AN: This chapter is going to have a song cause I just think the song goes perfect with this story. Also this one will let you know the feelings of Alan and Nicole. The song is "I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace
Chapter 5 [Every time we lie awake after every hit we take; every feeling that I get but I haven't missed you yet]
Nicole drove to a place where Alan and her would go to be alone. She got out the car and sat on the hood of the car. She had six-pack of beers by her side and a carton of cigarettes. She took out a cigarette from the carton and got her lighter. She slid the cigarette between her lips and covered it while she lit it. She inhaled it and let it out. She opened one of the cans of beer and took a sip of it. She felt the liquid go down her throat. She put the cigarette between her lips and looked out. It was mostly trees that surrounded her but she could see the sunset. Orange and red was all she could see. She remembered what Alan said that every time she looked at the sunset that he would be looking at it too and that was how they would keep in contact with each other when they were a part. "Bullshit," she said to herself. She took another sip of the beer.

Alan walked into the apartment to find his mother passed out on the couch. He grabbed a blanket to cover her. She slightly moved when she felt the warmth of the blanket. He went to the kitchen and made himself something to eat. "Ham and bread. Wonderful," he took out the package of ham. "Expired even better," he threw the ham in the garbage and looked in the cabinets for something to eat. He felt his stomach growl. "Nothing," he grabbed his mother's purse and took the only money she had in there. "10 dollars that's good enough," he left to the local 7/11. He walked in and grabbed a bag of chips and knew that the cashier was watching him. "You sure make it obvious," he said under his breath. He went to get something to drink and say the beer. He remembered when Nicole would get the beer for him. He shook his head and grabbed a coke. He then grabbed those already-made sandwiches. He dropped the stuff on the counter. The cashier rang it up. "5.50" the young man said. Alan gave him the 10. The young man gave Alan incorrect change. "Um sir. You owe me 4.50" The young man smiled. "I'm sorry it's late and all," the young man gave Alan the dollar. "No problem...José," he read the name off the tag. "What's your name?" José asked. Alan sighed. "Alan," "Nice to meet you Alan. You know I could get a pizza want to join? I mean it is better than eating that shit," José kind of laughed. Alan grinned. "Hell yeah," José nodded and went to the back.
[Only when I stop to think about it...I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU. WHY DO I LOVE YOU? x2]
Nicole was on third cigarette when she heard footsteps come closer to her. She didn't turn her head as that made it too obvious. She kept her focus on the beer can. Finally the footsteps came to a halt. "Hey," the figure spoke. "Hi," Nicole said taking a puff from her cigarette. "You got a light?" Nicole finally turned and handed him the lighter. She examined the figure. The figure was a guy about her age with red curly hair. "Thanks," he handed the lighter. "You're Ricky right?" she asked. She remembered him from school. He nodded and took a couple of steps closer to the car. "You aren't crazy are you?" Ricky let out of laugh after he inhaled the smoke. "No I'm not. It's just an act. I'm the type of person, who craves attention," Ricky looked at her. She smiled. "So you are crazy," Nicole took another sip of her beer. "Why do you say that?" "You crave attention. Most people want to be left alone," "Well I'm not most people," Ricky raised his eyebrow as he took another puff.
[Every time we lie awake after ever hit we take; every feeling that I get but I haven't missed you yet]
José took another slice of pizza, "So basically this Nicole girl is suppose to be your girlfriend, but she wasn't there for you?" "Yeah exactly," Alan looked out the window. "I mean I do care about her, but she pisses me off sometimes," "Well she sounds like a bitch," José took a drink of his coke. Alan wasn't quick to react because it sounded true. He felt he needed to be alone all of a sudden. "I better get going," he stood up. "Thanks for the food man," "No poblem," José nodded. Alan grabbed his bag that contained the food he bought and headed out. It was already dark so he could barely make out the path to his apartment. He kept thinking about Nicole. She was right about one thing. He really didn't do anything for her. Then he just snapped back to reality. He did do some things. He did love her. That counted didn't it? Alan looked at the cars go by. He wondered where Nicole was. Was she alright? Was she hurt? What was she doing?
[Only when I stop to think about it...I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU. WHY DO I LOVE YOU? x2]
"So you like fire?" Nicole looked at Ricky. She had allowed him to sit next to her. "Yeah I guess you could say that," he smiled and threw the empty can on the ground. Nicole smiled and shook her head. "What?" Ricky looked at her and smiled. "Nothing," she sighed and looked down. "You don't like fire?" She started to laugh. "You're a dumbass you know that?" "It's one of my best qualities," Ricky threw up his arms as if he was guilty. Nicole nodded. "I'm just messed up," Ricky put down his arms. "What do you mean by that?" "Nothing. Just my boyfriend. He's...I don't want to talk about it," Nicole looked at him. Ricky nodded and looked at the moon. Nicole looked down at the ground. Ricky slowly started to move his hand to touch Nicole's. Nicole noticed but she didn't move it. She leaned in and kissed him lightly. He kissed her back.
[Only when I stop to think about you, I know only when you stop to think about me, do you know...]
Alan walked into the apartment. His mother was still asleep. He just had to know if Nicole was okay. He kept thinking about her. He grabbed the keys to the Jeep and headed out again. He got into the Jeep and sat there for awhile. The moment when he pushed Nicole kept replaying in his head. His mentality was that she deserved it and it was an accident. He shrugged it off and headed to her place.
[I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU. WHY DO I LOVE YOU?]
Nicole pulled back. "I have to go," she jumped off the car. "Wait Nicole," Ricky jumped off too. "Can I see you again?" "I don't know. I have to go," she got into her car and began driving back to her house. What the hell did she just do? What about Alan? But there was something about Ricky that she was attracted to. NO WAY! She couldn't be falling for him, but she liked the kiss. SHIT!
[YOU HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT ME. WHY DO YOU LOVE ME?]
Alan parked outside the house. He was debating whether to go knock or not?
[I HATE, YOU HATE]
Nicole pulled into her driveway not noticing Alan's Jeep. She just wanted to go inside. She got out quickly.
[I HATE, YOU LOVE ME]
Alan saw her and placed his hand on the handle, but he didn't move. He watched as Nicole went inside. He had no idea that he wasn't the one of her mind.
