* Thomas' POV *
Alice took my hand and pulled me down the path to the door. After unlocking it, she signalled to me to be quiet so we crept up the stairs without a sound. When we got to her bedroom, I could see that most of the furniture was a Toulouse style and the walls had flowers on it.
"Nice bedroom."
"Thanks."
"Nothing like my messy one."
"Haha, that's because you can't be bothered to make your bed and pick up the stuff on your floor."
"Very true."
I decided to take a look at some of the Xbox games stacked up on the floor next to the drawer that had her TV on top.
I picked one up and raised my eye brow at her.
"You have a lot of shooting games."
"What did you expect? Just dance and cooking mama?"
"...maybe..."
"Ha! No way."
"Cool."
"The guys and I sometimes play against each other on Thursday, you should join..."
Alice's eyes dropped to the ground and her face was sullen when she talked of the guys, reminding her of Zack and what had happened.
"Come here."
"What am I going to do Thomas? I'm so shocked and confused and...and...ugh!"
"Shhhh, everything's going to be okay."
"Is it? Is it really? I hurt him Thomas, I hurt him bad."
"None of this is your fault, you can't help what you feel for him."
"I know but, I dunno, maybe there was something I could have done to make it hurt less."
"I doubt it, but still, I'm sure Zack will get over it in time."
"But what about when the group hangs out and stuff, it'll be weird and I-I don't even know if I can look at him without seeing the man I just rejected!"
"There's nothing more we can do but give him time to think and heal, I'm almost positive that he will be fine after time."
"Almost?"
"Well yeh, it's hard to get over a girl like you."
"You sound like your experienced."
"For some time, I tried to get over my feelings for you because I didn't understand them and I was...well...scared."
It was hard for me to admit to a girl that I was scared. Normally I always kept my guard up, not letting anyone see who I really was but Alice had already made me open up, so there was no point in acting defensive when she was alone with me.
"Oh..."
"But I'm glad my feelings stayed, no matter how hard I tried to not think about you, I would always fail. I'm happy that happened though other wise I wouldn't be here with you now."
"True."
"Very. Now come on, why don't we play Call of Duty?"
"Yes! That ones my favourite! Though, I'll totally beat your ass."
Immediately Alice brightened up and was back to her normal self. However, I could see that she was still hurting behind the lively act she put up.
We played against each other on Call of Duty till it was almost midnight. On our last game, we were at a tie and were about to find each other.
