After 2 months of being together, Justin and Ali decided that they were going to take their relationship to the next level. One day, before their choir concert, Justin told Ali there was a bridge. "My friend was telling me that we can go do it there. That way we can't be seen." Ali was nervous, but agreed. They walked down the street, to the bridge, and had sex. One thing was for sure, Ali didn't know what to feel afterwards. When Justin was having his way with her, he said,"Ali, I love you" Ali stood and just shook her head slightly so Justin wouldn't notice. She was beginning to be buried in her thoughts again. "What does that mean? I mean, how many guys say that during sex? Isn't the sex the only thing on their mind at that time?" She was thinking very deeply into the event. Later on, she started thinking to herself, "Maybe he really does love me. This was the first time we've had sex. Well, I guess I'll just wait and see what happens." Ali then began to barely start noticing things about Justin she ignored before. One day, while on the risers in choir, Ali looked over at Justin. She smiled, thinking it would be a normal, cute, flirting moment. But Ali sees Justin's hand on Britney's leg. And not just in a friendly manner either. He was caressing her leg with his hand and biting his lip. He looked straight at Ali, noticing she saw him. He continued with the action, and Ali began to fill her veins with lava. She was infuriated with what Justin was doing. After class had ended, Justin walked up to Ali and wrapped his arms around her as if nothing had happened. Ali threw his arms off her and said in anger,"Don't fucking touch me." Justin was in surprise when Ali said that. He says,"What did I do?" Ali gives him her "Are you fucking serious right now?" look and replied,"You know damn well what you did." Ali's tone begins to get more aggressive with anger. Justin looks at her in confusion while Ali walks away. Tears streamed down her face because she couldn't believe she could've fallen so hard, yet it was just too good to be true. Later on, Ali and Justin were texting.

Justin: So, we need to talk :/
Ali: Yes, we do
Justin: I don't think this is going to work out
Ali: What do you mean?
Justin: I don't think we should be together. I think we're better off as friends :/

Ali could feel her heart crack in her chest. That was it. The first guy she loved had just dumped her. That weekend, Ali poured her heart and soul into the tears on her pillow. She didn't get up for anything. She slept her entire weekend away, she was so depressed.
