To recap the last chapter, Alice went to a party with a few of her friends and was dancing with an ex and he kissed her. Justin had seen this kiss but not the outburst that had followed the whole thing. Alice then went to the Russo's to talk to Justin (Though she had told her mother it was to talk to Alex). There he had confronted her about it, she told the truth and he wasn't sure to believe her or not. She told them that they should prbably take a break and left. At there own houses, they explained to their siblings (Alex and Jason) that they're going take a break. They then went upstairs to their own rooms and listen to Her Diamonds By Rob Thomas and cried, without knowing that the other was doing the same. The passage of the book I used was From To Kill A Mockingbird. Part 2. Chapter 12. Page 154. Third full paragraph down. So on with the story. Oh and yes there has been a lot of Justin/Alice. I promise that the next chapter will be mostly Jason/Alex. I promise.

Sorry Can Lead To A Second Chance
"The fact that I permanent fiance was little compensation for his absence: I had never thought about it, but summer Dill by the fishpool smoking string, Dill's eyes alive with complicated plans to make Boo Radley emerge; summer was the swiftness with which Dill would reach up and kiss me when Jem was not looking, the longings we sometimes felt each other feel. With him, life was routine; without him, life was unbearable. I Stayed miserable for two days."
Alice sighed as layed on her stomach sideways on her bed. She took the book she was reading and flipped it over. That paragraph certainly described how she felt. She traced the words To Kill A Mockingbird on the book cover. She flipped her self over onto her back and sat up for a few minutes. She then stood up, starighted her black skirt that went to a little bit abover her knees, pulled down the shorts that were underneath, and pulled down her purple puff sleeved shirt she called her "princess shirt". She made it so her black tank top showed. She slipped on the same sandals she wore yesterday. She picked up her phone and glanced down. It was a quater passed one. She shook her head as she opened her door and walked out. She walked downstairs and into the kitchen. She tossed her cell onto the table. She noticed a not from her mom on the refridgerator. It read:
Alice,
Remember to order something to eat. There's money on the counter. The movie will run until about ten, maybe eleven. see you then sweetie.
Love,
Mom.
Alice looked over the note again and looked towards the counter. Insead of going to the phone, She opened the fridge and pulled out a piece of watermelon and put it on a plate. She didn't want to get her mouth or hands sticky so she grabbed a fork and knife. She sat down at the Kitchen table, turned on the radio and started eating.
"Ahm." A voice said from above her. Alice looked up.
"Justin!" She said surprised. She wiped her mouth with a napkin. "What are you doing here?"
"I thought about what you said last night." He said taking a seat next to her. "You were right. I should have believe you." Alice looked at him through her eyebrows.
"You asked Hesper didn't you?"
"No. What happened was I was sitting at the counter at the substation, thinking a little more, and finally deciding to come and talk to you, when Hesper came up to me. She asked where you were and I said I didn't know, though I had a pretty good idea you were here. She asked me If I new about what happened between you and Don. She did tell me everything. I went into the Lair and came here."
"Well-" She started but About you now by Miranda Cosgrove came on. "Wow."
"What?" Justin asked.
"The Song. Just listen to the words, Justin." THey listened and she sang along every now and again.
"Maybe I'm worng, you decide.
Should have been strong, yet I lied.
nobody gets me like you.
Couldn't keep hold of you then
How could I have known what you meant.
There was no friend to compare to.
There's a mountain between us.
But there's one thing I sure of.
That I know How I feel about you.
Can we bring yesterday back around?
'Cause I know how I feel about you.
I was dumb,
I was wrong,
I've let you down.
But i know how i feel about you now.
All that it takes is one more chance.
Don't let our last kiss be our last.
I'm Out of my mind just to show you.
I know everthing changes,
I don't care where it takes us.
'Cause I know How I feel about you.
Can we bring yesterday back around?
'Cause I know how I feel about you now.
I was dumb,
I was wrong,
I've let you down.
But I know how I feel about you.
Not a day passed me by.
Not a day passed me by.
When I don't think about you.
And there's no moving on.
'Cause I know you're the one,
And I can't be with out you.
Can we bring yesterday back around?
'Cause I know how I feel about you now.
I was dumb,
I was wrong,
I've let you down.
But I know how I feel about you now.
Can we bring yesterday back around?
'Cause I know how I feel about you now.
I was dumb,
I was wrong,
I've let you down.
But I know how I feel about you now.
But I know how I feel about you now.
Yeah I know how I feel about you now."
"I'm so sorry Justin." Alice says. "Can we forget all about last night?"
"I'm sorry too." Justin said to her. "And to make up for the assumption I made last night," He reached into his pocket and pulled out a nicely wrapped present. "I got you this." He handed it to her.
