As i walked in my bedroom my brain was spinning with different thoughts.

Alex is Austin's best friend, but then again what do i care, its not like im dating alex. he just walked me home and gave me a friendly kiss on the cheek. A ghost of a smile appeared on my face as i recall Alex's lips on my face. "NO! Snap out of it michaela."

I dont wanna cause Alex any problems with Austin, but Austin shouldnt care if i hang out with Alex, he has Harley and im free to talk to whoever i please.
I decide to get in the shower to free my mind of wandering thoughts.

As i stand in the shower, i feel the steamy water drip down my body washing me clean. As i shower i cant help but think of Austin and how hurt i am about what he did. I feel so used and disgusted. no wonder he didnt want the paparazzi to leak the picture of us kissing, this was probably all a scam to mess with Harley. Although now that i think about it, what ever happened to that picture? i never knew if Austin got it back. Eh, who cares anymore, its not like it matters. I decide to use my time in the shower to think about lots of stuff. The more i try to forget Austin, the more i think of him, his face, his eyes, his smile, his lips, i cant get rid of the thought. My brain is overwhelmed with thoughts of Austin and at that point i feel myself begin to cry, i didnt wanna cry for Austin but the more i think about it, i havent been this hurt ever, except for when my dad passed away but then again what was i thinking, why didnt i see this coming? My tears fall to the floor and drain away with the water. I know Austin is the one who screwed up but i cant help but blame myself for this. i quickly wash my face trying to wash the tears and i step out of the shower.

Once im dry i put on some black leggins and a loose baby blue sweater.

I decide to let my hair air dry so i just leave it down. I still cant help but think of Austin. ugh i need to get my minf off of him.

i decide to jump into bed and play candy crush on my phone, that should distract me.

As im passing a few levels i am distracted by a text message from Austin.

From: Austin <3

(i should really change his name in my contacts to lying douchebag!)

'Can we talk?'

my heart beats faster as i debate wether to reply or not. my fingers start shaking and doing that little dance they do when you dont know what to reply.

'NO!' my sub conscious tells me.

Why should i listen to what he has to say?!

i decide to close the message, ignoring him and i go back to my game.

Shortly afterwards i get another message, but from an unfamiliar number, i open the message and read its content.

'Hey :) '

i get a confused look on my face as i respond

'Whos this?'

almost instantly i get a reply

'Oh, sorry, its Alex :).'

Wow! that was fast, i didnt think he would actually text me but in some odd way, it makes me kind of happy. i decide to save his number in my contacts before i reply.

To: Alex :)

'haha tell me about it :/'
________

From: Alex :)

'hey, well i was wondering if you would like to get some ice cream or something? :)'
________

My face goes blank as i read the message. Why is Alex doing this? I just find it so weird that out of nowhere this is happening.

Should i go? I know i still have all my feelings left for Austin but im not about to sit at home and cry all day, like Alex said, hes not worth it.

i quickly repond to Alex

______
To: Alex :)

'sure :)'
______

From: Alex :)

'great, ill be at your house to pick you up in ten minutes'
______

As i close the message i find myself nervous, but why? its not like i have any feelings whatsoever for alex, i just met him, and like i said i still have all feeling left for Austin but i cant let him know that after what he did. I decide to jump out of bed and put on some beige ugg boots and apply a bit of mascara.

As i finish the last touches on my eyelashes i hear my phone ring. i see that its alex and i instantly answer.

"hello"
- "hey michaela"
"hey alex."
- "im right outside your house."
"okay, ill be right down."

i grab my purse and keys and head down to meet Alex.

As i walk out the door i see Alex standing outside black mustang on his phone.
He finally looks up and notices me as he puts his phone in his pocket.
As i walk closer he opens the car door and gestures i walk in first. i walk as fast as i can because its still slightly raining outside.

as he gestures i simply smile and sit in the passenger side. he closes the door and walks around to his side, he jumps in and closes the door.

He starts driving off and he instantly starts talking to me

"dont you just love the rain?" he asks sarcastically

"i actually do." i smile back

"What!? are you crazy!" he asks astounded as he keeps his eyes on the road

"no. i love the cold weather."

"really, im not a fan of this weather." he laughs

"weenie." i tease

he chuckles, "hey, we established earlier that i am a man and i can handle this weather!"

"sure you can." i roll my eyes

As he continues driving i let out a giggle.

he glances at me "whats so funny?"

i shake my head "so let me get this straight, you hate the cold weather, yet its super cold outside and you wanna go get ice cream?"

he glances at me again as he flashes me a cute smile.

"you're right, how about we go get a coffee instead?"

"sounds good to me." i respond.

The rest of the ride to the coffee shop was great, we talked about lots of things and along the way i realized how much Alex and i had in common.

******

We finally arrive to the coffee shop and as expected, Alex opened my door and helped me out of the car. This gesture reminded me so much of Austin. my smile dissapeared as i thought of him.

"is everything alright michaela?" alex questioned

i look at him snapping out of my thoughts "oh, yeah, im fine."

"are you sure?" he asks again

"alex, im fine." i lie

i take a seat as he goes and orders us cappucinos.

i look around the coffee shop and i see a few familiar faces that ive seen at school. i decide to just play candy crush until alex comes back.

As im distracted on my phone i randomly hear someone call my name

"Michaela!"

i look up and i see no sign of anyone who may know me enough to call out my name. i turn to look at Alex but hes still standing in line. i just shake my head and go back to my game. As i continue playing i hear someone call my name again.

"Michaela."

I instantly look up and this time i see it. i drop my phone on the table as i see Austin walking over to my table.
