"Break up with Nate, or else." I spoke in a deep voice into the phone, then instantly hung up. I waited for Nate to break up with that little boyfriend-stealing bitch for an entire month! What happened? Nothing, Nate and…Alex-I shudder at the name-are 'going strong'. It makes me want to puke all over her ugly Converse. I mean, who the hell wears those shoes? Nate is the only that looks good in them. Anyway, it's time I step in and make them break up. Forever.

Nate's POV

We sat there staring at the phone for a good 15 minutes.

"Nate?" Alex mumbled.

"Yeah?"

"What does," She swallowed hard, "'Or else' mean?" I sighed.

"I have no idea. But whoever that was, they can't do anything to you! They won't do anything to you! They're bluffing!" I yelled. "I…I can't be the reason you get hurt. Alex, I can't be the reason that someone hurts you."

"Nate, you will never be the reason I get hurt. And for right now, I'm not going to do anything about this." She dropped her phone and put her hands up.

"Alex, you can't just give up that easily. Someone just threatened you, and you just let it go?" I asked disbelievingly.

"I don't exactly call 'or else' a threat, Nate. It would be a threat if they said, 'Break up with Nate, or…I will put snakes in your locker." I laughed but then went back to being serious.

"Are you sure you're okay with this?" I asked, still a little worried.

"I'm positive. Now, I have to call my parents." She picked up her phone and pressed some buttons. I have an unbelievable girlfriend. If this was any of my other ex's like Miley or Danielle, they would be plotting the other person's death by now. But Alex, she's just so…stubborn. And that's a really good thing in my eyes. She's got a good head on good shoulders.

"Hey momma." She said into the phone, obviously talking to Theresa. "I miss you too, and yeah I'm having a good time." She stopped and listened to her mom for about a minute. "Okay, that sounds good. Yup. He's right here, want to talk to him?" She took the phone from her ear and pressed speaker.

"Hi, Mrs. Russo." I said a little loud for her to hear me.

"Hi Nate, how are you? Are you taking care of Alex?" I laughed.

"I'm fine, and yes I'm making sure nothing happens to her."I narrowed my eyes at her and she just rolled hers.

"That's good. How are your parents and your brothers?" Alex coughed and I pushed her.

"Mom and Dad are fine, and happy to have Alex over. Jason actually has a girlfriend now that he's pretty serious about." I left out Shane and wondered if she noticed.

"Well that's-tell Alex-love her-kay?" Stupid hospital reception.

"Okay, bye Mrs. Russo!"

"Bye momma, I love you too!" With that I pressed end.

"So, what did you guys talk about?" I wiggled my eyebrows and she laughed.

"I'll tell you later." She got up and started putting her clothes away.

"Fiiiine." I laughed and she threw the pants that were in her hand at me. "Yes, I would love to take your pants off again, Alex." She spun around with a red face and I smirked.

"Maybe later." Her hand patted me on the head, then she walked out the door. Leaving all of her clothes still on the bed, and now on the floor. I laughed and put the rest of her clothes away for her.

Alex's POV

What bitch has the right to tell me to break up with my boyfriend?! And I could so tell it was a girl, I mean only girls make really retarded guy voices like that. Ugh, my life is so complicated. Ever since I started dating Nate…No, that's stupid! I thought. It was just a coincidence. Everybody faces some big problems in their life, and I just happen to be facing a couple right now. Don't freak out Alex. Just stay calm.

I went to 'Received Calls' on my phone and the number said 'Restricted'. Wow, she was smart enough to do *67. There's a shocker. Pressing end, I saw the time was already 8:00 P.M. Might as well get to bed early, especially since I did just pass out a few hours ago. Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around me and I started twirling in the air.

"Agh! Nate, stop it!" I squealed. By now I was laughing and heard him laughing behind me. He put me down and started kissing my neck. "Mmm Nate, not now. I'm tired." I mumbled. But he continued to make me practically melt in his arms.

