ALEXA'S POV

*Flashback three years ago*

I packed my last photo album into a box. While taping the box shut, I looked around my now-empty room. Tears sprung to my eyes, I just couldn't go! I grabbed the box and shuffled down the stairs to the moving van. I saw Ray, Mikey, Gerard, and Frank staring at the ground.

"So, I guess this is it," said Gerard.

"So much for wanting another fun summer. I can't go into seventh grade without you guys!" I squealed.

"Same here, I just hope we can see each other again. South Carolina is just too far!" Frank said.

"Imma miss you, kid," said Ray pulling me into a large bear-hug.

Mikey stood there in silence, as did I. Gerard pulled me into a hug.

"I'll visit you soon. I promise you, Gee," I whispered into his ear. He let go and walked away. Frank pulled me into a hug too.

"Whatever you do, do not hurt that perfect face of yours." He whispered to me between tears.

"Don't worry, Frankie. I'll be fine." I said. He walked away with Ray, leaving Mikey and I all alone, which was weird because I had always secretly had a small crush on him. His glasses were in perfect alignment with the tip of his nose. His hair covered his face, which I was positive that I would miss. His face that is, not his hair. But he better not mess it up too much while I'm gone! He suddenly broke into tears and pulled me into a hug.

"I love you, Alexa Menndler," he whispered into my ear.

He said he loved me, which was pretty much all that I had ever wanted.

"You're the sister that I always wished I had," he said to me.

Oh, sister. Well, I suppose we can't all get our way.

"I love you too, Mikey" I said. My love was not a brotherly or sisterly love. It was different. It was true love. He kissed my cheek. I blushed. He had never done that before.

"Bye, don't forget about me," he demanded in a playfully sorrow way.

"I won't. Bye," I said.

"Come on, Sweetie!" my mother, Tonya, yelled. Moving was easy for her. But for me, it was a terrible experience. I gave Mikey one last glance before I hopped into the passenger seat of my mother's Ford truck. He was looking down, crying, I sighed. My mother looked at me. "You're going to love your new house!"

I let out another sigh. "All we can do is hope," I said as we drove away from Cemetery Drive. I did not know what was in store for me.

*PRESENT TIME*

I hopped back into my mother's Ford truck. It had been three years since I moved last. We drove onto Cemetery Drive. I recognized the street name and house as we pulled into the driveway. "Mom? Why do I recognize this place?" I asked.

"Oh! This is the street and house we lived in three years ago. We never sold it, just in case." My mother responded.

"So that's why our taxes are so high!" I ran up to my old room. The moving van was already here so everything was pretty much (other than the things that were packed into boxes) unpacked. I hung up and put away my clothes, beauty products, and other necessities. My bed was set and only one box labeled other was left. I opened it and pulled out my journal and photo albums. I placed the journal under my bed and put the photo albums on my shelf. I noticed a small rectangular box in the corner. I went over to it and opened it. There was a photo album in it. More specifically, the photo album I had left here by mistake. I flipped through it and saw four familiar faces. Ray, Mikey, Gerard, and Frank. I smiled. Just imagined what would have happened to this if we actually did sell the house! I sat it on my bookshelf and ran downstairs. "Mom! Drive me to Barns & Noble!" I yelled.

"Fine, whatever will keep you busy," she said. I grabbed my wallet and when we got there I looked around a bit. I was just dieing to get the newest Twilight saga novel. I just loved things with vampires in them! To my surprise, I couldn't find it. I walked away thinking to myself: Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Starbuck café in here! I went over and ordered a frap. They actually got my order right, wow, that's a first! While sipping my coffee, I saw a boy about my age (sixteen) stocking shelves. "Excuse me. Do you sell the Twilight books here?" I asked.

"Sorry, no, they haven't come in yet but they'll be here in two to three…."said the stranger suddenly stopping when he saw me. I looked at him shocked too. I pulled out my iPhone and after looking at a few pictures, I realized exactly who he was.

"Mikey?"

"Alexa?"

"OMG! Mikey!"

"Alexa, when did you come back? We missed you so much!"

"Just today, actually."

"Wow, you look…stunning."

"Thanks…" I blushed, I always wanted him to say that, also. We sat at a table in the Starbucks café area in the back of the book store. "Smile!" he said while taking a picture of us together. "I'm posting this on Facebook, I'm gonna tag you in it, ok?"

"Sure."

He finished and took a sip of his coffee. "You haven't changed much, have you?"

"Not really…" I went on Facebook and look at Mikey's last post. It said: "Look who I just ran into! She's back! Hopefully for good this time!" I clicked "Like" on it. I heard three irritating beeps.

"Oh! Sorry about that!" Mikey said as he read his texts. I giggled to myself.

"Oh Gosh! 8:30 PM! I have to go sorry!"

"It's fine see you later? We all still live in the houses we used to remember them?"

"Yeah. I just moved back into my old house so you'll probably know where it is. If you have and problems, text me."

"Ok. Bye!"

"Adios!"

MIKEY'S POV

I read my texts

Gee: Holy shiz man! Unfair… :/

Frank: Dude really? Meet you at your place l8r 2 talk bout this

Ray: Grr…

Wow, Ray! You have such a way with words!

ALEXA'S POV

When I got home I ran into my room with a grin on my face. Hopefully I'd be able to see the guys later, but right now, I was in need of a well deserved sleep! I threw my empty Starbucks cup in my trashcan. Then, slowly fell asleep- or, well- at least tried. I heard a noise at my window. I got up but fell right back down. Then I remembered something: Starbucks' fraps make me weak in the knees, seriously! The noise would just have to wait until later. Or- at least until my stability unites with me again!
