*~*~* Alex's POV *~*~*

I just couldn't stop myself from crying. I heard a buzz and looked at chases phone absent mindedly and saw a text from Court.. Ugh she just finds a way to ruin everything! I instantly tense up and AJ can feel this too, he pulls me in closer and hugs me tighter.

"its going to be okay baby doll," he whispers and I instantly relax into him again. we satay like that until we fall asleep together again. I wake up and find myself nestled into him, and his arms still wrapped around my tightly. I can feel my body buzzing from the closeness and my thoughts starting to cloud and focus on AJ. his eyes flutter open and his ocean blue eyes stare back at me.

"You look gorgeous in the morning," he whispers. I immediately blush and smile wide. he leans in and kisses me but this time I don't pull away. His soft warm lips welcoming mine. Fireworks everywhere, I smile into the kiss and kiss him back.

"WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!?!?!" someone yells. I instantly pull away and look at the door.

Courtney. She's standing there looking pissed as hell. "WHY ARE YOU MAKING OUT WITH MY BOYFRIEND!?!?!?!?!"

boyfriend?!

"WHAT!!!" I scream back. I jump up from the couch and turn to AJ. "YOU'RE DATING COURTNEY!!??!!"

"I-I-" he stutters out looking at me with panic in his eyes. I feel my eyes tearing up and look away.

"GET OUT OF MY ROOM NOW AARON JAMES AND NEVER COME BACK!?"

he instantly stands and walks to me trying to get me to face him but I don't care, hes a lying piece of shit. he sighs and walks out. As soon as the door closes, I couldn't stop myself from crying for the second time today. I don't know who to call, I want to call J but he will just leave me and go beat up AJ, I would call Sptiz but I need a guy friend right now, so that only leaves me with one person to call. I grab my pone and dial his number, he picks up on the 3rd ring sounding groggy, I look at the clock and realize its 10... whoa we were asleep for a very long time.

"hello?" he said in a sleepy voice.

"I-I-I" I stuttered and started to cry again.

"aawwee baby girl don't cry! I'll be over in a second." he coos as I hear ruffling sound in the background.

"o-okay" I sob out.

5 mins later I hear a knock and run to the door, as I open it I see Steve's dark brown hair all tossled, his deep green eyes looking tired, and his lean tan body in loose fitting jeans and a black V-neck. I instantly jumped on him and he wrapped his arms around me and carried me inside.

"what happened baby girl?" he asked in a hushed tone and looks really concerned.

I spend the next 20 mins explaining to him everything that happened since this morning and when im done, he looks just as pissed as ever.

"That.. That... UGH he's getting a beat down!" Steve said frustrated as he ran his hand through his hair. I looked up at him and realized just how cute he was and how nice he was. I had the sudden urge to kiss him and now realized how close we were and it gave me goose bumps. He looked into my eyes and visibly calmed down. he leaned close and whispered, "I know this might be terrible timing but would you like to go out with me tomorrow night?"

with out any hesitation or a doubt in my mind I answered "yes."

he smiled that cute smile and looked down chuckling in relief. "oh thank god. I thought you were going to turn me down."

"I would never."

he leaned and kissed him. his mouth soft and warmer than AJ's.

hhmmm.. butterflies.

his lips broke apart from mine. I slowly opened my eyes and saw his eyes smiling back at me.

God..... why didn't I see Steve before?

we talked and watched some movies, he ended up staying in my room and sleeping on the couch with me. I woke up and realized school's going to start in a few days and I haven't even gotten any clothes. Steve is still sound asleep so I start to untangle myself from him, and I slowly get up so I don't wake him. I wash my face with clod, refreshing water and I brush my teeth. I do my makeup and change into pink shorts and a black low cut shirt with my chucks. I throw my hair in a ponytail and grab my purse and start to head out. as I open the door, I hear a door opening down the hall and I see AJ step out... and only then do I realize.. he didn't come out of Courtney's room, but Stacy's. I instantly try to get my door to open again but its locked and I forgot my key inside... ugh just great for me.. I look up and see AJ is walking towards me, and as he nears I walk away.

"ALEX!" he yells but I don't bother looking back or slowing down. he chases my all the way down to the foyer until he grabs my shoulder and whirls me around.

"Alex! what the hell!" he yells looking pissed. oohh!! hes the one pissed! I rage out on him

"OH! YOU'RE PISSED?!?!? YOU KISSED ME WHILE YOU'RE DATING COURTNEY AND NOW I SEE YOU COME OUT OF STACY'S ROOM!!!" I scream at him, my eyes getting water and a tear threatening to brake loose. he looks at me shocked and he whispers

"its not what it looks like."

before I can answer, Stacy comes in smiling and says, "Hey AJ you forgot your phone in my room!" she says excitedly and hands him the room. he takes it and mumbles out a thank you, still looking me in the eye.

"I had a lot of fun last night! call me!" she yells as she skips away. By now I'm gone. I race out towards my brothers car and get in. i'm only 14 but I do know how to drive and plus the legal age for driving over here is 14 in half. Im almost 15 in the next month so im good. I just drive without thinking and I end up where it all started, the late nights practicing, the passion to pitch, the bonding with my family, and the best memories of my mom...

I'm home.
