Growing Up | Evansson Twins

Chapter 17

"Lizzie, what's wrong? Did something happen to Alexa and Axel?" Scarlett asks panicking

"Scarlett, where the fuck are you?!" Lizzie asks angrily, gritting her teeth hissing at Scarlett

"I'm on my way back home. Are you guys home already? Is everything okay?" Scarlett replied

"We're at Chris's home. Alexa and Axel don't wanna go back to your house and if you don't come here right now, they'll completely out of your life and I know you don't want that" Lizzie informs her best friend

"What?! No, they can't do that. Oh, god. Please don't let them do that. I'm on my way, I swear I'll come" Scarlett said, taken aback at that. And Lizzie hung up on that.

Now, they just have to wait for Scarlett. Alexa and Axel really need to open up to their parents about everything that has happened and the parents really need to know about it. They can't ignore it anymore. Because clearly it didn't go any good to either of them.

Lizzie gets back into the house to be meeting with a concerned face on them. Everyone is there. They want to be emotional support for Evans, Scarlett and the twins.

"Scarlett will be here. I don't think we should wait. I have a feeling that this will not do good to either of you especially Alexa" Lizzie explains

Chris just sighs in exasperation. He truly didn't know what to do. But now, they just have to wait for Scarlett. They have to settle this thing tonight if it's possible but Alexa clearly needs closure and the parents too.

-30 minutes later-

Scarlett arrived 10 minutes after Anna, Brian, Noah and Kimmy arrived. Brian and Noah have tried to go through Alexa but they didn't get any answers either.

"Where's the kids?" Scarlett asks anxiously

"Alexa locked herself in her room. She won't even budge to open it. Axel been trying to get inside but failed miserably and now they both break down in their own room" Chris stated

"Scarlett, did you know you break her heart over and over again? You promised her Scarlett! And she holds onto that promise so much!" Chris added looking at Scarlett with his red puffy eyes.

"I got carried away with the meeting. Besides, Romain was alone, no one could watch Rose and I can't leave my daughter alone unsupervised. I know Alexa will understand it" Scarlett explained

"Then bring her along to the play Scarlett! Couldn't you do that?! That's her sister too!" Chris said getting frustrated

"I don't know, I thought Alexa will understand this. She knows that I can't choose between my children and besides, Rose is still little. She has all of you guys there for her. Why can't she be more understanding like Axel?" Scarlett said getting pissed too when Chris giving her tough love on it

Unfortunately, Axel was at the bottom of the stairs when he heard Scarlett comment, along with Alexa. He manages to get Alexa out of her room before she does something stupid. Axel were in rage when he heard that

"What the fuck did you just say? Are you stupid Scarlett to compare her with me? Are you really turning this on her right now? Is this your true self? Alexa and I are two different people. She has been through so much in her life just to fucking protect me from fucking everything when it supposed to be my job to protect her!" Axel states that the adults in the living room snapped their heads to the kids there. Scarlett look hurt and regret and what she just said

"Do you know why she has trust issues? You wanna know what happened 5 years ago?!" Axel asks angrily, stepping closer to them. Alexa just grabs his arm
