High School: Way to Forever

Chapter 46: A MidNight Walk.

"Sure, Let me wear my jacket."

Alex was wearing a white t-shirt, on above now he wore a black leather jacket.

"Lets go."

Anna nodded.

They both were quite. Moonlight was falling on them. Anna, being blessed with good height, was even now looking small infront of Alex. He was 6 feet and 2 inch.

"Alex.." Anna broke the silence.

"Hmm?"

"How many members are there in your family?" Anna suddenly brought a family question which was a little shocking to Alex.

"Why do you want to know?" Alex reverted with another question. He wasn't afraid to tell him about his identity but he wanted a little more time to disclose it.

"Just like that." But Alex caught her lie. He was looking at Anna if seeing through her soul.

"Okay, I met someone from my family today. And some thoughts were revolving in my mind about a normal family so I asked. Now tell me."

'If you want to know about a normal family, you are asking from wrong person.' this was the thought that came in Alex's mind after hearing her reason.

"I have total 8 family members, though I have extended family too but right now I'm telling you about main members of my family." Alex somewhere too wanted to share things with her. He can't tell her the full truth, but for know, half is also fine.

"8 family members?!? You have quite good family." said Anna.

"You already know Scott and I. There are my parents, one more brother and my grandparents."

"Nice. Wait!! You and Scott also have another brother??"

Alex, nervously answered, "Y-Yeah."

"Cool. Younger or elder."

"Y-Younger you can say. He is middle child."

"Aww, I wanna meet him once." Said Anna. After meeting Scott, she had thought that another brother will also be cute like him.

But hearing this, Alex gulped in fear. "No, You can't meet him ever."

Anna narrowed her eyes. It was not like she was asking him to give her his brother.

Seeing Anna like this, he sighed. He knew he over reacted.

"Its like, he has some problems. He doesn't meet anyone. That's is why, he lives with my grandparents." Alex explained.

"So where are your parents and grandparents?"

"They live somewhere else. Here, only me and Scott."

"I understand." Said Anna

She was happy that he has a normal life.

"Who are in your family?" Hearing Alex's voice, she came into her senses.

"M-My F-Family is little complicated."

"I'm hearing. Tell me." Alex said.

"My brother died few years back, my parents are seperated and my father is having a mistress living with him. My grandparents are together and my maternal grandma died at an early age leaving my grandpa alone. He never married anyone."

"Your grandpa never married so how your mother came?"

"My mother and uncle are... i-ilegitimate children. They never took their father's back name. My grandpa never married anyone in this lifetime. " Anna nervously said. She was unsure, will Alex judge her mother and her?

"You sure have a complicated family. But it seems it doesn't affect you much. You are habitual right?" said Alex with a smile.

His smile as was saying- it is okay to be born in a complicated family. It was not in your hand.

Seeing him like this, a huge burden was lifted off from her heart.

"Yeah. I'm."

"You like nights or days?" Anna asked while gazing at the moon.

"Nothing. Everything is equal for me." Because I have both with me because of you. These words were stuck in his mouth.

"I like nights. Its the best time we can let our emotions run. This is the time we can miss someone, we can cry lonely and no one will notice." Seeing Anna talking so much emotionally, made Alex's heart twist.

He knew she is hurt. She chose to be hurt. But he saw a change in her.

The Anna, who never open up to any stranger, has opened up to him.

She told him about her family, which was a huge step. She told him about her brother, which she never talks with anyone except her mother and uncle.

He was happy, she is involving him in her world. Because he wants to be a part of it.

"Lets go."

"Yes."

Alex dropped her where he had picked her up and Anna climbed the pipe lane till she reached her window.

After entering the room, she she changed into her night wear and went to sleep with a smile, thinking about what happened that whole day.

...

But on another side, Alex didn't went home. Instead he went to an abandon building.
