Week Twelve: Tuesday
Who: Alex and Hesper
Where: Nox's apartment
When: Late Night
What: Alex is freaking out about Serena moving and goes to see his BFF but finds his sister instead.

So Serena had dropped a bombshell on him. She had gotten a job offer. She was moving across the country. And he had a feeling that she really didn't care whether he went with her or not. When he made mention of his plans, his obligations here, she said that it didn't change anything about that, her leaving. And then a big fight ensued, he accused her of running off with Kayden, she insisted that she was NOT doing that, and then the fight ended when he took off, slamming doors behind him.

After way too much to drink, he was human after all, he decided to go to the one place where he knew he would find someone to talk to, Nox's apartment. He would have called first, texted, something, but he was really really drunk and he dropped his cellphone in the pisser and now it wasn't working at all. He'd have to go get a new one tomorrow. So on rather unsteady feet, he made his way back to the Towers, narrowly avoiding a spill down the stairs once or twice, and onto the floor where Nox lived. He pounded heavily upon the door.

Now normally, Alex was a good looking guy. He was never entirely clean shaven and he had a tendency to wear his hair a little too long because he never got around to cutting it, and tonight was no exception. Granted, his eyes were a little red and glazed over, but he still looked nice in his tight jeans, his cowboy boots, and his white wife beater, not that he cared, and not that he thought Nox would care how he looked either. All he knew was that the women at the bar hadn't minded his slightly disheveled appearance at all.

Once more, he pounded on the door. "Nox! Open up, man! I gotta talk to you." He hadn't thought about the possibility that he wasn't there, or that he was sleeping. But if no one answered, he'd probably just have himself a seat in the hallway there until someone showed up.

Nights were always so boring at home. Most of the time Nox was at work, which meant she could not bother him or Hale. Chris worked nights too. All these people with annoying, steady jobs. She easily made more than they did in a year for only a week's worth of work. Still, Nox had picked up a new video game and Hesper was determined to beat it before he had a chance to. After all, what were siblings for if not for ruining your joy? It would annoy him, and she would get the satisfaction of beating it. Plus she had a job to get ready for later in the week.

She had not been expecting someone to start pounding on the door. The sudden noise almost made her jump, almost. Still, someone was shouting for Nox, and it was not like Nox could get up and answer the door. Rolling her eyes she put the game on pause and headed over to the door unhappily. Really, she had been having a perfectly good time with her controller. Opening the door she raised her eyebrow at just what was on the other side.

Well, either Nox was having some very interesting late night callers, or this was probably that Alex kid he had been talking about recently. He was cute, if stumbling over himself. "Nox isn't home, sweetheart." she said, smirking at him. "I don't think you'll be conscious when he does get in." Moving out of the way so he could walk it, she motioned him into the apartment. "Can wait for him. Just don't throw up, I don't clean up puke."

Alex looked just as confused as she did when the door was opened and there stood a blond girl instead of the blond man he had been expecting. "Hesper?" She was the only person that he could think of that would be here in the middle of the night when Nox wasn't. And she looked a little familiar, from the pictures, if he squinted.

"Is he working?" He asked, and then stumbled his way inside, closing his eyes for a moment after the first few steps to steady the spinning of the room before he crossed over and took a seat in the living room chair. "He let me sleep here, last time. He won't care," he remarked as he peeled off his boots and his socks, setting them to the side before he leaned back in the chair and groaned, dragging his hands up over his face.

"Serena's leavin'." Granted, he didn't know Hesper. He had never met her before. He didn't even know if she knew who Serena was. But he was drunk and what did he care? He just needed someone to talk to about it. "She got a job. She's leavin'. I told her I can't go right now, cause of the car, and she told me that didn't matter, that it didn't change nothin' for me, and offered to let me take over her lease." He sighed, dropping his hands from his face and looking at Hesper. "Do you know Serena? I mean, I came up here cause of her and now she's just gonna take off? And she says it's not because of that fuckin' blood sucker boyfriend of hers but I think she's lyin'."
