Alex and Tyler were painting the walls to Alex's new apartment.
"I'm so glad I got this apartment" Alex said happily. "it's going to be so fun to live on my own again."
"On your own?" Tyler smiled. "I mean I'll probably be here 24/7."
"And I'll be okay with that" Alex said.
They kissed. Tyler wrapped his arms around Alex. Alex pulled away.
"We can't" Alex said. "I told you I'm not ready for that step."
"I know" Tyler said clearly bummed. "I get it. You know dating you causes me a lot of cold showers now I see why your marriage didn't work out."
"Funny" Alex faked a laugh. "Says the guy who won't be kissing me anytime soon."
Tyler laughed.
"God I love you" Tyler said.
"Yeah let's finish the wall" Alex said.
Tyler pulls off his shirt and Alex stares.
"Like what you see?" Tyler asked winking.
Alex blushed.
"Shut up" Alex said.
Tyler smirks.
"It's just so hot in here" Tyler said innocently.
"Oh it's very hot in here" Alex said biting his lip. He then threw his brush down and pulled Tyler into a passionate kiss.
"You still haven't done it?" Jude asked Alex on the phone. "Why the hell not? If I wasn't with Connor I'd do it with Tyler myself. I mean have you seen him?"
"I just I don't want to rush it" Alex said. "My longest relationship was with Connor. And looked how that turned out he left me for my best friend who I share a sister with."
"I thought were over this" Jude replied.
"We are" Alex said. "We are. I promise. I just don't want to get hurt again, Jude. I'm in love with Tyler. He's the first guy that has made me feel so... wanted. I don't want to lose him."
"So your scared if you do it he'll leave you?" Jude asked. "God you do have problems."
"Jerk" Alex replies.
"Bitch" Jude said.
"Home wrecker" Alex said.
Jude laughed.
"At least I put out" Jude laughed.
"Okay I get it" Alex said. "I'm being stupid about this. I just don't want to lose him."
"You won't" Jude said. "You love each other. You and him will be okay. Just have sex with your hot boyfriend."
Alex laughs.
"is your mom still mad?"Alex asked.
"She won't talk to me at all" Jude said. "I swear she can be so stupid."
"Well you did get married without a real ceremony" Alex said. "So glad there wasn't one. Because that would have been weird. Just imagine the whispers about me. 'Why is the ex here?'."
"She just needs to get over it" Jude said. "She thinks I made a mistake but marrying Connor was the best decision of my life."
"Aww" Alex said. "And just think all you had to do was split up my marriage just to get what you wanted."
Jude laughed.
"You are such a smartass" Jude laughed.
"Yeah and proud" Alex said. "But I have to go."
Alex hung up and Tyler walked over to him.
"Hey babe" Tyler smiled.
"Hey you" Alex said.
They kissed.
"So my family wants you over tonight" Tyler said.
Alex stared not knowing if he should.
Ava sat in the lounge with Jude, Connor and Taylor.
"You got some gigantic lips" Ava said to Connor. "I swear me and Peter could fit a house in there."
Jude stared confused.
"Haha" Connor replied. "Have you been watching Glee again?"
Ava rolled her eyes.
"How about we all do dinner tonight" Jude suggested. "Alex and Tyler already have plans. You guys in?"
"Me and Daria can't" Taylor said. "We're just going to spend a quiet night alone with the baby. It feels like my parents babysit too much."
"What about you Ava?" Jude asked.
"No" Connor said rudely. "It's bad enough my cousin is dating her. I don't want to spend time with her outside of work."
"CONNOR!" Jude snapped hitting him.
"What?" Connor asked. "She's a bitch."
Ava stared at Connor.
"Just because my cousin thinks your a good person doesn't mean I have too" Connor snapped. "To be honest my cousin is too good for you."
"Are you wearing a bra, Connor?" Ava asked rudely. "Because I swear your chest looks different today."
Ava smiled and walked off. Taylor laughed.
"I'm not wearing a bra!" Connor snapped. "She's just a bitch."
"She isn't that bad" Jude said.
That night, Alex rushed into the house and Tyler followed after him.
"Why the hell did you act so rude to my dad like that?" Tyler snapped. "Me and him are in a better place now. So what's with you?"
"I don't trust him" Alex snapped. "Every time I'm around him I get this feeling he's up to something!"
Tyler rolled his eyes.
"Your dad is a horrible person" Alex said.
"Oh yeah and your mom isn't?" Tyler snapped.
"My mom isn't a bad person!" Alex snapped. "It's your father we need to worry about!"
Tyler rolled his eyes.
"Maybe all of this is a mistake" Alex snapped. "Your probably just going to.."
"To what?" Tyler asked.
"Nothing."
"Do you think I'm going to leave you?" Tyler snapped. "Because I'm not!"
They then passionately kissed and Tyler pulled off his shirt they continued to kiss. Alex undone Tylers pants and they kissed.
Ava sat on the couch with Jude.
"What are you doing here Jude?" Ava asked.
"I wanted to apologize for what Connor said" Jude said. "He did call you a name."
"Yeah well I wasn't completely innocent" Ava said shrugging. "Besides it doesn't matter Connor doesn't like me and I don't like him."
"I think you and him could get along" Jude said.
"No we can't" Ava said bitterly. "I hate Connor. I hate you. And I hate Alex Harper."
"You don't even know Alex" Jude said confused.
"He killed my cousin!" Ava snapped.
Jude stared at Ava shocked.
"Wait a minute are you saying.." Jude said.
"Eli was my cousin" Ava said. "And Emily was too. You killed my family.."
Jude stared at Ava.
"Oh my god" Jude said. "And that's why your back? Because you want to get your revenge.."
"I'm not a mental patient" Ava said. "But just so you know what Alex did wasn't brave. What he did was weak. Eli didn't deserve to die!"
