High School: Way to Forever
Chapter 124: Mistake

Alex kept his calmness. His face did not show any expression but he can see the fear on Scott's face."Bring it to me." Alex said and Scott can detect that his brother's voice has become cold. Scott came near him and handed his phone.

Alex took one glance and then swiped towards left rejecting his father's call!

There was no need to answer those people who were selfish and mean. He did not care about his parents and family, except his grandparents. He then again was going to cut the cake. Scott clapped his hands while Alex cut the cake. "Brother, make a wish also!" Alex knew nothing as this happens but seeing Scott's excitement, he was not able to reject him.

But unknown to him, maybe his wish will help him in the future to achieve his goal. He needed a lot of luck.

He closed his eyes and made a wish. When he opened the eyes, Scott asked him "Brother, what wish you made?"

"If I tell you, will it be a wish anymore? No. So, if this wish is fulfilled then I will surely tell you. Okay, now let me take a bite of the cake you made. Though it looks delicious, it is not life-taking, right?" Alex joked.

His brother made something for the first time so he can't help but tease him little. Scott made a cake especially for his birthday and he can't help but feel like a father receiving a gift from his child! As expected, Scott pouted his face as if showing that he was angry. Alex ignored him and took the bite of the cake.

"Mmm... It is so good! You did well, Scott. I'm proud of you!" Alex patted Scott's small head and Scott smiled in satisfaction. Well, praise for a person like Scott, who wants to be perfect in everything is something of real importance. "Okay, brother. Now I'm going to sleep. You also sleep now don't stay awake later." Saying this, Scott ran to his room at lightning speed.

Alex's heart was filled with warmness. He kept his one hand on his heart and thanked God for making his birthday so special.

One, his ladylove wished him first and that too in the midnight, which meant she was especially awake for him! Second for what his little brother did for him. He had a small world of these two, for whom he lives and can die also. He doesn't need anything else except these two entertainment personalities in his life.

But God is not always so good to you…

His other hand was on the phone which he had hidden under the pillow and turned the phone to silent. He took it out and saw there were a total of ten miscalls from his parents!

'Are they both drinking so much that they remembered having a son like me?' He first thought. Although he didn't want to talk with them how can he resist hearing what they have to say this time? He picked the phone and dialed the number from which he was receiving calls continuously. After a few rings, Alex heard the other side picking the phone up.

"Alex! You ungrateful child! How dare you reject our call?" Alex can hear his father shouting from the other side. His eyes furrowed and a frown expression appeared on his face. Was his mistake for rejecting their calls when their other child is so afraid of them?

"Well, if you have called to shout then keep your shouting skills to yourself. I'm hanging up." Alex said this and his father sneered on the other side. Why can't he just talk with his father without getting scoldings? They surely can never talk like two sensible people. Maybe because they never considered him as their child but a tool.

"I called to wish you many many happy returns of the day!" Alex's Father finally came on the main topic. But Alex's heart didn't warm up like it did when he heard Anna's as well as Scott's wishes.

"Thank you." was all that he said. Alex can hear some voices behind his father. He knew it was none other than his own mother who must be trying to snatch the phone from his father so that she can wish him. They were showing so much concern as they cared if he lived or not! This all so funny for him that he was trying hard to control his laughter.

Alex and Scott were never close to their parents. It was like they had a cold war between them because of their elder brother. Scott was with Alex since he was one year old. Alex played the role of a good brother and a good father for Scott. As a father, he taught him how to walk, how to speak properly, how to be happy, and most importantly, stopped him from doing something wrong.

He was his brother and blood relations are never old! He talked about their parents, it was ironic that they never cared about their other two sons!

"Alex..... How are you, son?" Alex then heard his mother's concern voice. But Alex was least concerned if she worries about him or not. Maybe because he never received any motherly love so he was not at all attached to her. But still, as a child he has a soft corner for his mother because he knew, it was not fully her fault too.

"I'm...okay." If this was asked by his father, he would have replied purely sarcastically but this was his mother. He replied with neither cold tone nor warmth.

"Child... Happy Birthday! You are already eighteen." Alex's mother said emotionally. He can feel that she was trying to control her emotions.

"Hmm. I'm already eighteen. Congratulations to you both also, your mistake is already eighteen years old."
