:)

The movie ended and we all exited the movie theater.

"Anyone want to grab some frozen yogurt?" Justin asked.

"Yum, me!" Mitchie and I said at the same time. We both laughed.

"We can walk there, let's go!" He said leading us.

Logan and I somehow managed to stay a few feet away from the pack.

"So, did you like the movie?" He asked.

I nodded, "It was really good."

"What team are you?" He smiled.

I laughed, "Um, 90% Team Edward 10% Team Jacob."

He chuckled.

"It's actually really funny because there's this guy at my school whose name is Jacob Black, and he looks exactly like Jacob Black in Twilight. It's kind of freaky. Sometimes he tells the girls at school he plays him in the movie and they actually believe him." I shook my head at all those girls he had under his trick.

He laughed and nodded.

"So did you like it?"

He shrugged, "It's not really my type of film, but it was cool. I liked the fight scene."

"Of course, you're such a boy." I playfully nudged into him.

As we were walking our hands brushed together. We both looked down.

I blushed, "Sorry."

I suddenly felt his hand grab a hold of mine.

"Don't be."

I looked down smiling and blushed.

(Normal POV)

Alex and Logan walked into pinkberry, to the dismay of others, especially Nate, they were holding hands.

You could see the fire in Nate's eyes, "Nice of you two to join us." He whispered.

Mitchie heard him and pushed him.

Everyone ordered their desert, sat down at a large booth, and began mingling with each other.

"I really have to get home." Mitchie said looking at the clock and seeing it was already half past ten.

Justin dropped off Mitchie and Juliet and began driving towards his home.

Alex slid out of the car and waited for everyone to get out. "Well I had fun, we should do this again." She smiled. "Goodnight everyone!" She waved before walking to her door.

"I'll walk you!" Logan said walking by her side.

She smiled and they walked in silence before they stopped and turned to each other at the door.

Shane, Justin, Nate, and Macy were quietly watching.

"I had a great time." Logan said.

Alex giggled, "Me too."

"Maybe next time we could do this alone, just the two of us."

She blushed and nodded, "I would like that."

"Well, have a good night."

"You too"

Alex stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do. She suddenly saw Logan moving forward, she instantly froze.

Logan gently grabbed her arms, leaned in, and kissed her lightly on her cheek.

"Bye." He whispered before walking away.

Alex stood there wide-eyed and dumbfounded.

No one can describe the feeling Nate was feeling at that very moment. Anger was just an understatement. When he saw Logan walking towards them, he imagined himself walking up to him and knocking his lights out.

He was pulled out of his trance when he felt Macy tugging at his hands.

Alex finally got control of her body again and turned to see Nate, Macy and Logan walking across the street to their car. She waved and smiled when she saw Logan look over.

She knew she shouldn't have looked over, but she did. She couldn't take her eyes off Nate. He and Macy were currently hugging each other and swaying back and forth. As much as she wanted to turn around, it was like her feet were glued to that spot. She saw then leaning in. She squeezed her eyes shut and managed to run into the house.

That one moment completely ruined her entire night.

She walked into her living room and fell into her couch. Seconds later she heard the front door open, knowing it was her brother Justin and probably Shane.

"Lexie?" Shane called. Man she was good.

"In the living room!" She kicked her feet.

He walked in and saw her lying on the couch, her legs hanging over the edge.

"Tired?" He asked.

She nodded. "Where's Justin?"

"He went to change."

They heard the door open again. Alex already knew who it was.

Shane looked over, "It took you that long to say goodnight?"

Nate joined them in the living room, "She wouldn't let me go."

"How clingy." Alex said under her breath.

"What Lex?" Nate asked.

"Huh?" She didn't think he heard her, "Oh, I said…" She tried to think of something, "Miley's party! Are you guys going?" Saved.

"Yeah, are you?" He asked.

She shrugged, "I was thinking about it." She sat up, "Well it's late and I'm tired. I'll see you guys later." She walked towards Shane and wrapped her arms around his torso, "Thanks for coming tonight."

"No problem. Good night." He kissed her forehead.

She smiled and turned to Nate, "Bye Nate." She quickly hugged him.

Alex stayed in her room most of the morning and the day. She was bored without Mitchie there and Shane was busy working on his project. He offered to come over, but Alex knew that if he did, he would never get his work done. She walked downstairs and saw that no one was home. Her parents were at work and she figured Justin was out with Juliet. She checked the time to see it was three o'clock. She went crashed on the couch in the living room and browsed through the 500 channels they had. After an hour of slugging and watching TV she heard her phone ring. She sat up and answered, "Hello?"
"Hey Alex, it's Logan."

