"What's that?" she asked, tilting her head slightly.
"What's that?" she asked, tilting her head slightly.
"I listen to a song and paint a scene based off of said song"
"That's pretty awesome, I'd love to see some one day." Stop smiling Leonie, you're probably freaking him out.
"Definitely!" *She wouldn't after how you acted today.
"Why did you start painting music scenes?" He probably doesn't want to talk about this, why are you still asking questions? Just shush already Leonie, you're making it awkward!
"It's a calming thing I do." Oh shush Alex
"Like something to ease your mind when you're stressed or something?" What a stupid question, what else would it be? She averted her gaze from Alex, hoping she wasn't coming across as too energetic or lively.
"You could say that." He smiles at her.
"I think it's pretty cool.." she paused for a moment, taking a deep breath, looking around. "Where are we actually walking to?"
"I have no clue."
"Leonie?" a voice came from near them. She turned to see a tall blond boy that she vaguely recognised. She visibly shuddered upon seeing him but smiled politely, hiding her shaking hands behind her back. "Steven? I thought you left town."
"My parents wanted to come and visit some of their friends." he smiled, tucking his hangs into his jacket pockets. "Glad to see you haven't changed a bit, still as pretty as ever."
Leonie saw Steven glance at Alex out of the corner of his eye as he said those words. He's so close to signing his death warrant..if only I could actually do something against him.
Alex sighs. "I should go. Give you guys space…"
Leonie quickly grabbed Alexander's hand.
Wait a second, Steven doesn't understand sign language..
Leonie looked Alex directly in the eyes while she signed. 'This guy is a monster, please don't leave me alone with him.'
He signed back 'What happened?'
'He used to terrorise me at school, always making fun of me for changing in the girl's locker room, always commenting on the fact I have a masculine body.. It's a long story.'
"Is this your new boyfriend, Lonie?" Steven cleared his throat, looking at Alexander up and down.
Her face burned bright red. "Why is it any of your business, what would you do if I said yes?"
"I'd tell the poor fool he doesn't know what he's in for, unless he knows about your little 'body predicament'?"
'Kill me…' she didn't realise she was signing again until Steven glared skeptically at her hands.
"I'll have you know I have a 'Body Predicament.' And it doesn't concern you if she does or not." He growls walking up to the guy. "I'm biologically a girl. Does that make you feel weird?"
Steven looked taken aback for a split moment before smirking, staring down at Alexander.
"You've got guts kid, I'll give you that." He chuckled grimly, glancing between Alex and Leonie. "You two freakazoids are perfect for each other, 'he' has your protectiveness Lonie." he started walking away from them, waving over his shoulder. "See you around Lonie, you pretty princess you~"
AAAAArgh why did HE have to show up? It could have been anyone else, but NO! It had to be freaking STEVEN BLAKE! Okay I need to calm down, I can feel myself tearing up.
She turned to Alex with a half smile. "Are you alright?"
He clenched his fist. He started crying. Why…First my dad now this…Am I supposed to be amy (the most wonderful woman in the world)…?
He nods slightly not looking at her.
Is he…. Crying? Oh dear god no, why is he crying??
She hesitantly reached out towards Alex, pulling him into her embrace, hugging him as tight as she could while standing on her tiptoes. "I'm sorry.."
"…" He hugs back tears falling.
"I think you're very brave Alex.." she whispered, leaning her head on his shoulder. Now isn't the time for sentiments!!!
"Am I even Alex…Am I even Alexander…"
She frowned. Of course he's Alex.. but how do I reassure him of that??
"Alexander.." she took a deep breath. "You are not your given name, you are not the gender you were born with, you are not what your body currently looks like. You are the scenes you paint, you are the words you speak, and the blush you try to hide. You're the mountain of awkwardness, you are the contagious laughter, and the person who you feel in your heart. You are the things that you believe in, and the people that you love. You're the veteran of your past, and the future you dream of. You are made of so much beauty and strength, which you apparently have forgot, because other people, like your father, have decided that you are defined by what you are not."
I really hope that made sense to him because I am not good with words…..
"You sure…I feel like life wants amy (the most wonderful woman in the world)…"
"It doesn't matter what life wants, what matters is what you want. I know your mum feels the same." she hugged him tighter, giving him all the love and comfort she could in that moment.
