The next day, Alexa woke up pretty early. She's awake at 5 am because of nightmares. This time it's different. It's about Scarlett abandoning her again. Scarlett told her she wants Axel, not Alexa. All of the fucked-up things come into her nightmares. What makes her scared is that it literally Scarlett tells her in that dream.

Alexa gets up and gets ready and already in her school uniform except for her blazer. She just played with her laptop, phone until it was time to go downstairs for breakfast. Yeah, her eating has also been doing great. Scarlett waffles absolutely the best ever that she ever tastes.

"Hey, morning. I was just about to go get you" Scarlett said bumping into her daughter at the stairs who were going down. Scarlett kisses her head and she could feel her daughter tense at that gesture.

"I woke up early today" Alexa said, climbing down the stairs and making her way to the kitchen and saw Axel already eating his waffles.

Axel turns his head around quickly when he hears Alexa say she's awake early today. He was suspicious about it

"Lex, you okay?" Axel asks worriedly. Alexa internally curse when Axel ask her this question because now, Scarlett also worried when she hears Axel ask her daughter that

"Yeah, I'm fine. I know it's a big deal when I wake up early in the morning. Jeez" Alexa said, rolling her eyes. She's trying to cover it up by throwing an attitude

"We're just concerned, no need to be rude Alexandrea. I told you I don't need an attitude in this house or wherever you go. Especially when Rose is around. Rose gonna come home today for 2 days because Romain have some work here in LA and I don't need your attitude like this" Scarlett said pissed

There it is. Again, the reminder of how bad her influence can be on her daughter. The reminder that how messed up Alexa was even Scarlett didn't directly say it to her. Alexa has a brain, she won't be showing a kid bad attitude. She knows how to treat a kid. She's not stupid.

And, there goes her appetite to eat breakfast. Alexa texts Noah to come pick her up since he has a car and could bring her to school. She's in no mood to deal with Scarlett now. Or even today. 10 minutes later, Noah said he's outside, she grabs her thing and just left the house but before that Scarlett cut her off

"Where are you going young lady?" Scarlett asks but Alexa ignore her

"Alexandrea Rhislett Johansson! I'm talking to you; did you not hear me?" Scarlett asks pissed

"School with Noah. Are you coming, Axel?" Alexa said turning to Scarlett and Axel

"You're not eating your breakfast" Scarlett said

"Full already" Alexa stated

"By what? You're not eating anything yet" Scarlett said

"Are you coming or not Axel?! I have shit to do at school!" Alexa snapped at her twin brother unintentionally.

"Could you please respect the people in this house?! I'm your mother! He's your brother! You can't just go around yelling at people and give them attitude! You want to grow up with that attitude for the rest of your life?" Scarlett raised her voice

"I'm sorry" Alexa said calming down "Don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is who I am. My attitude depends on who you are"

"In case you didn't know, I haven't had a mother for 13 years in my life. It's not my fault that I don't know how to act like a decent young lady that you wished for" Alexa added sarcastically and then she slammed shut the door leaving the two of them.

Scarlett just sighs loudly, frustrated. Things are just going well and now, it all back to square one. Not to mention Rose is gonna come home today to her. She is really concerned about Alexa's attitude if she's gonna keep up with that. She doesn't want Rose to pick up on that attitude. She had enough with one daughter already.

"I'll try to talk to her. Don't worry Mom, she'll be fine. She knows how to control herself in front of kids. She knows it but she just hurt that you pointed like she doesn't know how to control her wild side in front of kids. Honestly, I can't blame her for that" Axel stated from behind her

"What? That's not what I meant for her" Scarlett said confusing and in bewilderment

"Well, then you said it in the wrong way. I gotta go to school" Axel exclaimed and today they didn't give their mother goodbye kisses.

Scarlett really in deep shit this time.

Alexa, Axel and Noah arrived at school. Alexa was silent the whole ride to school. Axel knows she must've had nightmares that's why she's awake early and then when Scarlett throws off the comment it makes her lose her shit.

Yeah, Axel also knows not to bother Alexa in the morning when she has nightmares. Guess, he forgets to tell Scarlett about it. Alexa is also wrong here. God, these two women in his life are making him go crazy.

They continued their lesson at school like usual until it was lunch time. Alexa didn't eat anything and Axel couldn't find her anywhere. He knows one place that she'll always go to.

Music room.

Once he reaches the music room, he can hear the piano being played and he knows exactly that melody. It's Alexa playing the piano. Whenever she's sad that will make you see the close of her being broken down. Playing piano.

Axel knew this was a serious matter when Alexa started to express her emotion through music. Alexa is one person who didn't know how to express her emotion in words.

15 years with her will do him that. Knowing things about her even there are no words that need to be expressed. Axel is her other half and Alexa is his other half. They know each other much more than anyone else.

He just stands there waiting for Alexa to be done.

-5 minutes later-

Alexa is done playing the piano.

"I know it's worse when you decided to throw an attitude this morning to cover it up" Axel's voice from behind startled her. Alexa turn around to see her stupid twin brother standing on the doorway.

"I'm sorry" Alexa replied quietly looking back at the piano.

Axel started to walk to Alexa and sit next to her, making Alexa lay her head on his shoulders automatically.

"Is it the same dream?" Axel asks straight to the point. Alexa shake her head as no

"It's the new one. The one I've been scared about. It's scared me so much" Alexa answered quietly

Alexa then told him about the dream she has, Axel just listened intently. After Alexa told him everything, Axel just stood there dumbfounded.

"Lex, you know that she'll never say that to you even if she's mad at you right? She loves you Alexa. I can feel it. I know the feeling of loving you so much dearly in their life. Though, she can't top my love for you but she loves you so much Alexa" Axel explains

"I don't know Axe. I genuinely don't know. Especially when she always mentions that she doesn't want Rose to pick up on my bitchy attitude. That hurt like fucking hell" Alexa said

"Yeah, I know that. She can't just throw that on you like that. So, today, when we're home. We'll prove it to her that she's wrong. By treating Rose, in the right way obviously." Axel exclaimed

"She's our sister of course I'm gonna treat her the right way" Alexa argues

"That's not what I meant! You think I didn't know that you want to take revenge on Scarlett in a bad way?!" Axel said annoyingly

"You are so annoying," Alexa said, pouting quietly.

"Yeah, I love you too," Axel replied, chuckling, kissing the top of her head.

I've just notice that both of my Evansson kids story are Scarlett being the villain in it. Well, not so Villain but still, she's wrong in it. But oh Scarlett, I'm sorry. This is just to spice things up in my story! None of it was real in the real life because we honestly don't know how's her life was actually HAHAHAH. But either way, I'm respecting Scarlett so much <3!
