Chapter 1
How does she know that you love her?
"Mm,"Alex groaned,and turned around in her bed. She felt someone's
arms around her small,petite waist. She saw someone dark haired-was
certainly a boy who wore a wife beater and some blue plaid PJ's.
Alex smiled,and saw her brother hugging her. "Justin..hey,Justin!
Wake up,"Alex whispered,and tugged on his shirt,accidentally lifting
up his shirt,enough to show his beautiful 6-pack. Alex dreamily sighed,
staring at his abs. She slapped herself to stop looking,but that sound woke
up Justin. "Alex?"Justin wiped his eyes,and saw the TV still on,because they
were watching "Little Miss Sunshine." "Did you like the movie?"Alex teased.
"Well,it was so funny. I like all movies,except for..movies that I don't like..
although there was this horrible movie I saw on TV,I forgot what it was called
though."Justin started to talk again,but he saw his little sister with both hands on hips.
He knew what she was going to say,because he always got it. "Are you done?"
Alex giggled. They both stood up,and they both raced to turn off the TV.
Justin,on his defense picked up the petite girl,who was giggling uncontrollably,
as Justin was twirling around. They both landed on the couch,laughing.
"That was so fun,"Alex smiled,and looked into her brother's eyes.
"I might have not noticed this,but..you've got the prettiest eyes,ever."
Justin blushed at the compliment her sister gave her,but they noticed everything
was weird. "Are you hungry?"Justin grinned,he was happy. "Yes,a little bit.
I'm in the mood for.. bacon."Alex giggled, and felt her phone vibrating in her
back pocket. "Oh,jeez. The one spot I cannot reach. Justin,can you?"
Justin,without a word,reached into her pocket,slightly touching her ass.
Alex blushed,and before you know it,she turned red like a strawberry.
"Here you go,"Justin handed Alex her polka dotted Blackberry. "Thanks."
Alex took it,and checked the text message : Hey,Alex. It's James,wanna
hang out tonight? She politely,maybe,maybe not – ignored the text message.
"Who was it?"Justin asked,a little bit curious,but kept at his limit-he didn't
want to be nosy. "It's James. He asked me to hang out with him tonight,
but I ignored it."Alex yawned,and stretched making the t-shirt that Justin
gave her to warm up go up. You could see her stomach, part of her bra. Justin
couldn't help but look,but he kept it only up to her bra. He didn't wanna go that far,
his sister might think he's perverted. Alex stopped stretching, only to see her brother
looking at her. "Um,so why didn't you?"Justin said,hoping the topic he thought would
come up wouldn't. "We're watching a movie tonight,silly,"Alex playfully hit Justin in the
arm. "Oh,duh,yeah..about that,me and Miranda.."Justin got cut off. "Oh,uh,okay..just have fun
with Miranda."Alex cleared her throat,and stared off into space. "But..she can come,"Justin
suggested. He hated the way Alex got when she was sad. "Uh,no,it's okay,Justin. I can just
hang out with Harper." Alex smiled,a sympathy smile. "Are you sure?"Justin asked,
and in came the girl he was talking about..Miranda. "Hey Justin,Alex."Miranda kissed
Justin passionately. Justin opened his eyes, but didn't let go of the kiss. He saw Alex looking
at them,mostly the kissing motions. Okay,Alex mouthed with a nod at him. She left the room
with mixed feelings- disturbed, sad, and confused. Could it be,that she's jealous of Miranda?
Alex and Justin have an unbreakable bond- but so does Miranda. A more deeper bond,
with more passionate things to do than hug and kiss. "He loves her,you should be happy."
Theresa Russo,her mom said. "I am,mom. It's just I have feelings-that I don't why,but I have
them,and I am just so bugged about it."Alex explained. "Oh,well then..I suggest you tell
Justin about it. Talk to them about it,they'll understand."Theresa was always the mom to
go to,if you needed help,and advice. "Thanks mom,I'll think about it."Alex smiled,and
walked to the room,to see them making out. Alex felt like she was going to puke.
"Ahem."Alex cleared her throat,making sure she had no cough-and so she wanted
them to stop. "Oh,Alex."Miranda smiled. "Is it illegal,to make out in this house?
Especially making out with Justin."Alex teased. Justin laughed. "I am a really good kisser."
"Oh really?I'd like you to try."Alex giggled. "Sorry,but he's all mine."Miranda smiled,and kissed
him once more. "Can I talk to Justin,for a sec?"Alex asked. Miranda looked at her,and nodded.
"Whatever."Miranda yawned,seeing them walk with Justin's arm around Alex's waist.
"So,Alex,what do you wanna talk about?"Justin leaned on the kitchen counter. "Well,
I'm not sure why,but whenever I see you and Miranda doing whatever and whatnot,I kinda
feel a little weird. It's like..I'm mad,for some reason,which I don't know what for. And,I just
felt like I needed to talk to you about it..sorry if it feels a little weird,I,"
Alex got cut off by Justin's soft lips grinding on hers. She felt sparks,and closed her eyes.
It was her first kiss-she wanted to make it last. After a minute,they pulled back with their
eyes wide open. "Wow."They said,in unison. "Um..why did you..just kiss me?"Alex said,
her voice sounding surprised-but happy. "I'm sorry..it was an accident..and um,
I wanted you to shut up."Justin admitted,and smiled. "Please don't tell Miranda,she'll
kill me,and I really love you- I mean her."Justin begged. Alex took a deep,long sigh and
nodded. "Okay. Just don't do it again without telling me,"Alex smiled,and kissed her brother
on the cheek. "Okay,thanks Al."Justin grinned. They both started walking back,until
Alex smiled, "Oh,I'm trying a new nickname,Lex. I'm just waiting for it to catch up,you know?"
They looked at each other. "It isn't catching up,is it?"Justin laughed. They both hopped on the couch
with Justin in the middle,Alex to his left,and Miranda to his right.
"Uh,so what'd you guys talk about in there?"Miranda
asked. "Um,we talked about how...good that new movie
was!YEAH!That."Alex giggled,and looked at Justin.
They both started laughing like they're best friends,
and they're pulling some sort of prank.
"It must've been a comedy,then.."Miranda put her head
on Justin's shoulder. Alex,who felt a little wrong,
looked around. It was awkward for her,and fun for
Justin and Miranda. "What do you wanna watch?"
Justin had the remote control in his hand,flipping
through channels rapidly. "Oh,keep it here,I love
this show." Justin nodded at Miranda's command.
But I hate this show,Alex thought.
