Fo what"
"When I start squirming that means my nightmare is starting so when you feel me squirming then wake me", Alex said
That's actually a great idea. Also, that means I'll have a place to sleep. I checked the time on my phone and it's 4:32 damn. That party did last long.
"Sure alright", I said and took off my shoes and shirt.
I crawled over to the right side of the bed and got up under the covers. Alex slid over towards me and laid down on my chest and wrapped her arm around me.
"Night Alex"
But she didn't respond. I looked down and she was fast asleep. I guess she was really tired. I closed my eyes and fall asleep wondering what mom is doing.
