Heather's P.O.V.

I paced my room, waiting for Alejandro. I was nervous every time I met Alejandro and I had to reserve myself around him.

"I'm putting my defenses up, 'cause I don't want to fall in love... If I ever did that I'd have a Heart Attack."

Unknown to me, Alejandro was running up the steps to the floor I lived on.

I kept talking to myself. Well, it was actually more of singing, but I don't like the thought that I of all people sing about something as stupid like the feelings you have for a person. "Never put my love out on the line. Never said "Yes" to the right guy. Never had trouble getting what I want, but when it comes to you, I'm never good enough."

Outside my humble abode, Alejandro was about to knock, when he heard sounds coming inside, and pressed his ear against the door.

"When I don't care, I can play 'em like a Ken doll. Won't wash my hair, then make 'em bounce like a basketball." I laughed, thinking how true this statement was, but the laughter subsided quickly as I continued.

"But you make me wanna act like a girl, paint my nails and wear high heels," I glanced down at my prettied nails. "Yes, you make me so nervous, That I just can't hold your hand."

Outside Alejandro was smirking. Almost silently laughing over the (practically) power he had over me.

"You make me glow, but I cover up; Won't let it show," I shook my head and turned to the door, waiting to see if there was any noise, just in case someone was out there, but Alejandro had stayed as quiet as a mouse. "So I'm putting my defenses up, 'cause I don't want to fall in love. If I ever did that I think I'd have a heart attack."

I left my living room and went inside my bedroom. Alejandro had heard my retreating footsteps and carefully opened the door, peeking in, and then shutting the door behind him.

"I think I'd have a heart attack. I think I'd have a heart attack." I stopped, looking at myself in the mirror before continuing. "Never break a sweat for the other guys. But when you come around- I'm paralyzed. And every time I try to be myself, it comes out wrong, like a cry for help."

Around here I had noticed someone was my house. Of course, I assumed it was Alejandro, but I was too embarrassed to just stop and confront him.

"It's just not fair. Pain's more trouble than love is worth. I gasp for air. It feels so good, but you know it hurts."

By now, Alejandro stopped trying to be sneaky and he leaned against the door frame of my room. I saw him through my mirror and I turned away from it.

"But you make me wanna act like a girl. Paint my nails and wear perfume for you, make me so nervous that I just can't hold your hand. You make me glow, but I cover up; Won't let it show..." I stopped for second, listening for anything that he might say. "So, I'm putting my defenses up, 'cause I don't want to fall in love. If I ever did, I think I'd have a heart attack."

Alejandro walked up behind me and I could his reflection in the window I was looking out of.

Finally, I turned around. "How dare you just walk into my room and spy on me!"

"Mi amor... continue. Your voice is beautiful." He gave me a little smile.

I stuttered a moment before storming past him to my kitchen. I leaned against a counter. "The feelings got lost in my lungs, they're burning. I'd rather be numb... And there's no one else to blame."

Alejandro followed me into the kitchen. I blushed and looked away from him.

"So scared I take off and I run. I'm flying too close to the sun... And I burst into flames." I was quiet for a moment. "You make me glow, but I cover up; Won't let it show... So, I'm putting my defenses up, 'cause I don't fall in love... If I did that, I think I'd have a heart attack."

Alejandro turned my head towards him.

I froze before pushing past him. "Come on already! Let's get going."


This was really hard for me to write. I can't write Heather or Alejandro for some reason, but especially Alejandro. Could you guys please tel me if this was OK or not? Or if you think that characters would react differently. I need to write them more, so I get better. The song was Heart Attack by Demi Lovato. The pairing was Aleheather (Alejandro and Heather.) Thanks to KaylaBow for suggesting that Heather sings this song.

Thank you for reading! Please review the bad stuff, the good stuff, and leave an idea of course!
