This is Crazy! Chapter 7, an instant star fanfic

Spied looked back at her for a few seconds and even though her facial expression didn't change, Alex was panicking inside.

Spied: Really?

Alex: Yeah. We were supposed to be friends. But I think it feels better to be more

Spied: What if he felt the same way?

Alex: I'd be amazed

Spied: Why?

Alex: Because, my life's not a fairy tale

Spied leaned forward so their lips were only a few inch's apart

Spied: Well, neither was Cinderella's

Alex: And she still got her prince

Spied pressed his lips softly to Alex's and she happily kissed back. They kissed for a few minutes and slid closer to each other on the bed, but before anything else happened, there was a knock on the door. Alex pulled away, sighed, mumbled some profanities under her breath, then got up and opened the door. Jude and Sadie were standing there and for a few seconds Alex wished she was an only child, and then she remembered if Jude hadn't been born she wouldn't have met Spied.

Alex: Yes?

Jude: Did he cheer you up?

Alex: Yeah, he did

Sadie: Good cause Gabi just called and asked Wally to kill Tyler cause he thought they were fake dating but she's in love with him and he just broke it off for someone else-

Jude: And Tyler wants to talk to you

Alex sighed and looked at the floor for a few seconds. She turned to look over her shoulder at Spied sitting on the end of the bed. The look in his eyes was trusting, and caring, and … loving. But she couldn't. No matter how much she wanted to. She thought Jude still might have feelings for him, and she couldn't do that to Tyler after everything they said earlier. She blinked away her tears, and looked back to her sisters, who were staring at her, confused. She walked past them and into the hallway, turning back only once, and seeing the hurt clear as day on Spied's face.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When she got onto the deck the only two people who noticed her coming back were Kwest and Tyler. Kwest looked at her, his expression asking if she was okay. She shook her head, and she could tell he saw the hurt on her face, but also that he took it the wrong way. She looked back to Tyler when he walked up to her.

Tyler: I broke up with Gabi

Alex: Sadie told me

Tyler: So, are we okay now?

Alex looked up to the window of the guest room she had just been in, knowing Spied was still there cause she hadn't heard him going down the stairs. She sighed as she looked back at Tyler. She knew it was wrong, but it was so much easier…

She stepped forward and kissed him softly, guiltily noticing how happily he kissed back. She pulled back gently and forced a smile to match his own. She noticed her friends watching from the dance floor. Megan and Brooke, having gotten over it earlier, smiled for her, but Sam knew something was wrong, Alex mouthed 'Later' and Sam nodded her head. Tyler led Alex to the dance floor and they danced to Karmas "The Flame", but when it was over Darius walked out from back stage, and so did Tommy, Kwest, Sadie, Jude, Wally, Kyle, Mason, Shay, Jamie and even Spied.

When did he get out here?

She noticed the flat box in Darius's hands was wrapped in metallic purple paper with a silver ribbon and a big silver bow. He accepted the microphone from Karma when the song was over and she stepped back to join everyone else. Darius smiled at Alex as he raised the microphone.

Darius: Everyone, as you should know by now, its Alexandria Harrison's sixteenth birthday (applause) well, right now I want to give her her birthday present. So, Alex, come on up here

Alex stood in shock for a few seconds, until her friends pushed her towards the stage. She walked up the stairs on the side and towards center stage, where Darius was. Trying not to cry at the unfeeling look she saw on Spieds face as he watched her move across the stage.

Darius: Happy Birthday girl

She smiled as she took the box and removed the lid. It took a second to notice the papers underneath were a contract … to sing at G-Major! She dropped the box and everyone on stage laughed.

Alex: You can't be serious

Darius: We are

Alex: THANK YOU!

She jumped at him and hugged him tightly, he laughed as he held up the microphone.

Darius: Okay, she's going crazy because her birthday present is a contract at G-Major (lots of applause)

Alex picked up the contract, put it in the box, hugged Darius again, thanked everyone on stage, handed the box to Jude so Jude could go put it away, then walked back off the stage to dance with her friends, suddenly in a better mood.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was two weeks later and Alex was lounging in her room. She was trying to write a song, but Anyone but You was playing on the radio and it reminded her of Spied, which reminded her of the night of her party, which made her depressed, and confused, which gave her writers block. She sighed as she gave up and picked up her laptop. She hadn't talked to Spied since that night. Jude's car was back from the garage and Jude drove Alex and Sam to school and Spied drove Wally and Kyle. If SME was in the house Alex stayed in her room and she hadn't recorded anything yet because the contract wasn't official, the one given to her on her birthday was just to let her know he wanted her to work there. She signed onto AOL and sorted through her e-mail, almost having a heart attack when she got an e-mail from Spied.

Ldgtrst1- your perfect little boyfriend isn't behaving himself

It took about two minutes to comprehend what was going on and what the IM said. But when she went to reply, she relised Spied had already signed off. She reread the message and sighed. He obviously meant Tyler, and even though she knew Spied was hurt and jealous, she honestly though something was going on, something she didn't want to know. She signed off and pushed the dark thoughts from her mind, laying back down and turning off the lamp on her bedside table, but it took hours to fall asleep anyway.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day at school she could hear all the whispers and see the staring as she made her way to her locker. She tried her best to ignore it and tried to forget Spieds IM from the night before. She noticed Sam at her locker and ran over.

Alex: What is going on?!

She hissed through her teeth as she swung her locker open and stuffed her jacket and backpack in, watching Sam.

Sam: As your best friend, I need to tell the truth even when it hurts, right?

Alex: Duh, now out with it!

Sam: Gabi's saying she was with Tyler last night, and Alex, he's not denying it

Alex froze. She stopped moving and just stared blankly at Sam.

