1 year 5 days : Chapter 34
Alex was at his bed, again. It was what he was usually doing nowadays other than going to the pub with Kev and Sam, lying at his bed and contemplating with whatever he felt like contemplating and now, he was contemplating on what happened two weeks ago. Outside his room, was a frustrated Danielle. He had no idea she was outside his room, attempting to knock on his door and to have a little conversation with him.
“Just get it over with Danielle.” She whispered to herself as quietly as possible. Her fingers lingered on the wooden door. Myles was watching from his room, Danielle had told him to stay back and to let her do her business. She took a deep breathe and wished her self good luck and in the count of three she lightly knocked on the door. A few seconds later Alex opened it.
“Danielle?” Alex said with confusion.
“Can we… talk?” She said. Alex paused for a bit then nodded. He closed the door after Danielle had entered in his room. Danielle sat on his bed and so did he.
Their hands collided and Kevin felt the warm tender touch of Emily’s palm. He sniggered quietly and cleared his throat, licked his lips nervously and outlined her hands with his index finger. They walked along the busy street as one, peering into shops and pawing through the crowd.
” Oh look, Kev!” Emily whispered, pointing into a small shop full of hats.
“A hat shop.” Kevin muttered.
“C’mere.” she called, pulling him into the wonderland. She immediately reached for a huge sombrero in the front and hooked into onto Kevin’s head.
“Hmmm…not this one. ” she said to herself, as she wandered around the shop in sheer delight.
“Oh for god’s sake Em. Sometimes you’re so childish.” Kevin grumbled. He walked around the shop and tried on the funny hats, taking photos of himself in the mirror. Suddenly he felt a strong tug on his left hand and he was facing his girlfriend.
” Woah, Whats up?” he whispered. She smiled and put on a flat cap on his head.
“Brilliant.” she commented.
“Alex-“
“Danielle…Do you want to go out with me?” Alex whispered.
“What?”
“You heard me.”
“Look Alex, this is a big misunderstanding. I’m dating Myles, and I don’t have any other feelings to you.”
“Alright. I get it. You don’t need to worry now. I get it.” Alex unlocked his phone and dialed a few numbers.
“Sam? Same pub.” he said as he rushed out of his room.
Sam groaned angrily as he put on his coat. He slid on his socks and combed his hair.
“Alex you arse.” he grumbled. The cold drizzle of rain cascaded onto his shoulder and he quickly paced into the streets.
“Why does he always presume im
Free?” he complained.
“I have my life too.”

One Year, Five Days (Chapter 33)
They kissed. Kevin’s heart was about to burst. Their kiss was more than fireworks in the background; it was more than perfect. His brain couldn’t take what was happening at that time. All he knew was that he was happy. The same went for Emily. When they parted for air, all they could do was smile.
“You’re a good kisser.” Emily said shyly.
“So are you, Emily…” Kevin replied, just as shyly.
The room was silent. But it was good silence, not an awkward silence. As the seconds passed, their faces were getting nearer again and they waited for the gap to close. They kissed. Again. This time, it was better and longer than first. When they parted, a few whistles could be heard from other tables. They weren’t aware they were being looked at. But they didn’t care.
Back in the Trimble’s residence, Alex and Myles were still in a tight situation. Their mother had to stay just to prevent them from fighting. Myles had tried to talk to Alex again but Alex ended up shouting at him. Eventually, their tempers cooled down and ended up in each of their own separate rooms.
“That guy has problems.” Myles whispered to himself. “I try talking to him nicely and what does he do? He punches me. What is it with that guy?” He started massaging his face. He was stressed. Why wouldn’t he be? Alex was being stubborn, and it was sort of understandable, but in Myles’ point of view, he just couldn’t understand why Alex was like that.
“Can I come in?” Alex asked. His voice could barely be heard. Myles couldn’t understand his words.
“What?” Myles asked.
“I asked if I could come in.” Alex said, his voice a bit louder now.
“Uh okay… What do you want?”
“To talk.”
“Are you serious?” Myles asked, a bit confused. In the corner of Myles’ eyes he saw his mom outside his door with a smile on her face and from there he knew that Alex was forced into this but he didn’t mind. At least his brother decided to have a talk.
“Yeah, I am.” Myles suddenly heard footsteps descending the steps. He heard his mother shouting that she was off to the market. He heard a door slamming.
“Okay… what do you want to talk about?”
“You know… Danielle.”
“I already told you. I don’t want to repeat myself.”
