I know that it has been more or less two months after I updated again so I am really sorry for the delay. I hope you enjoy reading this book. It's one of the best damn things I've done in high school so yay!

---------------------------------------------------------

I ended up running to the pavement outside Justin's house still confused about everything that happened tonight. That was my first kiss ever! Not that it was on the lips but still! Even if it was just a peck on the cheek it was still so confusing why he did that when we just knew each other for barely two months now.

Everything went into a blur when I headed out of the house so I don't remember if Macy saw me running away or Kit called my name or Cooper arrived with drinks with huge amounts of alcohol content.

It was serene outside. The cars were parked well and nobody was outside except for me and Alec that sat on the hood of his car with his phone on his ear-probably talking to his mother like he'd said. His black Mercedes-benz was parked beside Cooper's car at the end of the block road.

While I was walking towards him, his voice was slowly being audible to my hearing and as I got closer I realized he was already crying. At first, I was shocked that a minute or two before he was just his jerk-self and now I saw his soft side unexpectedly. When I figured he didn't notice me, I kept silent and sat beside him just in time he put his phone on the hood beside him.

As soon as he noticed my presence he turned his body a little to face me. "I'm sorry. I don't want you to see me this way." He said. Eyes a little red and his nose was turning pink but his tears stopped flowing already. He looked tired, sad, and shy. I didn't realize he was onion-skinned.

In Portland, I didn't really hang out with guys-well except for Chad that I dated twice only during junior year. You might wonder why I said Kit's kiss on my cheek was my first kiss ever, that's because I didn't want Chad to kiss me when we were dating. I am really particular on saving my first kiss for the guy I really love and I knew it wasn't him. But what happened earlier was totally unexpected. I know I kind of overreacted but I'm just really keeping my promise to myself and now, Kit ruined it.

Since I don't know what I should say especially when I'm trying to comfort a guy, I just pretended that I was talking to Andrea and say the words of wisdom I know to comfort someone. "You know, sometimes we cry because we don't know what to do anymore." I began and Alec looked at me in the eyes waiting for me to finish what words of wisdom I know. "But even if it's a really big problem and you think it's inescapable, just figure out how you feel and let it speak." I put a hand on his shoulder to try to comfort him and he just looked down.

Did I say something that made him feel worse? Did he feel any better with what I said?

"My mom wants to come home." He explained still facing the floor. I never knew someone as happy as him could have some family problems.
