I am soooo sorry for not updating sooner, but school's just stressing me out.

I only finished all my exams on monday...

Ok, so yeah, here goes the next chapter, enjoy... if anyone's still reading this...

What happened last time:

God, what is this girl doing to me?

I took a step towards her, putting both my hands on her cheeks.

"You're so beautiful when you cry" I whispered against her lips, brushing them ever so lightly with mine. Then I closed the gap between us.

The world around us disappeared.

I didn't care that there were people around us, people that could see us. All that I could think about was how her lips felt against mine. As we pulled apart our foreheads stayed together and I brushed my thumb over her lips.

"I'm so sorry" she whispered. I didn't trust my voice, so I only nodded.

Maybe I overreacted, I'm not sure. But the pain in my heart grew bigger the farther I walked away from her.

It's been a week since the incident with Mitchie.

We've been great, even though I didn't tell my parents about us yet.

I wanted to, I did, but I was just so scared of what they'd say.

I may always acted like I didn't care, but truth is: I did.

Apparently a few guys from school saw me kissing Mitchie the other day. I've been getting a lot of crap from people in school ever since.

But I had Harper and Justin at my side, yes, you did hear correctly. I said Justin.

He approached me about two days ago.

---------------------------------------------flashback---------------------------------------------------

I sat in my room, just flipping through some magazines, when I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in" I said, not taking my eyes off the page I was currently scanning with my eyes.

The door opened and revealed Justin standing in front of it.

He walked in and closed the door behind him.

"Hey" he sounded nervous.

"Mm.. hey?" I took my eyes off the magazine, looking at him.

He looked at his hands, which were fiddling with his shirt.

I waited a few seconds for him to speak up, when he didn't, I did.

"Does this visite have a special point to it?"

"I..yeah, listen..I..I.."

"Just spit it out already"

He took a seat beside me on my bed.

"I, I heard the rumors..." he said quietly.

"And now you want to know if they're true" I finished for him.

"I...yeah"

I looked at him, straight in eyes.

Ok, here goes..

"It's true" I said simply.

I expected him to jump up and yell at me, that it's wrong and that I'm disgusting or something.

But he didn't.

He was quiet for a few seconds, before he looked up from his hands.

He looked at me, a small smile slowly forming on his lips.

He put his hand slowly over mine that was resting on my thigh.

"I just want to tell you, that I ain't got a problem with it, you know."

Tear welled up in my eyes.

When did I become such a softy?

"Thanks, that really means a lot" I managed to get out.

"Aww did I get tough Alex to cry?" he joked.

"Jerk!" I shoved him lightly, a few tear making their way down my cheeks while I laughed.

His face turned serious again.

"You're my little sister, I love you no matter what, I just want you to be happy, as cliché as it may sound, it's true" he smiled.

I smiled as more tears made it's way down my cheeks.

As much as I don't want to admit it, he's a pretty good brother

I told myself.

"So I guess Mom and Dad don't know?!"

I shook my head, no.

"When are you planing on telling them?"

"I-I don't know, I tried, but I never go all the way, I don't know why, I just can't"

He nodded in understanding.

"Me and Mitchie never talked about us, I mean about us, like about what 'we' are"

Again he nodded.

"Then maybe you should do that first" he said.

"Yeah I guess so" I smiled slightly.

"Good" he smiled and got up.

"Justin?"

He turned around, his hand leaving the doorknob.

"Yeah?"

I stood up and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"I love you" I said into his shoulder.

He wrapped his arms around me tightly.

"I love you too Alex" he said.

I released him, smiling.

He walked out.

------------------------------------------end flashback----------------------------------------------

Since I told Justin the truth or relationship got way better.

Justin even got in trouble for me today.

Some jerk was making fun of me and insulting me, telling me how disgusting I was.

Justin came over and told him to stop.

He didn't so Justin punched him. Right in the face.

He had to go see the principle and Mr. Larritate called our parents.

Justin didn't say a word on why he hit that guy.

He said something about floss and action figures, which didn't make sense at all, but hey, it's still Justin, he's not good at lying, at least he tried, which I was really thankful for.

Justin got suspended.

I came home from school and went up to his room right away.

I knocked on the door.

