Chapter 3: The Family and Kisses

Disclaimer: Own nothing but the things you don't already know…

Alex woke up and put on baggy black jeans, a tight rocker tee and black chucks. Her mom and step dad weren't home so she couldn't take the metro to school. She picked up her house phone and called Amy.

"Hey, tell Towerz to come pick me up, I have no cash." She said rummaging through the drawers.

"I'm with Jay. He's taking me to school." Amy smiled to herself. Alex felt her heart drop in her stomach. But she shook the feeling as she started to feel nauseous.

"Well, tell him to come around my way." Alex demanded.

"Ugh, fine. He said it's OK."

Alex didn't say anything just hung up. Slut Whore. She said to herself as she walked outside to wait.

Jay picked her up and they arrived to school just as the bell rung.

"I have to pee." Amy said bluntly. Alex and Jay walked into their first period together. Sean and Towerz raised their eyebrows and looked at each other.

"Well, nice of you two to show up. We've already picked partners. You two are to do construct a poem that relates to one of you and the other will present the way you would expect them to. This is do in two weeks. So you and your partner have two weekends to work on it together." Kwan told the class.

Amy never showed up to class. In fact none of them. At lunch, Alex saw her leave the school with some senior. Jay, Sean and Towerz came over to an isolated Alex talking about a party that supposed go on Friday night.

"So, Alex." Jay said trying to be friendly. "Would you like to come over tonight after school." Alex's eyes widened at his blue eyes. "To work on the poem of course. I'll write it. If that's cool with you?" Alex nodded. "That's cool. I'll read it, the way you want." She smirked at him.

"Ooh," Sean and Towerz laughed blowing kisses at them.

Jay leaned closer to her so they wouldn't hear. "Do you mind if I call you Lexi?" he sent chills down her spine. No one called her that except a kid she used hang around and talk to at recess about her dad. "Sure, I'll meet you after school." She said as the lunch bell rung.

Jay and Alex arrived to his apartment after school.

"Hey Jay." Jordan smiled to him meeting him at the door. "Bout time you brought a friend over." he said referring to Alex. "Um, dad this is Alex. Alex- Jordan." he introduced them. "Sorry to be rude, but I got get to work early today. JoJo has money to order a pizza. I'll be back at eight."

"That's your dad?" Alex asked as they walked into the living room.

"Yeah, he is." Jay smiled. "But-."

"But what?" Jay asked her making her uncomfortable.

"Nothing, never mind." Alex said fidgeting. Jay busted out laughing. "I was kidding. He's black, do I look anything like him? He's my step dad." Alex chuckled a little feeling slightly embarrassed. "And JoJo's my half brother he's mixed, but he never leaves his room." "Who's your mom?" She asked. The tables sifted. Now Jay was uncomfortable. "So, you want to order that pizza?" He changed the subject. Alex left it alone and nodded.

They sat at the kitchen table eating the pizza trying to focus on their assignment. But all they could do was talk about their summer. And be distracted by JoJo who sat on the couch smoking a cigarette. "JoJo, quit smoking so much before dad gets back. I won't have a turn." Jay said taking the cigarette from him. "You need to go outside." he told him exhaling the smoke.

They decided to walk over to the ravine. Jay and Alex sat on the benches while JoJo fooled around his remote control plane.

"You remind of this kid I used to talk to when I was little." Alex said starting a conversation.

"Oh yeah," He said not wanting to talk back. "What happened to him?" he asked not to be rude.

"I don't know. One day our class had a party and his dad came and took him from the class. Then there was some big confusion, because the teachers started yelling and the cops showed up. I haven't seen him since. But, I know it wasn't you, because his dad was white. Although you remind me of him so much. He used to call me Lexi too. And I'm rambling so I should just shut up." Jay just starred at her. In an admiring yet creepy way.

"I'm glad you came over today. Your fun to hang out with." Jay brushed his hand over hers. He leaned in meeting her halfway and she got closer to him too. Their lips met softly. "Come on, eew, stop fucking around guys and help me get my plane out the tree." JoJo yelled. Jay smiled at Alex as he got up to help his brother.

Alex was dropped off home at eight.. She went to her room and showered trying to ignore the yelling that came from her mom and step-dad. Alex drifted off to sleep having the same dream as the night before. But this time it continued with the story that she had told Jay.

The little Alex snacked on her crackers as a boy with blond hair and blue eyes sat beside her. They laughed and giggles and danced. Then, a tall thin man with blue eyes came into the classroom and picked him up and left. All she remembered was hearing the teacher tell the other teacher, "That was Aaron's dad."

Alex woke up in the middle of the night after the dream. That's who it is, Aaron Louis.

Hey everybody, I did this chapter out of the blue so it isn't the best. The next chapter will be better though. Starting next week I will only be posting once every weekend since school will be starting back up.