She smiled hearing his voice, "Hey."

"Are you doing anything?"

"Besides lying around like a slob, not much." She laughed.

"Okay, so do you maybe want to have an early dinner with me?"

She froze, "Ju-just the two of u-us?" She stuttered.

He chuckled, "Yeah."

"Um, sure. Yeah, I would like that."

"Okay, so I'll pick you up in an hour? You live across the street from Nate?"

"Yep, the house right across the street."

"Okay, see you soon."

"Okay."

They hung up and she smiled. She looked down at herself and ran straight to her room to find an outfit to wear. As she was searching she dialed Mitchie's number, but it went straight to her voicemail, "Hey love. I really miss you, especially right now since I could really use your help. I'm going on a solo date with Logan and I'm totally freaking out." She sighed, "Well I hope you're having fun and I can't wait till you get home. Bye." She hung up and threw her phone onto her bed.

Alex picked out a simple strapless black dress. She ran a brush through her hair and reapplied some makeup. He was in the middle of coating her lips when the doorbell rang. She smacked her lips, grabbed her purse and ran downstairs.

She quickly tossed her hair before answering the door.

Logan immediately smiled when he saw her. "Hi." He said, holding a bouquet of flowers. "I know it's a little cliché, but I got these for you."

Alex smiled, "No, they're beautiful." She took them. "Thank you. Come in."

"You look great."

"Thanks. Is it too much?" She asked.

He shook his head, "It's perfect."

"I'm gonna go put this in a vase. I'll be right back." She walked into her kitchen and grabbed a vase, filling it with water and throwing in the flowers. She wrote a note and left it on the fridge telling her family where she was if they were to come home and find her missing.

She glanced at herself in the mirror one more time before joining Logan in the foyer. "Hi." She said.

"Ready to go?" He asked.

She nodded, "So where are we going?"

"It's a surprise."

They drove around for a little while, just talking and learning more about each other. Alex could tell that they were heading downtown.

"Do I get a hint as to where we're going?"

He laughed, "You'll see."

After another five minutes they arrived at a restaurant. Alex got out of the car and saw that there was no one there. "Is this place open?"

"Nope." He said taking her hand and guiding her towards the door. He pulled out a set of keys and opened the front door.

"Are we breaking in?" Alex whispered, terrified.

Logan chuckled, "Calm down." He pushed the door open, "Okay, close your eyes."

She looked at him weirdly. He sighed and laughed, "Just do it." She took a breath and did so. "I'm going to take your hands. Just follow my lead." She felt him grab a hold of her hands. "There are stairs so be careful."

After walking up a couple of steps she heard a door open and felt a breeze hit her.
"Okay, open your eyes."

She slowly opened her eyes and saw that they were on a balcony overlooking the city and the sea. There was a table with food and candles, something you would see in those romantic movies. Alex didn't know what to say. She covered her mouth in complete awe.

"Do you like it?" Logan asked.

She couldn't talk, instead she nodded. "It it's beautiful."

"My uncle owns this shop, and he said I could use it tonight."

Alex ran up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "This is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me."

He smiled and hugged her back. After they pulled away Logan pulled out her chair.

"Thank you." She said sitting down.

Logan sat across from her, "I cooked everything, so I'm sorry if it sucks."

Alex giggled, "I'm sure it's wonderful."

They enjoyed the delicious meal and laughed most of the time. They sat there watching the sunset after they were finished.

"Thank you for this." Alex said. "It's seriously… I can't even describe it."

Logan smiled and looked at her, "I really like you." He said suddenly, catching Alex off guard. He turned his whole body towards her and grabbed her hands, "Even though we've only known each other for less than a week, I feel this connection with you." Alex's heart was racing so fast. "Would you be my girlfriend?"

Her heart came to a complete halt. "Uh…" She was at a loss for words. She blinked a few times before coming to her senses, "Logan, I like you too, I really do. I have strong feelings for you but…" She looked down, "But I also have strong feelings for someone else, and it wouldn't be fair to you."

Her phone interrupted the two. She looked over at her purse then back at Logan, "I'm sorry." She pulled her hands away and reached for her purse. She pulled out her phone and saw Nate's picture. Oh course… She thought.

"I'm sorry, one second." She apologized to Logan.
"Hey Nate." She answered.

"Hey Lex, what are you doing?"

