Zaria's/Alexandria's P.O.V
Date: December 26
I turned over to have my hand hit a soft cushioned wall. Chris and Amy's guest bedroom bed doesn't sit up against a wall and if it did I don't think those walls are as soft as this one. Speaking of soft this fucking pillow isn't the one I usally use.
I open my eyes but all the sleep that collected there made it really difficult. I rubbed the sleep away and finally opened my eyes to see that I wasn't the the guest bedroom I was in the living room. When I looked at the person that my head was laying on I found Amy. What happened and why am I laying on Amy's lap? I heard rustling and snapped my head to where it was coming from.
Andy and Juliet were curled up on the love seat. Juliet had her head resting on Andy's chest and Andy's head was resting on the back rest to the love seat. He's gonna feel that in his neck when he wakes up. My eyes travled even more, I found Chris sleeping on the recliner snoring away. Why is everyone sleeping in the living room?
I carefully lifted my head off of Amy's lap and swung my legs over the edge of the couch. The last thing I remember before I fell asleep was crying on the guest bed curled up in a ball, or the best ball I could manage. Maybe I moved in here and just don't remember. That doesn't explain everyone else though.
Slowly I tried standing up but that's when I felt the soreness in my right arm and both thighs. I put my hand quickly over my mouth to muffle a yelp. What the fuck! Why is my arm and legs bandaged? And why are the bandages red? Realization hit me like a hurricane. No, I couldn't have. I don't even remember it.
Even though the soreness protested I got up anyway and made my way quickly yet quietly to the bathroom. I put the toilet seat down and sat on it. Finding the ends to the gauze wrapped around my left leg, I started to undo it.
I was half way through till a knock made me jump. I ignored it and went back to unraveling my leg. The person on the other side knocked louder but I kept on going. Almost got it.
The door creaked open and Amy stuck her head in but it was Andy who pushed the door opened all the way and came in the room. I was almost done, why did they have to come in.
"Alex," Andy exclaimed. "What are you doing?" He rushed over and kneeled at my side trying to keep me from getting the rest of the gauze off my leg.
"I need to see why my legs and arm are bandaged up," I mumbled as I knocked his hands away. "I can't remember anything and I need to know what I did to myself and how bad it is."
Amy walked to my other side and held my face in both of her hands. "Baby you don't want to see it."
I didn't care what she said I still had to. I pulled my face away from her hands finished unwrapping my leg.
With the gauze gone I could see everything. My thigh were a cut up mess, some parts of my thighs didn't even have skin with how many cuts there were bundled together. I couldn't have done this, I just couldn't have. I made a promise and I don't break promises. This must be some sick joke.
Tears stung my eyes as I gasped. "I couldn't have done this to myself. I would have remembered." I gentaly touched my leg but Amy quickly grabbed my hand and moved it away.
I looked at Amy but her eyes looked sad and didn't say what I wanted to hear. I turned toward Andy hoping that he'd reveal that this was all some sick twisted joke but when I looked at him I saw that there was blood plastered on his pajamas.
I gasped. The tears that stung my eyes finally fell.
Andy reached up to turn my eyes from the blood. When my eyes met his I was not expecting what I saw. I expected sadness or maybe even anger but all I saw was happiness and that he was releaved.
"What was the last thing you do remember," Andy said softly.
I gulped and wiped the tears away. "I..I remember being curled up on the guest bed crying then I assumed I went to sleep but everything points to a different story. I must have blacked out or did this in my sleep some how or..or I don't even know." I took a deep breath. "Did I really do this? I couldn't have, I made him a promise that I wouldn't. I-I," I took another gulp. "I promised."
Amy got up from my side and even though she's not the mother I grew up with, I felt like I needed her, I needed her to comfort me like a mother should. She got up and went to the bathroom sink and opened the mirror/cabnet and got out freah new gauze.
"Alex." Andy drew my attention back to him as Amy took her place next to me while starting to rewrap my thigh. "Who did you promise? And why were you crying? What made you so upset?"
My eyes went wide. I shouldn't have said that. They'll probably think I'm weird or crazy, hell I think I'm crazy honestly. I quickly shook my head trying to make him forget about it. Maybe I should have just said Kyle or Jack but what's done is done.
"Was it Andy?"