"C'mon Alex. The last time we had a real make out session was yesterday." He complained. I laughed but I spun around to see a serious look on his face. "Pleeeeease?" He pouted, his big chocolate-brown eyes replicating a puppy's…

I don't remember how we got there, but we ended up on his bed, him on top of course. The farthest we went was going shirtless. Don't worry, I kept my bra on. "Oh Alex, sometimes I honestly wish I didn't put this ring on my finger." He said after he lied down next to me. I'll be honest-I've thought about that too. But I also know that once I get married, it will make it all the more special when I do actually…do it. I sighed.

"You never now Nate, it might be worth the wait." I suggested. He propped up his head with his elbow and faced me. I ran my hand down his arm.

"If it's with you, then it most definitely will be." He leaned down and our lips met in a sweet kiss. After he pulled away I said,

"Let's not talk about marriage right now. I don't know why, but it always sort of scared me to think about my future as an adult. I mean, we are only 15." That wasn't the first time I told Nate how I felt about 'future talk'. When we were 13…

-Flashback-

Alex Russo walked up to her best friend Nate and saw him looking at a list posted outside the main office. "Hey Nate, watcha looking at?" She asked her then-straight-haired friend.

"This thing that tells you what job you're going to get when you get older." He replied, turning around to look at a very familiar face.

"Ugh, I hate when people predict your future for you." They started walking to the staircase. "Why can't we just wait and see what we end up doing? I honestly hate thinking about the future." She shuddered. They grabbed opposite sides of the railing and began climbing the stairs.

"Wow, that's pretty cool Lex. Most people are already like, saving for college. That includes me…well, my parents technically." He shrugged.

"Huh, not me." They reached the second level of their middle school. "See ya later."

"See ya." They high-fived then walked to their separate homerooms.

-End Flashback-

"Hey," Nate snapped me out of my little trance. "Sorry, but it was just a little compliment." He smirked.

"So you're saying I'm going to be good in bed?" I smiled mischievously.

"Baby, probably." He admitted. Giggles left my mouth at his attempt to sound seductive. I started getting off the bed but he gently grabbed my wrist and pulled me back down. Turning around I gave him a confused look.

"Nate, what are you doing?" I questioned. He had a worried look on his face.

"Alex, I know I sound paranoid, but-" He sighed. "I still don't trust Shane. Just because I gave him a piece of my mind, or more like fist, doesn't mean he won't try something again." Now I sighed. "You know him just as well as I do. He's nice sometimes, but he's also selfish." As much as I hated to admit it, Nate was right.

"Well, you're right. But won't your parents get a little mad when they see us sleeping in the same bed? It was different when we were little, you know." I smiled and he grinned.

"We'll just leave the door closed and hope they don't open it. If we locked it, well then they would have a reason for being mad." We laughed and I got under the covers. He copied my actions and wrapped his arms around me. I turned my head and kissed his cheek.

"Goodnight, Natey." I smiled and he kissed my forehead.

"Night Alex." He nuzzled his face into my hair, and the last thing I thought about before I drifted into a calm sleep, was thinking we were just like a cute married couple.

Nate's POV

Waking up to the smell of strawberry citrus shampoo is definitely the way I always want to wake up. I never noticed how good my shampoo smelled until now. Opening my eyes, I saw Alex still asleep with her head on my chest, her body to my right, and one leg thrown over my body. I silently laughed and started remembering the dreams I had last night.

Alex laughed as we walked down the sidewalk on a sunny day, our hands clasped together with our fingers intertwined. Her hair was blowing in the warm wind, and her eyes were sparkling like melted chocolate. "C'mon Nate!" She exclaimed happily as we ran towards an unknown destination. Suddenly we were at a big park, and in front of us was a fountain. I looked at Alex and she smiled up at me, her eyes mischievous. I knew what she was going to do. She pushed me and I went head first into the fountain, but my head didn't hit anything. Instead I went about 7 feet underwater and swam back up to the surface.

