Hey, everybody. Ellis here.

I just got done with this chapter and it's about 9 pages long, so enjoy that cause It's the longest chapter I've ever wrote! Second, I now have a boyfriend and we've been together for almost 4 months. I'm Very happy with that cause my past relationships only lasted a month in comparison... yeah, that is sad...

so, anywho. Enjoy!

Today's warning will be inappropriate behavior and topics as well as, dark sides, heart break, two miserable lives, and a very sad virgin...

Bassy's POV:

After yet another fiasco, I put the cookies in the oven and set the timer. Honestly, this day can not get any worse than it already is. I had, originally, invited Alex over to finish the project and hang out, but obviously, father had to ruin my normalcy plans. It's been like this since I told him that i have no interest in taking over the family legacy!

I sighed. As much as I would like to forget, I doubt that someone like me can forget everything they've been taught about being what I am. No, what I was. I will never go back to being that monstrosity! Never again... I noticed my hand was starting to shake as I was about to take another sip. I sighed again, hating that I still had to go through this again. But, at least it wasn't happening as often now. That I was actually grateful for. I set the mug down and began rummaging around in the medicine cabinet till I found what I was looking for. I grabbed one of the patches to replace the one I have on my shoulder, moving quickly in case Alex comes back. Don't get my wrong. She's a good friend and all, but there are certain things that she doesn't need to know yet, especially the patches. I've come this far with her and I don't want to ruin it just because of something I used to do in the past.

"Bassy!"

My eyes widened as I smoothed out the patch. Alex! I quickly put the box back and rolled the sleeve back down. Alex was already entering the kitchen when I turn to face her, mug in hand.

"Yes?" I asked, taking a sip.

She stopped and looked at me for a minute, but then shrugged as though she imagined it.

"Cookies ready?" She asked.

"Nope. Just put them in the oven."

"Ok..."

We sat there in silence for a good moment. Well this is awkward... I thought about what to do to help us past the time at this point. After all, Claire can pretty much entertain herself for awhile.

"Hey, is it alright if I ask you something?" Alex asked, fidgeting a little.

"Sure. What is it?"

"Um, what size shoe do you wear?"

Ok... I did not expect that...

"Fourteen and a half... Why do you ask?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Nothing! Nothing at all! Curious is all!" she said, quickly.

Despite what she said, she glance down at my feet as her face turned bright red. Sure, nothing, my arse! I heard her muttering something about big feet and made a mental note to ask the twins about that later since I have no knowledge about American sayings as well as most slang. After that, I set my empty cup down.

"So, what would you like to do?" I asked.

She thought for a moment before saying, "How about an icebreaker game?"

"Icebreaker?"

"Yeah. Since we never really got to actually know much about each other, I thought it would be nice."

I shrugged, "Sure. I don't mind."

We went into the living room and discussed the rules. Each of us will ask twenty questions each and agreed that there will be no restrictions to what we could ask. If we don't want to answer cause of personal reasons, then we say 'skip' and agree to talk about it when we're ready. And furthermore, we answer all questions truthfully.

"Alright, let's start with something simple first. Sound good?" Alex asked, happily.

I smiled, "Sure."

"Ok, favorite color?"

"Black."

"Really? You don't look like the type to go for such a dark color."

"Looks can be deceiving." I said, smirking now.

"Meh. Your turn." she shrugged.

"What's your birthday?"

"My birthday?... July fourth."

"July fourth!? Isn't that American Independence day?"

Alex nodded.

"Well, that's something to look forward to."

"When's yours?"

"Mine? March thirteenth."

"Ah..."

"Let's see... Favorite type of food?"

"I like lots of food. But, mainly something sweet."

"I don't blame you."

"Middle name?"

"Maria."

"Excuse me?!" She said, flabbergasted.

"Maria. Sebastian Maria Blackthorne." I said with a straight face.

Her jaw dropped as her eyes widen the size of dinner plates. Her expression was almost enough to make me crack. but, of course, What did it was when she finally said, "I feel so sorry for you..."

I couldn't take anymore as I started laugh uncontrollably.

"YOU ASS!" She screeched, as she tackled me in the armchair as it fell backwards on the floor due to the force.

I put my arms over my face, trying to defend myself against Alex's punches while still laughing my ass off. It wasn't till I finally stopped laughing that I realized the position we're in. I was, currently, flat on my back with Alex straddling my hips, her jacket slid off her shoulder, revealing an AC/DC tank top. Meaningless to say, it was awkward and I'm really hoping that I'm not sporting a boner right now as the Twins called it. I find it weird to call an erection that, but then again, "erection" is more embarrassing to say in conversation than "boner" is, so it makes sense.

"Uh..." was my brilliant response.

We both blushed for a good minute before Alex, quickly, hopped off of me.

"Sorry..." She said, quietly.

"You're fine." I said as I sat up, "Shall we continue?"

"Yeah... But, seriously, what is your middle name?"

"Arthur. Now what's yours?"

"...Independence..."

"Really?"

She nodded, blushing like crazy.

"Well, it suits you. Plus, it's better than mine."

"Some will argue about that..."

