Love Journal - As Told By An Emotionally Constipated Half-Genius

Chapter 219 - Angry Alex

Scarlet was living with Alex and Jasper for two days. While the writer was slowly getting better and regaining her smile, her eyes remained hollow without news about Edward. Scarlet often heard second-hand news from Alex or Jasper about her boyfriend who still never checked his texts. Apparently, Edward was working on something important with Jasper and Elfie but he wouldn't talk to her.

"As I expected... he must still be angry at me. That's why he doesn't check my texts. How long has it been? Four days? Will he really come back after a week?"

Alex looked up from her sketchbook with horror. Scarlet who had been lying upside down on the couch mumbled that to herself but Alex who had been focussed on her homework heard it all. She couldn't say anything back to make her sister feel better.

The grip on her pencil was so hard that Alex heard it make a cracking sound. Loosening her grip a little, Alex had to reel in her anger. Was he really that heartless? She hasn't given him a piece of her mind because Alex was more concerned about her sister's safety but this boy was being too much! He didn't even call or reply to her text even after four days. Didn't he know that Scarlet had chronic depression? How could he do this to her? What if Scarlet had a relapse?

Furious, Alex couldn't focus on her homework any longer. She wanted to take a few hours to practice figure sketching using Scarlet as her model but seeing as the mood wasn't right, Alex changed her plans for the evening.

"Sis, what do you want to eat for dinner? I've been dying to test out some new recipes. Won't you help me out?"

Scarlet looked up from her phone. "We aren't allowed to cook, remember? Jasper said that. Edward also doesn't want me alone in the kitchen."

Alex rolled her eyes. "Jasper just doesn't like it when there is the smell of food in his apartment. I'm also a decent cook, you won't be alone in the kitchen with me. While you're at it, you could also learn how to make a simple meal or two for yourself. How about it? I'm in the mood for Beef Gratin Pasta. You can help make the salad."

Scarlet agreed and they searched up the recipe together before preparing the ingredients needed. While Scarlet was occupied, she wasn't so focused on Edward and Alex secretly rejoiced at the small victory.
