Chapter One

Alex is eighteen when her world crashes to the pits of hell. Don't get her wrong the summer before her eighteenth birthday, and even that winter weren't bad, it was just after the new year and spring was beginning to surface around their small town of Redwood. The birds were chirping, the grass was taking a fresh new green color, and the trees were just beginning to bloom their new leaves. Spring is Alex's favorite season, but now…now she's seriously thinking of reconsidering it. Who knew in such a short amount of time, in her favorite season, not only has Alex's mate and best friend Eveline Fabray been nearly banned from her, but her mothers seem to be on the edge of breaking up…yeah this year is not going well for Alex.

The beginning of Alex's senior year started with the Lopez's familiar Sunday barbeque. And this year Alex had Eveline's hand perfectly laced with her own as she walked through the door to the backyard. Her mamá Santana and Aunt Quinn were at the grill like usual with her mom Rachel, and Aunt Brittany inside preparing the other foods. Alex's siblings were running around somewhere. León and Jacob were most likely playing some game together while Lucas and the Twins were most likely hanging with their girlfriends/boyfriends. Alex had to chuckle at that though, her mamá was not happy when Carmen brought a guy home nearly 3 months ago, and Gideon brought a girl only a few weeks after her. But her Aunt Quinn's reaction to Lucas bringing a girl home was probably the most hilarious reaction she's ever seen. She was sure her 'Aunt' was going to have a heart attack when her 16 year old son brought a 15 year old girl in, while proudly stating that she was his girlfriend. If her Aunt Brittany hadn't been standing next to her, she's sure her Aunt Quinn would've dropped to the floor like a killed fly.

"What's so funny?" The blonde sitting next to her on the swing gave her hand a small squeeze, bringing her attention back down to her.

"Oh nothing…just thinking back on some things." Eveline gave her a nod before snuggling her head back into her arm before letting her eyes gently flutter close.

"Mmm ok, love you Alex." The brown wolf felt her heart flutter at the blonde's words before giving the top of her head a light kiss.

"Love you too Evey."

"Aww aren't they so cute." The tiny brunette gushed from her spot of looking out the window at the two that were quietly swinging together.

"They are. I'm so happy they worked things out." Brittany felt her bright smile break out upon seeing her daughter looking so happy with her hand gently intertwined with Alex's.

"Dinner's done." The feel of arms circling around her waist usually caused Rachel to jump and immediately turn in the embrace, but the feeling was so familiar that she found herself sighing into it instead.

"Ok." The Star moved her head to the side and gave the Latina's lips a soft peck before pulling her along behind her towards the kitchen.

Dinner was good as always, save for the verbal food fight that always came along with dinner, but other than that it went great, although Alex was looking forward to the time after dinner when it was suppose to be "family time" or in their case the couples breaking off and having alone time, which is what Alex is doing when she excuses her and Eveline, and calmly led them upstairs.

"You know we haven't been here since we were 15." Alex said as she absentmindedly traced random patterns on the dancer's arm.

"Yeah…" The Latina noticed a smile breaking out across the blonde's face that soon caused her own smile to form.

"Alex…can I ask you a question?" The brunette fought back the urge to say she already did, but instead chose to just smile and nod at her.

"Have you ever had sex?" The bluntness of the question made the smile on the older wolf's face to turn into more of a line.

"Wh-no. Have you?" Alex found herself slightly nervous at the awaiting answer, but when the blonde shook her head she let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding.

"I wanna though." Brown eyes met blue through the glowing moonlight flooding down on them.

"Right now?" The cheerleader cracked a smile before letting out a small laugh.

"No, not now. Just…in the future." The muscle's in the soccer player visibly relaxed at hearing this.

"Ok."

A comfortable silence fell down upon the couple, with Eveline now turned into Alex's side, her head resting on the Latina's shoulder, and her arm thrown across the wolf's stomach. The brunette sighed at the relaxed embrace, and when a pair of soft lips brushed against her tanned cheek, a slow smile danced onto her face.

"Te amo mi bella bailarina."

"I love you too Alex."
