Alex's P.O.V
I stood in my room staring blankly at the wall as my mother entered. I really didn't have time for what she was going to say, besides I never went with Mitchie, I don't think I've even told her we could be friends, she just made me do some weird things that I couldn't control. I walked over to my bed crossing my arms as I fell onto my back and stared up at the ceiling. My mom sat to the right of me but still no words were exchanged. I really wanted to just be alone, I could feel tears push there way towards my eyelids but I forced them to retreat and take cover somewhere else.
"Alex," I heard my mother's voce reach my ears, I don't know why but the barrier I had holding my tears back was falling because her gentle voice mad me want to let them all fall free. "I didn't know that…I mean, I never would of….well the way you dressed was always…," I knew she was thinking I was into Mitchie, But I'm not and I never was…huh who am I kidding, I liked her more than any other person I've been around and its sad to say but I liked her more than life itself. "I just.."
"Mom I'm not dating Mitchie," I spoke harshly as she sighed and made her way closer towards the middle of my bed where I lay. She hovered over me staring down into my face and that's when it happened, all barriers broke and tears poured from my eyes, but I didn't whimper or make any sound, I just let them fall, rolling down onto my cheeks and hitting the sheets under my head.
"Its okay to cry Alex, and I'm totally okay with you liking her its just…"
"I don't like her mom," I yelled but in a tone that was only loud enough for her and whoever else was on this floor to hear she placed her fingers onto my cheeks before brushing away a few tears. I moved my head and sat up.
"Alex, I accept it okay, I'm just a little confused myself about this.."
"Well I'm not confused…I don't like her," I screamed once again before heading into my bathroom and slamming the door shut. I locked it and placed my back on the hard wood sliding down until my knees and chin connected. I wrapped my fingers across my legs and sobbed into them. My mom came to the bathroom door but I didn't answer, she spoke through it but I just flicked on the shower to drown her words out. She stopped speaking to me after a while as the bathroom grew dark, I knew it was night but I didn't want to move, the shower was still running but it sounded quieter than earlier so I just shut it off. The house was calm, nothing moved and everyone must have been in bed because when I went back into my room to close the door no one was in there waiting to cheer me up.
The door locked and I crawled into bed with my clothes on placing my face deep into the soft pillows as more tears, although I thought there were all gone, poured out. I barley got any sleep because every few minutes I would check the clock, I would forget Mitchie and only be reminded of her when I thought about why I was crying…then after a half of night of crying over Mitchie it switched to anger but towards Harper.

Mitchie's P.O.V
I sat up in my bed as the sun blinded me with its greeting rays. I didn't care to climb out of bed although my alarm clock went off at least five times already.
"Honey please get ready for school," I heard my mother's muffled voice from the door but I just slammed my face into my covers and shook my head as if she could see me. She left after that and I pulled myself from under my sheet and grabbed my purple song book before flipping through the pages, every last one of them had Alex's name plastered at the top. Tears dripped onto the unexpected pages as I read the lyrics until my alarm, once again, went off and I dropped the book heading over to the noise. When my hand reached the buttons I stopped and clicked the thing off before walking into my bathroom. My eyes were red, I had slight bags under them since I woke up on and off again through the night thinking about how I was going to explain Harper's actions. After I studied myself I jumped into the shower and turned on the water, it was cold but I didn't care, but then again I didn't need to cool off, so with a flick of my wrist the hot water blended with the cold creating the perfect temperature.
I stood under the harsh pressure before scrubbing myself clean and heading into my room dripping wet. I stepped over my sing books and guitar before picking up a towel and drying off. Then I searched through my chair where all clothes were tossed, mostly clean and poked through them until I found a tight black top and dark jeans. I slid them on with my clean underwear and found my calf boots to wear. After getting dressed I stared at the clock, I would be later for first and be sent to detention but I really didn't care, I dragged myself outside where my mom was waiting.
"Mitch thanks to you I'm going to be late"
"I'm sorry mom," I whispered as her hand landed on my shoulder and she leaned into me and placed her lips on my damp hair before pulling back.
"I'm sure whatever happened last night…," my mom stopped speaking and started the car. I never told her I liked Alex but I wonder if she knew. She drove me to school and before I stepped out she spoke again. "Have a great day honey, and I know you and Alex will work things out," I turned to her raising my eyebrow. "A mom knows these things, and when I was cleaning your room I kinda.."
"Thanks for going through my things," I said before hoping out of the car and slamming the door. She wasn't mad that I liked a girl? She was acting weird, but then again she was always accepting of me. I was about to reach the front school door until someone pulled me back, I feared for the worst that it would be Harper again and since school had already started fifteen minutes ago no one was around to witness this.
"Hey beautiful," I turn and shake at the sound of the girl's voice. Her hand strokes my hair before she slides her hand into mine. "You're late," she spoke as I tugged my hand away. "Rude much?" she asked smiling before disappearing in the school. I stood at the front doors until I decided that I would walk around the back, I was going to be in detention anyway so what was the point of taking the long way around? My eyes stayed on my feet until I wound up knocking into someone's back.
"Dude watch…oh hey Mitchie," it was Alex's brother Justin.
"You're late too?"
"No, I have to give these tardy slips out so kids can head to detention," Justin smiled as I looked around before placing my hand in front of him. "I won't count you as being late," he smiled at me and I don't know why but I just recently felt that everyone wanted to touch me.