My breath hitched and my eyes got even bigger than before. No, no, no, how could he know about that? He couldn't, I've never talked about it, plus I stopped seeing him shortly before I moved in with dad, I haven't really put much thought on him since he left.
"Who is he," Andy pleaded but I just shook my head and held back even more tears.
I couldn't talk about Andy without memories of him. Each time my mom would do something stupid he'd show up and make me forget it, he'd make me happy. He was my best friend all the way up till he told me that I didn't need him anymore and left. That was around the type I made more friends and was able to hang out with them instead of being at home. Kyle, Kevin, and I were always friends, since birth, but when I made more friends I guess Andy didn't think I needed him so he left me all alone. Actually he left me when Kay showed me a YouTube video, I can't quite remember the video but when Kay typed it in Andy was standing right behind me and he gasped and looked terrified at the video she looked up. I didn't know why the video scared him so much but that night when I finally got home mom beat me so bad and later that night, when someone called the cops because of all the screaming and crys, I went to the hospitle and Andy told me that he had to go and that I didn't need him. I begged him not to leave but he just said that I'd see him again soon that I won't be alone for long and he left, just vanished into thin air. I feel like that damn video is right on the edge of my memory but it won't come to me. It was a song but by who and what song is it. Why can't I remember? I've never been so pissed off about something that won't come to memory.
"I'm guessing your not going to tell us who he is," Andy asked drawing me out of my thoughts. I shook my head again. "Can you at least tell us why?" I shook my head once more. "Then tell us what made you so upset."
I shook my head for the last time on this subject. I just couldn't tell them, they would get mad and hate me. Can't take that chance.
Andy gave a deep sigh and I felt terrible about it espacailly since it's his birthday. Oh my gosh it's Andy's birthday and I did this to myself? I'm such a awful sister. Now all he's going to do on his special day is worry about me when he should be worrying what he's going to do. I gave a deep sigh this time.
I noticed Amy was done rewrapping my thigh so I stood up and tried to leave the bathroom. There was an Andy in my way though. I didn't want to be rude and push past him or tell him to move but I needed to get through. I needed to get out of this small ass bathroom. It felt like the walls were closing in and I was starting to panic
Before I could do anything though his arms wrapped around me, hug me, so close yet so lightly I felt like a girls favorite porclin doll. I returned the hug while burying my face in his chest trying to hold back more tears. More arms wrapped around Andy and I by our side. I turned my head slighty to see Amy and she seemed like a proud happy mother, which was something that shocked me to the bone.
"How was I ever gifted with to amazing and beautiful kids," she beamed while tears rimmed her eyes.
I turned to where I was hugging Amy instead and she seemed shocked by my gesture. "T-Thanks m-m-m..."
"You don't have to say it if you're not ready sweety," Amy coaxed as her hand ran through my hair then kissed my forehead.
I shook my head and continued. "Even though I've only know you for almost a month you are more of a mother to me then my real one ever was." I choked up a little. "So thank you mom. Thank you.." The tears that I tried so much to hold back were streaming down my face. "Thank you so much mommy." I buried my face in her shoulder since we were the same height but it still felt so good to have a actual mother who cared for you and stuck around and comforts you when you break instead of one that would slap you and tell you to get over it.
*** After spending time in the bathroom crying my eyes out and actually accepting Amy as a mom, we moved to the living room and sat around doing nothing. I mean just nothing. Which I found odd since it was Andy's birthday.
Maybe they think I don't want to do anything since, you know. Or they just didn't plan anything. Who knows?
"Sooooo." It was the first word said since we moved to the living room and everyone starred at me with relief plastered on their face. I was the one who broke the silence. "What are you planning on doing for your birthday? 'Cause you shouldn't spend it sitting around in silence like you are."
Andy let out a low chuckle and shook his head. "Never really done much for my birthday considering it falls right after Christmas." His eyes got a glazed look which I assumed was him going through all the memories he had of his birthday.
"Well that's not right. I've even done stuff on my birthday, granted it was either with my dad or friends but we won't get on that subject." I searched my mind for things we could do one day after Christmas but nothing really sounded good.
The room returned to it's silence but my mind stayed on the to do list for birthdays after Christmas. There wasn't much to think of considering I really didn't know about the town they lived in but there had to be something to do and somewhere to do it.
I was just about to offer for them to show me around the town I might have grown up in when Juliet's popped up with her face lit up like the Christmas tree in the corner. "We could go watch The Hobit. I haven't seen it yet and I heard it's really good."
