The New Beginning

Chapter 16-A Fairytale-(Clair's POV)

I heard the knock on the door and jumped 4 feet in the hair. I slowly made my way over to the window next to the door and peeked outside. I smiled when I saw who was standing there holding a bunch of flowers. I checked myself in the mirror and frowned at my appearance. I opened the door to see Alex's face. "I heard you were sick today and thought I would stop by to see if you needed any company?"He said with his signature grin.

"I am really glad you came, but I am not really up to talking to anyone right now..."I said tears swelling in my eyes as I looked away.

"Come here."he said wrapping me up his arms for a hug. "Now what's really wrong 'cause you and I both know you're not sick." I guided him over to the couch.

"I don't even know if it actually happened or not. I don't remember any of it."I said pulling my knees up to my chest and burying my head in them.

"If what happened? What's wrong?" Alex asked searching for my eyes."Please don't cry..."

"I think I got rapped..."I said thinking of the memory and letting out more sobs. I watched his eyes get big with shock and his hand traced my back incircles lightly.

"What? When?" he question with deep worry in his eyes.I replayed what had happened and he began bitting his lip. It looked so cute but that was one of the last things on my mind.

"Wait aren't you suppose to be at school right now?" I asked watching a grin come across his face.

"Ehh, I 'thew up' in the boys bathroom." He said making air quotes around throw up. I punched him in the shoulder.

"What happends when you get caught?" I joked with a smile. I liked this. This right here was what I dreamed of.

"I get detention. No big deal?" he shrugged like it was an everyday thing. With him, it probably was."I say we should watch a movie."he explained going over to the shelves of DVDs in the corner. He walked over and looked through the movies. "You really need to widen your horizon to more than just chick flicks. All you got is Nicholas Sparks stuff I swear."

"Sorry, if I am a sucker for romance!"I laughed.

"NOthing says romantic like Friday the 13th."He joked.

"That is Landan's Movie."I said. Landan was my mom's boyfriends son. He was sadly living with us. Not fun.

"Landan Michaels? WHat was he doing here?"he asked. I could almost see jeliousy oozing out of him.

"My mom is dating his dad, so he lives here part the time the other amount at his mom's. Trust me it is not fun sharing a house wit him."I said and Alex started relaxing again.

"Well, it looks like we will be watching Friday the 13th" he said putting it in the DVD player.

"Please no, I get scared."I said looking at him with my puppy dog eyes.

"You got me to hold on to." he said sitting down next to me and putting his arm around me.We sat and watched. Throughout the whole movie my face was buried in his chest.

"Is it over yet?"I asked without looking up.

"Yeah" he lied. I looked up and was met by the screams of some girl on the tv.

"Not cool!" I said burying my face in his shirt again."CAn we please just turn it off?" I pleaded.

"I'm kind of enjoying this."He said with his signature smirk.He took one last look at me then turned off the movie."So, what you want to do?"

"I do-" I began.

"Clair I'm home" My mom yelled as she walked in the door.

"To the basement!"I panicked and shoved him through the door leading downstairs.He wearily ran down the steps. When we entered my room I said,"Closet! She can't know your here."

"Clair?" I herd my mom stomp down the stairs."Where are you?"

"Down here" I said crawling into my bed quickly.

"Well I have to run some errands in a bit. While I'm gone, you can let that boy in your closet out." She said smiling at me and exiting my room. It was like awkward as Alex came out. I relized something. Today was a fairytale. A weird one but it was a fairytale.....