"Oh Justin!" She said as she looked at it, holding it lightly. "You didn't have to."
"Yes I did." He pointed to it. " Are you going to open it?"
"Oh yes." She pulled the paper off of the present. It was a a metal heart-shaped box with a gold colored bow on top.
"Open the box." Alice looked at him and then looked back at the box. She opened it. "Oh my god! Justin, it's beautiful!" Alice picked up the gold bracelet with a little carousel horse charm.
"Are you going to put it on?" Justin asked.
"Would you like to put on for me?" She asked holding it out.
"Ok. He opened it and but it around a her wrist. he clasped it shut. Alice looked at it.
"I'm never taking this as long we're together." Alice said hugging him. She gave him a quick kiss. She smiled. "I have an idea. Come on." She puuled towards the back door.
"Where are we going?" They stopped in the enclosed back porch.
"Take your shoes off." She said pulling her shoes off. Justin did the same.
"Why?"
"Just trust me." She looked at him. "Do you trust me?" He looked back at her. He locked his eyes on hers.
"I do." He answered.
"Ok. Then follow me." She pulled him to the back of her yard, passed the pool to the trampoline.
"A trampoline? Are you sure?" He asked.
"Yeah. It's fun!" She started bouncing. "Come on!"
"But you're in a skirt."
"So?" She said. "I wear shorts underneath all my skirts. Just in case." She stopped bouncing. "Will you come in already or do I have to pull you in?"
"Ok. Ok." Justin said getting into the trampoline. "I'm Coming." As soon as he got in, Alice got out. "Where are you going? I thought you wanted me in here?"
"I do, Justin. Give me a moment." Alice said going into the garage and turned on the radio. Zero Gravity by David Archuleta started. She ran back and got in.
"Wow. Appropriate." Justin said.
"Yeah." Alice agreed as they jumped.
"Are you hungry?" Justin asked a hour later.
"Yeah a bit," Alice agreed as she stopped boucing. "Mom left money for a pizza, wanna order one?"
"Sure." Justin said. as he stopped. they climbed out out of the trampoline and Alice turned off the radio. "Clouds are getting dark."
"Yeah." Alice agreed. She stopped and looked into the pool. She smiled as Justin came up behind her. He smiled back and pushed her in.
"AH!" She screamed as she went in face first. Sshe came up and looked at him "What- Why'd you do that?" instead of answering, Justin smiled and jumped in.
"I thought we should take a dip." He said. and kissed passionately before she could answer. Alice wrapped her arms around his neck. He wrapped his around her waist. She warpped her legs around his waist. Alice pulled away after a little bit for need of air. She rested her chin on his shoulder.
"Justin, I-" She started.
"You what?" He asked holding her.
"I love you." She said closing her eyes.
"I love you too." He said holding her tighter. "Hold your breath."
"Why?" Alice asked.
"Trust me." Justin said. "I trust you. Do you trust me?"
"Yes." Alice said. "I do."
"Then hold your breath." Justin said and just as Alice pinched her nose, He ducked the two of them under the water. And since her legs were still wrapped around him, she went under too. Soon they popped back up and Alice put her feet back to the floor. It started to rain.
"Oh it's raining." Alice said. "I love the Rain."
"My too." Justin said. They Stood there, hugging, but soon heard a roll of thunder. Justin and Alice pulled apart. "I think we should go in now."
"Yeah. I don't want to be killed by lighting." Alice agreed and the two of them got out of the pool and went into the enclosed back porch. Alice two towels from the rack where the family kept them for the pool. She handed one to Justin.
They dried off enough to get inside. Alice pointed to the bathroom on her right. "Why don't you go in there and change?"
"I don't have any other clothes." Justin said.
"Then make some appear magically." Alice said shrugging.
"Good idea." Justin said.
"I'm going upstairs to change in my room. I'll be back." She headed to the upstairs. justin walked in and poofed some clothes up. he changed and put his wet clothes in the wet towel. He walked out and Alice walked down, holding a wet towel with her wet clothes. "I'll take those and put them in the washer and you order a pizza" She said.
"Ok." Justin said. "He handed Alice his towel and went to the phone. he dialed a number for a pizza place he found on the refridgerator and waited while it rang. Soon a heavily Italian accented man answered. "Hi, I would like one medium cheese pizza...." He ordered. He gave the address of the house. "Thank you." He said as Alice came up stairs. "pizza's on it's way." He said.
"Where'd you order from?" She asked. He pointed to the number on the refridgerator.
"There." He said.
"Oh. Cool." She said walking to the video cabinet.
"Why cool?" he asked as he followed her.
"My friend Cameron works there as a delivery man." Alice's eyes got wide. "Oh I hope we get him!"
"Why?" Justin said.
"I want him to meet you." Alice said scaning the cabinet.
