Someone Better

Chapter 3

"What are you doing here?" Alex said as she saw John in her kitchen

"I'm here to tell you I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Alex. I didn't mean to hurt you but you need to see where I'm coming from. You moved when I tried to kiss you. Do you not love me?" John said starting to cry

Alex felt bad, seeing the boy she loved crying in front of her. She wanted to pull him into a hug and let him know everything was going to be okay. Deep down she knew it wasn't going to be okay.

"A-are y-you going to answer?" John said under his breath

"I do love you. I just I-I just feel like we aren't really happy." Alex instantly regretting saying it as soon as she did

John started crying harder. He tried to say something but nothing came out. Alex just went up to him and hugged him. She hugged him like she never wanted to let go. She then realized  that even though her heart has been broken she just broke someone's heart. Having that feeling made her heart hurt. Being the reason why someone is sad and crying killed her in some way.

Alex pulled away from the tight embrace only enough that their noses were touching. She decided to forget the feelings she had for Mark even though the thought of that hurt her, she knew that John needs her.

John closed the small gap between them by connecting their lips. Alex at first didn't know what to do, she then started moving her lips with his.

John was the first to pull away. He soon realized that he did truly love Alex and this why it nearly killed him to see her crying and the thought of her being with someone else hurt him. He knew she deserves better than him but he also couldn't see her with anyone else.

Alex felt really guilty about kissing Mark. She loved kissing him but in that moment she forgot she was with John. She wanted to tell him but she didn't want to hurt him anymore that what she already has.

John and Alex cuddled up on the couch and watched a movie. He then noticed that Alex was asleep. So he lifted her up and carried her up to her room. He tucked her him and gave her a kiss on her forehead.

Alex woke up when he kissed her head  but she just didn't want to say anything. She realized she does really love him. They do have problems but every couple has problems.

The Next Day
Alex woke up earlier than what she normally does. She had a gut feeling today that something bad was going to happen. She let that feeling slip away.

Alex got ready and rode the bus to school. When she arrived at school she saw a very unhappy Lisa.

"What is with you?" Alex laughed out

"Did you and John make up?" Alex could tell this was the bad thing that was going to happen.

"Yeah" Alex breathed out

"Well I'm going to be having a conversation with him later." Lisa snapped o

"Wait what are you going to do?" Alex said in panic

"I am going to make him appreciate you. Alex you deserve all the love in the world. He needs to realize that you won't always stay after all the fights and tears. You have been together for a year and I have never heard him say that he loves you." Lisa was very mad that John didn't value Alex

"Ok, well just don't do anything to get him mad at me." Alex said so quickly that Lisa could barely hear her

"Don't worry about a thing." Lisa said pulling Alex into a hug

Lisa's pov

I don't really understand Alex. I do but I don't. I know she loves John but I also know how hurt she has been by him.

During lunch I found John and I decided to give him a piece of my mind.

"John can I talk to you? It is about Alex." With that being said he got up from the table and followed to an empty room.

"What is it that you need to talk about?" He said sounding like he was  annoyed

"What is going on with you and Alex?" As soon as I said it his eyes fell to the floor

"I don't know I just think she cares anymore." He said it under his breath I could barely hear him

"You don't she cares? I have seen her lock herself in a bathroom so you wouldn't know you hurt her. I have seen her become so upset when you hug other girls. She lets very few people in. She is scared that you are going to leave her. She was having a mental break down yesterday and all you did was walk away. She loves you so much I know she does. That girl with give up everything for you. I personally think she deserves someone that will give her all the love in the world but she decided to love you. She chooses to be with you every single day you are together. I have never once hear you say you love her but then again that is none of my business. You have the nerve to say 'you don't think she cares' you are really blind then. I have not seen someone so in love with another person before! You need to start valuing her. You don't meet a girl like Alex every day she is truly something special." At this point I was just really mad.I don't if I hurt his feelings I'm just trying to stand up for Alex

"I-I didn't know that happened."his eyes were still glued to the floor

"Yeah there is a lot of  things you don't know." It made me made that he wasn't looking at me

"I am sorry." His voice cracked.

"Don't tell me that. Tell Alex that." I was over the situation so I left the room leaving John in the middle of an empty class room
