This isn't edited and I'm sorry. Yeah, it's late and probably shit but I hope you like it.

There's a link to Ali and Lex's pajamas on my profile, if you want yo see it.


Matt's Point of View:

I was busing a table when I heard the bell above to door at the Grill ring. I looked up and saw Ali coming skipping inside. She sat at the bar and tapped her fingers against the wood as she waited for me. I finished putting all of the dishes into my container before sliding under the bar and walking over to her.

"Hey Ali, what's up?" I asked, pulling out a rag to rub down the bar. "Lex isn't here, she's with Jeremy somewhere."

"I know that, I'm here because I don't have any other friends really. Can I hang out here with you for a while?" she asked.

"No, just do what you want. I'm going to be working while you're here," I said, kissing the top of her head as I walked behind her.

Ali was like a little sister to me because of how close I was to Lex. The thought of Lex made my heart ache a little bit because I missed her so much. I wasn't clingy or anything, I just didn't like her being out of my eyesight. Especially when we were two of the only humans in a town overran with vampires, she was an easy target. I'd almost had a heart attack when Klaus took her before and it sure as hell wasn't going to happen again.

I pushed away from the bar and made my way over to a couple that had just walked in. He had his arm wrapped tightly around her shoulders and she had hers wrapped around his waist. They were laughing and I could practically feel their happiness. I smiled as I pulled out the order pad and went to work, the faster I got this done meant the faster I got to go home and get Lex.


It was closing time and Ali was helping me clean up before we left. She'd stayed here with me all day and kept me entertained while I worked. I couldn't help but like her even if she was a little bit annoying at times.

I heard the bell above the door ring and turned around to see Jeremy running in with Lex on his back. They were both laughing and looked a little bit sunburnt; I guess they had a good day together. Jeremy stopped in front of the bar across from Ali and me before setting Lex down on her feet.

"Hey babe, how's your day been?" she asked, standing on her tiptoes and kissing me lightly.

"Ehh, it was a day at work. Ali came over earlier and made it a little bit more livable though," I said, winking at Ali before sliding across the bar and wrapping my arms around Lex's waist. "I missed you so much, though."

She just nodded before pressing her face to my chest and holding onto me. I had my chin resting on top of her head when I caught Jeremy's gaze. He looked a little bit pissed off but I couldn't figure out why. I was just holding my girlfriend like I did all of the time. There wasn't anything going on that didn't go on all of the time. Oh well.

"After I clean up, we're going to go get some movies and have a lazy night. How does that sound?" I asked as Ali and Jeremy walked towards the door. "You guys don't have to leave! You can come over tonight too if you want."

"Yeah, that sounds really fun. I'll call my mom and ask if I can. Lex, come over here with me while I call," Ali said, holding out a hand to Lex.

She begrudgingly broke herself away from me and took Ali's hand. When they were out of hearing range, I moved over to Jeremy. He was staring steadily at the wood on the bar instead of at me. I felt my eyebrows raise, he only did that when something happened that he didn't want to tell me.

"What happened with you and Lex today? You didn't make out or anything did you?" I laughed, pushing his shoulder.

He laughed slowly along with me before saying, "No, I didn't do anything like that. It's just; I think that, I maybe, sort of, might have a thing for her."

I felt my breath stop for a second as my smile fell from my face. Did Jeremy just say that he might be falling in love with my girlfriend? My best friend may be falling for my girlfriend?


Lex's Point of View:

I was standing outside the Grill with Ali as she talked to her mom. I leaned back against the bricks and kicked at the rocks near my feet. I couldn't even begin to explain what had gone down between me and Jeremy today.

We didn't kiss or anything but we got so close that it wasn't funny. I was on his back at some point as we ran through fields, being goofy and fun. It reminded me a lot of how Matt and I used to be before everything got so serious.

When Ali got off the phone I grabbed her arm and said, "Would it be bad if I thought about kissing Jeremy today?"

She stopped moving and looked at me in shock. "Are you serious? You have an amazing boyfriend but you're still thinking about Jeremy? You can't have two gorgeous boys fight for you, that's not fair. Even if it is hot, it's not fair to everyone."

I just sighed before making my way back towards the Grill. I should've known better than to try and ask her for advice. She had a total one-track mind and once she got started it was almost impossible to get her to stop.

I just shrugged it off and walked up to Matt and Jeremy. They looked like they were about to lay into each other so I stepped in between them. Jeremy backed away and Matt wrapped his arms around my waist protectively, pressing me against his chest.

"Let's get going I want to start watching the movies!" I said, pulling away from Matt and directing everyone towards the door.

I got into my car with Ali while Jeremy drove over with Matt. I had some pajamas in my duffle bag for me and I'm sure there was a pair for Ali too. When we got to Matt's I pulled her up to the bathroom and handed her a pair to change into.

I realized that my tank top didn't cover all of my stomach when I walked into the living room and Matt's eyebrows rose. I just left it before cuddling into his side as Ali picked out a movie from the pile of them on my backpack.

I figured she'd chosen something scary so I laughed when "Hotel Transylvania" started playing. I loved this movie; it made me laugh at how corny vampires were in it. It also made me forget how stressful my life was sometimes.

I felt Matt sucking on the back of my neck as the movie played on. I pushed him off a couple of times and he groaned before pushing me off of his chest. He stalked upstairs and I heard the bathroom door slam shut. I sighed before looking over at Ali and Jeremy to see that they were both staring at me.

"I'm going to go see what's got his panties in a bunch. I'll be right back," I said before standing up and running upstairs after Matt.

I knocked on the bathroom door and waited for him to open it. When he ignore me, I pushed it open myself and closed it behind me. He had the window open and a cigarette dangling from his fingers outside it.

"You smoke now? When did that happen?" I asked, placing my hands on my hips as I stared at him angrily.

He shook his head before snubbing out the cigarette and throwing it out the window. "I don't do it all the time, just when I'm stressed out. It takes the edge off of me."

I rolled my eyes and I started tapping my foot. "I'm sure you're going to love it when you get lung cancer and you die. You need to stop it, it's unhealthy."

"You're really telling me what I should do right now? After you went out with Jeremy today and made him think that there was something between you," he said, his face turning red with rage.

I stepped back until my back was flush with the bathroom door. "I don't know what you're talking about, Matt. I went out with Jer today but it was just friendship, nothing else. I love Jeremy but I'm in love with you."

He stepped forward until our chests were pressed together. I don't know what I thought he was going to do, but it never occurred to me that it was going to be a kiss. He held my cheeks tightly in his hands and his lips fought harshly with mine.

This was going to be fun.
