ALEX'S POV

"What are you doing here?" I asked Brittany who was standing in front of me with her hands on her hips.

"I just wanted to have a little talk to you" she said smirking

"W-why?" I stuttered

"Aww little Alex is scared now... no one can help her" she said

"What do you want Brittany?"

"Well, I heard that you and Glen are together now" she said
"Good move Alex, you won the battle, but not the war" she said as she came closer to me
"Glen will be mine again. I can assure you this" and then she exited the toilet.

I didn't notice that I was crying until I felt my cheeks were wet.

I knew she was bad but not that evil. And I knew she would have done everything for getting back with Glen.

I looked at myself in the mirror again. My eyes were puffy for the tears and I couldn't go out like that or the others would have noticed that I was crying and I didn't want them to worry about me.
I refreshed my face with some water, I checked myself one last time and I exited the toilet.

I looked around and Brittany was nowhere to be seen and I wondered how come we didn't see her when we entered the diner.
I put a smile on my face and I went to the table where the lads were laughing.

"Hey, I was coming for checking you out. What took you so much time?" Sam said

"Don't worry. I am ; there were just many people in the toilet and I had to wait a bit" I smiled at her as I sat and Glen put an arm around my shoulders.

I couldn't stop thinking about what Brittany had said. I didn't want to lose Glen. I nearly did once and I was hurt. I promised to tell him if Brittany would have came near me again. I didn't know what to do... If I told Glen what was going on, that Brittany talked to me again how he would have reacted? But if I didn't tell him it would have probably been worse. I would have broken the promise I made him that day at the park.

"Alex?" I turned around and I saw Glen looking at me with narrowed eyes
"Are you okay?" he asked me

"Yeah, it's just... I'm a little tired" I smiled at him

"Do you want to go home?"

"No, it's okay" I smiled at him again.
He kissed me on the cheek and the guys kept talking to each other.

Sometimes I laughed with them but I wasn't really okay.
When we finished eating we got out the diner and we decided to go for a walk around the city.
Glen took my hand and he smiled at me.

"Are you cold?" he asked me

"No, I'm okay" I said with a smile which he returned.

It was 10 but the city was very quiet.
We walked around for half an hour and then we decided to go home.
We waved the others goodbye and Glen and me walked our way home.
We stayed silent for a long time and there were loads of thoughts about Brittany running through my head.

Suddenly Glen spoke "Alex are you sure you're okay? You're acting weird" he said narrowing his blue eyes at me

"I-I am okay" I mumbled

He stopped "Is something bothering you?"

"No" I focused my gaze on the ground and he lifted my chin up with his hand

"Alex, tell me what is the matter. Is it me?" He asked seeming worried.

I shook my head and I started crying again
"Hey, hey" he whispered as he hugged me
"Why are you crying?" He said

I sniffled and I wiped the tears from my eyes
"I-It's just..." I mumbled

"What?" He said as he gently caressed my cheek

"I'm scared of losing you" I said avoiding his gaze

"Why? I'm not going anywhere" he said hugging me

I hugged him back and when we pulled out he kissed me.

"I'm not going anywhere" he said again.

I nodded. He gave me a peck on my lips and we made our way home.
When I got home I kissed Glen goodbye and went straight in my bedroom and cried again.
