Chapter 5 - Chapter four:A shower a weekend

When Alex was upstairs and heard the intro to hamilton he started the shower he so desperately needed. Lenny was a good kid but was kind of a handful when he got back from work so he often waited for the weekends to take a shower. Lenny found this a horrible habit but still needs someone to give her the attention that she deserves. Alex let out a heavy sigh that he didn't know he was holding in with a shaky undertone. "Well I'm not gonna stop caring for Lenny so this is my routine for now" the boy whispers to himself while he got undressed and heated up the water for his shower. He looked in the mirror, looking at all the scars from the fire that his parents were murdered in. The boy shook slightly, small tears forming in his round eyes while he sat in the shower. The warm water hit his back and head with small thumps that drownd out his sobs. Alex only ever cried when he was in the shower so he could look and act strong for Lenny. Lenny, Alex was all she really had left, so Alex faught for her everyday. Alex looked up when he thought he say feet of someone standing in front of him only seeing nothing. The boy shook more and stood unevenly to look out of the shower. Seeing nobody he sighed a heavy sigh and started washing his hair. When Alex was done washing his body and rinsing himself off he got out turning the water off. Alex felt around for his towel and sighed when he found it where he left it, wrapping it around himself. He stumbled out of the tub with the towel around his waist. He didn't see his clothes where he had left them or the small reminisce of black smoke fading away when he got out.