"Come in"

"Hey" I poked my head into his room.

"Hey"

The rest of my body followed my head inside the room.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault" I said quietly, looking at the ground.

"No Alex. It wasn't you fault at all, you didn't do anything. It was my fault, I shouldn't have hit him. But I'm not going to apologize like mom and dad want me to.

It felt right at that time, and you know what I always say: Don't apologize for something you don't regret."

I wrinkled my eyebrows in confusion.

"You never say that" I pointed out.

"Yeah, but I think it all the time" He smiled.

I sat down next to him.

"Thank you, for defending me, it really meas a lot to me"

He put his arm around my shoulder, pulling me into him.

"That's what big brothers are for, right?" He smiled.

"Yeah I guess, but thanks anyway" I smiled back.

"So what punishment did you get?"

He sighed.

"I'm grounded for a month, no TV, no phone, and they took my comics and action figures"

I hung my head in shame. I still felt like it was my fault.

"That sucks, I'm sorry."

"Yeah it does suck" he smiled sadly.

"I'm gonna get you a few comics, so you're not totally bored in here" I smiled.

"Awesome!"

"Just like write down which ones you want and I'll get them when I come back from Mitchie's place, k?"

"Sound's good to me, thanks by the way, I think I'd go crazy in here without anything to do" he said with a serious face.

"I'll be back in ten, so start writing, oh and don't write down too many, I only got 25 bucks"

I laughed.

"Oki doki" he said and started searching for a pen and paper.

I shook my head and laughed at his dorkyness.

Dorkyness? I'm just too funny!!

I thought to myself as I walked out of his room.

I have to talk to Mitchie today, I can't not tell my parents that he was only defending me. It's not fair that he gets punished for doing that!

I changed into a clean t- shirt and put on some new vans that matched with my shirt.

SO now I was clad in a purple "Parachute" shirt, black skinny jeans and purple - black checkered vans.

I got the list from Justin and went to see Mitchie.

I came to stop in front of her building not 15 minutes later.

I rung the bell and it didn't took long for her to open.

I walked up the stairs and saw Mitchie leaning against the door frame.

"Hey" she smiled.

"Hey yourself" I laughed. I came to stop in front of her.

She leaned in and pressed her lips against mine. When she pulled back she was smiling brightly.

She led me into her room.

As soon as I closed the door behind me I was pinned up against it, her lips attacking mine.

I wasn't paying too much attention to her lips though.

My thoughts wandered to Justin, how he was all alone in his room, just sitting there with nothing to do, and that only for defending me.

As much as I tried to concentrate on her lips, I just couldn't.

I guess she must've felt it too, because she pulled away.

"You ok?"she asked, looking at me, brushing my bangs out of my face.

"Yeah, I … no...I don't know"I slipped from her grasp and walked over to her bed running my fingers through my hair.

I sat down, a few seconds later I felt a weight beside me.

Mitchie took my hand in hers.

"Come on, tell me what's wrong"

"I just... what are we Mitch?" I looked at her.

"What do you mean?" she asked, confusion was written all over her face.

"This" I pointed to our joined hands.

"I – I don't know, I guess you're my girlfriend and I'm yours, I – I mean only if you want us to be an us, and not just and you and me or me and y-" that's when I cut off her ramble with my lips.

After I released her lips she let her eyes stay closed for a few seconds longer.

"I guess that means yes?" she asked, her eyes still shut.

"That's a yes" I smiled, leaning in again.

We kissed for a while, well more like made out.

She turned me over, so that she was on top of me. Our lips never parted once in the process.

She was also the one to deepen the kiss, running her tongue over my bottom lip.

Right after I granted access our tongues began to fight for dominance.

Our hands roamed all over each others body. From faces to to shoulders to backs, and back again.

I slipped my hands under her shirt, slowly trailing up.

Running my fingers over her ribcage, till I reached the side of her breasts.

She didn't stop me so I ran my hands along beneath her breasts, then slowly cupping them in my hands.

That's when I felt her hands pull mine away.

She sat up slowly, breaking our contact, breathing heavily.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone that far" I ran my fingers through my hair.

"It's ok, I got a little carried away myself" she smiled.

Then she got off of me, and lay down next to me.