I looked at her like she had to heads. "How can you not see one of the greatest movies of all times? I've seen it and I don't have people willing to give me the money to do so."
"Then how did you see it?" I turned to Amy who had a confused look on her face.
I felt my face start to heat up. I should have kept my big mouth shut. "I..uh..kinda stole $20 out of Kimberly's purse while we were in P.E." I said it so quickly and so quietly that I was pretty sure she didn't. I couldn't have been more wrong.
"You stole money out of a fellow woman's purse?" She shrieked to the high heavens and I cringed from how high her voice went. I guessed she thought my cring was from something else because she softened. "I'm sorry."
I waved her sorry away and straighten up. "I stole it because Jack asked me if I wanted to go with him and I told him I would see and since I knew I didn't have the money for it and the evil bi...witch always keeps $100 in her purse I thought I would help myself." I still saw the disapproval in her eyes so I added, "Just think of it as payment for her bullying me ever since we were little." I paused. "Actually if you think of it like that then I guess I should have took the whole 100."
Amy sat there shaking her head in disapproval and I felt I forgein feeling tugging on my heart and I became really sad for I few moments.
Andy stood up after his chuckles from the conversation Amy and I just had died down. He started to walk towards the stairs and called back behind him, "I don't know about you guys but I'm going to go get ready." With that he disappeared.
After some serious thought on how I would be able to get a shower I just decided that I'd take a bath and followed him up the steps.
*** Fresh out of the bath and feeling better than I had since I came to Chris and Amy's house. Before I actually took the bath Amy had to help me take the cast off my leg and ribs and help wrap my arm up so no water got in that cast. I'm just glad she didn't see the things I've kept hidden from everyone including Kyle.
I walked over to the suitcases that held my clothes and fished for an outfit to wear but it was either leggings or shorts, thanks to the stupid leg cast, and it was to cold to wear shorts. Eventualy I pulled on plain black leggings, a yellow tank-top with a BatMan cutoff over it, and one black tom. I put on some eyeliner, brushed out my hair, and was ready to go. I didn't bother straightening my hair because it was naturally straight anyway.
By the time I got downstairs the only person left getting ready was Juliet. Guess she either takes her sweet ass time getting ready or the hugh baby bump is slowing her down.
When I looked at Andy I saw that he had on his black skinny jeans and a fucking BatMan shirt on. As if he sensed that I was glarring at him he turned toward me.
I arched up my eyebrows and said, "One of us is gonna have to change, you do know this right?"
Andy got a cocky look on his face. "I'm the birthday boy so it shouldn't be me." He stuck out his tounge
"And I'm injuried and you guys don't want me walking up and down all those steps." I reversed their logic on me taking on the steps by myself and stuck my tounge out like Andy. "Plus I make it look cuter and I'm the real BatMan."
"Hasn't stopped you before and since when is BatMan a girl?"
I walked over to the love seat and planted my butt there showing I wasn't getting up. "Since when was BatMan a boy?" Andy opened his mouth to reply but I quickly cut him off. "I know that your going to say because he doesn't have boobs but you can get the suckers cut off, ok. And plus there is no proof that he's male anyway I mean I've never seen him without pants, how about you? Wait, don't answer that."
Andy sat there dumbfounded for a minutes but quickly recovered. "You do make a very good counter argument but BatMan is a guy...and I have not seen him pants less, I'm not that obbessed about him."
"Yes you are," Juliet called out finally arriving in the living room. "Sorry I took so long but thing are really difficult."
"It's ok," Chris said walking from the kitchen with a can of soda in hand.
I hoped out of my seat. "Ok let's get going the movie's not going to watch its self."
Everyone chuckled and shook their heads but followed me anyway.
The rest of the night went on pretty uneventful. Nobody noticed that Andy was there watch caused non of the fans to know that Juliet was pregnant or that Andy and his family were hauling around a 16 almost 17 year old. Then again I could probably pass off as his cousin or something so I guess I wasn't as big as a deal as Juliet.
After the movie we went to a little Italian place and ate dinner. And after that we just went home and played games.

Notes

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile but with no internet, school, the job I had during October it's been really hard. Sorry again and I'll try an update more.

Sorry for the crappy ending also I just couldn't think of anything else to put in it.