Then I woke up after that because Alex had slightly kicked me in her sleep. I chuckled at the 3 AM memory. After I had gone back to sleep I had another dream…

I'm standing in front of the cafeteria, and it's empty except for one person. I walked up to them but suddenly someone started calling my name from behind me. "Nate! Nate!" They said, trying to get me to turn around, but I kept walking to the person, who now looked like Alex. As I get closer I see they're crying, and it's not Alex. It's Mitchie. I reach out to her, but then a hand spins me around and Shane is looking at me. His eyes almost burn me, the way he's staring. I turn back around and now Alex is sitting on the table, trying to get Mitchie to stop crying, but Mitchie just pushes her away. Now I'm really confused, but the bell rings and suddenly I'm dragged out of the cafeteria by the random students flooding through the cafeteria and hall ways. I screamed out for Alex, but instead I see her and Shane walking up the stairs, holding hands.

My heart beats wretchedly, but I keep telling myself it was just a dream. I guess my heart woke Alex up, because she opened her eyes and looked up at me. Suddenly my out-of-control organ calmed down, knowing Alex was right here and she wasn't going anywhere. I smiled.

"Good morning. How long have you been up?" She said after kissing my cheek.

"Uhm, a couple minutes." I answered. She rested her head back on my chest and starting drawing on my stomach with her fingers. "S-stop, that ti-tickles!" I laughed out. She giggled and sat up. BANG BANG BANG! Someone knocked on my door and Alex hopped up. "Bathroom!" I whispered. She nodded and slid across the floor into the bathroom. "C-come in!" I called.

"Hi sweetie. Did I wake you?" Mom walked a few feet into the room. I shook my head.

"Nope, I was just saying good morning to Alex…" Crap I'm an idiot! She gave me a puzzled look. "She came in and wanted to brush her teeth." I lied.

"Oh, ok. I'm going to make pancakes." My face lit up. "Yes, the blueberry kind." I laughed and she left the room. I got up and quickly made my bed. Realizing I was still shirtless from last night, I grabbed a t-shirt from my drawer and threw it on.

"You so got your lying skills from me." Alex commented, standing in the doorway of the bathroom. I smirked.

"Or from Shane." I mumbled. Wow, why was I even mentioning that traitor?

"C'mon, I'm hungry again." We laughed as we went downstairs to eat breakfast.

Boring. That is how I would describe Sunday morning. Between doing homework and avoiding Shane, Alex and I were bored out of our minds. So at lunch time we went down to the deli and got some cold cuts on rolls. We walked around eating those for a while, went to a park, talked and sat on the swings, raced home, and had a texting contest. Phew, we know how to keep ourselves occupied. Dinner went the same as the night before, and once again Jason wasn't there because he had to go back to campus. I'll never understand college schedules. But he'd be back in a month, so Alex wasn't too upset when he left.

Alex spent the night taking all of her clothes out of the drawers that my mother had forced her to fill. I for one didn't fell like joining her, so I decided to write a song. Yeah, it's not coming too well.

"Yes, I finally finished!" Alex declared, walking into my room. I put my guitar down and smiled at her. She looked over at the clock and frowned.

"What's wrong, baby?" I asked concerned. She sighed.

"Tomorrow. I'm scared. Shane, Mitchie, creepy threat girl." She bit her nail.

"Hey, you said so yourself there's nothing to worry about." I said softly.

"I guess you're right. Goodnight Nate." She kissed my lips then grabbed my hand. "And thanks." I smiled at her.

"No problem."

Threat Girl's POV

"Are you sure it's gonna work?" Miley asked me over the phone. I sighed. She is so stupid sometimes.

"Yes, I'm sure. Now go pick out an outfit with the details I told you." I ordered her.

"Okay fine. I'll go through with this 'Gang up on Alex' plan." She agreed. I smiled.

"That's what I want to hear. Bye Miles."

"Bye Danielle."

Did anyone guess it?! No?! Ugh, I guess I didn't give a good hint. Darn. Hehe. What exactly IS Danielle's plan? Btw, Danielle is Nate's Ex. Remember?

Review please!!! :)