“I just wanted to ask you something.”
“What?”
“You told me that Danielle had no ‘romantic feelings for me’.”
“Yeah?”
“Did she actually tell you that?”
“Yeah…” Alex turned quiet. He remembered his kiss with Danielle. Anger was consuming him again. He thought his brother was lying. He kissed Danielle for Pete’s sake and the kiss was special! Alex knew the kiss had something more to it. He couldn’t accept Myles’ words. It seemed everything coming from Myles’ mouth was lie.
“You’re lying.” Alex said. He was ready to punch him in the face again, but he held back. He promised his mom he wouldn’t punch Myles when they talked.
“I’m not. Why would I?”
“I kissed her. She kissed back.” Myles twitched a bit. He knew they kissed but still, the thought pestered him.
“Yeah, so what?”
“She kissed back. It means she actually has feelings for me. Are you stupid?”
“Yeah, keep telling yourself that. Look, if you don’t want to believe me then go ask her yourself.” Alex wanted to punch Myles so hard now. And as Myles stood up to get out he felt Alex’s fist on his face.
“Fuck. What the fucking hell did I do now, huh?” Myles screamed.
“Everything.”
“Everything what?! Are you angry at me because I have Danielle as a girlfriend? Well deal with it! I love her and I asked her first.”
“Shut up! The two of you don’t look good together.”
“No, you shut up! The two of you look bad together.”
“Ugh. Go die!” He was about to punch him again but he felt feminine hands hold his fists. Alex looked to his right and he saw Danielle. She had an angry face plastered on.
“D-danielle! What’re you doing here?” Myles said.
“I just came to visit,” Danielle said with an expressionless voice. “What the fucking hell are you two fighting about?” She snapped. The two boys looked at her with surprise. They were both speechless. “Well?” She asked. Alex left the room with a straight face. Danielle sighed and sat next to Myles on his bed.
“What were the two of you fighting about?” She asked. This time, a bit calmer.
“Er… I told Alex about how I knew the kiss thing and then I cleared out to him that… you know the rest… Sorry…”
“Sorry too for getting mad… But why, Myles? Didn’t I already tell you not to do that? Look at what happened now.”
“I know and I’m really, really sorry. I just thought that he’d really need to know. I mean, have you seen him lately, Danielle? He looks like a hobo most of time now.”
“Er, Myles… that’s really sweet of you to care for him but look at what happened. The two of you fought.”
“Look, I’ll go talk to Alex when I get the courage to and you just stay out. Please, Myles?”
“Okay… but what if he punches you?”
“He won’t. I can assure you of that.”
“Okay, but if he does… scream, okay?”
Alex pulled his knees up against his chest, hugging his legs as he sat on his bed. His face was sweaty and full of tears. He looked at his hands. They were red from being squeezed too much because of stress. He frowned.
‘What the hell’s happening to me?’ He asked himself. He was becoming a monster. And it was because of a girl. It was like a messed up Beauty and the Beast story for him. He didn’t know what to do, and he was too stressed, depressed, sad, everything. He decided to sleep. Hoping when he woke up, it would all end.

One Year , Five Days (Chapter 31)
Alex opened the door to find Myles standing in front of him.
“Hi, Alex,” Myles greeted. “We need to talk.”
Alex let his brother in and closed the door behind them.
“Um, I know what happened between you and Danielle.” Myles said.
Alex was surprised. Myles noticed his reaction and quickly added, “It’s okay, it really is.”
Alex’s face softened a bit, muscles relaxing.
“I just wanted to make it clear that Danielle has no romantic feelings for you. She finds you cool, yeah, but she doesn’t want you as a boyfriend.” Myles said. He sighed.
Anger slowly grew on Alex’s face.
“So don’t stress about it. If I were you, stop thinking about her. There’re lots of other girls out there, Alex. One of them would be for you, but not her.”
Everything in Alex’s vision turned into anger. His memories of moments with Danielle flashed before his eyes. How could Myles just say that after all that they had been through?
Myles was surprised to feel hard knuckles against his face. Alex had punched him, and punched him again. Myles stepped backwards and leaned against the door to steady himself, cradling his face. He coughed and gritted his teeth.
There was a moment of hesitation before Myles punched back. Soon, their fists were flying and the brothers were stuck in a grapple. Myles stepped away and yelled out, his voice ringing throughout the house, “I can’t believe it! I already talked to you properly and you still won’t see it!”
