Ali " Can you promise me, you won’t make a mess? And don’t lie to me Ali, I know you’re having a party, I was the first to do it at your age, but please don’t let anyone into the office and into our room, especially the office. Tell your brother to lock the door," Dad said on the other side of the phone. I turned my eyes and looked for Axel "Yes, Dad, as soon as I find him I tell him to go close the office but I’m sure he has already done it, you know how psychopathic he is," I said with a sigh. "Alison don’t call your brother a psychopath," I heard he saying. "Okay okay, he’s not a psychopath, he’s just a control freak," I said, snorting. "When I get back I want the house polished, Alison, I don’t care what magic you invent, but if I find a pin out of place, we’ll do the math," Mom said this time. "Okay okay, you know I’m an angel. Have fun and say hello to Adam. Bye!" I said by hanging up the phone to keep them from continuing. Mom and Dad had left to visit Adam in Canada whe

Megan I was in the driveway of the Dare’s cottage, Lucy and Andy had stopped me, asking me how the trip to Europe had gone, I tried to unblock them soon, they were not my goal. I turned to the door and I froze. In front of the door were Axel and Emma hugging each other. I shouldn’t have been jealous, right? He’s her cousin, she’s my best friend. There was nothing to worry about, but something about that hug made me feel weird in my chest. I shook my head and looked at them. Axel and Emma broke off and began to talk calmly, Axel’s eyes glowing. I shook my hands, and when I couldn’t, I rushed into the house. "Axel!" I shouted as I entered like a fury, I moved Emma by force, so as to get her away from him and I rushed into Axel’s arms. Axel immediately grabbed me and pushed me against him, hugging me as he hadn’t ever done. I felt my heart galloping in my chest as I surrounded his neck with my arms and savored his perfume, leaving me intoxicated by those sensations that only he had b

AxelI watched as Liam took off his clothes and let them fall to the ground with a thud, creating a pool of water. The bathroom was a mess, just like the house was, Mom was gonna kill me, and the thought of going downstairs and finding all that mess, made me shiver all over my body, I wouldn’t be able to sleep peacefully that night knowing that there was all that mess just a few steps away from me.I sighed and I crossed my arms to my chest as Liam tied a towel around his waist and another one wrapped it around his hair. Liam still had red eyes and dilated pupils. If there was one thing that I hated, it was hard drugs, I didn’t care if he did a few joints every now and then, but hard drugs were another story, they disintegrated you from the inside, and they weren’t the right solution to any problems."Why?" I asked as Liam stood with one hand at the sink while the other held the towel in his hair."There’s no specific reason, I didn’t think. Stop," Liam replied with a hoarse voice."

Emma"Do you realize the gravity of your actions?!" I heard Mom yell, "I don’t care that you’re 22. Liam!" my mother continued, and then I heard the sound of a door slamming violently.I sighed and looked at the ceiling as Lola, the house cat, got on my bed and snuggled up next to me. She, too, couldn’t stand the screams that had been made within ten minutes. My brother had come home early in the afternoon. The clear look, the neat look, despite the fact that she had huge dark circles under his eyes, and his face wasn’t the best. Mom was already pissed because Dad told her that he came to pick me up while Liam was staying at Axel’s, needless to say, Mom had become a rage and did not accept certain behaviors from Liam, According to her logic, my brother should have remained alert and sober because I was there, according to Dad did not matter and did nothing if Liam wanted to have fun, I would always be safe, and, if there was no Dad, I would have just stayed at the home of uncles.And

AxelI parked in front of Megan’s apartment building and turned off the engine. I texted Megan to warn her that I was outside her house and didn’t wait for her answer. I went into the chat with Emma and checked. What I didn’t know.My message remained as not displayed, or rather, ignored, since Emma was online until an hour ago.I wanted to tell her how the conversation with Liam went, which was bad, and I just wanted to talk to her, like we used to, ever since we were kids. But she had decided to ignore me completely, she had not even visualized it. I frowned and I’ll decide whether to send her another message or let her answer me when she could. Maybe she was online just to answer her father, but she was actually busy, maybe she was fixing her things after the return, after all, she had only come back yesterday and I was sure that she still had to fix everything. Emma was the queen of chaos, and al