"Yes, but yours is unique compared to mine."

She looked up at me and gave me a small smile.

"Okay, now let's get serious." Alex said, grinning very evilly now.

Oh, hell. I don't think I'll like this...

"First kiss?"

I paled. Just how the bloody hell do I tell her I'm a complete virgin when it comes to things like relationships?!

"...No one..." I said, My face already turning pink.

"Oh, please, don't be joking again, Bassy."

"I'm not kidding, Alex! I never been with anyone before, let alone kiss them! I was homeschooled most of my life anyway! Even when I did manage to get outside, the only person I've ever been with was my friend, Tom and he is horrible when it comes to picking up girls!"

I automatically slapped my hand over my mouth after that. Damn it! I should not have said that! I looked at Alex to see that her eyes were once again wide and was terribly shocked. Well, there goes my normalcy plan.

"Well, that's interesting. But, not uncommon."

I gave her a pointed look.

"Oh, don't give me that! It's not the end of the world! It just means when that special someone comes into your life, your first will be special."

"Oh..."

Ok, so it's not the end of the world, as Alex said. Well, at least that part of my life is off of my shoulders.

"So, what about yours?" I asked, out of curiosity.

She sighed, "You'll think it's stupid."

"I won't! I promise you that!"

She sighed again, "Fine... There was this cute boy back in my hometown, who I had a crush on in the fourth grade. At the time, however, I was too shy to confess that I like him so for awhile, I just watched him from afar. Then Valentine's day came along and he came up to me during recess and dragged me to the side of the school. He kissed me once we were there and at the time it made me happy..." She pause before continuing, "But, the next day, I went up to him with a cupcake I worked really hard to make and he pushed me down... Told me he only kissed me for a bet and kicked dirt into my face. I was really upset about it and the next thing I knew, there were teachers trying to pull me away from him and he ended up being hauled into an ambulance..."

That fucking little bastard! If I ever meet this guy, I will make him regret the day he did that! I mean, come on! Does everyone think that Alex is some sort of monster or something?! She's not as bad as people thinks she is. She's a nice person once you got to know her!

"Alex. He deserve it. I don't care what anyone else thinks, you deserve to be treated like a fucking princess and not like a piece of trash! And next time something like that happens, tell me and we'll have said fucker in the hospital FOR LIFE!" I said, letting some old demons out of the cage.

She looked at me, speechless. She opened her mouth a couple of times, but words failed to come out. By the time she spoke, she looked like she was going to cry.

"...Thanks, Bassy..."

I smiled, softly, "Need a hug?"

She nodded as she crawled into my arms.

"Hey. It's okay. I'm here for you, you know. If it was me, you would do the same right?" I asked, as the sniffles began.

She sniffed before nodding. She felt like a child in my arms with her being so small for her size. At least, compare to me she was. But, it felt like she was meant to be in my arms, like she was built for me and me alone and for once I didn't mind it. But at the same time, I don't want to jump the gun just yet and make a assumptions. I highly doubt there is a person who would love me for who I really am, but if there is, I would wait forever. I felt her slowly pull away and my arms suddenly felt cold and empty, but I ignored it and focused on her.

"Better?"

"Yeah..." she wiped her eyes and turned back into her normal self, "Next question. Would you consider dating a guy?"

"I haven't even dated a girl yet. So, I'm not sure..." I said, blushing a bit.

"Well, you never know. You could be gay and I would have never notice! Maybe, we can go to a gay bar and see if you're attracted to anyone." She suggested.

"Well, at least I know I'm straight!" I said, defending myself.

Alex smirked, "Uh-huh. Keep telling yourself that, Bassy. Your turn."

I thought for a moment before the conversation they just had made me curious of something.

"Are you gay or straight?"

"Both."

"I'm sorry?"

"I'm bisexual. My door swings both ways."

"How does that work?"

"Does it matter? I believe in a love that breaks boundaries regardless of gender. If I love someone, I go after their heart period."

For once, I actually admire Alex. She stands for the belief that love conquers all. Hell, she's not even embarrassed about her sexuality!

"That's very admiral of you."

She shrugged again, "Have you ever masturbated?"

"Beg your pardon?!"

"Have you ever jerked yourself off?"

Chirst, no!"

"Geeze, how deprived were you as a child?"

"You have no idea."

"That's just sad."

"Indeed."

"You know, that's my favorite word in the English language."

"Indeed? Really?"

"Yep."

"Interesting. But, you know you just asked two questions, right?"

"Eh, it was worth it."

I chuckled, "Whatever, it's my turn now."

But before I could ask the question, the phone started ringing. So, I got up and answered the one on the side table.

"Hello?" I answered.

"I have a job for you, boy." A deep british accent said on the other end.

My grip on the phone tightened as my good mood shattered. I put my hand over the receiver and turned to Alex.

"Hey, could you go check on the cookies?"

"Sure." she said, as she got up and headed for the kitchen.

I waited till she was pass the doorway before turning my attention back to the caller.

"What do you want, Father?"

So? was it good? Was I successful?

Please review cause they make me happy and happy writer= more chapters.

I am off to bed so, night everyone.