“Myles? Alex? What’s going on?” he heard their mother ask. There was a knock on the door and then the door creaked open. Her eyes widened in surprise and pulled them apart. “what are you two doing? Stop fighting now!”
They stood apart, Myles nursing himself and Alex seething. They narrowed their eyes at each other, ignoring their mother’s voice before Myles sat down on the bed and Alex stomped away.
“Alex!”
“Mom, leave him.”
Alex headed to a nearby pub, all alone.
“So, how’s your band?” Emily asked with a smile.
“Well, we’re not touring for a while, although we’re going to be releasing our new album soon. And we’re going for interviews—”
“Oh, that’s so cool!” She interrupted. “We’re doing tons of new band interviews too. The magazine just launched a new section just for interviews. You should totally see them.”
“Uh, I think I’ll see if they have any people I know.”
“Of course they will! They have both indie bands and famous ones. You’ll be on them if you like, although they can be a bit elitist at times.” She sighed. “Still, really cool, right? I’m really happy I finally got this job. It’s my dream!”
Kevin was intimidated. Emily didn’t notice, but he tried to smile.
She kept on talking about the magazine and Kevin listened, although he couldn’t really have the heart to tell her about his intimidation. She was really happy, and he was happy for her too, but it was a bit too much for him.
“You’ve been quiet,” Emily said, her voice laced with worry. “Are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m fine.”
“You’re not saying much. Tell me about what’s happening to you, Kev.”
Kevin smiled and felt more comfortable.
“Yeah.”
The night went on like that. Occasionally, Emily would interject with something about her magazine but for the most part they were happy.
Sorry guys lets just wait until someone puts this thing up

One Year , Five Days (Chapter 30)
Alex collapsed on his bed and waited for the creaking to subside. He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.
“Yeah sure, you can slip into my worst day ever list.” he told his day. Dunno what Myles and Danielle’s up to, Kevin’s got himself a date, and here he was sleeping like a total loser. This was the exact moment when he felt like being born as Myles Trimble not Alex Trimble.
Meanwhile, Kevin also lay on his bed, giggling like a mentally retarded sloth. Maybe it was the alcohol, but probably it was because of…Emily. Kevin blushed, at even thinking of her name. It was like a magical word that would wind him up like mad ( in a good way.) He was planning to get up 5 hours earlier than usual- at
9 am, and calling Emily out somewhere nice. ‘Oh man, this is going to be hard. I’ve never woken up so early in my life.’ He thought to himself.
He set his alarm clock to 9:01 am- blame his huge fingers for the extra one minutes. So two best friends were placed at different poles. Kevin would absolutely be in the North, and poor crying Alex in the south. Danielle…we’re not so sure yet. Myles held Dannielle’s hand tightly and stared at the ceiling. The both of them lay on the neatly tidied bed after their dinner.
“I have to say, you’re an amazing cook…AND a girlfriend.” Myles winked flirtily. Danielle blushed and kissed her boyfriend, on the forehead. She was deep in thoughts. Almost drowning. Unable to find a way to the surface. Finally she twitched and rolled over closer to Myles.
“Myles, y’know when you said my problems are your problems too?”
“Uh huh.”
“Did you really mean it?”
“Of course.” Danielle took a deep breathe and shuffled in even more closer to Myles.
“Myles, I don’t want you to get mad or anything or even emotional when I tell you this. Ok?” Danielle whispered.
“Are-Are we breaking up?” Myles questioned with a scared voice.
“NO! Why would we? Anyways, just listen. For a very short time, I thought I had some feelings for Alex…only for a short time, but I-I. I made a mistake that would…that Alex misunderstood. He thinks I like him because of that and I think he’s in a depression because of what happened. I didn’t intend to hurt him or anything but…you need to help him…Myles. And if I hear anything about you and Alex fighting, I’ll have no choice but to end our relationship here for our own good. Promise?” Danielle pleaded. Myles hesitated but after a while he nodded.
“Pinky Swear.” He reassured her showing his pinky.
“So what was the uh- mistake you did?” he questioned.
Danielle shook her head and then changed her mind.
” A kiss.” she replied guiltily.
Myles’ eyes snapped open and she could see his vein’s straining. ”Sorry Myles…for betraying you but you know that you’ll be my only love…I love you.” This seemed to do the trick. Danielle felt Myles’ warm hand collided with hers and his left arm cross over to her shoulder.
“I perfectly understand, Danielle.” came Myles’ deep, calm and reassuring voice within the dark room. “I really do. And I love you too.”