"Oh." He said and looked over her shoulders. They both reached for the same DVD at the same time.
"I'm guessing you want to watch Ghost Ship." Alice said.
"yeah. I love that movie." Justin said.
"I thought you hate horror movies." Alice said.
"I don't like them much but this one's always been good." Justin.
"Oh yeah." Alice agreed. As they walked to the DVD player, a crack of thunder roared so loud that Alice jumped. Justin came and wrapped his arms around her.
"Are you ok?" He asked.
"Yeah. I never jump at this type of stuff. I usually love being home alone, especially during a thunderstorm." She said.
"Maybe you just wanted a hug?" He said into her ear.
"Maybe." She went and got a blanket. They put in the movie and watched the previews. by the time they were done, the doorbell rang. Alice got up to go get it.
"Hi Alice." The man said.
"Hey Cam." She replied.
"Your hair's wet, you get caught in this storm or just get out of the shower?"
"Oh I-" The buzzer to the washer went off. "Oh hold on a sec. Hey Justin!"
"Yeah?" he said poking his head around the corner.
"Would you mind throwing our clothes from the washer into the dryer?"
"Sure. Be right back." He said as he disappeared.
"Wait! be for you go come here."
"Ok." He walked up.
"Cam, Justin." She said. "Justin, Cameron." She introduced the two. "Cam's like my best guy friend. And Justin's my boyfriend."
"Ok Now I'm going to go change the clothes." Justin said leaving the front door and dissappearing behind the basement one.
"So back to your answer Cam." Alice said. "I was pushed into the pool by my boyfriend."
"And who's that?" He asked all serious like. "And does that Justin kid know about him?"
"Oh Ha Ha Ha. Cam." Alice said smiling and rolling her eyes. "I'm talking about Justin."
I know, just playing ya Al."
"I know." Alice handed him the money. "Medium right?"
"Yup." Cam said taking the money and counting it just to double check it was right. "Nice bracelet."
"Oh thanks Justin gave it to me."
"Anniversery?"
"No. To make up for an argument we had last night. It was so no biggy." Cameron handed her the pizza.
"I'll see you later Alice." Cameron said as he walked to the car. Alice brought the pizza to the kitchen. She picked up her phone and called her mom. It went straight to voicemail.
"Hey mom," She said into the phone. "It's me, Alice. Just wanted to tell you that Justin and I worked things out and He's here. Call me ." She put her phone down and went to get the paper plates form the cabinet. She walked back with them in her hands. He phone Rang.
"Hey Jany...." She answered. "Oh it's ok....Yeah everything's fine....Oh sure I wouldn't miss that for anything.... No. No. No. you can invite him...... I'll be fine......... I'll bring Justin along......Yeah....ok. byee." She hung up the phone just as Justin came upstairs.
"Who was that?" He asked.
"Jany. We've been invited to a party this weekend."
"Wait wasn't one of her parties that started this in the first place?"
"Yeah," She addmitted. "But you didn't come then. I said we're going, so that's you and me."
"Oh. ok." Justin said grabbing two pieces of pizza. "Wanna go watch the movie?"
"Yeah." Alice said. And they took their pizza and went into the livingroom. A half hour in and they were asleep.

About ten o'clock, the rest of the Rossi family returned home. When they opened the front door, They found Alice and Justin asleep together, on the couch.
"Well looks like they made up." Jason said as they walked in.
"What the-?!?!" Jeffery exclaimed when he looked at the couch.
"Oh, Honey did I forget to tell You?" Tessa said. "Alice called and told me that he was here and they were talking through everything."
"Yeah, you kinda did." Jeffery exclaimed.
"I'm gonna go to the Russo's and let them know that Justin's here." Jason said.
"But tomorrow's monday. It's a school day."
"No it's not Jeffery." Tessa said. "They were let out on Friday for summer, remember?"
"I'm going to go now." Jason said. and he dissappeared.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Where's Justin?" Jerry asked as he stood at the fridge. "I haven't seen him all day."
"All I know is that he went to Alice's to talk to her about last night." Teresa said.
"He's still there." Jason said as he appeared out of no were. He made Both of them Jump. Alex was sitting on the couch and she turned around..
"Jason, please don't do that!" Teresa said putting a hand to her heart.
"Sorry Mrs. Russo." Jason Appologized.
"Hey you." Alex said as she went up to him.
"Hey yourself." He said as they kissed.
"You said Justin's still at your house?" She asked.
"Yeah. He fell asleep next to my sister on the couch." Jason looked at her parents. "he's ok though. They were watching Ghost Ship." Mr. and Mrs. Russo shrugged and left the room. Alex looked at her boyfriend.
"You wanna do the same?"
"Sure." He said and they sat on the Couch, turned on a pay-per-veiw movie and at popcorn.
