Title: Promises and First Kisses under oak trees.

Summary: Nate left Alex and she was hurt. She doesn't want to see him ever again. What happens when he comes back? Will their love ever succeed? PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!!! Mostly Nalex but with some Smitchie.

Authors Note: Yeah, this story just popped into my head. It was a very, very random moment since the song I was listening to had no connection whatsoever to the plot. None. Or maybe there is. I don't know. Anyway, since I'm all for randomness, I decided to actually write it down and post it. Oh yeah, there are three P.O.V's. General P.O.V, Nate P.O.V and Alex P.O.V.

P.S. No wizards since I don't really know what to do with their powers in this story.

INTRODUCTION:

Nate Gray and Alex Russo knew each other ever since kindergarten. Sure, they've been best friends from kindergarten to eighth grade, when Nate gave Alex her first kiss. That first kiss was the end, though. Because, after that kiss, he left. she finally realizes she loves him and he leaves. She was mad at him for causing her all the pain and she was mad at him for leaving her without goodbye. She never wanted to see him again. Now, Alex is better, but not fine. She tried going out with guys, but nothing ever happened. Nate was famous and he was happy, but not complete. He missed Alex. He wanted to see her again. He loved her. He thought about her everyday and every night. He was packing his bags to go back. He was coming back to Alex.

CHAPTER ONE:

[ALEX P.O.V]

"ALEX!" someone yelled from the counter at the substation. It was Mitchie, I recognized her voice. I stepped out of the kitchen to see her bouncing up and down on one of the seats in front of the counter. She had a big smile plastered on her face.

"Stop bouncing or the seat will break and we'll both be grounded." I said, but she ignored me.

"Guess what?" she asked me.

"A monkey jumped over the Empire State Building?"

"No!"

"What?"

"I have backstage passes to the Connect Three concert tonight!"

"Oh. Yay!" I said flatly. Mitchie moved to New York last year only, so she doesn't know anything about The Kiss. The Kiss that broke my heart and left me broken down for almost a year. Please say you only have one, please say you only have one…

"I have two!" she yelled again. By now, everyone was staring at us.

"Yay!" I said weakly.

"We'll both meet them! I am so happy!" She said. I'm not and I've already met them. Ever since before Connect Three happened.

"Who are you going to meet?" Justin asked, coming down.

"Connect Three." I said. I gave him a don't-say-anything look.

"Oh. Good for you." He said then went into the kitchen.

"Come on, Alex, get up there and get ready! We're gonna be late!' she said. I stared at her.

"What?"

"First of all, I have work. Second, the concert starts in five hours." I said.

"Oh yeah."

"Yeah."

"Okay, so you go work then get ready and I'll go home and get ready! I have so much to do! I have to get a quick mani then I have to plan my outfit then I have to exfo—"

"Mitchie!" I cut her off.

"It's just Connect Three. No need to get so hyped up."

"'It's just Connect Three? Are you kidding me? It's not just 'Connect Three'! It's the Connect Three!" she burst.

"Okay, fine. I'll meet you there!" I said.

"Yay! I can't wait!"

[NATE P.O.V]

"Nate, hello? Naaaaaaate?" Shane asked, waving his hand in front of my face.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing, it's just that you've been staring at the pillow in front of you for more than thirty minutes." He said.

"Oh. Sorry. I was just thinking." I told him. I was. I was thinking about Alex and what I would do. Should I go to her house? Should I call her? Is she even here in New York? The last time he saw her was when they were fourteen, two years ago.

"'Crazy kind of crush on you…'"he sang. I got the pillow and threw it in his direction. It missed.

"Nice aim." He said. "'Alex, Alex, where for art thou Alex?'"

"Shut up!" I said. He laughed.

"Come on, it was just a joke. Relax."

"Guys! We have to go! We still have to rehearse and do sound check!" Jason called from outside the hotel room.

"We're coming!" Shane called out.

[ALEX P.O.V]

Two hours after Mitchie left, I slumped down on my bed and thought about my dilemma. If I go, I'll see him, and I don't want to. If I don't go, I'll be upsetting Mitchie and she'll start asking me questions, and I won't be able to explain because I won't want to explain.

"I think you should go." someone said from the direction of my doorway. I sat up. It was Justin.

"Since when were you allowed to open my door without asking for my permission?" I snapped.

"Come on, Alex. I'm here to help." He said.

"Fine."

"So what's on your mind?"