“HELL YES!” Shrieked Kevin. He jumped around his room and played random riffs with his bass-on maximum volume. Kevin’s annoyed mum came barging through the door with an unhappy look on her face and coughed.
“WHAT’S ALL THIS RACKETY ROCK GOING ON HERE?- and why are you awake so early Kevin? Nick and Paddy’s still sleeping. Are you off to somewhere today?” she bombarded him with millions of questions until she eventually got his answer.
“Oh no its nothing. Just…I need to buy a few gadgets for erm…the bass.” Kevin lied.
“Going on a date?” his mum asked him cheekily.
“WHAT? NO! IM GOING OUT TO BUY SOMETHING! IF SAM’S MY DATE THEN…maybe yes.” he lied again.
“O’er here Kevin!” Emily beckoned him into the cafe. He walk past other couples and sat next to his date.
“I didn’t expect you to say yes to such an early date.” Kevin muttered shyly. Emily giggled and the motion made her maroon-brown hair fall back and dangle on her shoulder.
“I couldn’t sleep a wink last night.” Kevin admitted.
“Oh don’t start getting flirty. I might puke.” Emily joked.
“How’s the job?” Kevin asked.
“what job?”
“I remember you were working in as an editor for ‘Rolling Stone.’ magazine.” Kevin recalled.
“Yep, just up till this January. Then I was going to be promoted but I got a perfect place in a different magazine. You’re not going to believe me when I say the word. You ready?” Kevin chuckled at her adorableness and nodded enthusiastically.
“NME!! N-M-E fucking MAGAZINE!!!” she squealed. Kevin sat there in shock. She was an editor for his favourite magazine!
“Aww…Brilliant” was all he could make out.

One Year , Five Days (Chapter 29)
Awkward. That was what breakfast was like. Awkward. No difference with dinner at all. Everyone was quiet and everyone just looked at their meals. A few times, Mr. and Mrs. Trimble would speak up but eventually they stopped. It just made things more awkward.

One Year , Five Days (Chapter 28)
“Ah, finally, you guys are here. Took you guys long enough.” Alex said, a cup already on his hands and already, two empty ones on the table. “Yeah, sorry for being a bit late. The bus was pretty slow.” Sam said. Alex raised a brow and said, “Bus? Where did you guys go?” Kevin’s eyes grew big and suddenly spoke up before Sam could. “Uh, we just went to meet up with someone.” He hoped Alex wouldn’t ask more and gave Sam a look. “Oh, well alright then. I already got the two of you drinks. They’ll be on the way.” Alex replied to them. “Thanks.” Sam and Kev said in sync.
“So, what happened, Alex?” Kevin said. Alex made a huge sigh and lit a cigarette. “I just want all this to end really,” He inhaled, then exhaled, breathing out a huge puff of smoke. Kevin and Sam gave him a look telling him to continue on. “She told me she only loved me as a friend and now everything’s just so awkward with her. Like a while ago, they went to have dinner at my house and I just wanted to die, dear god.” He inhaled and exhaled another time, the puff of smoke a bit bigger than the first. Sam and Kevin decided to stay quiet and nod. They didn’t know what would happen if they said something. Would Alex get mad and they’d end up fighting again or would Alex just stay quiet and become a sad drunk for tonight? Alex seemed so calm outside but the three of them knew he just wanted to explode so much so for the whole night they chose their words carefully and tried to lighten up Alex’s mood.
She sighed, thinking about what happened to them and Alex. She looked next to Myles who was sleeping next to her. (He had asked her if she could stay for night, he deeply missed her, and she said yes.) She thought to herself if she should tell him about her problem with Alex, but she thought better. ‘The two might get into a big fight.’ She said in her mind.
“Aren’t you sleepy Danielle?” Myles said, startling Danielle a bit. “O-oh, I was about to sleep, I was just thinking about something.” Danielle said.
“Oh, is something troubling you?”
“No no, it’s all just work really…”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah, I am.”
“You know you can tell me Danielle. I mean, maybe I can help you with your problem.”
“Don’t worry Myles, I don’t have any problems. I was just thinking about work that’s all.”
“Well if you say so, but if you do have any problems, just tell me. Your problems are my problems too.”
“Hm… thanks.”
“No problem. So, how were the alps?”
“Oh they were pretty fun. Took a lot of photos too.”
“Well maybe you can show them to me some time then.”
“Sure, I will. Well uh, I’m feeling kind of sleepy now so good night Myles.”
“Good Night Danielle. I love you.”
