The Wretched And Divine
It's What We Hide With Every Lie
ANDY'S POV
"Wheres Alex?" Jinxx asked.
We were in the middle of eating pizza, the guys showed a little over two hours before. Alex never came downstairs. I mean, I didn't really expect her to. Honestly I don't know why I continued to offer her. I guess I just hoped that one day she would come down stairs and everything would be fine again.
"Bed, like she has been." I sighed. The guys frowned.
"Still?" Jinxx asked. I nodded, shaking my head bitterly.
I missed her. I missed the old Alex that I fell it love with. I was still in love with her, that would never change. I just wanted my Alex back. That's all.
"I don't know what I'm gonna do. My parents are away at business and I can't visit the Head Master without them. I just wanna kill that son of a bitch for making her this way." I growled angrily. "She's getting worse and worse every day. She doesn't-" I stopped myself when I heard tiny footsteps coming down the stairs. Every head turned to see Alex wearing a pair of yoga pants and her Motionless In White crew neck. She walked by us silently, heading to the kitchen for a glass of water. I got worried when I saw her stumble a bit but dismissed it when she caught herself. I made a mental note in the back of my mind to remember that.
"Hey Alex, come hangout with us!" CC chirped. Alex quickly finished her glass of water before coming into the living room.
"I'm kind of tired thanks though." She mumbled emotionlessly, tugging on the sleeve of her crew neck. Alex looked at me almost apologetically before she hurried upstairs. I sighed once again when I heard my door shut.
"I think you should go talk to her, she needs your support." Ashley stated, getting nods in agreement.
"I've tried, she just shuts me out and if I pry too much she snaps at me. I know there's something wrong, that's obvious. I just want her to get better." I frowned, placing my head in my hands. I looked up when I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Don't give up man. Under all that sadness she's still the same Alex you're mated will, don't lose hope." Jinxx smiled before leaving with the guys. I sighed and nodded, taking in what he had said. I can't give up. I won't. With that, I walked up the stairs.
Walking into my room I heard semi loud crying and sniffling come from the body under my covers. I walked to my bed silently and gently tapped on what I assumed was her shoulder. She jumped slightly before her arms started moving under the covers. After a minute or so, she pulled them off her head. I frowned at her puffy blood shot eyes.
"You okay?" I frowned. I noticed Alex's bottom lip tremble slightly before she shook her head at herself and nodded.
"Great." Her voice cracked, smiling fakely. I sighed and sat down on the bed next to her, taking in her broken appearance.
"Want some food?' I questioned. A look of disgust washed over Alex's face.
"I already ate." She whispered. Leaning over, I placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.
"God, you're freezing!" I exclaimed. Alex shrugged and laid back down before rolling over. I slipped my shoes off and crawled into bed with her, instantly wrapping my arm around her waist.
My head shot up when I felt the individual lining of each rib. She almost frantically tried pulling my arm up when she realized I felt her ribs, failing since my strength was much greater than hers. In a flash Alex shot up and ripped my arm off her. Her trembling hands pushed me away from her, sending me to the floor.
"What the fuck Alex? What was that for?" I asked angrily, voice raised. She hugged her knees to her chest and buried her face momentarily.
"Don't touch me!" She shouted, running a hand through her neglected hair and breathed deeply to stop the tears that threatened to flow.
"Why can I feel your ribs perfectly." I pried, wanting an explanation for what I felt. Alex got off the bed and faced me, her finger raised in my face.
"You didn't feel anything!" She yelled, tears welling up in her eyes more as the seconds went by.
"Yes I did! They stick out!" I shouted. Alex tried walking past me but I quickly grabbed her arm and stopped her from doing so. A look if fury washed over Alex's features before she turned around and slapped me across the face. I released her arm as my hand shot up to my stinging cheek. I was surprised she hit me that hard. The look of fury was quickly released with remorse as Alex's jaw dropped open in realization of what she had done.
Alex cried out loudly before running out of my room, leaving me there to think:
What the fuck just happened?

@Red Phoenix77 i wrote this back when i was about 13 (im 18 now) but i assume that my thought process was that vampires weren't undead, they were very much alive. also, i was very inexperienced when writing this story so i didn't put too much thought into things. maybe i'll re-write it one day! :)
