My Ex Next Door

Leo and Ethan were so worried about their sister, they kept on banging on the door while calling her name.

"Al, come out. For sure Uncle Ken only forgot to invite us" Ethan spoke, after they heard from Ander\'s that Ken held an engagement party for him and Novie without inviting them, Alexa locked herself in her room.

She has been crying for hours and everyone started to get worried. Evan and Daniella were both at work leaving Selena and Anders to look after them.

Selena already called their parents and they are on the way, they tried to open the door but the Alexa seems to find a way to block the doorway.

Minutes later, Evan arrived, he knocked on the door and called her name.

"Alexandria, open the door. Let\'s talk before your mother arrives. You know what she will do if you don\'t open the door now" Evan keeps on knocking on the door but Alexa wouldn\'t open it.

"Alexa, honey. Ken must have forgotten to invite you. And they held it in the night and you know it\'s past your bedtime" Evan continues and tried to explain to his daughter but still, she wouldn\'t open the door.

Everyone was worried, they don\'t know if Alexa was standing by the door, therefore, they could not force it open.

Minutes later, Daniella arrived, the woman looked so stressed with her messy bun and bags under her eyes.

She hasn\'t been in the house for more than a week, therefore she doesn\'t have an idea of what was happening around.

"Honey, open the door" Daniella spoke without knocking.

They heard some sound of furniture moving, they all looked at each other in amusement, then slowly the door opened and Alexa\'s head peeped. Her face was swollen from crying while her eyes were red.

"Mommy!" she called in a faint tone. Daniella entered her room and closed the door, leaving everyone outside.

Alexa pouted and embraced her mother, "Mommy, Uncle Ken didn\'t invite me to his party!" her voice was almost faded from crying for hours.

"It\'s fine baby. Once Uncle Ken gets his memories back. He will come back and apologize to you" Daniella comforted her.

"But mommy, My heart is hurting, just like when my dog died" she innocently compared her feelings she had when her pet died in an accident.

Her mother giggled and brushed her hair, "That\'s fine honey, the pain will fade soon"

Alexa\'s tears keep on flowing no matter how many times Daniella wipes it.

"What if Uncle Ken will not get his memory back? Does it mean he will not love me anymore?" Alexa continuously cried.

Her mother sighed and held both of her shoulders, "You know baby, we need to respect whatever decision your Uncle Ken will make, no matter what happened, we will always support and love him. He might have forgotten us but that doesn\'t mean we should stop loving him right?" hearing those words, Alexa\'s tears dried, she nodded and wiped the tears from her mother cheeks.

"Mommy, are you crying because I cried or because Uncle Ken forgot you too?" her mother giggled and shrugged her shoulder.

"Maybe both, but next time you see them, you need to congratulate and wish them happiness all right?" her mother patted her head twice.

Alexa\'s mood lightened up, she nodded and ran outside to apologize to her brother.

In the other side, Evan saw his wife through the small space of the open door, he entered the room and buried his wife face on his shoulder.

"Seems like Ken didn\'t only break my daughter\'s heart but my wife as well" he teasingly said and groan after Daniella pinched his stomach.

Later that afternoon, Novie decided to pick her fiance from his work. She has a plan today and it is to have Ken apologize to his sister and inform her about their decision.

When she entered the building, she saw Ken talking to a man, she doesn\'t want to interrupt them so she decided to hide but Ken already saw her before she could even hide.

She looked at him as he walked to her direction, when he finally reached her, he bent down to plant a small kiss on her lips which made her blush. People around were looking at them which only made her cheeks to burn.

She grabbed his wrist and dragged him out of the building. When they stopped in the parking lot, Ken asked her what\'s wrong.

"I was thinking of visiting Daniella in the hospital. Danny said she\'ll have some patients but maybe we can talk to her quick to inform her about our decision" she spoke while fixing his tie.

"I don\'t understand why we need to inform her that" Novie flattened her expression and tug on his collar.

"She helped us a lot and not inviting them to our dinner party was rude so we will apologize ok?" she widened her eyes to send him a message that she\'s serious.

"Fine, let\'s go then" Ken grunted and opened the car door for her.
