~A/N~ OK, I know it has been a terribly long time since I updated this
story. First of all, I had really bad writers block on this story. I just
didn't know where to go so I started a new story. (Lol, don't you love the
way I solve my problems? By the way- the story is called The End of Forever-
read it if you want! Hehe.) Anyway, writing this story got me back into
the writing groove and I got back on Mistakes to try and get a new chapter
done. So here it is- I know, it isn't the best and it is kind of short but
just bear with me here, I'm trying.
I have also had this weird virus in my computer for awhile so I haven't been able to write because of that. So I have excuses and all but the chapter is FINALLY here! So enjoy and PUH LEASE review! I really REALLY need reviews in order to write good stuff. Your support is greatly appreciated.

"Dude, will you please stop doing that?" Kyle asked in between bites of his oversized burger.
"Doing what?" Alex asked impatiently looking around the café.
"That stupid foot tapping thing. What's wrong with you anyway? You're way too jumpy. You know you should really try meditating with me every once and while. I mean, I know most people think it is totally weird but it is actually relaxing." Kyle said taking another bite of his burger.
Alex shook his head, "no thanks Kyle," he said knowing he couldn't relax even if he wanted to. All he needed to do what see Liz and sort this out- just figure out what on earth happened and what they were going to do from now on.
Alex heard the door from the back room open and anxiously glanced up hoping it was Liz who stepped through the double doors. He let out a sigh of distress as he watched Mr. Parker walk through.
He jumped up and headed over toward where he was wiping down the counters.
"Hey Mr. Parker, what's going on?" Alex asked trying to act casual and cover his nervousness.
"Why hello Alex, how have you been lately?" Jeff Parker asked with a warm smile glancing up at him.
Alex tried to smile back as he answered, "I've been pretty good. So is Liz working today?" He asked trying not to sound too eager.
"Well she was but she asked me earlier if she could skip out today. Seems she has a bit of a stomach ache or something of that sort," Mr. Parker said as he finished wiping the counter.
'Yeah I'll bet she has a stomach ache. If she feels anything like I do then she was smart to skip out of work,' Alex said silently to himself before smiling again at Mr. Parker. "Well, thank you Mr. Parker for telling me."
"You know Alex," Jeff said catching his eye, "she's upstairs in her room. You seem like you really need to talk to her."
Alex looked up at him shocked that he could read his feelings that Alex had though he had been hiding so well. "Well thank you. I think I'll go do that right now."
Alex took the short cut through the back of the restaurant and bounded up the stairs to the apartment two steps at a time. He quickly made his way down the hall of the Parker's small home and stopped in front of Liz's closed door.
He looked at it reluctantly and wondered briefly what the future held for Liz Parker and Alex Whitman. He couldn't say he had never had feelings for Liz. Freshman year of high school before his intense crush on Isabel Evans had begun he had been completely smitten over Liz following her and Maria around like a lost puppy. That was when their friendship had begun and as it grew Alex had begun to see that it could never be more than that. Friendship was all it seemed they could accomplish.
Now things seemed so different. He knew what had happened the night before was the result of drunken depression on both of their parts but he couldn't help but hold the hope that what had happened could quite possibly blossom into something more.
Quickly before he could change his mind he raised his hand and knocked swiftly on the door.
"Come in," he heard her voice from the inside of the door and slowly turned the knob and pushed the door open.
He saw her sitting on her bed leafing through old yearbooks and when she saw him she closed the books guiltily and sat them down next to the bed still staring at him wordlessly.
"Liz, I think we need to talk," Alex said breaking the silence as he still stood awkwardly in the doorway.
Liz nodded slowly and glanced down at her hands, "I definitely agree." She looked up and motioned for him to sit in the chair next to her bed. He sat down and looked into her eyes. The circles under her eyes stood out on her face and he knew she had been as restless as he had.
"Liz, I need to know what happened last night. I- I remember bits and pieces. I have large blanks though," Alex said and she again nodded.
"Well, you have more than me. I don't remember barely anything Alex. The last thing I remember was seeing-" she stopped suddenly and looked quickly up at Alex her eyes wide with apology.
"Seeing Max. That's all it was wasn't it Liz? Just you getting over Max," Alex said sadly as he slowly came to the realization that what Liz had done last night had been for only one reason and it wasn't because she had feelings for him. He quickly stood up and began to head for the door. "I better go," he said trying to hide his disappointment.
"Wait, Alex!" She said quickly and Alex turned to look at her. "I never said it was only about Max! I don't really know what last night is and I need to think things over for a few days. Can't you just give me time? This is weird, you know? I don't know how to manage all the things that have been racing through my brain today. I just need time to sort it all out. Please give me that," she looked at him, her eyes pleading with him and begging him to understand.
"Of course. Time," he repeated nodding to let her know that he understood before turning and walking out the door.
