A/N: Okay, I totally forgot to post this last night, but I'm posting now!
Chapter Seven-Not Standing Around
not letting it go
June 15th, 2:33pm
Alexz was ignoring Tim. Tim was annoyed. He just wanted things to go back to how they used to be, was that so much to ask for? Apparently yes.
As Jake and Laci made out on the couch, Tim slipped past them and out the back door. Once outside, he walked over to Alexz who was staring out at the backyard. Tim sat down next to her in the grass, sighed, and rested his head in his hands.
"Look, if you're acting this way because of the dance then . . ."
"What dance? It didn't happen, remember? And if it did, it was a mistake. Or are you really that stupid and don't remember your own words." She stood up and walked back into the house, leaving him sitting there, feeling like more of an idiot than before.
He needed to fix this. But how?

Tim gently knocked on her bedroom door and entered quietly. She acknowledged his presence, but kept her concentration on the song she was writing.
"What do you want?" She bit harshly as she took a brief moment away from her song.
"I wanted to talk." She pushed her notebook aside and turned her gaze toward him. He took that as his cue to continue. "I'm sorry about the other night, not about what happened in the kitchen, but about what I said. It wasn't a mistake and I don't want to put it behind us."
"You're wrong, it wasa mistake and I'd rather forget about it. Okay? You can go now." She waved him away and he left reluctantly.
Truth be told, she didn't want to forget. But she was scared. And now she was hurting him. But it was better this way. It had to be.
Tim leaned against the wall beside her door and he realized something; Laci was wrong, Alexz didn't need him.
If only he knew how wrong he was.
