Mac asked me earlier to take the wheel since he was getting tired, I think for a moment, I ask Ryan, "Ryan, all I ask is I want to spend this weekend with Alex, I'll come home to you, but I will always love you." I can see Ryan, his emotion is blank, faint, clueless, his eyebrows are furrowed, He's thinking way too hard, then he says, "Mac and Jake should be with you at all times, you have to share the same room as them, you can block me, but I advise you not to, I love you too, I will walk thousands of miles just to get to you, even if it will kill me. I love you Lily." I smile, "I love you too, Furball." He smiles back.

I make a quick left, after a while we drive up the old driveway, I wake up Mac and Jake, I ask them to come with me, I ask them to stay at the side of the house, I don't know if Alex would want to invite them in, to see if they aren't welcome, and they become invaders to him, I walk up the steps, I ring the bell.

Alex arrives at the door, he grabs me and pulls me in for a hug, he says, "You've finally decided you hated him?" I shake my head, frowning, I say, " No, I love Ryan, You should know that by now, sorry..... I'm a little on edge, before I got here I had a serious anxiety attack, luckily Jake and Mac were there to help me, by the way, (I motion the boys to come out of hiding) We were wondering if we could stay here for the weekend, so I can see my grandmother, Ryan insisted that I have them with me." Alex shakes his head while looking down for a second and looks at me nodding, he says "Sure, on one condition, you have to go on 6 dates with me during your weekend, Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner times two." I smile and say, "Three and you have a deal, I have to have sometime to see my grandmother." He nods and motions us in, I walk by the door, he smiles, then Mac and Jake, Alex frowns as they walk by, I ask him if I can crash on the couch, he nods, I nod back and ask Mac to grabs our bags, Alex comes by me, he's only inches away, and Jake steps in front of me, Alex backs off and shakes his head and says, "Woah there buddy, I was just going to sit on the couch and talk with Arianna, no need to make a big fuss about this, or do we?" He scrunches both of his hands to make two fists. Jake does the same, and he steps forward, he stands tall above Alex, Jake's looking down on him with a frowned face, and he says, "Step off, or you're in for a world of pain!" I grab Jake's arm and I turn him around to face me, and I say, "Jake, it's not worth it, please just leave us alone, go help Mac and after just go in the kitchen and talk with Derrick, I'll be fine" I smile, and he nods and lunges forward at Alex, Alex jumps back, I know Jake only did it to freak Alex out, Jake walks out the door, I sit on the couch, Alex follows and sits next to me, I scoot away a little bit.

Alex says, "So, um.... you know what, let's just go out to dinner, you must be really hungry." I am a litlle hungry..... I nod, I make a small smile, closing my lips, Mac pops into the room while Jake follows, I say, "We're going out to eat, let's go." Mac nods, Jake nods and says, "But we're taking Mac's car, and Arianna sits in front with me, I'm driving." Alex blantly looks at him for a while and then smiles, I grab my purse, I take Jake's hand and we walk out the door, before we get to the car, Jake stops me, he says, "Mac will sit with you in the restraunt, I'll be in the car, looking at you through the window." I nod and say, "Sure, but do you know why I grabbed your hand instead of Mac's or Alex's?" He shakes his head, I continue, "Because I can feel you getting really angry." Jake just laughs, we continue to the car, he opens the door and closes it, and gets in the car, everybody's in with their seatbelts on.

Jake pulls out of the driveway, He puts his arm around the back of my seat, he cares about me, I hope he's not in love with me too, that would be a train wreck, then I hear, "I don't nessisarily love you, I like you in a friend way, and I would care for you as my mate until you get back to Ryan, I won't do anything that he normally does like kiss you or hug you, basically I won't "love you", I'll just care for you." I smile and look at him, he smiles back, then Alex says, "What did you guys just discuss? Well, I know this one restraunt, it's called, "SeaGrass" they have an outdoor area, I know how much you love nature Ari, take a left and then a right and you should be there."
