We are still in bed. The sun peeking through the curtains. Rexford's arm is under my head and the other one around me.I had no more nightmares this night. Could it be because I felt protected by him? He held me like this the whole night and I loved it. He's not not the type to comfort people. But last night it really felt like he was worried for me.Rexford starts to wake up when I move a little. I get out of bed. "Good morning" I say with a smile on my face. "God you killed my arm" he mumbles, his eyes not open yet. "It's not my fault you put it there" I say back. I suddenly remembered. We kissed last night. Was that just a dream because it felt like it? I don't get to ask much when Rexford stands up and gets ready for breakfast.***I take a bite out of my sandwich not knowing what to say. Rexford hasn't talked much either. I swallow. "So...about last night" I say as he immediately starts smiling. "What about it?" He says like he doesn't know we just had our first kiss. Well the on

*REXFORD'S POV*The ambulances have arrived. They take each body and put them in the cars. Lucy is still crying in the living room. She's on the floor not able to get up. How the fuck could I let this happen. I should've been there protecting her family. Fuck.I don't want to cry. I don't do that. But seeing Lucy so broken hurts my heart. I move over to her as I get low to where she is crying.I don't know what to do. When my mother died I had no one holding me, how do you comfort someone so broken. Whatever I say, it won't make her happy. So how will I fix her now?I reach for her back rubbing it because that's what others do. I've seen it in movies. I want her to know that she has me. She isn't alone. But how will she believe that when she saw her family dead on the couch. She grabs my shirt and pulls her face towards my chest. Crying so, so freaking much."I...I need to know they are fine" she lets out sobbing. God how do I tell her that they are not fine. I think she knows that but

Alex has a hard time walking as normal. He follows me as I lead him to the car outside the hospital. Rexford is in the car waiting for us. I step inside the car. I sit in the backseat with Alex. Rexford looks once in the mirror to look at my brother in the back. And something in his eyes changes. Relief.He's so relieved Alex is alive. Even if he hasn't admitted it."Thank you for picking us up," Alex says. "I did it for Lucy"Rexford answers with a straight face. What the hell. Why would he be rude right now? I mean I know how he is to other people. And how he was to me in the beginning but like he's my brother. "Rexford" I say hitting his arm from behind.Alex then turns to me "I told you he's a fucking bitch with anger issues" Alex says. "What the fuck did you just say..." I cut Rexford off before this escalated. "Both of you stop it! Can you just get along for an hour" I say annoyed at both. I just wish they gave each other a chance.Alex sighs annoyed. When we arrive Rexford walks

People are everywhere. It's not like a teenage party more like a rich people party I would say. I sit beside Rexford on this big couch. He talks to a man called Marco. He has a own company apparently and Rexford does some business talking with him. "I'm going to get us something to drink" I say to Rexford then standing up. I get us two glass of wine when I realize men are looking. Boys my age. Ugh not today please.One of them comes up to me. "Looking hot today" he says giving me a wink. I show the boy my ring. "I'm married so back of" I say. He does thankfully. On my way back I see some girls has gotten close with Rexford. A girl sits where I was seated before. She laughs like a fucking pick me at everything Rexford says. He isn't even talking to her. He's talking with boys his age one of them being Chris. Thank you for one familiar face. It's dark in here but I can totally see that she is trying to push her boobs up his eyes. I walk over to where Rexford sits and sit on his lap. "He

We've bought a lot of snacks for tonight. Alex got us some alcohol. A lot actually. Alice is setting the mood by lighting some candles since it's dark outside.The doorbell rings and I run to open it.What the hell.There are a lot more people here than there should be. I did not invite this many people. I try to be polite and sweet to everyone. "Welcome" I say then close the door as almost 40 people are in the house.I get up to Alice and Alex. "Guys what the fuck" I say crossing my arms."I told you it had to be a small party" I say mad at them both because now I will look like a liar to Rexford. "I'm sorry Lucy but I couldn't say no"Alice says embarrassed of herself. "It's fine just to tell Rexford it was our fault," Alex says.Should I call him? That would only make him more worried. And I don't want him to worry when he has more important things to do. I decide to tell him after the party. God I feel so shitty.Music is so loud and people have already started dancing and drinkin
