6 The Text

"Hello again, Cindy." he said to my mom. She walked over to him, staying 5 feet away from him. "What do you want Luke?" she replied. Miranda standing behind me, holding my hand and arm tight. "Oh Cindy, I'm only here for Alex and Mike." he said. Mom looked at him, anger filled her eyes as she continued to stare at him. "You are not going to take my kids away from me, and you are most certainly not going to hurt Miranda or Justin!" she yelled. Miranda still behind my back, holding on tight to my hand and arm. He looked at mom, his eyes opened wide. They both didn't say a word. "Okay fine, but Alex, there's' someone who wants to say hello." he said. He looked over at his car, I looked at his car when I saw the car door open. A tall red haired girl stepped out of the car. When she was fully out of the car, she stared at me. "Clarabella?" I said, continuing to stare at her. "Hello again Alex." she replied. How is she here? And why is she with LUKE?! I thought to myself. "How are you here?! And why are you with him?!" I said, holding Miranda behind me. "Well, Luke went and visited me in the Blue City a few months ago. When he came to visit me, he offered me a visit to see you. I agreed. So he drove me in his car to come and see you again." Clarabella said, slowly walking over to me. "Wow, so my father offered you a ride to come see me? So, why are you really here Clarabella?" I asked once more. "I miss you Alex, I miss us. Please come back home with me " she said

.,

begging me to go back to the Blue City, to go back to my old life, to go back with her. "I'm sorry Clarabella but, this is my new life, my new home, and the place where I meet her. Clarabella meet my new girlfriend Miranda Chan." I said, revealing Miranda from behind my back. "It's nice to finally meet you Clarabella." Miranda said, giving her a small smile. "You and her? Why would you be with someone who's ugly?" Clarabella said. "Clarabella shut your mouth! Miranda is not ugly! She's beautiful, nice, kind, loving, sweet, amazing, and Miranda is the best girlfriend I ever had! Something you could never be." I said to Clarabella. Miranda looked up at me, giving me a smile. She looked back down at her feet, hugging my stomach. "Your kidding me right?" Clarabella asked. "No I'm not Clarabella. I am in love with Miranda! And also Clarabella, I don't miss you, never did, never had, and never will." I said, holding on to Miranda. Clarabella's face turned red like a cherry when I told her I never missed her. She began to walk her way over to Miranda and me. "Clarabella don't even think about it." I said, pushing Miranda behind me. Clarabella didn't stop walking her way over to Miranda and me. "I will kill her!" Clarabella swore. "Mike and Justin, take Miranda inside and make sure she's safe! Do you understand?!" I shouted to Mike and Justin. I kissed Miranda on the head and pushed her to Mike and Justin, they took her in the house and hid her behind a secret door

in my room. "Miranda please stay in here! Justin will be here with you. I'm going to help my sister." Mike said to Miranda. "What about Alex?! Is she going to be okay?" asked Miranda, tears started to roll down her face. "Yes she will be okay. I promise." Mike replied. "Please be safe." Justin said to Mike. "I promise. I love you." Mike replied, giving Miranda and Justin a hug. "We love you too." Justin said, holding Miranda tight to his chest. When Mike closed the secret door, he locked my room, ran back to the front porch to help me with Clarabella. "Clarabella stop this!" Mike yelled. Trying to push Clarabella out of the way. "She doesn't get to take Alex away from me! No one does!" Clarabella shouted. Mom and Luke rushed over to help me and Mike with Clarabella. Clarabella started to punch me in the face and she was starting to kick my body. Luke pulled her off of me as I layed on the floor. "Clarabella stop now!" he said. Mike and Luke took both of her arms and was holding her, one arm with Luke and the other with Mike. As they held her, I got up and started to punch, kick, hit, and beat her. She started to scream for mercy. "Clarabella this is for my girlfriend." I said, grabbing a stick and hitting her with it. Mom had to take the stick away from me before I killed her. "Now. Leave my family alone. Leave me alone. And leave my girlfriend alone!" I said pushing her to Luke. I stared at both of them, anger in my eyes. "Luke, don't ever come back, and take her with

you." I said. I turned my back and went inside. I ran to my room, opened the secret door in my room to find Miranda and Justin in the room, Justin holding Miranda as more tears rolled down her face. "Miranda it's okay now, she's gone." I said, taking a step back to let Miranda and Justin out of the room. As Miranda stepped out of the secret room, she ran over to me, hugging tight around my waist. "Thank god she's gone! Are you okay?" she asked, more tears continued to roll down her face. "Yes I'm fine, just a little beaten up, that's all." I said, hugging Miranda tight with my arms. Miranda looked up at me, her eyes opened wide when she saw the black eye, the bleeding nose, a busted lip, and cuts all over my body." Alex you are bleeding!" she pointed out. "I'm okay. It's just a little blood." I replied, wiping the blood from my face. Miranda pulled away from me, taking a look at me and my body. Her eyes opened wide once more. "Alex, you arm, leg, stomach, and hands are bleeding!" she replied. "Miranda I'm okay." I said. My clothes were ripped when Clarabella was beating me like a pole. I walked over to my mirror to take a glimpse of my beaten up body. "Miranda, I'm okay, I'll just bandage myself up and I'll be fine." I said. "Alex, you need to see a doctor, just in case." Justin said walking over to me. "Please just go Justin, I'll be fine." I replied. He walked over to my door and left my room as I asked him to do so. "Miranda, I'm okay, I just need your help with bandaging

