Alexandra Rose

Chapter 37

You guys are going to hate me but I promise you that I'm not that cruel, hehe.

Everett's POV

Alexandra and I were lying on the living room couch, our eyes on the TV and our legs tangled together with her head placed right above my chest as she fiddled with the neckline of my t-shirt.

My own hands were playing with the ends of her hair. To be honest, my mind wasn't even focused on the movie Alexandra insisted on watching, instead I was thinking about how fucking lucky I got with this girl.

Last night was the first time Alexandra saw the most vulnerable side of me— the first time I had enough courage to tell someone about Ethan.

Telling her felt as if it was the right thing to do. I'm fucking glad I did because my heart feels so much lighter now, knowing Alexandra knows and that I don't have to hide my own fucking pain anymore.

But it makes me wonder if she would be okay with the other messed up shit that has happened in my life and the fucked up stuffs I did. I know that she deserves to know, but I didn't have it in me to tell her that.

I don't know how she'd feel if she knew that the fucking guy she has feelings for, has been in juvie for almost killing someone.

The reason I feel like she would walk away, is that she's experienced that type of violence before. She's had someone hurt her almost the same way I hurt that bastard. But he deserved it. She didn't.

I fear that I'll lose the only person that brings light in my fucked up life. She brings colour in my life, quite literally.

When I entered my room earlier, there was a bright blue t-shirt placed on my bed and it looked so fucking odd with all the black decor that surrounded my room.

But it didn't make me feel like I should take away that brightness from my dull room like how I usually would when mom or Caden's cleaned laundry would accidentally end up in my room.

Not only that, but I fucking love how her sweet scent of vanilla and candy lingers around in my room and my sheets. I find myself wanting more of it because I can't fucking get enough of her.

Instead, I wanted more of her.

Tightly wrapping my arms around her and moving us to lay on our sides, I hugged her small body close to mine, discreetly taking in more of her scent.

The sound of her soft giggles reached my ears and I felt this warm feeling in my fucking heart that I knew people would make fun of if I ever described it to them.

"Honey! I'm home!" I groaned and pushed my face into Alexandra's neck when I heard the familiar annoying voice of Sebastian as he yelled, along with two sets of footsteps.

"Holy shit! We have a huge baby in the house!" Nolan exclaimed.

"One more word and I'm kicking you out of my fucking house." I mumbled from her neck, feeling her fingers comb through my hair and that alone calmed me down.

But still, the two idiots ignored my statement and continued to yell, "Get the fuck up because we're having the best sleepover of the year." Sebastian grinned, his behaviour making Alexandra wiggle out of my arms and jump excitedly with Seb.

This fucking idiot just stole my girl.

A scowl reached my lips as I got up into a sitting position, "Don't worry. I'll keep you company." Nolan teased, nudging me with his shoulder while sitting down on the empty space next to me where she should be.

But instead, she and Seb ran off into the kitchen.

Jerking away from him, I stood up and went to the kitchen, to find the two of them raiding my pantry where mom stores all the junk food and I knew she would kick my fucking ass once she sees how half of the cookies from the jar is missing.
