A/N: I was listening to the radio, and I don't know why I got this great idea. Or what I feel like is a great idea. I do not own the Covenant, nor do I own the song "7 Things' by Miley Cyrus.

Prologue

The thunderous roar of the heavens trumped her pounding headache. She never expected for this to happen, she hadn't wanted to believe it. They had been happy, even with his imperfections.

She was walking out to her car, she had to get away before he could pick his jaw off of the ground and come after her. She had to get away before the rain that was holding in the dark rolling clouds started to pelt down on to her.

Too late.

On both counts. She could hear him calling her name, but she ignored it, pushing through the heavy rain that littered the sky around her. Squinting her eyes to get through the rain she was almost to her car when she felt those familiar fingertips on her elbow.

"Alex, c'mon we can talk about this…"

The blonde haired girl turned around sharply, her eyes staring in to his blue ones, hurt filling them as the brunette stumbled to find the words to apologize.

"I'm sorry, I didn't realize that it was such a big deal," He confessed.

"You didn't think it was a big deal?" She scoffed tears welling in her eyes as she shoved him away from her, silently hoping that he would slip on the wet asphalt and she could get away.

He was stronger than that, had more balance, she should have known that. Wishful thinking, she thought shaking her head.

"Alex, she doesn't mean anything to me, at all…"

"You should have thought about that before you decided to flirt with her right in front of me, Jesus Aaron, how can you be so stupid?" She asked pulling out the keys to her car.

She was soaked to the core now, and her lips began to chatter… this was ideally Ipswich weather. He shrugged off his blazer and put it around her shoulders, though the wet material probably wouldn't help.

"I can't help it that girls are attracted to me, Alex… they're going to flirt… it's not like I cheated on you…"

"Not yet," She pushed, her lips pursing. "And to think I actually fought with my friends and my family… convinced them to let me date you…"

"Alex, you know I'd never cheat on you…" The blue eyed boy stated angrily.

The girl pursed her lips at him and shook her head, "I can't take this right now, ok? It's over between us Aaron, over…"

"Why?" Aaron grabbed her arm pulling her against his sopping wet body. "Why is it over?"

"Because I can't stand you," She stated infuriated.

"We can work whatever this is out, I swear to you…"

"No, it hasn't changed… none of it… you're still that annoying jerk you were when we first started dating!" She exclaimed clutching on to her keys, pushing her wet bangs out of her face.

"C'mon… Alex…"

"No," She shook her head.

"Tell me, tell me what is wrong and I'll fix it…"

Alex stared at him, her blonde hair was flat and wet on her face, and she knew that her make up was running, if not from the rain from the tears that were mixing in with the cold pelts of rain.

"Where do I begin?" She laughed bitterly looking up at the sky.

"Alex, I can't fix this if you don't let me!" He growled lowly.

"You want to know?" She asked him harshly.

"Yes!" He yelled right back at her.

"Fine," She could feel the heat coming off of her, she hated when he raised his voice at her, among other things. "You're vain, you're insecure, I'm sick of all your cat and mouse games, I hate that your friends are such jerks, I hate that you make me laugh and then make me cry, and I hate the fact that you can tell me that you love me Aaron… and how you can like her at the same time…"

She breathed in deeply and her eyes narrowed in on him, "One minute you're an angel… Aaron…" She shook her head. "And then the next you're a complete asshole…" Her lips pursed together. "I don't know which side to buy… I don't know which out weighs the other…"

After a round of awkward silence she narrowed her eyes to the ground, she wanted a sincere apology from him, but she wasn't getting it. She could see that now.

Without another word she opened her car door, still soaking wet and slammed it shut behind her. Sitting there for a minute she took a deep breath, she had broken up with him because of his flirting, because of his attitude. She was sick of having to deal with it all.

She swallowed hard; she could just hear her brother and his friends now. They would tell her that they told her that scumbag would do it, and he had, or at least he was going to. She stuck her keys in the ignition and took off; she needed to clear her mind.

Her gray-blue eyes looked up at the sky, it was disgustingly depressing in Ipswich, and the only thing now that could cheer her up was a good cup of coffee and perhaps a call to her best friend.


I really wasn't planning for her brother to be who he is (can you guess after you look at her picture on my profile?) -- yeah, but I was looking for someone to base her off of, found her and I couldn't get over the fact that she looked a lot like him in some ways.

Also, I wanted to make sure our infamous Sons were tied in on this one, it just wouldn't be complete w/o it. OK, enough of my excuses and giving away information that will be later revealed.

Read and Review, because it's the polite thing to do!