“Hm, I love you too.”
They both closed their eyes and went to sleep, Myles tightly hugging Danielle in their sleep.
“Alex, can you wake up your bother and Danielle for breakfast? They’re in Myle’s room” Mrs. Trimble said as she was cooking breakfast. Alex’s eyes grew big and he lifted his head from his egg and bacon. “Danielle’s here?” He asked. “Yep. Danielle stayed for the night.” His dad replied to him. “Uh okay. I’ll go wake them up.” His mom thanked him and he went upstairs to Myles’ room, stopping at its door. He knocked.
No answer.
He knocked several times again.
Again, no answer.
“Did they do ‘it’ or something?” he muttered to himself. He knocked again but this time he spoke up. “Hey Myles’,” He tried to say Danielle’s name too but he couldn’t, so he continued. “Uh breakfast’s on the table now, so wake up or whatever.” He then left and as he was in the middle of the stairs he heard someone close a door and then two footsteps on their way to the stairs. He then continued his way down, a bit faster, trying to shake of the thought of the girl who was with his brother.
1 year 5 days : Chapter 27
Myles and Danielle walked up to his room together and Alex watched them holding hands. He sighed and trudged to his room and dialled for Kevin.
“I’m busy, what is it?” he answered.
“Why?”
“I’ll call you back in a sec.” Kevin hung up and stood there smiling at Emily.
“Uh-KEVIN? Is it really YOU?” she screamed in joy. Kevin couldn’t help but grin stupidly at his crush. She ushered the two of them into her house and brought around three cups of camomile tea.
“Here, have a sip. I just boiled them this morning.” she informed.
“Uh-rite this here, is Sam Halliday. My best friend and band member. Sam, this is Emily. My uh-friend.” Kevin introduced the two of them and leaned back as Sam and Emily exchanged handshakes. Emily’s house was extremely neat and cozy. Wood laminated walls surrounded the house, with the scent of forests coming from the books, alphabetically laid in the shelf. Comfortable bean bag seats around the coffee table.
“Why didn’t you tell me you’d moved to Ireland?” Kevin interrogated.
“Kevin, are you mad at me because of that? Haha…I called you several times but you didn’t pick up. Figured you’d be half a million miles away touring.” she replied. Kevin nodded at the reasonable answer and thought of another one.
“How are things with you and Ryan?”
“…we broke up ages ago…”
“Oh right, I’m sorry”
“No it’s fine. Its time I forgot about him. I tried dating other guys but…after a few weeks I’d be thinking of him again…” she let out a sigh and smiled at Kevin. Kevin sat there for a few long moments, rearranging what he had just heard. This meant she was single! There was a chance!
” H-hey, do you want to try it out with me too?” he finally spoke.
“What do you mean?” she questioned in shock.
” like you said, do you want to just-go out on a few dates and see if you think of him again…”Kevin mumbled shyly, cheeks turning red. Sam sat there petrified at Kevin. He had never imagined Kevin asking her out now…especially when he was with them. Emily looked flabbergasted for a few minutes until she cleared her throat and excused the two of them into a room.
” What were you thinking Kevin?” she whispered as the door closed behind them. “Dating isn’t a joke for me. I don’t need your pity.”
“It’s not a joke for me either! I really do want to…” Kevin argued.
“I don’t pity you…I love you. That’s all.” he announced as he stared at Emily’s magical turquoise eyes. She froze in shock.
“Oh. You…do?” she whispered.
Kevin nodded enthusiastically and held her hands.
” Kevin I need some time to think. I’ll call you back…”
Alex swore and inserted a CD into his player and pressed the play button.
“I FEEL SO EXTRAORDINARY, SOMETHING’S GOT A HOLD ON ME. I GET THIS FEELING IM IN MOTION, A SUDDEN SENSE OF LIBERTY-” the player boomed in maximum volume (he did this to annoy the couple upstairs) and soon enough, Myles came bashing in through the door.
“SHUT UP!”he yelled as he unplugged the CD player.
“What the fuck are you doing?” Alex screams back.
“GUYS!” Danielle stood there looking frustrated at the both Of them. Alex drooped his head and shooed them out of his room gloomily. After a few minutes, his phone began to ring.
“Hullo-”
“Alex, Kevin here.”
“oh. Let’s meet at the usual pub. I’m dying here.”
“Alright.”Kevin hung up and high fived Sam. They got onto a bus and made themselves comfortable in the back seat.
“let’s keep all this a secret to Alex…until she actually says yes.” Kevin suggested.