I snuggled into her side, laying my head on her shoulder.

She wrapped her arms around me.

"I want to tell my parents...about us I mean" I said quietly, waiting for her reaction.

"Oh, cool, I guess" she said.

"Oh cool I guess? That wasn't really the reaction I was expecting, but ok..." I smiled.

"How did you expect me to react then?"she laughed.

"I don't know, something like: Oh Alex! Finally, I am so happy, I could jump you" I laughed, winking.

Before I could react I saw a pillow coming my way.

It hit my nose.

"Ow!" I said in a baby voice, rubbing my nose, pretending to be hurt.

"Ow?! You're such a wimp" Mitchie laughed.

"A wimp? Take that back" I looked at her sternly.

Mitchie just laughed harder.

"I'm s-sorry,b- but you're just too cute" she got out while slowly calming down.

I frowned.

"Aww, baby I'm sorry, you know I love you, wanna try again to make me scared?" she asked giggling.

"Oh, you'll regret that one" I said, throwing a pillow at her.

We wrestled around in her bed for a good 10 minutes before we both agreed to a truce.

We were both sweating and panting for air.

We lay next to each other, just looking at each other.

After about 10 minutes Mitchie spoke up.

"Do you want me to be there? Wen you tell your parents I mean"

"I don't know, do you want to be there?"

"I guess I do, I want to support you, but if it's easier for you if I'm not there, then I'm ok with that too" she smiled shyly.

I reached out and placed a hand on her cheek.

"If you want to be there, then I want you to be there too" I smiled and closed the gap between us.

The kiss was gentle and slow, but filled with passion all the same.

It didn't last long, after Mitchie pulled away she just snuggled into my side.

I guess we must have fallen asleep, because when I opened my eyes it was starting to get dark and her alarm flashed 7.18 pm.

Shit, the comic shop closes at 7.45, I need to hurry.

God Mitchie looks so gorgeous when she sleeps jus- ohh Alex focus!

You promised Justin. Great now I'm talking to myself in my head.

sooo... how do I get out of her grip, god I swear she's like a python, the more I struggle the stronger her grip gets.

I wiggled my way out from under Mitchie and stood beside her bed. I looked at the alarm: 7.22 pm.

Great... wow, took me longer than I thought it would.

I searched for a pen and paper. Her room was the exact opposite to mine.

My room was..let's say a...creative mess.

Her room was tidy.

Not the least bit of dirt anywhere.

I knew that Mitchie always had a few sheets of paper in the top drawer of her desk.

I took one sheet out and took a pen from her desk.

Mitch, I had to go, had to get some stuff for Justin, I didn't want to wake you, you looked so adorable sleeping, I'll call you later, promise.

Love, Alex 3

I lay it on the pillow next to her and made my way out.

I reached the comic store about 10 minutes before it closed.

I got all the comics Justin wanted and went home.

6 bucks for a few sheets of bad sketched figures??!!

That's just stupid.

I thought to myself as I looked through one of the comics while I waited for the subway.

When I got home the shop was already closed and I could hear yelling from upstairs.

I ran up the stairs and saw my parents standing in front of Justin, screaming at him.

"You're going to apologize!" I heard my mom yell.

"No I won't" Justin yelled back.

"Don't talk to your mother in that tone" my dad told him.

"You broke his nose Justin! That poor guy did nothing and you just hit him!" my mom told him, her voice still loud, but she wasn't screaming anymore.

"I'm not going to apologize to that assho-" he stopped himself.

I was shocked to say the least, I was used to my parents yelling at me, but never Justin.

And he talked back at them, and only because of me.

He'll get in even more trouble.

"Oh Justin believe me, you will apologize, or else..." my mom started.

"Or else what?" He got louder.

"Don't you dare raise your voice against your mother!" I saw my dads face starting to go red.

"Or else...we won't allow you to go to wizard school this year!" my mom told him angrily.

"What? You can't do that!" Justin yelled.

"Oh watch me, I'm your mother I can!" mom yelled back.

Justin was near tears at that moment, I don't know if it was because he was so angry or because he was sad.

I never knew wizard school was that important to him...

"Stop!" the words left my mouth before I even realized that I said them.
