Chapter 4

After about an hour of aimlessly walking, Alex's phone rang. It was Chuck. She didn't want to answer it but she was lost and needed help.

"Hello." Alex answered, quietly.

"Alex, where are you?"

"I'm not really sure…"

"Look around, what do you see?" asked Chuck desperately.

"Umm… there are some steps…" Alex said, helplessly.

"Are you… are you outside the Met Art Museum?" asked Chuck shocked.

"Uh, yeah. I think so…" said Alex, trying to get a better look of the huge building in front of her.

"OK, I'll be there as soon as I can. Please, just stay there." "OK." said Alex, ending the phone call.

She went and sat on the steps, unable to believe that the boy she had just spoke to was her brother. Alex had always wanted a brother, she'd always been so alone growing up.

Within ten minutes, Chuck had appeared.

"That was quick." said Alex. Chuck smiled, and sat down next to her.

After a moment of silence, Chuck said "I can't believe you're my sister."

"I know. You're my brother… it sounds so strange." she smiled. "So, what now?"

"What do you mean?" asked Chuck.

"What do we do now?"

"Get you home."

"And then?"

"Then you go to bed, and get up for school tomorrow…" said Chuck confused.

"OK. And you'll stay in touch?"

"You're the only real family I have left. I'm not going to let you leave easily."

"Thanks. But… OK, look. You can't act so brotherly all the time…"

"What? What do you mean?"

"I mean Nate. You know that guy…" Alex started to explain.

"I know who Nate is."

"OK, so you can't be like that with every guy."

"I won't… it's just, Nate's my friend and you're my sister… it was weird and… creepy. For me anyway."

"That's alright. I won't go near Nate. Anyone else I can't touch?" joked Alex.

Chuck looked at her seriously and said "Dan Humphrey, Carter Baizen…"

"How about I just run anyone by you first?"

"That's sounds like a good idea." Chuck smiled.

They both stood up, and Chuck took Alex home.

The End.

Authors Note: So, yeah. Sorry it was so short, but I didn't know what else to do… I might start another story about Nate and Alex… or Dan… hmm, maybe. Thanks for all the reviews.
