He Loves Me Not *Under Editing*

Intruders

We both bolt out of bed to see two women standing at the door.  I immediately recognize one as Laurie and I assume the other is Alex's mother.  Laurie is staring at me in shock and I return the face. His mother, on the other hand, is acting like she sees this every night, and maybe she does.  No, I can't think like that.  He isn't that type of person.  Laurie steps into the room and opens her mouth, "Alex, I need to talk to you."

"Well, I don't want to talk to you."

"Alex, please?  I'm sorry.  It was a mistake."

"Were you on drugs?"

"No."

"Were you drunk?"

"No."

"Then it wasn't a mistake.  Mom, why did you let her in?"  His mother holds up her hands in surrender. I lean back and cover my face with a pillow.  I let out a small moan as my boyfriend starts up again.  "Listen, I want nothing to do with you.  My GIRLFRIEND and I were trying to sleep.  Now leave and don't ever talk to me again."

Laurie growls and leaves the room.  It is at this point that his mom decides now is a good time to speak up, "So, what happened between you two?"

"She slept with Tony."

"Oh, damn.  And who is this?"

"This is my new girlfriend Cydney.  I passed out after you guys left and she found out.  She stayed here and didn't trust me to be alone so she is spending the night."  His mother accepted that with a nod of her head.  She asked me to call her Amanda as she walked out.  Alex laid back down and wrapped me up in his arms again.  By the time this whole debacle was over, it was two thirty in the morning.  We were both exhausted at our late night visitors that we simultaneously fell asleep as we hit the pillow.

I woke up at five.  He was still asleep and I didn't want to wake him.  I tried to unwrap myself from his strong grip.  I ended up flopping around like a fish for ten minutes.  All the commotion woke him up and he released me.  I got up and grabbed my clothes.  I got dressed quickly and went back into his room.  I walked in and he was in his boxer shorts.  I shielded my eyes from his lower half and stumbled into his desk.  I grabbed my hip with his clothes still in my hands and he came over to see if I was alright.

I told him to put these on first.  He slipped them on quickly.  I lifted my shirt up to see if it was bleeding.  Luckily there was just a bruise.  I grabbed his letterman jacket and left the room.  I was up before his parents left and his mom, oops, Amanda asked if I would like to borrow a toothbrush and a hairbrush.  I kindly accepted and she showed me to her bathroom where she handed me the supplies. 

She checked her watch and darted out of the room.  I finished getting ready for school and met him downstairs.  I checked the stove clock and saw that it was only six in the morning.  We still had an hour before we had to be at school and it only took ten minutes from his house.  "Do we need to stop by your house for anything?"

"Uh, my phone is dead but other than that no."

"Do you need it?"

"If you don't want me to be killed then yes."

"Why would you be killed?"

"I- uh have a following."

"Elaborate."

"I have faithful followers that look forward to a daily update."

"Do you want to just use my phone?"

"Sure."  I logged onto my account from his phone.  I quickly snapped a picture of Alex when he was off guard and wrote a caption under it.  I told them everything that happened after yesterday and that I would update once my phone was charged.  I even posted about Laurie.  "So, how did you sleep last night beautiful?"

"It was actually the best sleep I have had in awhile."

"Ditto."  I looked at his face and saw his dimples.  My knees grew weak and I sat down at the breakfast bar.  I signed out and handed his phone back to him.  He logged back into his account and his phone instantly dinged.  "Wait.  You are he_loves.me_not?"

"You follow me?"

"I had always wondered who you were."

"That is interesting."

"I should've known it was you."

"Why?"

"Well, there were always pictures of me playing football and they looked like they came from the place you usually sat.  You really like me huh?"

"Liked you."

"You don't anymore?"

"Something like that."  The clock soon showed seven and we got into the death machine.  He drove to school and once we got out Chyna ran up to us tugging Cam along by the wrist.  "Holy crap you guys have to hear what is going on!"

"What's going on?"

"Laurie is telling the whole school that you two had sex last night."

"That whore!"  Those words came out of my mouth.  Speaking of the devil, she walked by and I grabbed her elbow.  "You little bitch.  You know that isn't true.  And if it was that would mean that you were watching it.  Which makes you a sick little fuck.  You chose to ruin the relationship with the best guy you will ever get.  Meaning you have no right to take it out on someone that was there for him when you hurt him.  He could have died yesterday and you would have never known!  But little Laurie doesn't care about anyone but herself!"

During my speech, we had gathered a little following.  They all oohed when I finished and Laurie looked at me with pure shock on her face.  Alex stood in front of me and looked down at his ex.  Before he can speak she did, "I didn't know it could talk."

"THAT IS ENOUGH! DO YOU HEAR ME WHORIE!  AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED THAT IS YOUR NAME.  YOU WILL LEAVE US ALONE.  YOU BROUGHT THIS ALL ON YOURSELF. GO AWAY."  Before she left, she grabbed his face and kissed it with a vengeance.  I leaped out from behind Alex to give her a piece of my mind, or fist.  He roughly shoved her off and held me back.  

Chyna got in my face and tried to calm me down.  Cameron helped hold me back and Alex figured out the only thing that would calm me down.  He turned me around and held me to his chest.  He bent down and kissed the top of my head.  I held the fabric of his shirt in my hands and pushed my head even deeper into his chest.  

We went into class and Ms. Anderson knew what had happened.  She gave me a high five for not getting suspended and thanked Alexander.  Laurie didn't show up.  The rest of the day passed by smoothly until we got to lunch.  Alex and I had agreed that we needed to establish rules for our relationship.  The main one we agreed on was that neither of us would use the word 'love' until we were sure that was how we felt about the other person.  

Both of us felt that the word was overused and it shouldn't be.  He dropped me off at home after school was over.  So to pass the time I TA'd in his classes.  I got home and was shocked to find my mom was already home.  She sat me down at the dining table and I filled her in on what happened.  I told her everything, from Laurie at two a.m. to lunch.  After that, I went to my room to do my homework and charge my phone.  I went to upload my new update to see that four people had followed me.  Ten minutes later, twenty more people did the same thing.  Most of them were people from school, but the ones that weren't I recognized as Alex's followers.  Before I went to bed I texted him wishing him a good night and he did the same.