“I agree. He’d feel left out if we tell him you might be going out with someone.” Sam added. The bus picked up some speed and roared, off to Donghadee, where Alex was probably waiting for them in the Ocean pub-probably.
1 year 5 days : Chapter 26
“You know, I pity you, man.” Sam said. He patted him on the shoulder.
Kevin mumbled something inaudible.
“All right, then. Let’s find her.” Sam said. He stood up.
They left.
They entered the apartment building without hesitation. At the concierge, Sam tried his best to be as charismatic as possible.
“Hey,” he said with a smile. The woman at the desk smiled at him shyly. She was writing something in a book. Kevin was quiet, and she closed the book with a welcoming nod.
“Is there something you need?”
“Yeah,” Sam replied. He leaned against the table. “Where does Emily err..Scott live?”
“Visitors, then?” the woman asked. She opened the book and traced names with her finger. She stopped and tapped the paper with her finger twice. “8th floor, room 221. Buzzer is on the right, not the left.”
“Thanks.” Sam said. They left the woman and proceeded to the elevator. The wait felt long and it was quiet, but they ended up right in front of door 88. Kevin cleared his throat and readied his finger against the buzzer.
“We’re out of milk! Your turn to buy.” A man’s voice rang out. Kevin and Sam looked at each other but there was silence.
Kevin rang the doorbell. There was the sound of a chain unclasping and the door opened to reveal a girl wearing a shirt that read something like “don’t blink”.
“Yeah?” she asked. Sam cleared his throat and placed a hand on Kevin’s shoulder. Kevin looked at him before Sam grabbed him by the collar and pushed him right in front of the door. Emily looked at him with confusion.
“Um, hi.” Kevin said shyly. He tried to smile.
Alex sat on his bed, his face buried in his hands.
“Alex,” there was a knock on the door and his mom called out. “Alex, dinner’s ready.”
“I’m not hungry, mom. Maybe later.” Alex replied. He sighed and tried not to sound like he was crying. There was an audible sigh before his mother retreated back to the kitchen.
“Danielle’s just a girl, man.” He mumbled to himself, running a hand through his hair. “She’s not good enough for you. She’s just a girl. She shouldn’t be with you, it’s no big deal.”
He sighed and kept quiet, trying to calm himself down. There was the sound of the front door closing. Voices rang out; he recognized Myles and Danielle. There was the clinking of plates and silverware.
“Myles, Danielle, how are you two?” his dad asked. They responded with something, but he wasn’t really listening. He could only understand their chatter (polite chatter, normal things to talk about) and shook his head.
“No, no. Danielle is good for me. I like her. Maybe I love her. What was I thinking? She’s too good for me!”
There was a bit of more idle silence. Danielle asked out loud, “Hey, is Alex there?”
“Oh, shit. Shit.” Alex muttered. He stood up and tried his hardest to wipe his tears away. He straightened his shirt and wiped his eyes again. There was the sound of people answering. He heard his mother say he was upstairs.
“Get yourself together, Alex.”
He opened his door and went downstairs. Myles, Danielle and his parents looked up at him.
“…Hey.” He said with a wave.
Danielle stared at him wordlessly. His mother was bustling about but he wasn’t really looking at anyone else. There was an awkward silence between the two of them.
“Danielle—“ Alex said. He stopped and shook his head. “I—“
“Alex, you know that you can sit down, now, right?” Myles asked, interrupting him.
“Oh, right.” Alex replied, almost dazed. He shuffled his feet as he sat next to his mother. Danielle took her seat across him.
They settled down. Dinner was mostly quiet, until Alex’s dad decided that they should start having conversations. He started.
“You guys had been to the alps, right?”
He was met with awkward silence. Danielle looked uncomfortable, and honestly Alex felt it too.
“Um, okay.” Alex’s mother laughed and spun her fork. “So, Danielle, I’m sure you’ve met Alex. Are you two good friends?”
It was met with more awkward silence. Danielle tried to speak up, but she ended up stuttering.
“Um – yeah. Yeah, we are, Mrs Trimble.”
Myles looked at Danielle, but she refused to meet his eye. He looked at Alex and knitted his brows together, as if to say “what the fuck is going on here?”
The whole night continued on like that. With every word coming out of someone’s mouth, things only grew more and more awkward. When it finally finished Alex was incredibly glad. Things could only go downhill.
“Oh, thank god that was over.” Alex muttered. But it wasn’t just him; everyone thought the same way, too.
