"Damn, well aren't you a hot little something..." that was one of the last thing I remembered...

I woke up in the middle on the floor, people surrounding me. "DON YOU FÜCKING DARE TOUCH HER LIKE THAT AGAIN!" I look to my right, that voice sounds familiar... it's alex! I looked at where Alex's shouts are coming from and heard grunts and groans along with it. Alex was beating someone up... who was it?

I got up and ran towards alex "NO ALEX WHAT ARE YOU DOING STOP!" I grabbed onto his arm and looked at him. I've never seen Alex like this before...

"Alex please..." Alex looked at me, his eyes filled with pain and hurt. "Mads... he was touching you! He almost raped you!" Alex screamed and pointed at the man. "Wait... what? " I felt my eyes tearing up, I almost... i almost got raped tonight? I felt a pair of soft hands wiping away the tears that I didn't know was falling off my face.

"Alex..." I whispered looking down at the down trying to control my tears. "Yes mads ?" I couldn't look at Alex, I felt dirty... that man covered in bruises on the floor... he touched me... "take me home... please" I was on the edge of bursting into tears. "Hey hey hey mads.... it's alright I'll take you home" Alex whispered kneeling infront of me. I felt violated. Exposed. Scared. Helpless.

Alex threw one last punch at the man's face, "let's go malady" I wrapped my arm around his arm, our fingers tangled together and walked out the party.

When we got in the car I couldn't hold it in anymore, I burst out crying and curled up to a ball. I felt Alex's hand on my chin and tilted my head to look at him. "Mads... please don't cry" he looked at me with such concern and care. How could I not I thought... if Alex hadn't been there i would've... would've been raped... by a man would won't give 2 damns about it. I wrapped my arms around Alex's neck and gave him a tight hug, he hugged me back and I can feel him smiling against my neck. I loved him, but yet he's not mine.

It's around 1:00 in the morning, I didn't want to go back to my house so we drove to Alex's house, Alex's parents were out of town for the week so we had the house all to ourselves.

We walked into Alex's house and I plopped myself on the couch, sinking into it and not giving a damn. Alex walked into the kitchen to grabbed 2 Diet Coke and some snacks as he known I loved to eat midnight snacks. I was feeling really uncomfortable in my tight dress so I squirmed around trying to get comfortable until I felt something hit my face. "Go up and change. " I took whatever Alex threw me and looked down, it was a pair of sweatpants and one of Alex's hoodie.
I'm 5'3 and Alex being the 6'0 height he is he's stuff doesn't really fit me.

I walked up to Alex's room and took off my dress and makeup, I threw on the sweat pants and hoodies and put my hair into a messy bun

I walked up to Alex's room and took off my dress and makeup, I threw on the sweat pants and hoodies and put my hair into a messy bun. Who am I trying to impress? Alex? Nah... he's seen me in everything before, well not everything but you know what I mean.

I walked back downstairs to see a shirtless
Alex sitting on the couch and stuffing his face with popcorn and chips. I shook my head and smiled at alex. "So what do U wanna watch?" Alex says and puts his arm around my shoulder. I grabbed a handful of chips "how about the notebook?" I looked at Alex he was frowning a little since we always watched that movie. "Whattttt again? Really Madeline? It's like the 600th time we've seen it " Alex whined like a little kid. When would he ever grow up I thought to myself.

"Alex..." I looked at the tv then looked back at Alex, his ice blue eyes staring into my eyes, " thank you... " i continued. "What for mads?" Alex turns his head back to the tv. "For protecting me... and caring for me for so many years.." Alex shifted so he was facing me. "Mads... ur like a little sister to me, we've been together since... I don't know, forever! I love u with all my heart and I'll never stop caring for u ok? " I heart skipped a beat at his words, I loved him... but is it worth the risk? Telling him my feeling and risk losing our friendship? No... it's ok...

"Thank you... I love you Alex" I have alex a tight hug "I love U too" Alex said and kissed my forehead. I wished that time just stopped right there. I looked at Alex, I couldn't control my self... i... I kissed alex.

Alex pulled away he looked shocked, confused, mixed emotions I couldn't tell what he was thinking... what was he thinking? Just when I was wondering through Alex's though, Alex pulled me in and kissed me back. I was shocked... after a couple seconds alex pulled away. "Um... mads I'll see you tomorrow... I think I better go" Alex stood up and headed for the door. "Wait! Alex why don't u stay the night?" Alex turned around "mads I don't think that's a great idea right now..." he walked out and shut the door behind him... leaving me by myself, alone, scared, and confused.
