Alexandra's P.O.V.
I woke up with a start, my heart beating fast and my hands sweaty. I looked around and realized that I was in my room. Was it all a dream? I couldn't have imagined being in the hospital; I touch my forehead and sigh when I feel the stitches.
The last thing I remembered was being in a car with Aaron and Cameron. Did I fall asleep in there car? Oh my god! What if I snored really loud or drooled on myself. What will they think of me now if I did?
I shake my head trying to not think about how embarrassing that car ride was. I find my phone sitting on my bedside table and click the home button to see the time. When the screen lights up there is a text message from an unknown number. I go into my messages to read what it says.
if ur wondering I brought u home and put u in ur bed since u feel asleep in my car. Btw u r really cute when ur sleeping.
-CameronI feel my cheeks heat up at his message. Although I do have to say, it makes me feel a little less embarrassed knowing he thinks the way I sleep is cute. I slap my forehead out of embarrassment and stupidity for falling asleep.
"Alex." My stepmom, Lora, says as she slowly opens up the door,"oh good your awake. I have to tell you that the guy who brought you here is H-O-T hot." She says as she makes an 'ok' symbol with her hand. "How do you get so lucky?"
She stares at me waiting for a comment, but I honestly don't know how to answer her so I just shrug. "Oh come on, what's your secret?"
"I don't know. Just be yourself, I guess." I say as I sit up in bed and she comes and sits at the end of the bed with me.
She lets out a long sigh and says,"you sound like a Disney movie."
"I don't know what else I'm supposed to say." I state in a monotone voice. How am i supposed to know? It's not like we're a couple.
"Come on! Give me the juicy details about your relationship." She pleads while starting to get annoyed with my lack of information.
"There are no details because there is no relationship."
"So your telling me you don't like him?" Lora says while wiggling her eyebrows.
"I didn't say that I didn't like him." I say as I feel my face heating up. I don't know why I really have all these feelings for Cameron, if I'm going to be completely honest. I don't even know him, but he helped by taking me to the hospital and driving me home and somehow I think he's like my knight in shining armor and I'm the damsel in distress.
"Oooo...." my stepmom says like a little kid who has just been shown an expensive artifact. Although in this case the expensive artifact is my feelings and the kid is my 46 year old stepmom.
"Whatever." I say in an attempt to make her drop the subject. "Where's Abby?"
"She's at a friends house today." She says while giving me a look as if to say 'don't change the subject.'
"Darren?" I ask quickly, running out of siblings to ask about.
"You know he hates to leave college to come and see us." She says in a sarcastic tone, although it's probably the truth.
"Daddy?"
"He has to work today."
"Well that sucks." I say as I blow out a long breath.
"Would you like to do something? You know just you and me?" Lora questions me. I have a feeling though that she already knows exactly what she wants to go and do.
"I guess." I say slightly uncertain.
"Lets go get you something scandalous for your future boyfriend." She says like a teenager. See most parents would want there children to stay away from boys and just work on getting a good education, but when it comes to Lora there is no telling what she is going to say and do. When I don't say anything from being in shock she adds,"don't worry we can get birth control too, if you want."
I start to choke on air and awkwardness as I beat on my chest in an attempt to get more oxygen into my lungs. "What the hell Lora!" I yell at her. For a second she looks shocked, but then she breaks out into hysterical laughter.
"I got you good!" She says in between laughing and gasping for air. "You should have seen your face!" She practically screams in laughter as she wipes a tear off of her cheek.
"I hope you choke on your spit." I say evilly. Not only an I embarrassed, I'm humiliated. Right now I just wanna crawl in a hole and stay there for the rest of my life.
After Lora stops hysterically laughing she says (more like sings) to me,"come on, let's go shopping!"

"Hey Alex, I need you to slowly turn around as if your looking at a dress I pointed to so make it settle." Lora says to me while eyeing something behind me.
I do as she says and turn around just to spot Bella, she's one of those girls in my grade who act like a total slut. Not to mention that we used to be best friends until she wanted to be more popular so she started spreading rumors about me. Right as I realize I'm staring at her she looks my way and locks eyes with me. I look away but I know it's to late because she is already walking over here.
"Oh hello Alexandra." She says while smirking and putting her hands on her hips,"I see your hanging out with your stepmother today. I knew she was your only friend."
I cross my arms and roll my eyes. This is my fight and I'm not about to back down. "What are you saying to me! Your shopping all alone last time I checked! Where are you "friends"? Have you stabbed them in the back too?" Bella looks taken back by my words as if she realizes now just how evil she has been.
She quickly shakes off my comment and plasters a stern disgusted look on her face that's caked with makeup. "It's not any of your business to know where MY friends are." She scoffed at me while flipping her hair and walking off, but trying to make her hips sway to much. She looks like she has some kind of rash; this caused Lora and I to laugh and attempt imitate her walk jokingly causing even more laughter.
When we finish shopping we decide to get a smoothie, mainly because it's somewhat healthy and I need to look good says Lora. My opinion is that life is to short to eat healthy, if I want to eat junk food I'm going to do it without guilt.
"Hey Alex," Lora says while poking my shoulder,"I know I might be crazy but I think Cameron is here." I look in the direction she is pointing and sure enough there is Cameron. Why do I keep seeing everyone I know when shopping? If this keeps happening I just might start considering shopping online.
I stare at Cameron as I see him walking, but I freeze when I see a beautiful woman walk up to him and give him a hug. I knew it was to good to be true to see a guy that hot still single. I start to feel a little sad and slightly envious of the woman with Cameron. I watch them as the mysterious woman smiles and laughs at Cameron.
I look away in a attempt to not make myself even more sad. Lora comes up to me and hands me my smoothie, when she notices my frown she looks at Cameron and sees the girl with him and she nods now understanding my mood. "Hey don't go assuming things, you never know she could just be a friend." Lora says in a stern voice," don't ruin girls day for me, come on just smile."
I smile and let what Lora said settle in my mind, maybe she is just a friend. That is all I needed to know to have hope that maybe we could be something.

First off I would like to say that I am very sorry for not updating faster. I feel like I shouldn't try to rush to get out a chapter because I think it is better to wait and make it sound good rather than to rush and it be sloppy.
