As I woke up in the morning I couldn't help but wince as the bright light coming from the window hurt my eyes. I lifted my head after feeling an arm around my midsection only to see Demi.

What the hell, what...why....what the fuck happend. I thought as the events from last night replayed in my mind. I looked at Demi to see her cuddling my waist. After looking at her face for a few minutes I figured I should get out of the situation before she notices. Quickly and quietly I got out of bed, Jackson raised his head in question to which I made a shushing motion. His ears flattened as he whimpered, brushing against my leg as if to say "I'll be quiet". I laughed quietly and scratched his head which made him perk up and trot away.

I walked into the kitchen to make coffee for the both of us. As It finished brewing I poured some in my coffee mug. Looking down into the mug I got lost in my thoughts.

What if what Chris said was right, maybe Demi does like me, maybe she likes me just as much as I do to her....or she could just like me as a friend and I'm overthinking everything again..yeah it's probably me being paranoid. I'll have to ask Chris about it again. Maybe he can give me a little more insight as to what he meant last night.

"ALICE" I heard Demi yell causing me to jump. I turned around with a hand on my heart.

"Yeah, what's up?" I asked looking into her eyes.

"I've been calling your name for the past five minutes, what's wrong?" Shit...shit, shit

"Just some groggy morning thoughts, I was thinking we could go to the gym today. Only you spot me since you have a match tonight?"

"Yeah...we should make shakes and get dressed first" She said as she started grabbing everything she would need to make the shakes. I nodded drinking the rest of my coffee before heading upstairs to my room and changing.

Without the brace.

After changing and going downstairs I grabbed my shake that Demi handed me and let her go home to change

After changing and going downstairs I grabbed my shake that Demi handed me and let her go home to change. Whew' now I can fall apart on my couch and think about this more...yay

After seriously thinking it over I came to the realization that I like Demi as more than friends. I don't know how these feelings developed but I think it's a great feeling. I haven't had a significant other in a few years so it seems it would be fine...it just comes down to weather or not she likes me back.

Being at the gym made me realize just how far I've come. From an Itty bitty girl, to a professional wrestler.

As Rhea spotted me I had a new understanding on how pretty she really was. She just looked beautiful everywhere. Even with sweat pouring down her after she just won a match.
