Chapter 2

I love waking up to the sound of Alex's voice. She sings while she gets ready how adorable is that? Okay, I never thought that a girl could do this to me. Then again Alex is special. I just can't explain it. "Justin! Breakfast!" My mom yelled up the stairs. I ran down stairs after quickly getting dressed. Everyone was in the morning rush. Dad and Max were stuffing their faces with pancakes. Mom was in the process of cleaning up their mess. Alex was being Alex. Sitting on the counter top debating whether to eat her grapes or throw them at Max.

"Morning beautiful." I said as I walked passed her.

"You think you're so cool." She said with laugh. "You think that you can come in here and say your simple words and make me fall in love with you."

"Is it working?" I asked as I grabbed a juice out of the fridge.

"A little." She said with a smile.

"I am trying to eat here do you two have to be so cute?" Max asked as he stared at me.

"What can I say? It comes naturally to me." Alex said as she launched a grape at him.

"Jerry, remind me why we had kids." M mother said as she started to the steps.

"Love you too, Mom!" I yelled at her as she disappeared down the stairs.

"You ready?" Alex asked as she got down from the counter.

"For what?" I asked as I watched her grab her bag.

"You'll see." She said as she pulled me out the door.

Alex POV

I could tell Justin was worried about what I was going to get him into by his face. It took four left turn and a half a mile of walking to reach our destination. "Why did you bring me to a record store?" He asked as we stood outside.

"I just wanted you to know all about my life in New York. That's what today is about." I said as I pulled him through the door. "Just trust me babe."

"My mother told me to never trust a crazy person." He said softly.

"Is Theresa here?" I asked he didn't say anything. "Then don't worry about it."

"Alex." Sal, the owner, said as he came out of the back. "How have you been?"

"Great." I answered as I started to look around. "How's little Richie?"

"Just fine. He told me to tell you he liked your last post." I was the internet blogger for the company. I also formed the hits wall which I named 'Songs for Justin'.

"It's nice to know someone reads it." I said as I looked at the aging man.

"More than one person read that, Alex. Our Outfield CD's have been flying off the shelf thanks to you." He said. "Is this Justin?" He asked as he looked at Justin.

"Yeah." I said. "Justin this is Sal, my boss."

"Hi." Justin said weakly.

"I have thank you young man. Thanks to the Song for Justin wall my sales have went up." Justin looked confused as he listened to Sal's words. I walked him over the corner of the store where the area was located.

"I had a lot of time on my hands." I told him as he looked at the CD's and comment left on the wall.

"Should I be offended that a song called 'I Hate Myself for loving you' is on here?" He asked me.

"It was playing in the student union when we first met." I told him.

"You are so sweet." He said as he wrapped his arms around me. "Even if you are a nutcase."

"I love you." I told him as he let go of me. "Here help me find this week's topic for the blog." I said as I started to look though the racks.

"Anything for you love." He said as he followed me.

"Young love is so sickening." Sal said as he went back to work.

Justin POV

Once we got home it wasn't long before I remember that the student council was going met here tonight. "I don't see why you have to have a meeting before school even starts." She said as she sat on the sofa with her laptop that my parents got her.

"We have to prepare for the incoming freshman and the first days of the school year." He said.

"So, you're going to talk about Max proofing the school. Nice." She replied.

"That is one way to put it." I said with a smile. "What are you working on?" I said as I looked over her shoulder.

"It's none of your business." She said as she closed the laptop.

"Fine." I said. "That's okay Harper and Zeke will be here in no time."

"Your trying to make me upset." She said as she got up and went to sit at the counter. "Too bad it's not working." She said as she opened her laptop and started to play music. "I have work to do too. Hope the noise won't bother your meeting."

"Nothing about you could bother me." I said as I went over to her and put my arm around her. "I love you Alexandra Morganias."

"Tell me something I don't know." She said as she looked up at me. I was about to kiss her when there was a knock at the door.

"Fuck." I whispered under my breath as I walked over to open the door. "Come in guys." I said as I opened the door for Harper and Zeke.

"Nice to have you back dude." Zeke said as he came in and sat down. "How was your grandmother?" That was the mortal version of going to Wiz Tech for the summer.

"Okay." I lied. "You know how Grandma Marie is. It was a miracle she didn't call the police and say there was a stranger in her house."

"You have to feel bad for the old bat." He replied.

"Can we just get to business?" Harper asked as she sat down. I noticed that as soon as Harper spoke Alex turned up the music. Oh, Alex.

"Sure, what do you want to talk about first?" I asked as Zeke and I sat down.

"Let's start with how we are going to work the freshman first day." Harper said and as soon as she opened her mouth the music went up again.

"How many peer counselors do we have for that day?" I asked.

"Less than ten." Zeke answered as my phone went off. I looked down and saw I had a text message from Alex: Meet me upstairs when they leave. I looked over at her before receiving another text: Trust me babe. "Dude are you okay?" Zeke asked as I watched Alex walk upstairs.

"Yeah." I answered as I looked at him.

Alex POV

I heard Justin's footsteps coming down the hall. I was wrapped up in my blanket. Just trying to hide away from the outside world. "Alex." He said as he shut the door behind him. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just thought we could lay down and talk like we did at Wiz Tech." I said softly as I sat up and turned on the radio.

"Of course babe." He said as he sat down next to me and wrapped his arms around me. "What do you want to talk about?"

"Zombie squirrels." I answered as we sat there in each others arms. I felt as if we would never let go of each other.
