Chapter 7
THIRD PERSON P.O.V
Alice woke up to Five groaning while stitching his wound on his shoulder. "Here let me" she said, taking the needle and continued closing up the wound. When she was done, she grabbed a bandage and placed it on the wound.
"Thanks" Five got up and put his blouse on, unbeknownst to Five Alice was a blushing mess beside him.
'My face is probably red by now with seeing him in just a tank top on'
Five finished up with putting his blazer on and zipping his duffle bag shut. Alice sat up and opened the window beside the bed. Five didn't question it and they went out through the window and down the fire exit.
"Damn it! Where's dad's stuff!" Klaus said while searching through the piles of garbage.
"Uh Klaus, the thing you're finding is not there anymore" Alice said, while climbing down the ladder.
"I'd ask what you're up to Klaus, then it occurred to me. I don't care" Five said, Alice snickered at his sarcastic remark.
After Five got down he helped Alice get down the ladder. "You know there's easier ways out of the house, buddy—buddies?" Klaus said.
"This one involved the least amount of talking, or so I thought " Five said walking away. "Hey, hey, hey, so....you need more company today? I could clear my schedule" Klaus said, taking a sip of his drink.
"Looks like you've got your hands full '' Five said, completely ignoring Klaus at this point.
"How about you take Ben to the movies? And don't eat that donut" Alice said, glancing at Ben who was beside Klaus. "I'm done funding your drug habit" Five said walking towards the van. "I love you! Even if you can't love yourself!" Klaus yelled.
Five continued to ignore his mess of a brother as he just casually stole a plumbing van as Alice waved goodbye at Klaus.
Five and Alice drove off to the hospital, they looked out for the doctor. Five checked the back and grabbed the duffle bag, "Hey, sorry you were in there for so long Delores" he said, pulling Delores out of the bag.
"Hi, Delores, how are you?" Alice said, "She said she's just fine and hello too" Five said smiling softly at Alice "No Delores I'm not drunk, I'm working" Five said placing her between Alice and him.
"Yes It's about the eye thing, this is the place it was made or will be made" Five said glancing out the window "Five how about you take a nap, I'll wake you up if anything suspicious happens" Alice said.
Five hesitated a bit but just sighed.
"Fine" he said and closed his eyes.
______
"No..." Five groaned in his sleep, Alice knew what he was dreaming about and started waking him up "Five, Five? Wake up" Alice said, slightly shaking him awake.
"Five!" Alice looked outside and saw Luther. She got out of her seat and went to the back of the van, Five woke up after Luther said his name.
Luther was trying to get into the front seat grunting.
"What are you..." Five muttered as he looked around for a bit.
"Hey, it's okay" Five turned around and saw that Alice was now at the back of the van. He looked back at Luther who was now in the front seat "you shouldn't be....How did you find me?" Luther gestured to Klaus who was dancing with Delores.
"Hey a little privacy guys, we're really hitting it off here" Five groaned in annoyance and threw a can at him.
"Get out! You can't be here!" he yelled "I'm in the middle of something" he said. Klaus glanced at Alice, "any luck finding your one eyed man?" Alice just shook her head to no.
"What's he talking about?" Luther asked, referring to Klaus' question.
"Does it matter? it's Klaus" Five sighed. "What do you want, Luther?" Five said being clearly annoyed by his brothers.
"Um, so Grace might have had something to do with dad's death" Luther said.
"So I need you to come back to the academy, alright it's important" Alice rolled her eyes at Luther, yeah his daddy issues were more important than the end of the world.
" 'important' you have no concept of what's important," Five said. "Hey, did I ever tell you guys about the time that I waxed my ass with chocolate pudding?" Klaus laughed and Alice just quietly giggled.
"It was painful!" Luther just looked at Klaus "what are you still doing here?" he said "what? I need an excuse to hang out with my family?" Klaus said. "We're trying to have a serious conversation," Luther said, gesturing to him and Five.
"What? I'm incapable of being serious? Is that what you're saying?" Klaus said.
"No, it's just you sometimes make jokes at the wrong time" Alice said, glancing at Klaus.
"Luther's got a point, get out" Five said, Klaus got out of the van—pouting.
"fine!" He said as he made his way to the door.
"Sorry.." Alice smiled sadly at Klaus, then he closed the door.
"What the hell are you up to Five?" Luther asked as he looked at Five suspiciously.
"You wouldn't understand" Five said "try me, last I checked, I'm still the leader of this family" Alice just scoffed at what he said.
"Hah! yeah 'leader' " She said.
"Well last I checked I'm 58 years older than you" Five said as Luther sighed.
"You know what your problem is?" Luther said, looking at Five.
"Really hoping you would tell me" Five was growing more annoyed at his brother. "You think that you're better than us, you always have even when we were kids. But the truth is you're just as messed up as the rest of us, where all you have and you know it" Luther said.
"I don't think that I'm better than you number one, I know I am" Five said, Luther chuckled at that "I've done unimaginable things, just to get back here" Five said.
Outside the car Klaus was running out of a store with various foods with him probably stolen. "Now I'm thinking if it was the right choice" Alice smiled at Five.
"Don't worry it was."
