Alexzander

The bright lights fill my vision as I pry my eye lids open, I saw a few figures. But I couldn't tell who it was, because I slammed my lids close again before reopening them once more, their dark hazel orbs scan my face. Like he was trying to remember my face structure, the pain and sadness vanished away from his eyes. Love and compassion replace it, his deep voice filled my ears and my tummy felt like it is doing flips. "How are you feeling Skyla?" He asked me as he placed a hand on my face, his thumb brushes up against my bottom lip. Dragging it down just a little, showing my white bottom teeth. His deep inhale for air, brought me out of my thoughts. I cleared my throat trying to speak, but no words could come out. I watched as he removed his hand from my face, he removed himself from my bed and walked over and got me a small cup of water. His large body was almost laughable in this small room he was standing in, his head almost touches the ceiling of my hospital room. Then it dongs on me, how long have I been in here? I only remember Rex going down on me while I was in a coma and after that lights out. I didn't notice his hand near my face and I flinched, his jaw ticked with anger. I quickly took the water cup from his hand and chugged it down in one gulp. I placed the cup back in his hand and finally spoke.

"I didn't mean to flinch, I didn't notice you were right beside me already. But ummm how long have I've been out?" I asked him with a shaky voice. I saw his body slowly relaxed. "You've been out for almost 6 months Skyla, after our ummm. fun. I think you just finally succumbed to the coma, you've been out for almost 6 months. We never thought you'd wake up again, but until right now." He spoke as he sat himself once again on my bed. His large hand cupped my own, he intertwined our fingers. His thumb running loving circle motions on my hand. "I want you to, let me go to my own home Rex, I don't want to be here anymore." I told him. My eyes never leaving our hand, the loving and carelessness he is showing me is breaking my heart, why couldn't he have done this before? I thought. I watched as he took his hand from mine and placed his hands on his lap.

"Why, why not just stay here, I promised you Skyla I will change for the best. Please don't leave me, I can't handle it." He spoke in a low sad tone. But my heart is set on leaving and I need to get out before it is too late.

"No, I want to go home. That house was my mothers house, and now it is mine. I want to get a job and work and live my life safely." I said In a stern voice.

" You want a job? Okay then how about this, and this is the only way I will let you leave me. You will work at my bar with Max and myself, we will drive you too and from work every day you are scheduled to work, you'll start off at $13.75 an hour." He said and my mouth dropped.

" Rex that is too much and you know it, pay me like every one else!" I yelled and his eyes grew dark and now I know this Alexzander.

" Do not yell at me Skyla, and you will accept this pay or you won't leave my house until you do. It is taking everything in me not to say no to you. So I suggest you just close your mouth or I'll put something in there for you." Rex spoke and left out of the room, my mouth is still open and I can't even believe he just said that. As I leaned back in my bed, I heard the door open. I turned my head to see who it was?

"Hello Skyla, how are you feeling? Max asked me as he sat in the chair next to my bed.

" I'm fine thank you, but I have a question for you Max?" I asked him

His left eyebrow went up, and I took that as to continue.

" Did you mean what you said a few months ago?" I asked him hoping it wasn't true.

"Between you and I Skyla, I don't even like you that way. I only said those words to make my stupid brother put a pep in his step, and so I heard that you'll be moving back into your house? How do you feel about that, will you be okay alone?" He asked me as he laid his right hand on my forearm. I smiled widely and shook my head yes, the smell of freedom filled my nose and a new, well not a new life but a new start for me is finally happening. I thought. Max's deep chuckle reached my ears and in return it made me laugh as well.

"What do you plan to change in the house?"

"Well if you must know silly, I plan on changing a lot. I mean a whole lot, like the wall paper, my room and well my m-moms room as well. It is going to be tough for me to get past all of that ya know. But I think it will be for the best, what do you think Max?" I asked with a big smile.

"Hm, I think change is good, I really do think it is good. But I honestly think you should not push yourself to change your mom's room Skyla, but if you ever need help I am here for you, even if my stupid brother isn't."

"Thank you so much Max!" I said hugging him tightly.

"I think I am going to call it a night and head to bed, Max I want to let you know. I love you like my older brother, so please always take care of me." I said before running off.
