All it took was a kiss
I sat on the kitchen counter with a glass of water in hand, my mind deep in thoughts as flashes of what happened at the beach party consumed my thoughts. After going for a run, instead of releasing my mind from unwanted thoughts. My thoughts of him only grew more and more, invading my sleep.
No matter what I did, I couldn't sleep.
"I guess that I'm not the only one that can't sleep." Alexander stood by the door with crossed arms, a smile playing on his lips as he came into the kitchen, hoping on the counter next to me.
"I guess the twin thing is a fact, right?" Smiling back at him shortly, I took a sip from my water, "You don't need water, you." He hoped off the counter and opened a cabinet, "Need this."
"Dad will kill both you and me for stealing his liquor." He hoped back on the counter-top with two glasses in hand, "Just a drink sister, for twin's sake."
One drink turned into two and two into three and so on.
"I think drinking was definitely a bad choice. Come on sister, we'll both be in trouble." A loud giggle escaped from my throat, following by a hiccup.
"Why is love so complicated brother? If only I was just a mere human. Being a werewolf suck."
"Trust me sister, human life is not far different from us. In both lives, we all suffer the same faith. Love hurts in all form and us being a wolf doesn't change that and neither does being a human."
"Why can't I forget him?"
"Love works in strange ways dear sister, even though I hate him for what he did to you. It's very clear that you still love him. Now, it's time for you to sleep."
"No." I whined softly, stretching over as my brother rested me on the bed. "I don't want to sleep." He shushed me with a kiss on my forehead, "You need to, if not. We'll have our heads hanged by father if he finds out that we finished one of his best bottle of tequila from Mexico."
I rolled over in my bed in fits of giggles, my hair covering my face as I eyed my brother through my messy hair, "I'll try, I won't promise you anything."
"Sleep, see you tomorrow."
"Love you." I chirped loudly, slapping a hand over my mouth as I laughed uncontrollably. "You are clearly drunk, those words would never leave Alexandra's mouth, not even on her death bed."
I gasped, throwing him with my pillow, "Asshole! Now we both know that's not truth. I do love you."
"You sure do sister, sure do." Rolling my eyes at him, I catch the pillow he thew back at me. "Sucker."
"Goodnight sister."
"Night brother." I gathered the pillow closer to my chest as I turned around, trying to get some sleep.
The birds flew passed me as I ran into the woods, my body thrumming with adrenaline as I ran, my breaths came into shallow gasps as my feet moved beneath me in pounding rhythm. I didn't know where I was going. I just knew that I had to run.
I could hear their feet running behind me, chasing me but I won't give them the satisfaction of having me, so I kept on running.
The earth opens up beneath me and I was swallowed into a dark pit, my screams echoing through the darkness.
I felt into a clearing on my knees, staring up as the woods disappeared before me, the sun blinding my vision. I placed my hand over my eyes as I looked around, my hand holding the thick layers of my dress.
I stood up in confusion, my eyebrows knitted as I looked around, the trees turned into mirrors as my reflection danced around in a white dress.
What is this?
"Alexandra, you look so beautiful tonight." That voice, why is he here? "Max, you don't look bad yourself."
"No! Get away from him." I banged on the mirror as they danced away without a care in the world, tormenting me even more. We would have been so happy; we would have been everything.
Hot tears burned my cheeks as I stepped back, bumping into someone. I turned around only to come face to face with my worst nightmare, I screamed. Why was he here? What was he doing here? Why am I dreaming about him?
"We kissed remember, all it took was a kiss." I shook my head, backing away from him. "Stop running." I screamed loudly, scattering back as my hold on the thick layers of my dress tightened, whirling around as I started to run.
The flowers in the garden turned into monsters with teeth and eyes, my feet stopped abruptly as I shrieked in horror, my hands in front of my face. A hand grabbed mine as they pulled me out of the garden, the scenario changing.
"You can run but you can't hide Alexandra." I gasped, looking around for the voice but he wasn't there. What the hell? Is this some sort of sick joke?
Wake up! Wake up now!
It's enough, please make it stop.
"You want me here, in your dreams." I shivered slightly at the closeness of his body and shrieked out when I realized that he was behind me. "You're not real, you're not real."
This dream is a freaking nightmare. This can't be happening. "Oh love, this is more than just real. Your feelings for me is what keeps me here."
"No, my feelings for you died the moment you betrayed me." I slapped his hand away from my face, stepping away from him.
"The love you felt for me at some point still lives inside of you. Even though you try so hard to prove otherwise."
"No, get out of my head."
