Why Me?

Chapter 12

Alex's POV

This kiss is so intimate. It's like the world froze, and there's no one left. Only us. I didn't ever want to stop kissing Tony, but I know he couldn't have just come to see me for no reason. Victor must've brought him here, and Tony's probably about to oblige.

*We hear a bang in another room and Tony pulls away from our kiss*

no~ not yet

"I would absolutely love to keep kissing you, but I still have to write down some notes that Victor asked from me." Tony says

"mhm" I say as I pull him in for one more kiss as he surely kisses me back and we stay this way for a couple seconds.

"Alexxxx"

"Alright alright" I chuckle

He's about to start up with those silly questions about last time again, I hate answering them. It's sort of like i'm reliving the injections and how I felt. I often change the subject, I don't like talking about this. I'd rather be talking about nothing and everything with Tony. Not about a stupid drug that made me feel horrible. If Tony wouldn't likely get lashed by Victor for not writing reports, I probably wouldn't have answered most of these questions. But Victor would, and I don't want Tony to get hurt again. Especially because of something I did. Again.

"Okay, there aren't many questions today"

A sudden rush of uneasiness fills me.

"I'm glad" I say with a half smile

"Are there any health concerns we should worry about at the moment?"

Yeah, my mental health!

I'm having a panic attack here, there's no way I can go through with that again.. I'm note sure if I'll be as lucky  as I was before.

"N-no, I feel fine." I stuttered

Actually I feel uneasy and queasy. All I'm thinking about is those stupid injections, Victor said FOUR of them!

I could hardly handle two!!

*After a couple of questions I was approaching my limit of  handling this stress and keeping it to myself*

"Lastly, after the injections, did your beahavior patterns change in any sort of way?" Tony asks

"What? I mean no, my behavior was the same as always"

*tony continues to write down notes*

Wait!

didn't victor say the injections are tomorrow?! I'm not ready for that, I'll never be ready for them again! Okay I can't even think straight right now, Tony looks enough on edge as it is.

"Wait Tony, uh...when are the injections?"

*he stops writing for a second, and starts up again but this time he's puts a lot of pressure on the pencil until the led breaks and he looks up at me*

"They're the day after tomorrow, and Cal will be inspecting some of them" He answers

The day after tomorrow. That's so close.

"O-oh, how many is there again?" I ask

I need closure, maybe I didn't hear right the first time. Maybe Victor didn't even say 4, I was probably hallucinating. Yeah. Yeah that seems reasonable.
