went?” Alex
asked. Of course I wonder, where could they have gone? Alias
thought.
“No, I’m sure Christophe went out took look
for her, she must’ve gotten lost or something,” He said calmly,
trying to keep the concern from his voice.
“Yeah I guess that your right, I’m tired, I’m
going to go to bed,” Alex said getting up.
“Um alright, me too, good night Lex,” he
responded.
He walked up into his room looking out the
window. The sun was gone and it was dark. “Where the hell are
they!?” He was yelling. He didn’t like this. This feeling of
knowing the Amethyst was out there possibly by herself or the idea
of Christophe….It was too much. He pulled out his I-pod and started
the song “Dance Floor Anthem” By: Good Charlotte. “Everybody, throw
up your hands. Say I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in
love. Feel the beat now; don’t be afraid to get down say I don’t
wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love-“He sang along with the
music, falling asleep.
“You like Good Charlotte? Shocker,” A voice
chimed in, Amethyst. He looked up slowly at her,
“where were you?” He asked dazed.
“I was outside climbing trees and watching
the sunset. I forgot about dessert though,” She said smiling.
“It’s all good but where was Christophe at?”
He asked with a yawn. She giggled and then shrugged her shoulders
nonchalantly,
“Don’t know dude, didn’t even know he left,”
she said.
“But you laughed, why?” He asked sounding
slightly more awake.
“I’m being stupid, I can’t have a moment?”
She said.
“I uh guess so, later Amethyst,” he said
placing his head back on the pillow barely hearing her exit. Twenty
minutes later, Christophe walked upstairs and instantly got Alias’s
attention with a whisper so quiet his super sensitive ears barely
even heard it,
“I went to candy-fucking-mountain…and I
didn’t even lose a kidney”.
“Christophe…are you….fucking high?” Alias
said not fully opening his eyes of even sure if he was
conscious.
“What?” Christophe asked sounding very close
to laughter.
“I said, are you high. ‘Cause you just walked
in here talking about Candy Mountain,” Alias said slurred with his
face against the pillow.
“Uh yeah little bro, high as fuck,” he said
laughing. Alias opened his eyes to study his brother
expression.
“Nah you’re not, I just remembered, you’re
Straight-edge,” Alias responded.
“If you know that, then why ask?” Christophe
pointed out.
“Cause common sense and Candy Mountain don’t
cross paths,” he said staring at his brother.
“Okay, later,” he said quickly. Alias noticed
that Christophe had a little bit of glitter on his lips and
reluctantly remembered Amethyst’s Charlie the unicorn t-shirt. It
said “let’s go to Candy Mountain”.
“Fuck me sideways, you’re not fucking
serious!!!” He yelled into the pillows. It can’t be, she
wouldn’t I warned her and said that and…he isn’t going to win this
time…It can’t happen. He got up and walked into Amethyst’s
room. I just wanted to sleep, he thought.
“Have you not heard anything I’ve told
you?!” He said loudly as he pushed the door open.
“Have you not heard of knocking?
What’re you yelling about anyways, weren’t you sleep?” She said
looking up from her book while lying on her bed in boxers and a
tank top.
“Why is my older brother wearing your lip
gloss?!” He yelled.
She laughed,
“uh dude, I think that’s a loaded
question…maybe he’s playing dress up?” He stepped back a bit,
confused,
“why did he come home talking about him going
to Candy Mountain?” He asked.
“Fuck if I know, he could’ve been stoned or
daydreaming, why are you asking me shit about your brother, I’ll be
damned if you didn’t wake up Alex with you yelling,” she said
dismissively.
“What’s wrong with me is that he-shit…I’m
sorry…I-”. He closed the door and left. What’s wrong with me is
he has
