Chapter 3-

Ian's POV

Ian was very happy to have Alexa back at his side. In the past two years he had hit rock bottom, let himself be brain washed by his parents, was showing fear over his mother and actually started to listen to her! Thank heavens, Alexa snapped him out of it and made him stand up for himself around his parents, who know what he could have done without her? But something still bothered him about Alexa, how was she able to change his father's mind? Ian knows how hard that is to do.

Ian was in deep thought about Alexa, until he bumped into Amy. "I'm sorry." he said while looking deeply into Amy's jade green eyes, his heart skipped a couple of beats 'Keep your cool, keep the rich kid act, she just another girl.' Ian thought, but another part of him said 'Just a girl? You love her!'

"I-I-it's my fault, I wasn't l-looking." Amy said with the adorable stutter that Ian loved.

"I was going to play chess, want to come?" Ian invited, he was restraining himself from calling her love, since he knew she hated it.

"Um… S-sure." Amy said, she looked behind her, 'Was someone with her?' Ian asked himself.

They walked down the hall with an comfortable silence, they stopped in between two doors. One read 'Game room' and the other 'LR', Ian opened the door that read 'Game room'. Inside was a big room with a couple of chairs, board games, chess and checker tables, a huge a TV and video games. They sat at the first chess table, Ian had the white pieces and Amy had the black ones. And they silently began to play.

Alexa's POV

Alexa and Amy were walking down the hall, when Amy bumped into Ian, Amy and Ian talked for a minute than they started to head for the old game room, which Alexa wondered why they still kept, even though they build a new one. When it seemed that Amy was going to look back at her, Alexa quickly hid in the corner. As they headed to the game room, Alexa remembered why they kept the old game room, it was used as a spy room, she could use it to watch and listen to their conversation.

Alexa quietly walked to the door that read 'LR', which she knew stand for Listening Room, she opened the door, and saw the room was filled of dust, People must have not used this room for ages' Alexa thought. She turned on the listening equipment, and turned her head to the screen. She watched as Ian and Amy called out their moves. "You can be really noisy sometimes." A voice said, that Alexa recognized as James's. But still she jumped from her seat.

"James, you scared me half to death." Alexa whispered to him a little annoyed.

"Why don't you let things be?" He asked her.

"If I let things be you wouldn't have a girlfriend." Alexa said to James, and James knew better than to argue with her, so he threw his hands in the air claiming defeat, and left Alexa alone in the LR room.

Alexa went back to snooping, after hearing twenty minutes of watching and hearing chess moves she was about to through in the towel, until she hear something that didn't include the words 'I'll move this to…' " So… how are things?" Ian asked the most boring question ever, which told Alexa how nervous he really was.

"Good, Alexa is really nice." Amy said, without stuttering 'Thanks' Alexa mentally replied to Amy's complement.

"Alexa has always been nice, hard to believe she is Lucian." Ian said

"Sounds like you and Alexa were close." Amy said while making a chess move, all Alexa could do was think at that moment was 'Don't tell him about the e-mail' and 'Why are they talking about me?'

"She has always been like a big sister to me, always telling me the difference between good and bad." Ian paused while capturing Amy's knight "I guess when she left, I hit rock bottom without her and started to listen to my parents." Amy seemed amazed.

"I've never seen this side of you before." Amy said.

"Alexa is back, everything and everybody starts to change back." Ian said.

"Maybe so." Amy said

"After this game, do you want to go in the garden? It's amazing at night." Ian said.

"Sure," Amy smiled "And by the way, checkmate."

Amy and Ian laughed for almost five minutes, it made Alexa laugh too. After they both stopped, Ian took Amy's hand and they walked out of the room.

Alexa waited before going outside, she was amazed at what they said about her. They reminded her of her and Luca, she smiled and walked out of the LR. She remembered of the fun she used to have before the infiltration, her friends, family, Luca. She wished she had never left them, maybe she could have stop this all from happening, maybe Ian and Natalie wouldn't have given in to their parents, maybe this was all her fault. Alexa blamed herself, she felt a light tear slide from her eye to her check. Alexa felt an arm wrap itself around her shoulders, "Are you okay?" Alexa looked at Luca and smiled.

"Yeah, just thinking about the choices I've made." Alexa said, he knew what she meant and he also knew not to question her about it.

"I know something that might cheer you up." Luca said to Alexa while taking her hand and leading her to one of the elevators, they entered and her pressed a couple of buttons and the elevator moved up.

"Where are we going?" she asked, she trusted him fully, but she still she wondered.

"Up." he simply answered her.

When the elevator doors opened, Alexa saw the roof of the building was decorated with twinkle lights, a picnic and two lounge chairs. The sky was clear so you could she thousand of stars. "This is amazing!" Alexa said. "Did you really did this for me?"

Luca sat on the middle of a lounge chair and Alexa sat next to him "Just recreating the last time I saw you." he said, she smiled. "So… why don't we picked up where we left off?" he asked nervously.

Alexa's smiled harder, "And where you that be?" Alexa asked. Of course she remembered, they were sitting in a garden maze, eating a night picnic like this. He leaned in to kiss her, and her phone ringed, it was the call that changed everything, that was the only thing that kept her going for the past two years, that one day she would come back to this. "Could you remind me?"

Luca smiled, he leaned half way and Alexa meet his lips, she could feel the fireworks and she could help herself from thinking 'Luca is a much better kisser than X will ever be'. The fact that she compared Luca to X made her feel embarrassed. X was just a scam, he never loved her and she knew that she couldn't possibly love him, not like Luca loved her and she loved him.

Just then the light went on and someone yelled "FINALLY!"

Luca and Alexa broke away to see three people with them on the roof top, Selene, the one who yelled, James, the one who was next to Selene and Luca's little sister, Stella. "We came up here to tell you Dan found the secret room, but think you guys will want to be left alone." Stella said, smiling at her brother. "Bye bye now." she pushed Selena and James towards the elevator.

Luca and Alexa couldn't help themselves but to laugh, they had gotten used to the fact that they would never be left alone, Alexa's friends and family would interrupt and so would Luca's sister and fans, at least now they had some privacy. Alexa and Luca leaned back on the lounge chair and watched the stars in the sky.