She looked at Logan, "I'm actually out right now."

"Oh, with who?"

"Logan." She told him.

There was a pause on the other line. Nate took a deep breath before answering, "Oh cool. Like a date?"

"Uh, you could say that. Look I'll call you back when I get home okay? Bye." She hung up before he could answer. She looked back at him, "Sorry… um, what was I saying?"

"How you had feelings for another guy."

She looked down at her phone, "Yeah… He's a pretty big part of my life. I mean, I really like you, but it's just… complicated."

Logan leaned forward resting his arms on his legs, "I get it."

"I'm sorry." She whispered.

He shook his head, "It's alright. I should get you home."

The car ride home was kind of awkward for the both of them. They stayed quiet most of the way back to Alex's house. As he came to a stop Alex unbuckled her seat-belt. "Thanks for the night."

"Let me walk you to your door."

He got out of the car and ran to open her door. She stepped out and they walked to her front door together.

"Again, thank you for the night. It was incredible."

He nodded, "Anytime."

They embraced in a quick hug before he pulled he went back to his car. Alex waved as his car left her driveway. She walked back into her house and saw Justin sitting in the living room. "Hey." She said.

"Hey. How was the date?"

"It was good… Where's mom and dad?"

"Late shift."

"Okay, well I'm going to go shower."

He threw a peace sign up. Alex couldn't help but roll her eyes and giggle.

She entered her room and fell onto her bed.

Her phone started ringing again. She saw that it was Mitchie and instantly pressed answer. "Mitch!" She yelled.

"Hey Alex! I managed to get signal and got your message! How was it?" She asked.

"It was so perfect."
"What did you guys do?"
"He took me to his uncles' restaurant for private dinner that he cooked on a balcony overlooking LA. It was seriously the most beautiful thing ever."

"Aww, sound romantic."

"Yeah, it was, till the end."
"What happened?"

"He asked me to be his girlfriend, but I turned him down because of you know who."

"Oh sweetie, I'm sorry. I wish I was there."

"I wish you were here too. I could really use your advice."

"Well I would say-"

The line suddenly went dead. "Mitchie?" Alex asked. No response. She sighed, "Great."

Alex cleaned off and headed back downstairs. There she saw Nate lying on her couch. "Nate."

He looked up and waved, "Hey Lex. Justin's in the bathroom."

"Hey, um, that's good to know." She walked into the room, "What's up?"

He shrugged, "Was bored at home so decided to come here. How was the date?"

"It was good. Sorry I didn't call you back, I had a lot on my mind."

"It's all good. Anything you want to talk about?" He asked.

She wanted to talk about it, but not with him. She shook her head, "It's nothing." She lied. She stood up, "Well I'm going to hit the sack. I'll see you tomorrow."

Alex finally had a day where she could sleep in a nobody would wake her up, too bad she woke up at nine o'clock in the morning and couldn't get back to sleep. She got of bed and decided to surf the web. She logged onto her facebook account and saw that Miley was on.

Hey Miley.

Hey Alex. What are you doing up so early?

Couldn't sleep. -_-

Lol, I know how you feel.

So what are you doing?

Nothing, thinking about what I can do till my party. :P Want to hang?

Yeah, sure.

Alex thought about if she could tell Miley about her predicament.

I really need a girl talk.

Okay, well let me get ready and I'll be there in like an hour.

Alex got ready, throwing on a pair of jeans and a regular t-shirt. She grabbed her wallet and her phone and shoved them into her pocket before going downstairs.

"Morning honey." Jerry greeted.

"Want some breakfast sweetie?" Theresa asked.

"It looks great, but I was going to hang with Miley for a little. We might just catch a bite later."

"Oh, what are you guys going to do?" Her mother asked.

"Probably just hang out. Her pool party is tonight so I might even help her set up."

"Is she picking you up?" Theresa asked.

Alex nodded, she leaned forward and placed her elbows on the countertop, "You know, I think it's time I get my own car." She suggested. "I'm tired of getting rides from everyone else."

Jerry looked at her, "Well you would need to re-take your driver's test and get your license first."

"But you said I couldn't retake my test until my birthday."

"Exactly." He said bluntly.

"But that's in five months."

He gave her a serious look, "I'm sorry honey, but this is your punishment for not taking your first test seriously."

Alex sighed; she knew her parents were being fair. But in her defense, her driving instructor wasn't the nicest guy in the world.

A car honked outside. "I'll see you guys later." She gave them a kiss before leaving.