"If I go, I'll see him and I don't want to. If I don't go, I'll upset Mitchie and then she'll start asking questions and I don't want to tell her."

"First of all, you think too much of yourself. Think about what will happen in general, not what will happen to you."

"Happen in general?" I was confused.

"Let me tell you what I think will happen in general…" he started. "If you go, you'll see him and he'll talk to you then Mitchie would find out. If you don't go, Mitchie, out of excitement, will start blabbering and she will start talking about you then Nate will ask her about you and she's going to do everything he asks her to, like meet you. Then you'll see him and Mitchie will still know. So, whether or not you go or don't go, you will still see him and he's still gonna bother you, and Mitchie will still know." he explained.

I thought about it.

"Damn. You're right."

"I mostly am."

"Stop flattering yourself."

"You can't stop quality from showing itself."

"Shut up."

He did. But why does Justin think I should go?

"Why do you think I should go?" I asked.

"Because, if you go and talk to him and tell him you don't want to see him while Mitchie's not looking, he won't bother you and Mitchie would never know." he said, matter-of-factly.

"See, if you only thought like this when a girl is around maybe you'll get a girlfriend." I pointed out. But he was totally right.

"You're welcome." He said sarcastically.

"Thanks. Now…leave and don't ever open my door or go in my room without permission."

"Why do I even try to help when this is the thanks I get?" he complained before leaving.

Three hours later, I was standing two rows from the stage and I was watching Connect Three perform. Mitchie was jumping up and down and singing to all their songs while I just stood there, watching Nate. Memories of my childhood came back to me. I felt like my heart was going to burst, because I can't hide it. I don't think I can ever hide it. Why? I think I was better off not realizing. Because of that stupid kiss. That stupid kiss that sent me flying and made fireworks pop in my head. That stupid kiss given to me by Nate Gray. My stupid and perfect first kiss. The stupid and perfect kiss that made me realize that I love him and the kiss that gave me hope. Hope that was crushed when I went to his apartment and his neighbor told me they left already. That perfect kiss.

"These two songs are dedicated to Her." Nate told the crowd. Everybody cheered. They all knew about Her. The girl that Connect Three dedicates the two songs, Hello Beautiful and When You Look Me In The Eyes, to every concert. Everytime. They never fail to mention Her. Everyone's heard about Her, but no one knows Her. Everytime they mention Her, my heart breaks a little bit more. He already replaced me. I bet he doesn't even remember me. A lot can happen in two years.

His eyes were roaming the crowd, and when he passed by me, I ducked. I don't think I can handle those wonderful eyes of his.

[NATE P.O.V]

I dedicated the song again to Her. No one knows who she is. Except for me and my brothers. She doesn't even know that it's her. Alex Russo. I scanned the crowd. Then I saw something. Something that looked familiar. I thought I saw her, but then there was nothing. There was just a girl with long straight hair that was staring at the ground.

AFTER THE CONCERT

[NATE P.O.V]

I was tired, but I was happy. That was a great concert, with another great crowd. But I still couldn't shake the image from awhile ago. I really thought I saw her. The most special girl in my life.

The last time I saw her was when I kissed her. Me and my family were leaving for New Jersey, where my grandparents lived. They were old, and they wanted to spend the last days of their life with their family. They died a year after we moved in with them and my mom took one year to fully recover from her parent's death. Now, we were moving back to New York.

I can't shake her out of my mind the whole time we were chatting with our fans who managed to get backstage passes. The second to the last group were leaving. It was almost over. Soon, I could search for her and tell her I love her.

[GENERAL P.O.V]

It was their turn. Mitchie stepped in the room and Nate noticed her as the girl who was looking at the floor awhile ago. Mitchie stopped in her tracks and turned around and motioned for Alex to get in. Alex shook her head. She didn't want to get in. She doesn't think she can take it. Mitchie smiled apologetically at the three brothers and quickly stepped out. The brothers exchanged confused glances.

"What are you doing? Let's go in!" She told Alex.

"I don't think I can go in." Alex said apologetically.

"Why not?" Mitchie demanded.

"Mitchie, I have to tell you something…" Alex began, but Mitchie cut her off.

"Tell me later!" she grabbed Alex's wrist and dragged her in the room where Connect Three was waiting. They were weirded out. What was happening outside? Nate stood up to check when Mitchie came back in, this time dragging Alex by the hand. Shane and Jason also stood up when they saw who just came in. Awkward silence followed.
