So Childish

Alex stepped out into the bedroom as he heard his phone ringing continuously displaying an unknown number.

"And who might it be calling me in the middle of the night?" He wondered as he answered it. "Hello?" He spoke with his magnificent voice

"Alexander Dave Collins!" Yelled Mr.Collins over the other side of the phone.

"Ouch!" He frowned and moved the phone away from his ears.

"You-You insolent son of mine! How dare you run away?" Mr.Collins spoke fiercely letting out all his anger.

"Tch! Again" he mumbled as he tried cutting the call.

"Don't you dare Alex!" Mr.Collins said as he predicted in advance over calling him for several times already.

"What?" He spoke in a cold, aloof tone.

"Come back home, will you." Mr.Collins sighed "I-I'm just tired. Tired of searching for you constantly for years, ever since you ran away along with Ben and Harry. We're all worried, it's too dangerous for you three, the prince and the guardians to be out there, when there are enemies all around.." he spoke in a slow yet firm tone.

"No!" Alex refuted. "Anywhere is better than that castle, no a prison. You just- put me up there, lock me, as if, I'm a kind of asset. I'm a human dad, a living object!" He cried. "And one thing, I'm not going back to the kingdom. Neither Ben nor Harry" he said and cut the call.

"Uncle Harold again?" asked a blonde haired guy jumping over his bed.

"Yes" Alex sighed throwing the phone on the bed frustrated.

"What about it?" Asked another guy turning on the lights. He was holding a huge book in his hands and was leaning over the wall.

"The same thing" Alex replied looking over at him. "Found anything, Ben?" Alex asked him rubbing his temples.

"I've been reading this book for quiet a while, but no" Ben replied. "I don't think this one is of any help." He continued.

"Reading?" The blonde guy asked amused. "Psh! You kidding me" he tittered "the room was completely dark earlier. How could you even rea-"

"I'm Ecto-visioned" Ben replied.

"Wha- since when?" He asked Ben

"Since I was 10" Ben replied crossing over his arms.

"10?" The blonde guy repeated. "What the heck! You never told me?"

"You never asked" Ben replied.

"Say what" he mumbled and turned over to Alex "you knew this, don't you?" He asked

"I do. For few years already" he nodded.

"The heck! So I was the only one in the dark, huh? This is cheating!" He started throwing a tantrum like a kid.

"So childish" Ben scoffed as he sat back on the study table reading another book.

"Harry," Alex called the blonde guy who was rolling over his bed.

"Hump!" he hummed as he tucked his face into the pillows refusing to show his face.

"How childish!" Alex pulled away the pillows off his face. "Go and sleep over on your bed. This is mine!" He said as he kicked him out of his bed. "And also, take a bath before you sleep! You stink!" He said pulling his bed sheets and tucking himself to sleep

"Oww!" Harry cried in pain as he struggled standing upright after experiencing a downfall from Alex's bed. "Hump! I don't" he denied rubbing his butt and looked at Ben.

"How did I ever get a childish brother like you" Ben sighed and switched off the lights. "Do not forget to take a bath, you stink, a lot.." Ben said and shifted his head back towards his book.

"You both.. I hate you guys.. hump!" Harry quickly grabbed his towel and went into the bathroom stomping his foot.