and cleaning me up." I said. As I reached for my ripped t-shirt with the sleeves cut off, I turned around to sit on my bed. As I turned around, Miranda's eyes opened wide, seeing my wrap around my chest, scars from head to toe on my body. "Miranda, is everything alright?" I asked, grabbing the bandages and the boroxide from my bathroom. "Alex, why is there so many scars? And why is there a wrap around your chest?" she asked. I glanced at her, she had so many questions going through her head. "I know, there are so many questions going through your mind right now, and I'll try my best to answer all of them as best as I can, but I'll only answer 6 of them." I replied, walking back over to my bed with my bandages and the boroxide bottle in both hands. "Okay, can you answer my questions as I bandage you up?" she asked, walking over to my bed to help with bandaging and cleaning me up. "Yes I can." I answered. I turned over to my right, giving Miranda my arm and hand to clean and bandage. "Now your first question, the scars on my body were from when I lived in the Blue City, where my dad lived on the other side of the island. When I went to his house every Wednesday and Friday, he would get drunk of his butt. When I came home from school, I would find him, bottle of whisky in his hand and a cigarette in the other. He would ask about my day, go back to his room, then later walk into my room, still drunk. Then he started beating me, saying to me that I was a

mistake, that one would ever love me because I was gay. He would get a whip, tell me to take my shirt off, then start whipping my back till my skin was red and I started to bleed." I answered, looking down at my bed. When Miranda was finished cleaning my right arm and bandaged it up, I turned to my left, letting her clean my arm, neck, and hand. "Now, your second question, the wrap on my chest is for me to cover my brest up. When I first found out I was gay, I was covering my chest up with a wrap, dressing like a guy, I cut my hair like a guy's, then I started to smell like a guy. After a while, the wrap never came off unless I was taking a shower or going swimming. But I kept the wrap on because I hated the way my body was before I was gay, I remember how uncomfortable it was when I laid down to take a nap or go to sleep, when I was putting a bra on, and then my breast would just come out and show everyone. I honestly hated my breast, so after 2 years I started wrapping my chest with my bandage wrap." I replied, moving my arm away from Miranda, flipping over on my stomach for her to bandage and clean my cut on my back. "Why did Clarabella try to hurt me?" Miranda asked once more. I tried to lift my head for her to hear me clearly. "Question 3, Clarabella wasn't your typical normal girlfriend, she was very overprotective. When I had lived in the Blue City, Clarabella tried to hurt the girl that I had liked, trying to do the same thing she tried to do to you.

But she had gotten what she wanted. She had killed my crush. After a few months, she appolagised and never did it again. But, when I had to move here, she had ended it with me and her. After I had saw Luke after 10 years, I didn't know she would have been with him. But, she's gone and I have no reason to be with her because I'm with you and I love you only." I answered. Miranda looked at me, her face pale. "If you want, I can stop answering your questions." I replied, she looked up at me, giving me a small gren. "No, no, it's okay, please hand me your leg." Miranda answered, I had lifted my leg over to her side. "Do you still have any contact with any of your old friends from your old town?" Miranda asked again."Alright question 4, yes I only have contact with my best friend Caleb. He's an old friend, he's like me but likes guys. Caleb and I have been friends since we were in the first grade. Later I'll send him a text on my computer in my chatroom with him." I answered, setting my lag back down on the ground. Miranda smiled at me, her cheeks rosy pink. "Do you like we could video call him later?" Miranda asked, I looked at her giving her a warm smile. "Question 5, yes I'm sure Caleb wouldn't mind if we video called him later." I answered. "Last question, are you a descendant from an ink god?" Miranda asked. I can't tell her this, she'll think I'm dangerous and want to leave. I thought. "Well, yes I am. I'm a descendants from a man called Jurojin, the god of ink. When I first found out that I

was a descendant from Jurojin, it was when I met you. Mike is a descendent from the Apollo Helios, god of the sun. When I start to draw, the ink that flows through my veins, makes the drawings come to life! But, when I draw, the drawings can come to life, the drawings can wither be bad or good. But when I'm around you the drawings come to life but they're good." I said, getting up from my bed to change. Miranda didn't really move. "Miranda, your not scared of me are you?" I asked. I was worried that she would say yes. Miranda looked at me, giving me the slightest amount of fear that she had. "No Alex, I'm not scared of you, I will never be scared of you!" she answered, I stared at her, for a minute. I walked over to her, hands in My pockets. As I approached her, I wrapped my arms around her waist. I pulled her close, her body touching mine. As her body touched mine, I tilted Miranda's head up to met mine with her's. I leaned in to give her a kiss. As I kissed her, Miranda put my arms around my neck, pulling me down to her height. I lowered my arms to her thighs, lifting her in the air. I continued to kiss her, I walked her over to my bed, laying her on my bed. I continued to kiss her. She flipped me over, I laid in my back, her sitting up on my waist, I looked up at her as she took her shirt off. She lowered her body down back to mine, continuing to kiss me. I took my shirt off as I kissed her. We continued to kiss, I flipped her over on her back, taking her shorts off.

I continued to kiss down her stomach, her hands wrapped in my hair. I made my way back up to her. I continued to kiss her lips, I lifted her on to my waist. She lifted my shirt over my head, as my shirt came over my head I lifted my body to meet her's. I continued to kiss her. She pushed my body back down, she moved her mouth from my neck to my waist. She did the same thing as I did to her, it felt amazing. As she made her way back up to me, we both did something amazing! About an hour or two, I had woken up to Miranda asleep on my arm, her body against mine. I smiled at her, looking at her cute face when she was sleeping on my arm. I kissed her head as she slept on my arm. I slowly started to fall back asleep, as I started to closed my eyes, Miranda shifted her body to the right, her back against my stomach. She's so beautiful when she's asleep. I thought to myself as I closed my eyes and started to fall asleep.
