Just Two Kids Stupid And Fearless
Take a breath, and let the rest come easy
"Come on Wends, eat a little more. Please.", Alex begged me when I was already full up on the bacon and macaronis. "You really need it."
"I'm done.", I said, and looked hopeless on him. I tried to swallow one more fork full of food, but it felt like it would come up again. "I'm gonna throw up soon."
"I think you should eat every third hour, so I'll put it in the fridge for so long.", he said, kissed my head, and did as he said he would.
"Thank you.", I looked at him and raised.
"For what?", he pulled his eyebrows together.
"For taking care of me so good.", I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"No problem.", he smiled at me quickly before kissing my nose. I kissed him roughly, and he out his hands on my back.
"Have you seen Peter Pan?", he asked me. I know I should've done it, because the main character name was Wendy, but when I was little I got teased a little for it, so I refused watching it.
"No.", I smiled.
"Let's change that.", he grabbed my boney hand, and pulled me to the living room. I sat down in the couch, while he mounted in the disc in the DVD player. He cuddled me up in his arms, and the movie started.
It was really good. It was cozy, romantic and funny, perfect for every age. It was totally lovely, and I couldn't be ashamed over where my name was inspired from.
"Did you like it?", Alex asked me. I yawned and nodded against his shoulder with my arms around him.
"It was awesome.", I mumbled, smiling. "I'm just really tired.", it was true. Even though it was only 3 pm, I could fall asleep within a minute.
"Sleep some then, you deserve it.", he said, and we laid down. He wrapped his arms around me behind and kissed my neck, and I closed my eyes.
Alex POV:
It didn't take many minutes until I heard her breath go heavier. I assumed that she was asleep.
I reached for the remote, and switched the channels on the tv. Jersey Shore, news, The Ellen Show and Oprah was the only interesting. I chose Ellen, and unluckily, Justin Bieber was the guest. He mostly talked about his fans, Baby, the rumors about him and Selena and whatever he said the girls in the audience went crazy. I turned down the volume, and unlocked my phone. Nothing new. Right when I was about to put it down, Jack called me.
"Hello?", I whispered.
"Why are you whispering?", he asked me in a normal tone. I gave Wendy a quick look.
"Wendy sleeps.", I answered, still whispering.
"Well, can we come over? Me, Rian and Zack?", he asked.
"Sure, just tell me when."
"How about 20 minutes? We're bored as fuck. We all just got home from our parents."
"Great, I'm gonna clean up an-", Jack cut me off.
"I don't wanna see any condoms on the floor!", he yelled like a baby, and I got a cold feeling in my stomach. Condom?! I didn't remember wearing that today! Shit. Wendy wasn't on the pill, as far as I knew, and none of us were ready for a kid.
"No w-worries.", I fell on my own words, in shock.
"Are you okey, Alex?", he wondered.
"Yeah. See ya. Bye.", I said, and carefully lifted Wendy up so I could stand up. She was still asleep when I got off the couch luckily.
I hurried to the bedroom with my heart beating to the limit. Our clothes was on the floor, but no condom or any protection. "Fuck.", I mumbled. The whole scene wasn't really short, so there was a chance I had gotten my girlfriend pregnant, but I wished with all my heart I didn't. A little baby wasn't really something I wanted for the moment, or for the coming year. It's not that I never wanted a child with Wendy, one day I knew we would be a happy family with one or two kids. But the thought of it now, it would be really hard for both of us, me touring and can't be home, and Wendy's tiny body couldn't handle it.
I sat down with my back leaned to the bed, and my face covered in my hands. My breath, and heart, went faster. This was not the right moment for an attack, but they were hopeless. I started shaking, and I closed my eyes hard.
"Just breathe Alex, just breathe.", I whispered to myself, trying to calm my breath down. "She can't see you weak now. She won't get pregnant, the chance is small.", my breath slowed down a little, but it was still fast. The air got heavier, and I fought to get it in my lungs. My body was freezing while it was shaking, but I had no strength to get something warm around me.
When I finally could breathe normal again, it was 13 minutes until the boys would come. The whole thought about that we didn't use a condom scared the shit out of me, whatever I was doing. I started to pick up the clothes on the floor, threw them in the laundry, and made the bed.
I put on a Green Day t-shirt, and took a pair of jeans to Wendy she could wear. I smiled when I saw I picked out the ones I got her. I went out the the living room, where she still was sleep on the couch. I sat down on my knees in front of her, and pulled her hair back.
