Disclaimer: sadly, only this plot is mine and two characters. But if you didn't know that by know, your either stupid or haven't been reading these boring disclaimers people seem to put in their stories.

A/N: to answer a question in the reviews, let's just say Rick, Evie and John didn't wonder about Alex and Emily doing anything while they were alone because they knew that they are responsible and not like that (until later hehe! More on that to come)







Emily sat in the woods for a few more minutes and cried. She couldn't believe Alex had called off the wedding. She also couldn't believe that Ron had kissed her. It wasn't even a good kiss. That was a terrible thing for him to do and he even knew she was engaged.

"Well not anymore," Emily thought. She then remembered that Alex had knocked Ron out. She didn't remember where they were at though (crying did that to her), but she figured he could find his way back, and if he didn't, well he deserved it.

Emily got up and walked back home. She went inside where her dad greeted her. John could tell that something was wrong with his daughter, so he asked her what. It surprised him when she burst out crying.

"Emily, dear, what's wrong?"

"Oh, dad, Alex…Alex called…off the wedding!" she said while crying.

John felt ready to kill Rick's son. "Why did he do that?" He asked angrily.

"Oh, dad, don't be mad at Alex. He did what anybody would do under the circumstances," she explained.

"And what were the circumstances?"

"Well, Ron took me out on a picnic…"

"Yes, but that's no reason to stop a wedding!" John interrupted.

"…And then he kissed me…"

"RON? He kissed you?? He knew you were engaged??" John cried out.

"…And Alex saw and called off the wedding."

"You tried to explain didn't you? You didn't let him think you wanted Ron to kiss you?"

"Dad, I tried to explain, but he wouldn't listen. He got really mad and left. He said he never wanted to see me again." She started to cry again and John hugged her. He now had a sudden urge to kill Ron for ruining his daughter's life.



Meanwhile, Alex was walking to his house. When he got there, he slammed the door shut, accidentally on his finger. Evie came into the room as Alex stood there cursing.

"Alex, watch your language," she said. Evie had been telling her son this since he was eight years old. It hadn't stopped him from cursing, just like his father. Evie only said it out of habit.

"Mum, just don't even start," he said.

"Excuse me? What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing except for the fact that your only son isn't getting married anymore."

"What? What do you mean by not getting married? Alex what happened?" Evie asked, starting to get worried.

"Well, I walked in the woods curious to know what Emily and Ron were doing on their little outing. Well, when I came across them, they were kissing."

"Kissing? Like, how exactly, a little peck on the cheek?"

"No, mum, like kissing, like what you and dad do and what me and Em used to do."

"Oh, honey," said Evie hugging Alex.

"I'm ok mum. I told her it was over."

"Alex, I'm sure she didn't mean to kiss him…"

"I can't believe that mum. She said he came onto her, and that she still loved me, but what am I supposed to do? Still marry her, and later find out she's cheating on me?" Alex started to cry a little.

"Oh, Alex, it's ok. I'm sure you did what you thought best. You are a grown man and I can't tell you what to do. But, Emily was such a nice girl."

"Mum, it's ok, I know you liked her, so did I. I just need to be alone." So Alex went up to his room.





TWO AND ½ YEARS LATER:

Alex was walking down the street. He had nothing to do. His mum had sent him shopping for some food, but he was done with that already. Ever since he broke up with Emily 2 ½ years ago, he'd had a lot of free time.

"Great, why did I have to think of her?" He mentally slapped himself. At least Emily had listened when he said he never wanted to see her again.

Alex had gotten on with his life a little. He had gone out with a few girls, but none of them had been the same. There was no other way to face it, Emily had been his one and only. She had made him feel something no other girl could make him feel. She had loved him.

His friends tried to make him feel better and took him out a lot. But none of them had known Emily and couldn't even guess what he wanted in a girl. In fact, his best friend was taking him out tonight to meet a girl he had said was "perfect for him". Alex highly doubted it.

He looked at the time and decided to go home and get ready. This girl might not be right for him but he had figured "why not? It's something to do."

It didn't take him long to get ready, so he headed for the bar where he was going to meet his friend Todd. Of course Todd would make him meet a girl in a bar, he was known for being like that.

Alex walked in the door and immediately located Todd. He was always easy to find.

"Hey Alex," Todd said when he saw him.

"So where's this girl?" asked Alex.

"Oh, she uh went to the ladies room. Can I buy you a drink?"

"No, that's alright."

"Oh come on Alex, live a little bit!"

"Fine, fine." So Todd bought him a drink. A few seconds later he said, "Oh, there's the girl I want you to meet." And pointed over Alex's shoulder. Alex turned around and saw a girl who looked semi-familiar. She was very beautiful. Then again…Alex suddenly remembered who she was.



A/N: Hey, what a cliffhanger, huh? So, who's the girl? Can we guess?
