A/N: Thank you so much for all of the reviews! Okay, so I decided to do the entire chapter in Oliver's POV. I've never done his POV before, so I hope it's all right. Please review and tell me what you think!
I walked across the hall to Alyx's bedroom, and knocked on the doorframe. The door was wide open, but I wasn't sure if she'd like it if I just waltzed right in. Alyx was lying on her stomach on her bed, flipping through some magazine while listening to her iPod. She didn't look up--who knew how loud the volume was on that thing?--so I knocked again, this time calling her name. Finally, she glanced my way, pulling the ear buds out of her ears.
"Oh, hey…sorry," she apologized, throwing the magazine haphazardly onto the floor, which was already cluttered with an assortment of other things. Smiling, Alyx stood and approached me, grabbing my hand. She pulled me into the room, greeting me with a soft kiss. "What's up?"
"Well, I know you don't want to go to the Halloween dance tonight," I stated, scratching my neck nervously. I didn't even want to bring the subject up; last time I suggested it a few days ago, she started crying. The Halloween dance had been Kylie and Alyx's thing, and I fully understood why she didn't want to go. "but I'd like to take you out somewhere, if that's okay." She considered this for a moment, while I stood there, hopeful. I wanted to go out with her as an early birthday present, and I already had a place in mind.
"Uh…sure. I'm not really dressed for going out anywhere," she pointed out, gesturing to the hoodie and pajama pants that she was currently wearing, "but if you can wait for me to change…"
"Yeah, that's fine. I'll wait." I exited the room, shutting the door behind myself. I wandered downstairs to find Mr. Winchester, to tell him that I was taking Alyx out for the night. He was fine with it, thankfully, and told me to bring her home safely by midnight. He also stated quite firmly that we were not to do drugs or consume any alcohol. I had never planned on doing either of them in the first place, but I nodded in reply anyway.
Alyx entered the living room twenty minutes later, wearing a black jean skirt and a turquoise tank top under a black jean jacket, with her favorite pair of black Converse sneakers. She looked absolutely beautiful, as always.
"Ready to go?" I asked her. She nodded. I stole the keys to her Impala off the table near the front hall, and we left.
"So, where exactly are we going?" she questioned as soon as we were on the road. I smirked.
"You'll see." I wanted to surprise her. I always loved the look on Alyx's face whenever I surprised her; it made me feel good to know that I could do something nice for her, because she had already done so much for me. However, I don't think I'll actually be able to fully repay her for saving me.
I drove downtown, and pulled into the parking lot of a brick building with the name 'Twilight' over the entrance. Once I shut off the car and pocketed the keys, Alyx threw me a confused look, unbuckling her seatbelt.
"What is this place?" she wanted to know. She got out of the car hesitantly. I slammed my door shut and walked around the front of the car to stand beside her.
"Just trust me. You'll like it." I replied, holding out my hand. She took it, and we ambled into the building. There was a small hallway to walk down before we saw a very muscular man standing behind a small desk. I paid the five dollar fee for each of us, and guiding Alyx along, we walked down a flight of dark stairs that took us underground. By that time, we could both feel and hear the music below.
"Is this a club?" Alyx asked as we descended.
"It has the best local punk music, from what I've heard." I said over the growing noise. Alyx grinned.
"Awesome!" she shouted. I had been meaning to take her here for awhile, after one of my few friends told me about it. 'Twilight' was an underground, alcohol and drug free, rock club for teenagers. Alyx and I were into the same music, so I knew right away that she'd be up for it.
The two of us stood by the entrance to the actual club, overwhelmed. The large room was dark, except for the multicolored lights sweeping over the crowd. There were a ton of people mingling, dancing and even moshing in a huge mosh pit that was in front of the stage. On stage, a local band was rocking out to their set. Alyx and I stood off to the side, enjoying the band. When the band was done with their set, there was still music playing over a sound system so people could continue dancing.
"Oh, I love this song!" Alyx yelled, turning to me. I listened closely, and recognized the song, only because I had heard Alyx play it on her stereo a lot. However, I didn't know who sung it, or even what the title of it was. "Want to dance?" she asked eagerly, pealing off her jean jacket and throwing it over a nearby chair. I nodded, and taking her hand, I led her onto the dance floor, among the other couples. We danced close, the bass pulsing through our bodies.
You make me so hot
Make me wanna drop
You're so ridiculous
I can barely stop
I can hardly breathe
Suddenly, Alyx moved even closer, which I didn't think was physically possible. Her arms wrapped around my neck, her torso pressed against mine, and her gentle curves moved in rhythm with my hips.
You make me wanna scream
You're so fabulous
You're so good to me baby, baby
You're so good to me baby, baby
I wrapped my arms around her waist, holding her protectively. I placed a kiss into her soft, strawberry-scented hair, feeling like the luckiest guy in the entire room. How did I ever manage to deserve such an amazing girl?
Kiss me, gently
Always I know
Hold me, love me
Don't ever go
Alyx caught me slightly off guard when she pressed her lips against mine, and we shared a lingering kiss. I suddenly found myself thinking, was this song sending some kind of subliminal message? It sure seemed that way…
I broke the kiss just as the song ended, and we continued dancing when the band resumed their show. When I remembered to check the time, it was ten minutes to twelve, and I had promised to have Alyx home by midnight, so we had to leave.
"I had an amazing time it was so much fun I really, really want to go back there it was soooo cool the band was awesome I mean they totally rocked thank you so much Oliver you are the best…" Alyx said on the way home, speaking rapidly, like she often does when she's excited about something. I listened, though, laughing as she rambled on, waving her hands in the air. I couldn't help it; she was just so…adorable. Especially when her bright, green eyes sparkled as she grinned. I don't think I've ever seen her smile so much.
When we arrived at the house, Alyx and I walked upstairs (after checking in with Mr. Winchester), deciding that it was good idea to get some sleep. We were both pretty beat from all that dancing.
"Thank you, Oliver." Alyx said again, standing in the doorway of her room. She gave me another kiss before we went our separate ways for the night.
The next morning--October 31st, Alyx's birthday--at about nine-thirty, I crept into Alyx's room. She was still asleep, lying on her side, arm dangling over the edge of the bed. She looked so peaceful; I didn't have the heart to wake her. Instead, I set the card, the bouquet of roses, and the box of chocolates (that I had gotten up at seven-thirty to get for her) on the bedside table and started to slowly exit the room. Unfortunately, I forgot about a certain creaky floorboard, and the loud, unnatural noise made Alyx stir. She sat up, and stared at me groggily.
"Oliver?" she whispered. I turned around. She went to look at the clock on the table beside her bed and saw the card, roses, and box of chocolates there. Her eyes widened. I smirked and took a seat on the edge of her bed. She picked up the card and roses, setting them in her lap. She read through the card with a smile.
"Oh, Oliver, thank you…these are beautiful." She gestured at the roses. After peeking into the box of chocolates, she leaned over to give me a kiss.
"Happy birthday, Alyx." I told her.
We spent the rest of the day with Alyx's family. We ate cake and ice cream, and she opened presents. In the evening, the two of us sat on the couch and watched some horror movie marathon on TV. She ended up falling asleep on my shoulder at about two in the morning; not that I minded. I loved having her next to me.
One day, I knew we would be together permanently, as a married couple. Being with her for the rest of my life would make me the happiest guy in the entire world…
