Alessia's POV:
I woke up in the outfit I wore last night. I was in Corey's sweater. Last night was great and it was worth getting up and sneaking out at 12:00. I felt bad for being mad at Corey because of the stress he's going through with his parents. I could see when he talked about it he tried to act tough about it but I could tell he was hurting.

I told Emily, Kristen and Caroline everything that happened. "Maybe he does like you." Caroline said. "Umm I don't think so."
"He gave you his sweater maybe he's starting to like you."
"No I don't think so. I appreciate you guys for thinking that but it's not true." I scoffed. Corey likes any "hot" girl he sees. How the hell would they know? I still wondered if he and Connie were gonna get anywhere. Hopefully not. "He likes Connie but he's not sure if he's gonna go for her."
"He won't cause of you." I honesty didn't understand what they were saying. Yeah he flirted with me but he flirts with a lot of girls. That's just Corey.

Later on I was interrupted by Johnny. "Alessia?"
"Hi Johnny."
"Have you seen Corey?"
"No why?"
"I think he skipped fourth but I don't know where he went." It wasn't surprised that he skipped it was surprising because that's Phys. Ed, his favourite class. "That's weird." I said. "I'll stop by his house on my way home and see if he's there."
"Yeah do that and tell me what he's up to. He seemed quiet today." What the hell? Corey quiet? Something definitely must be up.

I was just approaching his house. I knew he was home because his red car was in the drive way. I rang the doorbell twice and there was no answer. I turned the door knob and it wasn't locked. "Hello?" I called stepping inside. There was no answer. It was quiet but I knew Corey was home. What the hell was he doing? "Corey?" I said looking around the house to find him. I decided to check upstairs. "Corey..." he finally came out of a room. "Hey." He said. "Hey? What the hell are you doing? You scared me why weren't you answering?"

 "Hey? What the hell are you doing? You scared me why weren't you answering?"

"Sorry I was doing stuff."
"Johnny was looking for you he said you skipped fourth."
"I got busy." I knew he was lying. "He said you were quiet today and you left the door unlocked. I was worried that and ax murder came in here or something." I said taking a deep breath. "I got a lot on my mind right now. Sorry if I scared you."
"Well can you tell me what you're doing?"
"I just found some of my dad's old shit and I wanted to look at it before my mom and Cindy got home." I saw that he had a box of papers scattered all over the floor. I kneeled in front of him on the floor. "Remember you can't tell anyone about this." He said looking at me with his blue eyes. "I promise." I said. He stared at me for a few moments and went back to the papers. "So what is all this?"
"Just divorce papers and records. He was a drinker and secretly got back into it."
"I'm sorry." I said reading the papers. "I don't care."
"Is that why they divorced?"
"Yeah, there were quite a few reasons why." I really felt bad for him. "I also found out he took some money from my mom. He's fake about it so he can see Cindy."
"How much did he take?"
"Almost 600."
"For what?!"
"I don't know himself I guess."
"Oh my god." I said stunned. He sighed and ran his hands through his hair. He was hurting and didn't want to admit it.

"Lets put this away

"Lets put this away." I said. "I think you've had enough of this for today. He didn't say anything, in his mind agreed. We put the papers back in the box and he put it back where he found it. "Come to my house for dinner tonight." I said. "Really?"
"Yes you need to get out." I insisted. "Let me just tell my parents you can come over in an hour."
"Yeah I'll be there thanks." He said pulling me into an unexpected hug. I hugged him and didn't want to let go so I waited for him to. Not to mention he smelled really good. "See ya soon." He smirked making butterflies in my stomach.

He came over at around 4:00. He seemed a little scared of my dad and it was funny because he was trying hard. My mom really liked him. My dad surprisingly didn't embarrass me and seemed to like Corey too.

Later on we watched a movie. "So why's your dad so protective when it comes to boys?" He asked. "I don't know maybe it's a Spanish thing but from what I know it's because at my old school in Vancouver there was this guy that really liked me but I didn't even talk to him and was stalking me. He wouldn't take no for an answer."
"Who would wanna take a no from you?" Holy shit he was such a flirt! He was so confusing. "Ha ha so funny I forgot to laugh." I could feel myself blushing. "This guy was really creepy."
"Don't worry I'll scare off the next guy that does that." Corey was killing me. "Oh so what like my personal body guard?"
"Yeah if you can stand me being around you enough." Oh my god why was he flirting with me?! What about Connie?!

Just as about I was about to go to chemistry the next day, I was stopped by Jenna. "Hey Alessia." She said in the fakest way possible. "Uh, hi." I said wondering why she was talking to me.
"Could you do me a favour?" She said cocking her head. I looked at her oddly. "And stay the hell away from Corey?" She smiled sarcastically. "Excuse me?" I said caught off guard. "Yeah that's all I ask of you."
"Um why?"
"Cause we want to get back together and you're in the way." She said straight up. What the hell? Get back together? What was she talking about? "Umm sorry but you can't tell me what to do and Corey's one of my good friends."
"Oh please. It's so obvious you like him." How the hell did she know? It wasn't that obvious was it? "I think you should be more concerned about Connie Plairmo." I said walking away. "I'll deal with that one later I just wanted to make sure I was clear to you."
"Whatever I don't know who the hell you think you are." I said starting to loose it.
"Woah what's going on?" Corey said walking up beside me. "Nothing." She smirked walking away. "What's wrong? You okay?"
"Yeah." I said rolling my eyes. "You didn't tell me you planned on getting back with her..." I said really confused and disappointed. "What, no. Did she say that?"
"Yeah she implied it."
"Well that's fuckin bullshit it's not happening. You sure you're okay Les?" He said leaning against the wall crossing his arms. " Yeah, I just don't know how you dated a bitch." I said without regret. He was caught off by my comment. He didn't say anything for a moment. "What?" I said turning around raising my eyebrows. "Nothing." He said smiling. I don't know if he was just impressed that I had the balls to tell her off or if he agreed with what I said. Maybe both.