Alex: What?

Sam: There isn't any proof … but, he isn't saying it didn't happen

Maybe because I wouldn't- … no! If he did then it's his fault, not mine. So what if I wouldn't sleep with him, we've been dating two weeks fro crying out loud! If he went to her, then he wasn't worth it- … he wasn't worth it, but Spied was

She saw Spied standing at the end of the hallway, watching Sam and Alex, and even from this far away, she saw him mouth 'Told you so'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At lunch it was all over the school and it was getting increasingly hard to come up with excuses to lies to deny it, especially since Tyler still wasn't helping. She didn't feel like eating so she was sitting in the library trying once again to write a song. She was sitting on the floor in the corner and leaning against a book shelve. She noticed Tyler, Ian, and two of there other friends walk into the library and into the row of books next to her. She hunkered down to stay out of sight and eavesdrop.

Ian: Dude, were your best friends. It's not like we'd tell Alex. Now, did you or didn't you?

Tyler: Did I do what?

Ian: Sleep with Gabi last night?!

Tyler: … Yes, okay? I did

Friend 1: I thought you broke up with her the night of Alex's party

Tyler: Please, that's what I told everyone, and her acting skills came in handy in that call to her brother

Ian: You're dating both of them?

Tyler: Nope. I'm dating Alex, I'm seeing Gabi

Ian: (laughing) you're an amazing dude

Tyler: (also laughing) don't spread it around, the Harrison's have tempers and I do not want to deal with that!

The four guys laughed as they walked away, one of the other guys havingt found the book he was looking for. Alex expected to cry, but she didn't. She got mad, and then she cried. She cried because she had chosen Tyler, and he had cheated on her, instead of Spied, who she knew never would have done something like that. She pushed herself off the floor, and stormed toward the cafeteria. She went to her own table, knowing everyone was watching her. She sat down and turned to Cody, fire dancing in her eyes.

Alex: Look me in the eye and tell me you didn't know he was cheating on me

Cody: I swear Alex, I didn't! I knew Gabi was seeing someone but I didn't know it was him, I promise!

Satisfied by the look of terror on his face she sighed, and then turned to Sam.

Alex: I heard him say it

Sam: You what?!

Alex: I was in the library, he didn't know I was there, Ian asked, and he answered

Sam: That cheating jack ass!

Alex: That's not why I'm upset

Sam: Then why?

Alex: Now I know I made the wrong choice

It took a second, then sympathy washed over Sam's face.

Sam: It might not be too late

Alex: Well, first revenge. Tyler's lactose intolerant, right?

Charlie: Um, yeah?

Alex grabbed Cody and Charlie's un-opened milk cartons, opened them, and then crossed the cafeteria. She could feel all eyes on her and smirked. She stopped in front of Tyler's table and they all slowly looked up at him. She thought she saw a bit of fear in Tylers eyes before she poured the milk over his head and face.

Tyler: ALEX!

She dropped the empty cartons and fake smiled at him.

Alex: Oops, looks like I spilt a bit of milk on your face, maybe you should have GABI clean it off?!

It was obvious everyone at the table was in shock. She smirked at him then turned to Gabi.

Alex: Honey, you can have the bastard

She shook her head at the two of them then calmly walked out of the cafeteria, as soon as she was gone a lot of people started laughing at Tyler, Sam, with a smirk, just followed her friend.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Her next class was study hall and her and Sam got pass's to go to the computer lab. She logged onto the internet to do some research for her preoject in History, and got an email from Tyler. She rolled her eyes, but could use a laugh right then, and opened it anyway.

Dear Alex,

I'm sorry! It was an accident, a moment of weakness that I totally regret! She showed up and we were still friends so I let her in. We were talking ... then we werent. But she made all the moves! But I did go along with them. But I promsie I totally regret it! All I need is another chance and everything will be better! I'd take everything that happened last night back just to make things better between us! She's means nothing to me and I never meant to hurt you! Look, just give us a chance and everything can get better! I promise we can be okay again! My relationship with her is in the past and you cant hold my past against me! Im so sorry though

Tyler

Alex laughed bitterly and rolled her eyes. She moved the mouse to delete, then hesitated. Instead she clicked the 'reply' button.

You should've said no, you should've sent her home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've know that word, bout what you did with her
Would get back to me...
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You should be begging for forgiveness at my feet...
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me

I can't resist... before you go, tell me this
Was it worth it...
Was she worth this...

SCREW YOU

She clicked 'send' then closed her e-mail with a satisfied smile on her face

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that Alex had no trouble writing, and walked into G-Major that afternoon ready to record the first song for her album. She showed it to Kwest and Tommy and then to Darius. They all approved it and set up SME to do some of the background music, found an acoustic for her, and the other required instruments were tracked down. Once, the background music and vocals were laid down, Alex walked back into the sound booth alone. Tommy, Kwest, Darius, Jude, Sadie, and even SME were on the other side of the glass watching her. She nodded to Tommy who flipped the switch, and the music started flowing through the head phones.

It's strange to think the songs we used to sing
The smiles, the flowers, everything: is gone
Yesterday I found out about you
Even now just looking at you: feels wrong
You say that you'd take it all back, given one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes...

You can see that I've been crying
And you probably know all the right things: to say
But do you honestly expect me to believe
We could ever be the same...
You say that the past is the past, you need one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes...

You should've said no, you should've sent her home

You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've know that word, bout what you did with her
Would get back to me...
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You should be begging for forgiveness at my feet...
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me

I can't resist... before you go, tell me this
Was it worth it...
Was she worth this...

No... no no no...

You should've said no, you should've sent her home
