College, Love, and Piercings (boyxboy)

Chaper Seven

~Alex~

It was getting close to Halloween the cold air had started blowing in. I was used to a sunny Beverly Hills winter, but that wasn't the case here.

Ever since the party I had been seeing less and less of Zander. He said he always had to go and talk to Landon, Lexie was still around though.

My phone started ringing. I glanced at it and sighed it was my dad. I guess I had to talk to my parents sooner or later.

"Hi." I said as I laid down on my bed.

"Hello Alex how is college?" Asked my dad.

"It's fine."

"Did you pray the gay away?" He asked.

"Dad that's-"

"I just want you to find a girl."

"I just-"

"A nice suitable girl." I kept my mouth shut as he ranted on and on.

Then I just hung up.

I jumped up and looked at myself in the mirror. I needed to tell Zander the truth maybe there was a pick up line.

"Are you gay? 'Cause I think you are." I said to my reflection. I shook my head and laughed "I can't think straight around you. What am I doing? I'm such a dork."

"Zander I'm gay and I really like you. Please don't hate me." I said to myself. "It's probably pretty weird to talk to yourself." I said looking at my reflection in the mirror.

Just then Lexie burst into the door. She quickly looked around here mascara was smeared and tears were falling from her eyes. "Is Zander here?" She asked in a panic.

"No... What's wrong?" I asked.

"This is wrong!" She held up a pregnancy test with two lines.

"You're pregnant!" I exclaimed. She nodded crying pulling me into a hug crying on my chest.

"The party... I forgot the pill... We forgot... Drunk... Stupid." Was all I could make out from her muffled cries. She pulled her head away and looked at me "I need to find Zander."

"He's at Landon's." I said.

"Let's go!" She grabbed my wrist and dragged me down to Ol' Red.

・・・

Seated on Landon's couch with a cup of coffee in my hand I listened as Lexie and Zander argued.

"It could be a false test." Suggested Landon.

"I hope." Sniff, "my mom would k-kill me!" She cried wiping her eyes again. She had already cried off all her makeup.

Zander sighed "Take another test. Until then I won't believe it."

"Fine I'll go buy one right now." She stood up grabbed her keys and walked out the front door.

I took a sip of my coffee and felt Landon glance at me. I didn't know Landon that well but he seemed nice enough.

"So what are your thanksgiving plans?" Asked Zander.

"Probably gonna go spend it with London, maybe Paris and my parents." Said Landon.

"How are London and Paris?" Asked Zander.

"Paris is still at Harvard training to be a doctor and London is I don't really know probably lounging on the couch back in Utah. Maybe drinking." He laughed.

"What about you Alex? Are you heading back to the Hills?" He asked.

"I never want to go back there or see my parents again!" I wanted to scream that, but instead I shook my head.

"You should come back to Detroit with me and Lexie."

I almost choked on my coffee. "Really?" I asked coughing, trying not to spill coffee all over me and the couch.

"Yeah it would be cool." He said. Landon smiled at Zander and nodded his head.

"I guess I could." I said.

Lexie knocked on the door. "That was fast." Commented Landon as he let her inside.

"There's a gas station at the end on the road." She said walking in to the bathroom and shutting the door.

We waited for her patiently. She came out and sighed "Zander was right. I'm not pregnant" She said flopping down on the couch her head in Zander's lap. I wonder if they are dating...

"You guys better get going you have class tomorrow." Said Landon we said our goodbyes and headed back to campus.

・・・

I was awoken from my sleep by Lexie walking inside our dorm. I looked at the clock it was 1:37 A.M. What was she doing here?

Zander looked up at Lexie. "Sorry I can't sleep in my room." She shuffled her way over to Zander's bed. "Amy's having sex and it's annoying." She crawled up in bed next to Zander closing her eyes.

Zander sighed and turned over "Sure you can sleep here." He said sarcastically.

I glanced at them. Were they dating it sure seemed like it. I sighed, maybe me and Zander just weren't mean to be.