"Baby, wake up.", I shook her gentle, and her eyelids fluttered. "The boys are coming in 6 minutes.", she opened her eyes.
"What?", she mumbled sleepy.
"The boys are coming soon, so you better get up.", I kissed her forehead. She sat up and yawned.
"Gosh, I'm gonna fall sleep in front of them. I bet I look like a freak.", she giggled a little. How the fuck could she be that cute?
"No, you're pretty.", I said, kissed her cheek and gave her the jeans. She smiled, but then the smile disappeared.
"What happened to you? You're face is red. Did you have a panic and anxiety attack?", he fingertips walked down my cheek.
"It's fine.", I lied, and smiled at her. 'Yeah honey, we forgot wearing a condom, you might be pregnant.' I thought to myself. "I'll tell you later, okey?", she faked a smile, and kissed first my nose then my lips.
"I wish I was awake so I could take care about you as good as you do of me.", she said, stood up and squeezed on the skinny jeans. "Can I borrow a beanie of you?"
"Sure, they're in the closet.", I said, and saw her walking to the bedroom. "Can you give me a pair of socks while you're even there?"
"Sure babe!", she was in a good mode, and I didn't want to ruin that before the boys came.
"Thanks.", I mumbled.
"We sound like an old couple.", she laughed at me when she came out and threw my the socks. I faked a giggle, and saw her walking in to the bathroom. I sighed, sat down on the couch, and pulled on my socks. If she would get pregnant, I wouldn't be able to be there all the time. If I would, I'd have to give up my career, and let my fans and the band down. The last thing I wanted is to be someone who wasn't there when the kid grew up, and I didn't want to let go of the music. But we just needed to see what happened, and it was way to early to see in the future.
"You're quiet. What's up?", Wendy came out from the bathroom. The smudged make up was gone, and she didn't wear much at all. She sat down next to me.
"Baby,", I hesitated and looked in her eyes. "we forgot the condom, and it's not that I didn't get an orgasm. So yeah."
"I'm done.", I said, and looked hopeless on him. I tried to swallow one more fork full of food, but it felt like it would come up again. "I'm gonna throw up soon."
"I think you should eat every third hour, so I'll put it in the fridge for so long.", he said, kissed my head, and did as he said he would.

So, I just read what you have of this story and its prequel, and I really like what you have of both. At first, it was a little rough getting into it; it seemed kind of rushed at first, especially with all of the drama of how they got together and then broke up in like a day when they first met, but I have to say, after the time passed and they got back together again, this story just really started getting good. Some of the grammar is a bit off, but as you continued the story I noticed your improvement and that's awesome; that means you have definitely progressed as you have continued writing this.
I'm sad it was never finished, though. One thing I found a bit odd was that you continued with this installment after giving the first one an epilogue, due to the fact that means we already know the ending for Wendy and Alex, but... I kind of like how you did that. I don't believe I've seen an author do that before, kind of go back and fill in the time in-between in the sequel.
And this story is seriously so cute. Alex and Wendy's love is seriously so genuine; again, while it was a bit rushed at first, as I got into the second half of the first installment and this sequel it was just, wow, I just love their relationship. It's been a while since I've seen such a connection between the two characters and I seriously enjoyed it.
And I also liked the fact that as I got to the end of what you have so far, that you made it realistic. Alex understands she's not ready for a baby and is ready to sacrifice that. This is actually the first time I've seen this in a story, where it's being both considered and followed through with, along with the fact that both characters are for the most part peaceful with the decision. Hell I'm even peaceful with the decision, which really surprises me, because every other story where this has happened, I haven't been. And that's really weird for me, so kudos for pulling that off and making it convincing, and not making it so heartbreaking. I mean it is still a heartbreaking thing, but it's more understood that it's the best decision. Although the two characters being fine with it probably is what makes me as a reader somewhat okay with it. I'm happy you took that route as opposed to creating severe conflict, which is what I typically see with this idea. It was a nice change.
And, wow, this is a long comment. To sum up, I think you're a great writer and I really hope you're still writing on your own time, at least. I'm sad this wasn't finished, but I wanted to leave a comment letting you know my thoughts and just how much I've genuinely liked what I've read so far. Seriously, great job. If you ever choose to continue someday, I will be here to read. This story is too good to let go. I think these two characters should have more of a conclusion in this installment. But I guess overall I should be happy, considering with the last installment, we know that they end up together. So at least that's been told.
But still, if you continue, I'm willing to read. :)