"I um, I'll be getting to class," I said as he smiled before I pushed past him, I could feel his eyes on my back and it made my stomach turn and heart race. I saw Harper turn the corner with a pitiful look on her face when I was near the detention hall. She spotted me and began walking my way so I turned around and walked faster down the hall. I sweat I felt her breath on my neck so I looked back and she picked up speed, and for the first time since I've been here she was in pants, Harper was in pants, and she looked more normal than usual, she didn't have fruit hanging from her ears.
"Mitchie," she yelled as I reached the steps holding my backpack strap with one hand and skipping up the stairs two at a time and as I hit the top flight she wasn't behind me anymore. I looked down but she wasn't there. My heart was beating in my ears so loud that I couldn't hear anything except thumping. I breathed out deeply and turned around to see an upturned face starring at me. My hands shook as Harper placed her hand on my wrist. Scream Mitchie…make some noise…do something. I placed my free hand onto Harper's and pulled back but she grabbed me tighter and drug me near a bathroom. My eyes grew big as soon as I saw where we were heading.
"Stop…let go of me," I wasn't about to go back into a bathroom with her. She turned back towards me and pressed the palm of her other hand over my mouth and nose and held it there. She was stronger than me, but I didn't give up, I wrapped my hands around her arm and drug my nails into them, pulling back skin, but then we reached the bathroom and my feet that I was kicking opened the door and she shoved me in. She didn't lock it this time she just came over to me and slapped me hard as I gripped my cheek and tears formed in my eyes. I could feel the spot on my skin that she hit heat up from under my fingers. She stared down at her arm where four long marks bled.
"You see what you did?" she asked as I walked backward, but I was on guard not to touch the wall. "I am so going to hurt you," she said as she looked up at me. My heart burned, I didn't want to be in that stupid bathroom anymore, I wanted to just tell Alex the truth if she believed me or not. Harper made her way over to me and I ran into a stall and locked it, pulling myself and my knees close together.
"Open that door Mitchie," I heard her say as I grabbed my phone from my bag…the only number that sat in it was my mom's, I didn't get Alex's number but I gave her mine. I felt defeated as she looked under the stall at me. "This isn't funny," she said as she stood and began kicking the stall door. That's when someone walked into the bathroom and Harper stopped and walked up tot the person.
"Hey Alex, what are you doing in here?" she asked as the girl pushed past her and towards the mirror. I felt like it was my only shot to get out of there safely so I stood and unlocked the door exposing myself to Alex.
"Oh sorry if I was ruining something," she said turning towards the door.
"Alex please let me talk to you," I said as she continued to head for the door I stepped up but Harper blocked me. "Please," I sounded horrible, my voice shook and a few tears streamed down my cheeks as she stopped and turned towards me. Harper moved out of her way but not before her burning eyes gave me a message that only she understood but I feared.
"Fine Mitchie, but if this is about me and you, I'll deny it, because we never dated and we never will, I was just…I wasn't being myself around you," she shrugged her shoulder before I looked down at my hands. My heart burned worse now. My cheek hurt and my fingers tingled because of how close the girl was to me. "Umm Mitch you have something to say?" she asked as Harper scoffed.
"I was just telling her that the kiss she gave me was wrong," Harper lied as Alex looked at her friend before her eyes went back on me. She looked crushed as I bit my bottom lip as to know sob all over the place.
"That's not true," I added as Alex eyes shifted around my entire body, I'm sure she was trying to find a lie, but there wasn't one.
"I can't believe either one of you," she said turning to leave.
"Alex I love you," I stopped…it seemed so awkward to say and at a moment like this, I barley knew her but I didn't choose her my heart did.
"When someone loves someone they don't do this Mitchie," she pointed to Harper as her friend's face scrunched up.
"Please it hurts too much…," I didn't know what else to say so I only said what I felt and she nodded.
"It does hurt, and I've never felt like this before even after I've dated someone for a month and broke up with them, it burns, it feels like hell, but I'm not the one doing this Mitchie you are," she walked out of the bathroom and left Harper as furious as ever. My hands went over my face as I leaned onto the wall pouring my heart out into them. I could since Harper but I didn't look up and her hand connected with the small part of my face that was exposed and when she came in to hit me again I moved over and her hand hit the wall with a loud smacking sound. I ran out of the bathroom and down the hall, my heart was racing once again but not because of Harper, because I heart Alex, and it wasn't really me who was doing it.

Alex's P.O.V
I sat in front of Mr. Laritate as he ate his lunch. I still wasn't hungry and my heart burned because I didn't forgive Mitchie. Stupid heart, My head tells me she's wrong but my heart is saying forgiver her and what if there was more behind that kiss then I think. What if Harper…wait…Harper does like her, and Mitchie…I stood up as Mr. Laritate pointed back at the seat, as I took it. I was ready to talk to Mitchie but when the last bell rang for the day she wasn't at her locker. Harper was shifting through things in hers as I headed over to her.
"Have you seen Mitchie?" I didn't want to talk to her but then again I needed to give them both a fair chance to tell me their sides, but weirdly enough I wanted to here Mitchie's first.
"Can't say that I have seen her"
"Ugh, oh Justin," I walked over to my brother as he held onto Max's arm.
"Yea"
"Have you seen Mitchie?"
"Not since this morning"
"Well…," I looked around the school but still no Mitchie, so I dug into my pocket and pulled out her phone number, I wrote it down even though I was mad, because something inside of me said I'd get over this little thing. Damn my heart, its always making a fool out of me.
