Chater One - Midnight talk.

Lying in her bed, Alex watched as the numbers on her clock changed finally to 12:11. It seemed that an hour had passed as she was staring at the clock waiting for it to change, but it hadn't. She sighed. Her eyes were heavy yet they refused to close and let her fall into a deep slumber. She was worried. Her brother, Max, had changed. He was still the normal, cute Max, but he was growing more and mature by the day, and before she would know it, he'd be off on his own way soon enough. But she couldn't let him venture into the world of manhood on his own. Not letting him know what was ahead. He needed to be prepared for what he was going to face. Not that Alex, a girl, could help. She didn't know all the struggles a boy had to face. Of course it would be different if she had a little sister. She'd talk her through the usual stuff; Periods, boys, sex ect. But she had no idea what to talk to Max about. Maybe she could talk to Justin and get him to help.

Before she could once again try to go to sleep, her door opened. Letting a trapizium of light shine through her once pitch black room. There, in the door way, she saw him, Max. "Alex?" He opened the door a bit more, the light shining in her eyes, making her screw them up. "Oh. Sorry." Max apologized, thinking he'd woke his sister up from her sleep.

"What do you want, Max?" Alex sat up, rubbing her eyes trying to force them to be fully awake.

"I wanted to talk." He said, his tiny, guilty, smile coming into play, "But I'll come back later. Sorry for waking you up." Backing away from the door, he started to shut it, letting the light source in the room get smaller.

"No. It's okay, I wasn't asleep. Come in." She smiled encouraging him into the room. Reaching over, she switched the tiny bedside lamp on, knowing he was going to shut the door after himself.

"So..." He became nervous as he sat next to Alex in the middle of her bed. "What kept you awake?" He tried to avoid the anitial subject of why he was in the room in the first place.

"Me?" Max nodded at her, "I was worried."

"About?"

"About you."

"Me? Why me?"

"Becuase you're growing up to fast for your own good." He gave her a 'I'm growing up at the right pace' look. "Okay, too fast for me to keep up with you."

Max smiled at her, "You care?"

"Of course I care about you, Max. You're my little brother." Placing a comforting arm around him, she continued, "Whether you like it or not." She ruffled up his hair and place a kiss on his forhead. "So what did you want to talk to me about?"

He took a deep breath. Could he really disscus this kind of thing with his sister of all people? "I was just wondering... You know. About 'it'" He nervously tried to tell her, avoiding using the proper words.

"'it'?" Alex sighed, she didn't know what he was talking about but she hated seeing him so nervous. Suddenly she embraced him in a hug, "Just say it Max, don't worry, I'm not going to think any different of you."

"Sex." He looked down at his lap, his face turning a shade of pink.

"Oh." Alex's face screwed up. How was she going to talk to him about that? She'd never done it before and she most certantly wasn't planning on anytime soon.

"I'm sorry, I'll just go." He got up to leave, but felt her hand on his shoulder, pulling him back to the bed.

"No, it's okay. It's just a bit unexpected. I thought you'd talk to Justin and dad about this. Not me."

"I'd rather not talk to dad. He'd get mum concerned and have me banned from going out if he knew. And no way would I talk to Justin. He'd give me a sex talk."

Alex smiled, "So you came to me. Okay then, tell me what's up and I'll try my best to help." She looked at him and saw him looking worried again so she decided to joke to lighten the mood, "Well only if it is something I can answer. It's not like I'm a boy you know!" That did it, she heard Max laugh a little. But she was he was still looking down at the matress, twidling his fingers nervously. "C'mon. Tell me." She raised his head by his chin gently so he was finally looking at her.

He took a deep breath before starting, "Well there is this girl. I really like her."

Alex knew where this was going, "And?"

"Well we went our the other day. On a date. And she wanted to..." He looked back down at the bed, not wanting to say it again.

"Did you?" Alex tried not to let out a gasp. Her brother really was growing to fast.

"No!" He snapped at her. Alex let out a breath of relief, "I told her no so she broke up with me. But I think I loved her Alex."

Smiling, Alex thought how sweet her brother was, she'd be lucky if she found a man as sweet as him, "Look Max, she obviously wasn't right for you. If you weren't ready and she was, she'd have waited if she loved you back. Besides, I doubt it was love. You'll know what it feels like when you get older. You'll see."

"I know. But I feel so lost without her. Maybe I should have just given her what she wanted. Then we'd be happy now."

"Would you really Max? Or would you be moping about how you lost your virginity to a girl when you didn't want to? It's better to wait until it's perfect. Besides, it was only the first date? Right?" Max replied to her with a nod, "There you have it then. There shall be no 'hanky panky' on the first date." She heard him laugh at her use of words. "Besides, I went out with Dean for a long time and we went on hundreds of dates, but I'm still a virgin. Just wait until it's right okay?" Max nodded again, it seemed like he was a bobble head in the front of a car, all he could do was nod. "Now, is this that Caitlin girl I've heard talking about you?" Max nodded again, not realising the trouble he'd put her into. Alex wasn't happy. She was breaking her brothers heart and making him do things he didn't want. That didn't sit well with her. She wasn't going to get away with it...
