Review!

Lexi POV

Alex looked at me, with disgust spread across his face. I couldn't stand to watch him look at me like that. I opened my mouth to speak, but he walked out of the room before I could say anything.

"I should go," Kevin mumbled awkwardly, standing up. I shook my head and ran after Alex. I shoved past everyone, ignoring all the questions and confusion.

I ran for a while, even when my legs felt like they were about to fall off. Every time I slowed down, I reminded myself that it was for Alex. That kept me on high energy for a couple miles.

He wasn't anywhere to be found, but I was determined to talk to him. I stumbled across the sidewalk, eventually falling. I wiped the blood from my scabbed knees and let the tears flow.

I was going to wait until I stopped crying before I headed back, but that could be hours. I was just about to stand up when Zack came running towards me.

"Lexi, what the hell were you thinking? You can't just run off like that!" he yelled, offering my a hand. I took it and pulled myself up from the sidewalk, looking down.

"I'm sorry," I mumbled, following him back to where everybody was.

"Why did you leave anyway?" he asked.

"I was trying to find Alex. I messed up again," I sighed.

"What do you mean you messed up again?" he asked.

"I kissed Kevin Bard," I said in a small voice.

He didn't say anything. His facial expression didn't even change. He just stared ahead, probably thinking.

And I was preparing for the worst. Who knows what anyone would think?

"He'll be fine," Zack finally said.

"What?" I asked, kind of confused.

"Alex. He's used to this, so you really don't need to worry about not finding him. This happens all the time," he explained.

"This has happened before?" I asked.

"Tons of times. Girls only want to go out with him for the fame and the money. He falls for it too much and takes it pretty hard," he said.

"But I'm not dating him for the fame. I love him," I whispered, more tears on their way.

"I know you're not, Lexi, we all know that. You're like my sister, you're not like those girls Alex dated. I know you didn't mean to hurt him," he reassured me.

"Thanks," I whispered, hugging him from the side.

"Hey, you know I'm always here for you," he told me.

"I know," I smiled. At least I had someone while I went through all of this. And Zack was probably right. Alex would be okay.

I took that thought and I held on to it for the rest of the night.

~!~

I woke up to the sound of arguing. I rolled over, not wanting to wake up just yet. It was hard to fall back asleep. I was so used to snuggling up against Alex, and I felt empty without him.

The yelling also made it impossible to drift off to sleep. Through all the loud and angry voices, I somehow heard Alex's. I wasn't sure if I was just imagining things, but it sounded very real to me.
I opened my eyes and searched the room for Alex's familiar face. There he was, sitting on the couch with the rest of the band. He looked stressed out, and I would imagine he was. Everybody in the room was yelling at him.

There were too many voices to hear exactly what they were yelling about, but I definitely heard my name mentioned more than once.

"What she did to me really hurt me! And I still love her, but I can't trust her anymore!" he yelled, finally. The room went silent.

"I love you, too, Alex," I whispered. It must have been louder than I thought because all heads turned in my direction.

Alex quickly looked away, and I sat up slowly. Everyone was staring at me, making it kind of awkward. No one seemed to notice but me, so I just got out of bed and sat down on an empty spot on the couch.

"I know you probably hate me right now, but I'm sorry. I know you're probably never going to go out with me again, but I love you and I always will," I said quietly, looking at Alex.

"That's not true, I don't hate you. About the dating thing, I'm not sure it's ever going to be the same between us," he replied, still not looking at me.

"I know it's not, but why can't we try?" I begged.

"You lied to me. And maybe it's not a big deal to you, but it is to me," he yelled, not bothering to hide the pain in his voice.

I didn't even know what to say. He was right. I didn't even realize what I had done. I nodded my head, even though he wouldn't notice. He was looking out the window.
I sighed and ran off the bus. I think they knew that I wanted to be alone, because no one followed me.

I ended up sitting out there all day. When it started to get dark out, Alex walked outside.

"We need to talk," he whispered.

"About what?" I asked.

"About us," he answered, looking up at the stars.