"Hey." She said getting into the car.

"Morning. So what do you want to do?"

Alex shrugged, "It's up to you. I'm down with whatever."

"Okay well I'm pretty hungry. Want to pick up some breakfast and head back to my house?"

"Sure. I've never seen your house before."

They went to McDonald's and went to Miley's house.
As they drove into her driveway Alex stared at her house in amazement, "Your house is amazing."

She exclaimed looking at the huge mansion.

"Yeah, but it gets pretty lonely in it." Miley said.

They both got out of the car. Alex followed behind Miley. She led her into the house, which was twice as beautiful inside as it was outside. They walked up the stairs to a large room.
"This is your room?" Alex asked.

"Yeah. Make yourself comfortable."

She walked over the bed and sat down, "Your bed is so soft."

Miley laughed, "Uhh, thanks." She jumped on. "So what do you want to talk about?"

"Well… remember that Logan guy I told you about last time."

"Oh yeah, how was the date?"

"Well the first date was cool. It was a quadruple date though so we didn't really have any privacy. So we went out yesterday just the two of us. It was the most incredible thing. He took me to his uncles restaurant and we ate on the balcony watching the sunet."
"Sound perfect."

"It was, until he asked me to be his girlfriend…"

"You didn't say yes?"

Alex shook her head, "I kind of have feelings for someone else too."

"Who?"

She looked down.

"You're going to have to tell me if you want my advice."

"Nate" She mumbled.

"Who?"

"Nate!" She looked down.

"Aww, that cute." Miley said. "He's a hard guy not to fall for."

"What do I do? I've liked him for a while, and I was going to tell him when I got back, but then I found out about Macy and Logan came into the picture. I mean, I like him too, but not as much as I like Nate." Alex explained.
Miley listened and nodded. She was thinking of a way to respond. "I think you should give that Logan guy a chance." Alex looked at her. "I mean, how many guys have you liked besides Nate?"

"Just Logan."

"So, if you give him the chance, maybe in time your feelings for him will grow stronger than your feelings for Nate."

Alex knew that she was right, but she wanted to believe that she still had a chance with Nate.

"He's with Macy." Miley said, reading her expression.

She nodded, "You're right. Thanks Miley."

"No problem."

Alex looked out of Miley's window and saw the view. She stood up and walked over. You could see a good portion of the city.

"You should see the view at night." Miley said. "The lights are beautiful."

Alex smiled and nodded. She looked down and saw the gigantic pool. She suddenly realized something. "Crap!" She shouted.

"What?"

"I just remembered I don't have a bathing suit." She said.

Miley laughed, "Really?"

Alex nodded, "I usually just wore shorts and a t-shirt."

Miley stood up and went into her walk-in closet. She came out a few seconds later holding a blue bikini, "You can have this. It's new, and I've never worn it."

Alex shook her head, "No, I can't take it."

"Just take it; I have plenty of bikinis. Plus the color goes with your skin color better."

"Thanks."

Miley dropped Alex back off at her house, "See you tonight!" She said before driving off.

The party was in three hours and Alex didn't know what to do. She really needed to think. She ran into her house and into her room. She opened her closet and pulled out her skateboard and changed into shorts. She checked Justin's room and saw that he was still sleeping.

She skated to the park and messed around a bit. She was pretty rusty. She sat on the half pipe and started thinking; this was the spot where she did her best thinking.

(Alex's POV)

What to do, what to do. Maybe I should give Logan a chance. I really like him, and he's so sweet. Plus he's really cute and funny. But then there's Nate, who I've been crushing on since before he hit puberty. He's also really cute, nice, and funny and I've known him since birth. But he has a girlfriend, who he's happy with.

I sat there thinking and I came to a conclusion.

"Lexie!" I turned my head and saw Shane skating towards me. "What are you doing here?"

"Seeing if I still got it."

He smiled and joined me, "Well do you?"

"Partially, I lost some of it." I laughed.

"The party starts soon, are you going to get ready?" He asked.

I pulled out my phone to see it that I've been here for over two hours. "Oh crap." I muttered. "Thanks." I told Shane hopping off and starting to skate home. "See you in a bit!" I yelled rolling off.

I got home and ran to my room. I threw on my suit, an over-the-shoulder sweater, and shorts. I finished right on time. I heard Justin call my name from downstairs.

He, Shane and Nate were waiting downstairs, "Are we taking one car?"

"Yeah, save some gas." Justin said. "Are you ready to go?"

I nodded and we all headed to the car.