"You want me here, that's the only reason why I'm still here."
"No!" I woke up sweating and panting, my eyes glancing at the alarm clock on my nightstand. 06:30Am. My head pounding hard from the tequila I had last night. Touching my head with a loud groan of frustration, I slumped down on my bed as I stared at the ceiling, wondering what I ever did to deserve this.
Heartbreak and tequila definitely don't go together.
After thinking about everything I had possibly done to really deserve this punishment, I got out of my bed with a very long drag into my bathroom, hoping to clear my mind from that damn dream.
I looked up in the mirror to brush my teeth when I saw my face. It was pale as a ghost, and I had bags underneath my eyes. "Damn it. I hate you Maximinus." I wasted my entire night dreaming about him, can't he give me a break? I was tired of him being everywhere like a pest, if I don't see him at school, I would see him in my dreams. Well, more like nightmares, I rolled my eyes with a groan.
I took off my nightgown and strolled towards the shower, getting inside. My hand twisted open the shower handle and the warm water soon poured down on me as I washed my body.
I hummed a tune under my breath, moving my head to the beat as I grabbed my shampoo, washing my hair. I hummed underneath my breath as I sang pocketful of sunshine on top of my lungs, the showerhead my microphone.
"Shut the hell up Alexandra!" My brother shouted out from outside my room, and I sang louder, dancing around in the shower. I smirked, knowing very well that I was annoying him more.
"For the love of God!" My brother groaned hysterically, and I laughed, knowing that I was making him angry.
When I finished showering, I wrapped a towel around my body as I danced my way into my room. I hummed the tune as I danced, tossing the towel away as I got dressed, oh. I have the CD. I smirked, walking towards my radio as I played it.
The door opened as my brother came in and turned off the radio, "Hey!" I scolded at him, jaw dropping as he walked towards my window and pushed it open, throwing my CD out of the window.
"Payback's a bitch sister."
"You asshole!" I barked out at him as I leaned over the window, groaning when I couldn't see it. That bastard must have thrown it far away.
"Come on, we're going to be late for school." I turned around to glare at him harshly, his eyes widening as I went to attack him, but he closed the door behind him, screaming loudly in frustration, I went to get dressed.
This is not over.
"Hi bitches!" I made my big entrance into the dining room and my older brother Anderson gave me a disapproving look while my other brother Adrian just grinned. "Eat, you're already late." I rolled my eyes at him, as if we don't go to the same school.
I don't even know why my mother did what she did, now I was stuck with my brothers at school when they could have been gone to college by now.
"Alexandra." I snapped my head towards the voice and caught the object that was thrown my way, "Oh my God, no way!" I jumped from my chair and went to hug my dad, "My own car?" My bother snatched the keys from my hand, and I gasped – trying to take the keys back from him, "Our car sister, you mean our car." He whispered in my ear, and I leaned back, turning to look at my dad, "You can't be serious! Why do we have to share a car? It's not fair."
"We will share the car sissy; besides, this is your last year of school and after that you'll find your mate and move out. You won't need the car anyways."
"Why do I have to move out?" I whined like a bratty child as I crossed my arms with a sad pout, "It's just how this works, the female is the one to move out. In case of your brothers, their mates will have to move to our pack."
"Being a female suck." My father chuckled at me, his soft hands touching my head as he leaned it forward, kissing my forehead, "It doesn't suck, and you'll get used to it."
"Yeah, yeah, anyways. We're late for school let's go losers." I stuck my tongue out at my brothers as I made my way out of the dining room, "I have the key remember?" I suppressed the need to roll my eyes at my brother, "For now, idiot."
"Hey boys and Alexa!" Chloe said cheerily while Zoe just made a peace sign, her body leaning against my brother's car as she scrolled through her phone, "Why are you so cheery on a Monday?" I shook my head with a groan, making my way to the car.
"I ask myself the same thing every day, I live with her remember?"
"Hey!"
"Good one." I went to open the door only for it to get stuck. "Open the door bitch." My brother lifted his eyebrow at me as he unlocked only the driver seat.
"Hey!" I banged on the glass as my brother started the engine, ready to drive away, "Can you please open the door?" I gritted out between my teeth and my brother pulled down the window a little bit.
"What did you say? I didn't quite hear you." I glared at him with hatred, taking a deep breath as I faked a smile, "Can you please open the door, Alex?" He unlocked the door at that, and I got in, "Was it that hard sister?" I curled up my fingers as I tried to control the urge to punch him straight in the face. "Fuck off, and to think the words love you left my mouth yesterday.
"See? Told you."
