Scars

Finals...

(A/N:Sorry for the last chapter being so short, most of my writing is on the spot so I didn't really want it to be too long and bore you.)

It's been about 2 weeks since I was sick. I told David about what happened(cause I had nothing else to do)and he suggested I become his roommate. Why not? I'm moving in tomorrow. Also, finals are fast approaching and I have a lot of studying to do. I want to do well, and I usually do, but I can never seem to study well. My anxiety doesn't help either. I've always got good(ish) marks and my parents seemed pretty proud, but lately my marks have been decreasing a bit. Seeing as my drawing skills are pretty shit, I may as well study a bit more to pass the time instead of stressing myself over something small like that. I really love drawing but sometimes I wonder why I'm even stupid enough to stress myself to improve. After I got home from school I started packing my things. Thank the holy Lord I haven't got that many belongings. I'm hoping to buy some more clothes and art supplies once I move into the new house though. I'm pretty lucky if you ask me. David said I only had to pay for my rent expense and my own food, my parents already pay for my school fees and textbooks(which I'm really thankful for)and I don't go out much so I don't pay much for fuel.

I'm saving up to buy a small deep sea cabin boat. Then it'll just be me, my drawings, Kitty and my writing. I'm pretty close too. Just a few more months of working my stupid job as a waiter and I'll be able to get it.

I finished packing my things and flopped onto the bed, feeling exhausted. I'm not athletically or mentally fit to be honest. I also really lazy so I was pretty tired. I decided to spend the last few hours before I went to bed with my parents, so I walked to the lounge and sat on the couch, in between my mom and dad who were sitting on the same couch for some reason. Everyone is usually very protective over their own couches. My parents both looked at me, then at each other and grinned evily."Don't you dare!"I told them both, knowing exactly what they were gonna do, their grins only growing wider. They lunged at me tickling me all over and no matter how hard I tried to stay serious, I couldn't help but burst out laughing. I fell back onto the couch as I lost my balance from all the tickles and  laughed hysterically. When they saw I couldn't breathe anymore, they stopped and I slowly regained my breath. I inhaled deeply and said"I hate you guys!! I hate you guys so much!!"while laughing. Them, knowing it was a joke did the thing where they kissed my cheeks at the same time and said simultaneously"we love you too Alley!"

My baby boy's all grown up. He's leaving again tomorrow. I'm happy, but I'm gonna miss him.

Andrew's(Dad's) P.O.V
That little melon is so sweet. I just hope he has someone to protect him when has not with us. I'm not saying he can't protect himself, I didn't raise him like that. He's just, sensitive.

Alex's P.O.V
I walked to my room laughing with my hair in a complete mess after my parents ruffled it. I walked to the room and got my boxers out, not bothering with anything else cause I had already packed my bags. I got into the shower and washed my hair, making sure I was presentable for tomorrow. I brushed my teeth(somethi g I should do more often)and yawned continuously as I crawled into bed.

Sleep was ok. Couldve been better. Its Saturday and I'm moving into the new house with David as my apparent new roommate. I don't know any of the others living in the house but I guess I'll just have to find out when I get there. He sent me the address last night. I got my 2 boxes, duffel and suitcase and loaded them into my pickup, Kitty circling my legs the entire time. David said it was fine if she lived with us. "The more the merrier!" Is what he put it as.

I spent another hour or so with my parents before saying my final good byes. I waved goodbye and blew a kiss in the most retarded way possible just to make my mom laugh. She seemed a little sad at my departure. I put kitty on the passengers seat as per usual and pulled out of the driveway. They waved goodbye one last time and I smiled as I did the same. I checked my phone to look at the address. Traffic was bad, timing was worse and Kitty was getting annoying. But none the less we arrived at the house. It seemed pretty big to be honest. Double story and in a quiet area, just outside the city. It was nice. A little old and run down, but to me that was aesthetically pleasing. It looked... lived in, comfortable. I knocked, carrying a box and my duffel on my one shoulder. David answered the door and had a huge smile on his face. I couldn't help but smile back. IT WAS CONTAGEOUS OK!!"H-Hey"shit I stuttered!"thanks again for letting me stay here." He smiled and ruffled my hair"no problem! We're slowly building an empire here!"

"I can see that,"I chuckled and put the one box on my head while retrieving the other."your room is upstairs in the loft, sorry it's not the best, it's a little dusty but I hope it's ok" he walked inside and I followed"dude, you've done enough already, I'm sure it's fine"I said and he pointed in the direction of my room. I walked upstairs and into the loft. It was big! A tall window with an internal ledge I can sit and read on. Loooong walls I can stick posters and art on. A slanted ceiling and a desk already available. There were some boxes and a bit of dust but nothing major.
