I was surprised yet dissapointed that Austin wasnt the one chasing after me, but why is Alex here? What does he want. I stop walking and wait up for Alex.
he finally catches up to me .

"Thanks for waiting" he pants trying to catch his breath

i look at him confused "um...no problem, Alex... right?"

he smiles and nods.

i stand there awkwardly watching him closely, hes trying to catch his breath. As i stand there i cant help but notice his great feautures. his hair is messy but yet falls perfectly over his face, he has a smile that can light up a room and beautiful eyes. I'd be lying if i said he wasnt actually pretty attractive.

"can i help you?" i ask trying to break the awkward tension

"actually, i just wanted to make sure you were ok." he smiles warmly

what? why does he care how i feel? its not like ive ever talked to him before.

i look at him puzzled.

"not trying to be rude or anything but why do you care?" i ask

he looks at me with a blank expression.

"Austin seemed pretty devastated about what happened and-"

"i dont care how Austin feels, he deserves it!" i spat interrupting Alex.

Alex watches me closely, never taking his eyes off mine. I suddenly feel hypnotized by his lustful stare. Theres just something about his eyes that i like.
i finally snap out of it.

"and anyways it doesnt matter what Austin feels, whats done is done and theres no going back."

As the words escape my mouth, sadness takes over me, the thought of not being able to hold Austin's hand, not being able to kiss his lips or play with his hair. it makes me upset just thinking about it. I hold back the tears because i dont want Alex to tell Austin i cried.

Speaking of which, i think again. Did Austin send Alex to talk to me?

"Do you mind if i walk you home?" Alex asks

I look at him and he smiles warmly at me, i can see the anticipation in his eyes.

"yeah...sure." i respond


*******

As we walk, its pretty quiet and awkward, i have so many questions to ask Alex about Austin but the least i wanna do is think about Him right now.

As we pass the park 2 blocks away from my house i suddenly stop and look at Alex, he stops too and looks at me confused.

"what is it?" he asks

i shake my head "Alex, why are you here? Did Austin send you."

he gets a puzzled look "no. why do you think that?"

"Alex." i emphasize "you and i both know that we've never said one word to each other, why the sudden interest? Does Austin know you're here because if he sent you here to try to change my mind its not gonna happen."

he stands there taking in my words "Austin doesnt know im here, if he did he would probably kill me."

At this point i. am beyond confused, If Austin didnt send Alex here then whats the real reason hes here? he said he wants to know if i feel ok but i cant believe thats all he wants.

"Why would he kill you?" i ask worried

he chuckles "no, he wouldnt literally kill me but he would be pissed."

"why?" i ask

"because you were his girlfriend." he says softly

i laugh "you said it. i WAS his girlfriend, not anymore and even if i was im not his property therefore im free to talk to anyone i want and that shouldnt be his problem."

Alex laughs "you got a point there."

"What happened between you guys?" Alex asks

At that point all the humor is gone and the mood changes from happy to serious all over again.

"its okay if you dont wanna tell me." he adds

i sigh "didnt Austin tell you?"

alex shakes his head "no, he was pretty mad after school, i assumed you guys broke up but he didnt say much , he just went to talk to Tyler about some homework assignment and he went straight home."

i look at Alex and i question if i should tell him. strangely when i look into his eyes i feel sincerity, i feel like Alex is actually telling me the truth.

i finally give in.


"well, if you must know."

"um" my voice starts getting shaky

"Austin cheated on me with Harley. Harley sent me a picture of them kissing and your boy still had the nerve to deny it to my face."

I look down and play with my fingers and at that moment i feel the tears streaming down my face. a moment of silence passed and i suddenly feel Alex bring his hand to my face tilting my chin up to face him, he removes a strand of hair from my face and wipes the tears with his thumb.

"im sorry" he says softly

"why are you sorry?" i ask trying to stop the tears

"im sorry that Austin was stupid enough to let go of someone as sweet and beautiful as you for someone like Harley."

Strangely, that made my heart feel a little better, Alex looks at me, still carresing my face with his gentle touch. i cant help but smile.

"can i continue walking you home?" he asks in a soft voice

"and please dont cry, Austin may be my boy and everything but hes not worth it, hes a jerk"

i smile and nod.

We continue walking and it starts getting windier, i look up at the sky and its a misty grey. it looks like its gonna rain. i didnt bring a jacket so i hug myself trying to provide myself with some body heat.

"you cold?" Alex asks

i nod

he instantly removes his sweater and puts it around my shoulders "here, take my sweater."

i look at him concerned. "but then you'll be cold."

he laughs "im a man, i can handle this weather."

i laugh at his cocky comment and we continue walking.

*****

When we finally reach my house i see that my mom isnt there, again...what a shocker (sarcasm).

i stand in the porch and look at Alex.

"thank you." i say softly with a smile

"it was my pleasure." he smiles back

"oh, here, take your sweater." i say removing the sweater he lent me

As i hold it out for him he takes it and puts it back on my shoulders. "keep it."

i blush and hug the sweater around me.

"i should probably go in now, it looks like its gonna rain and i dont want you getting sick."

I dig around my bag looking for my keys while walking towards the door.

"wait!"

i turn around and see Alex standing right in front of me.

"do you mind if i get your number, id love to see you again."

Oh my god!! whats happening here. My brain is spinning indecisive of what to do.
i just do what my instincts tell me.

"sure" i smile as i take out a piece of paper and pen from my bag and write my number on it handing it back to him.

"thanks" he smiles "ill text you."

i nod and smile at him.

Alex leans in to hug me, and i lean in hugging him back. As i fall to his embrace i feel his breath on my face. i pull my face away but leave my arms around him. He looks at me as i to him. A smile on both of our faces. Just as were about to pull away he leans down to my face and leaves a gentle kiss on my cheek.

We pull away smiling and i head back to my door. i grab my keys and unlock the door.
i turn around giving him one last smile.

"see you later michaela."

"bye Alex, thank you"

And with that Alex walks off and i go in my house.
