The Wretched And Divine
The Best Things In Life
ANDY'S POV
"So what happened with Alex today?" Ash spoke up, holding a half eaten french fry in his hand. The other three glanced over at me curiously, waiting for my response. I sighed and took a sip of my coke to delay the explanation.
Despite me thinking Alex was wrong, i had a strange feeling in my gut that the guys, or at least one of them, were going to agree with her. It didn't make me feel any better to know that usually my gut feelings were correct.
"Upon the realization that i could get seriously hurt or worse, killed, she began going against the whole idea of me visiting the Head Master. No matter how much i tried to reason with her she ended up forbidding me from going through with it and said the only way i could arrange the 'fight' is if she can be there when it happens. I told her no and that she couldn't tell me what to do so she got in my face and said something like "neither can you", then Ash walked in." I explained.
"I don't think she's completely wrong...." Here it comes. "But i don't think you are either." Jinxx spoke, gaining nods in agreement. I remained silent, interested in where this was heading.
"Yeah," Jake nodded. "On Alex's side, i think it would be good for her to witness Max's murder; it would be good for her healing process. Also, she would be a constant physical reminder of what that bastard did so it would help in channeling your hatred towards him. But on your side, if you glanced away for a second, he could potentially kill her."
"That's what i tried to explain! She was so hell-bent on both of us going or none of us going that even the realization that she could die didn't change her mind." I exclaimed, breathing heavily.
"I think you should let her." CC spoke up quietly. I had almost forgotten that he was there by how quiet he got when the topic was brought up. Every head turned in his direction, silently urging him to explain why. "She needs the closure." He said.
After a few minutes of silence, Ashley spoke up again.
"I agree with him." He nodded, four other encouraging nods following his lead. I sighed heavily and allowed my head to drop into my hands. The guys were silent, allowing me to think thoroughly.
"...You guys are right." I mumbled, almost inaudibly. I knew i didn't have to repeat myself or speak louder; their advanced hearing ensured that they heard me.
"We are, Andy. She needs this. I'll even go with you guys to make sure he doesn't lay a grimy finger on her. Alex deserves to watch the guy that took everything from her suffer the ultimate consequences." Ashley spoke softly. I took one more deep breath before i looked up to meet the guys' calm gazes.
"Okay."
The guys all smiled and Ashley placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder.
"You're doing a good thing, Andy. And i promise you when i say he wont touch her. Like you, i'd risk my life for that girl." He grinned genuinely. I nodded in knowing and smiled back before returning to my neglected, half-eaten food.
I walked up to my closed bedroom door, mentally preparing myself for the bitterness i was about to face. I turned the knob and quietly crept into the room upon seeing Alex's sleeping figure wrapped up in one of my sweatshirts and the comforter. I smiled to myself as i tip-toed towards my bed.
"Alex.." I whispered softly, rubbing her cheek with my thumb. She stirred slightly before her eyes fluttered open. Alex yawned cutely and pawed at her eyes as she sat up.
"I must have fallen asleep while watching tv." She said, her eyes glazed over sleepily.
It wasn't as tension filled as i thought it would be. In fact, there wasn't any tension at all. Maybe it was because Alex was still half asleep and was unaware of our fight just hours prior, or maybe she was rethinking everything she said. Whatever it was, i was thankful for it.
"You can go with me." I stated simply. Alex's eyes furrowed together in confusion before they raised with excitement.
"Really?" She asked, a happy smiling tugging at the corners of her lips. I nodded and despite how uneasy i was feeling, i smiled too. Alex's happiness was always contagious.
"Thank you." Alex whispered after she crawled into my lap and wrapped her arms around my neck. I kissed her passionately as a way to say 'you're welcome'.
I daringly ran my tongue along her bottom lip, awaiting her confirmation. I was cautious about the step i was taking due to the fact that Alex and i hadn't made out since the night Max raped her. The furthest we'd go were some innocent pecks on the lips, nothing more. I didn't know if it was because she was uncomfortable or because i was always the one to encourage it. But, surprisingly, she opened her mouth enough for me to slip my tongue passed her lips.
I placed my hands on her butt and lifted her up further onto my body then slowly leaned forward till her back hit the mattress. Her legs were still tightly wrapped around my waist. I rested a hand on her hip and put the other one next to her head to hold myself up. Alex's hands, which were once softly gripping the sides of my face, moved down to my lower back, ultimately pulling my body closer to hers. I grinned through our kiss when she suggestively lifted her hips so her most intimate part would rub against mine. A low moan escaped past my lips, forcing me to break our kiss. I lowered my hips onto hers and moved my hand to the small of her back to create more friction. It felt amazing. I was going on months of sexual abstinence, so even the smallest amount of friction created a huge amount of pleasure.
"Andy! Alex! Dinner!" My mom yelled just as Alex breathed a moan. Our hips stopped their rolling motion the second her voice echoed up the stairs. I dropped my head onto Alex's shoulder and laughed at how bad our luck was when it came to getting intimate.
"Every time!" Alex complained, laughing slightly. I nodded in agreement and lifted myself off her tiny body. Looking down, i groaned at the abnormally large bulge in my very tight skinny jeans. Alex giggled and blushed when her eyes landed on where mine were.
"Great." I mumbled. Alex giggled once more before crawling over to where i was sitting.
"Don't worry baby, i'll fix your little problem after dinner." She bit her lip seductively, making the issue in my pants twitch with excitement. My eyes widened in shock and i raised an eyebrow in question, silently asking Alex if she was serious. She nodded before planting a kiss on my lips and moving off the bed. I followed her downstairs, grinning madly.
Well, fuck. I'm excited.

@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! :)
