Maybe

Chapter 5

Alex's POV

After listening to Shannon and giving her words of comfort, I pulled out of her driveway and turned on the main road.
I feel the tug of the jacket falling off of my shoulder.
Johnnie
Without thinking, I turn the car around. I pull off the main road and head down the warned out asphault.
The black car's in the driveway.
I run out and sprint to the driveway.
I knock on the door and wait.
Those beautiful, lined eyes greeted me.

"Alex," He questioned.
"What are you doing here? How's Shannon?"

"She's okay now," I said, finding my breath.

"That's good," He said, slightly smiling.
"Want to come in?"

"I should probably get home,"

"Oh,okay."

"But, do you want to hang out tonight, say around 9:00?"

"Sounds like a da-err, plan"
He said.

"Great pick me up?"

Johnnies POV

That night I was getting ready to hang out with Alex. I showered and dressed. Put on some eyeliner, and combed my hair into my face.

I'm on my way driving to her house and when I finally arrive, I pull into her driveway.

I grab the single rose I got for her and stepped out of the car.

When I stepped to her door way, I look through the door window and notice.

A tall, thick framed boy.
Dressed in black jeans and a white tee shirt.
Standing behind him was Alex, her back faced towards me.
He kept placing his hands on her shoulders and pulling her in closer.
From what I could see, she wasn't pulling away.
In shock, the rose falls from my fingertips to the ground of my feet.
I slowly step backwards, eyes still fixed on the couple.
My speed picks up and before I know it, I'm peeling out and headed home.

Tears form in my eyes.

Alex wasn't mine. But I still had feelings for her.

Alex's POV

"Stop, stop," I said with a giggle.

"Come on Babe," Jared explained.

He leans in and kisses my lips, softly then all at once.
I kiss him back, not knowing how I felt.

Jared was a guy I met at a diner about a week ago.
He kissed me the night I met him. And that was also the last night I saw him.
He showed up asking for more.

I could tell he wanted the kiss to get further.
He ran his hands down my back.
I pulled away.

"Jared stop."

"Come on Alex, isn't this what you wanted?"

I just wanted to feel loved is the thing.

He pulled me back in, kissing my neck.
That's when I saw the headlights pull out.

Johnnie.

"Jared I think you should go," I said pushing him away.

"What,"

"Go."

I made my way across the living room, and opened the door signaling for him to exit.

"This isn't over," He said and left.

I shortly followed him down the driveway and turned to sit down on the bench outside of my doorway.

I heavily breathed and rested my head on the palms of my hands, being supported by my knees.

I looked up and noticed an icy rose laying on the ground.

It must've been from Johnnie.

I take my phone from my back pocket and dial his number.

No answer.

Again.

Still no answer.

I'm going over there. I thought.

And so I did.

"Alex!" Bryan exclaimed.

"Where's Johnnie?"

"In his room," He signaled and let me in.

Without knocking I slam the door open.

And there sits Johnnie, head shot up from string at the ground.

Teary eyed.

"Alex."

I ran over, scrunched down and pressed my lips against his.
Soft, gentle at first.
I fell deeper and deeper into the kiss.
His lip rings grinding against my bare lips.

Opening and closing our mouths in perfect harmony.

I could feel his tears from his cheeks rub against mine.

His skin was so cold.

I pulled him up so we were both standing, still lip locked.

Pulling him closer and closer in.

His chest pressed against mine.

My fingers were now running through his hair.

His trailing up my back.

A slight moan escaped his mouth, gasping for air.

Johnnies POV

What was happening.
She just shows up and here we are, smashed against eachother.

I didn't know how to feel.

Angry from the boy with her. Deeply lovestruck from this very moment.

Our lips rolled together.

I turned her around, a smile forming at her lips yet still working with mine.

I cradled her head in my hand, letting her fall back, me following.

It got more intense.
I crawled on top of her, still had my lips against hers.

I could feel her lifting up my shirt.

"A-Alex!" I gasped, in between breathes.

"I-I can't." I whispered.

My eyes were beginning to sting again.

I sit up. Alex still on her back. Lips parted, stuttering. Not sure what to say.

I pull my shirt down and face the opposite way.

"I'm sorry."

Alex sat up.
"What for?"

"I-I. Can't do this. Who was he?"

"Who was who?"
She asked, trying to play dumb.

"I think I,...I think I need to be alone."
I whispered.

And with one swift move, Alex stood up.

"Johnnie, please."

She leaned in closer, lips reaching for mine.

I turned my head.

"I can't."

And with that swift move, she bolted out the door.

Alexs POV

"What's going on?" Bryan screamed after me.

I ran out. Still unsure.

I pulled out as fast as I could.

My eyes weren't red, nor on the verge of crying.

I picked up my phone, and dialed.

"Jared?"
