Never, Ever... ( Stella/ Storm/ Closed )

[Alexander]

"What is it...?" " If it's about that... I know he doesn't know yet..." Alex was well aware of the silence that this place gave him....It gave him actually peace of mind....Alex never minded being the quiet one however....When he had to speak about some thing he knew his friend Noctis would listen....The thing was seriously taunting Alex right now was that last time he had confronted Stella....Believing that she was the one that killed all those soldiers on that street that cold night.....

Alex leaned against the wall behind him....Noctis would see the trouble look....That his quiet friend was giving.....Alex took off his glasses and cleaned them with the eye glass cleaning cloth he had in his pocket.....Some areas of the house made Alex sweat as well....Because of the lack of air that was flowing in....through the air vents.....But Alex has made ways to deal with that.....

"I'm not to thrilled with this....As you possibly know that already....Noct...Are you sure you know what you're doing...?" He then asked that in hush tones so no one would hear him from inside the kitchen....."I guess what I'm saying is.....If you have her live here.....There's a possibility that I can no longer live here....Noct....She's the enemy....She always will be...I know you have some strange obligation to protect her but....Noct what if...? What if she is lying straight to your face.....? I don't want you to see you get hurt by that...."

~~~~~More of the Memory~~~~~~

Alex remained with his gun pointed at her face......"I will shoot!" "Then shoot me!! But know this...I am not lying....Our father is the one you need to hate more than any one....I was there the night he gave up on you.....He said...He couldn't deal with another child....He gave up on you Alex and sold you!! Why do you think you have no memory of your mother?!!" Alex scoffed at that note as he cocked his gun at her....
"I know of the condition you have! I'm the only one that can save you from doing some thing you don't wanna do!! You are not the one with all the answers!! You know nothing!! Alex.....Please....I am your sister rather you believe that or not...You know your destiny! Is not to protect....It's to destroy!" "SHUT UP!!! I'm not like that!! NO!! That.....That's not true...."

Stella then lowered her weapon on him.....And lowered her head to accept that Alex was not buying any of this at all....."Stella....If I find out you are telling the truth then....I'll believe you....Until then....You better get out of here....Or you're gonna get hurt!!" Stella still remained in her spot though......"Alex....What do you think will happen when Noctis finds out you are the true enemy of his.....? And its's not me....." With that Alex just gasped as he lowered his gun then.....And got in the car and backed out and drove off......Leaving Stella stranded....And alone.....
~~~~~END OF MEMORY~~~~

Storm Zarxen

Storm sat down in the chair and just sat there staring down at the fluffy piece of cake that was on his plate. It looked so temping…and yet he didn’t have that big of an appetite again. He shrugged and picked up his fork, hacking away a piece and sticking it in his mouth. He lightened up a bit inside as soon as the fluffy substance filled his mouth with a sweet taste. He munched away at the cake, trying not to think to much. His brain might explode if he continued having a gazillion thoughts floating around.

He looked up when Noct spoke and saw the look on his face. It was almost asking if he would be alright. He lifted his shoulders in a little shrug before swallowing the cake that was in his mouth. He gave a quirky little smile, before chuckling a bit at what Noct said as he brushed past him. Would she actually pour water on his head?! now he gave her a weary look, before munching on another bite of cake. Next thing you knew Noct would probably tell her that she had his permission to tease Storm…

He watched Noct and Alex as they walked out of the room. He gave them a last little look, which they probably wouldn’t catch. It was one of pure horror and grief that he was now actually alone…with a woman he had thought was the enemy…her father trying to harm Noct every time he could. Who had herself fought Noct many times, and might be behind a plot to steal the crystal. This is not my day…I shoulda just stayed out in my firing range… Looking back around, his gaze caught Stella. He had caught both that last look from Noct as well as her forlorn look on her face. He knew she was feeling something odd, and if he was her he would probably be terrified. He should be trying to comfort her…but what the heck should he do?! Men, Guns, Fighting…he had utter confidence with himself in those areas…Emotional woman…now that was a completely different story! Who wanted to deal with that…? No one, that’s who.

Before, Noct had been there, and somehow, the room had been less awkward. Now though…the only person was the petite Miss Flueret, looking so quiet, shy and distressed. Neither of them said anything, God! I wish they would come back! He felt red creeping up his neck, just from the tension in the air. He also noticed that she seemed to be deep in thought, her face still wound up with distress. His eyes slanted toward the table, and his right hand reached down, closing around the shotgun and pulling it into his lap. It now laid across the arms of the chair, and it was a little piece of comfort to him. He wrapped his left hand around the stock and took another bite of cake with his right. Ahh…now if only the tension would disappear…

She didn’t seem to even know where she was, her eyes were somewhat glazed as she stared off into space. He cleared his throat, running a hand through his hair, as he always did when he was feeling tension or was embarrassed. He wished he was with Noct and Alex…anywhere but here! “So…er…hows the food?” their cook was the best…but he wanted to kick himself. There she was, looking distressed and sighing, and he asked her about her food…what an idiot of himself. His hand tightened around the gun, trying without success to smile. “Um…I mean…are…are you……….alright…?”
