ALEX'S OUTBURSTS

I was in the garden, playing hide and seek with Alexa one evening when I sensed Alex yelling at one of the servant's children.

Using every word of the demeaning adjective dictionary.

I went to the scene and saw him hurling insults a seven year old should never know. Then he leaped forward and tried to attack the boy.

I ran forward and caught him in the air as he kicked and flailed his legs at the child who was a little older than him.

"...good for nothing pest! We took you in only to betray us and..."He yelled.

"Alex! What is going on?!"I yelled back.

"This thing tried to rob me! He tried to steal from me!"He yelled.

I looked at the boy, who was looking down in shame then asked Alex to explain everything.

"I told this slave boy to get me a snack and before I realized, he spat in my food, after eating half of it!"

"But that's not..."

"Shut your front a** hole!"He yelled.

"Alex, that's enough."I said,"Tell me how it happened, kid."

He started fidgeting with his fingers for a few seconds then started talking,"I was really hungry and wanted to get something to eat. I realize Master Alex had so much food to eat, so I tried to eat some of his leftovers..."

I read his mind, he was telling the truth.

"Lying son of a b*tch!!"Alex yelled.

"Alex he's telling the truth."I said.

"What?! You're going to believe this thing over your own brother?!"He yelled.

"Yes! And stop calling him a thing! He's a human being just like you!"

"You've always hated me and preferred even poor people to me."

"That's not true and you know it."

He pushed me back then ran to his room.

I then went to the boy and asked his name.

"Poo Na Na."

"Well Poo Na Na, you have my permission to take any food you wish whenever you're hungry, and so as your family."I said.

"Really?"He asked.

I nodded.

He thanked me and hugged me but immediately pulled back and apologized, but I hugged him back.

I went to Alex's room to check on him and called him, he didn't respond.

I knocked the door and called again then he cursed me and said he wanted to be left alone.

I groaned then hydroteleported in then yelled at what I saw.

He was cutting his own arm with a knife made of ice VII and dropping the blood on Alexa's bed.

I ran to him and snatched it out of his grip as he yelled and tried to take it from me.

I threw it and it pierced through the wall, yes, that was how sharp it was.

I yelled,"Why are you doing this?!"

Alexa opened the door with her key and saw what was happening then gasped.

He yelled,"If hurting myself if the only way for me to make you care about me then that's what I'll do!"

I slapped him in the face and he was caught by surprise.

Alexa stared in horror as he asked,"Did you just..."

"Yes and I'll do it again! If hurting you is the only way I can make you listen to me then that's what I'll do!"

He raised his middle finger to me and I widened my eyes. I was about to slap him again with the back of my hand but Alexa ran in front of him and stretched her arms and said,"Please Felix, don't hurt Alex again, if you do... you'll have to hurt me first."

My rage full gaze softened till he pushed her to the floor and yelled,"I don't need a loser like you to defend me from this bully!"

I just gently helped the crying Alexa up and took her out of the room.

We went downstairs then she said,"Felix, please don't hurt him."

"Alexa, don't you see how he's acting, that's the only way."I said.

"But what if we talked to him?"She suggested.

"The time for talking is over, he's getting worse everyday, he'll hurt you if you defend him, please, I can't lose you, any of you...I've gotta go and heal him, just stay here and play with Squeakers, okay?"

She nodded. Squeakers seemed to understand what was happening as it whimpered and rubbed its head on Alexa's legs to comfort her.

She picked him up and brushed his hair...cilia.

I went to the room where he was still cutting himself.

I picked him up and he screamed and kicked, I really wished my parents were home.

I commanded him to sleep and the water in his brain made him to.

Then I controlled the blood on the bed and made it flow back to his body, then I healed the wounds and placed him on this bed.

' Why are you like this Alex? ' I thought to myself.

I sighed and left.

I went to meet Alexa, playing with Squeakers with the boy Alex just molested, Poo Na Na and making him feel better.

They were blowing air on Squeakers' face and it was trying to bite that invisible and cool thing touching it. I smiled to myself. At least Alexa was like him.

***

A few days later was the twins' birthday and my dad threw a huge party.

He invited Alexa's whole school and all the children their age from the camp and Alex was as usual, playing nice for my dad.

Alexa met Trevor at the party and couldn't look him in the eyes, neither could he, but she could see his cheeks flushing red.

They took a picture together with their whole class and were extremely surprised at how close they were together.

They spent a lot of time together and that made Alex angry, but he lost it when Alexa kissed him on the cheek.

Alex blasted Trevor with water and jumped on the boy and tried to punch him with a sharp block of ice I c on his fist but my dad was able to stop him.

He had never seen Alex act out like that before.

Trevor was terrified and I had to give him a million apologies before he was fine, but he never blamed Alexa.

My mom, on the other hand, blamed my dad. She said it was he who spoiled him and who was too blind to see how he had been acting and my dad was filled with regret, Alex was also sad for disappointing my dad, but angry at Trevor and Alexa, he wanted revenge...
