"Oh, Alex...umm no I didn't say anything I..I was just admiring your things" Tess moved her self quickly back over to the bed not wanting Alex to get suscipous about anything. "Oh...yea I have tons of junk, never much to really admire" Alex said with a chuckle as he handed Tess her glass and sat next to her. 'Alex didn't even pay attention' Tess thought to her self. Taking a few sips of her coke, Tess looks up and catchs Alex's gaze. "Your beautiful" Alex says as he pushes back a strand of hair that fell over her face. Blushing Tess grabs his hand and intwines it with hers. They sit there holding hands and drinking their cokes in silence. Alex looks around to his alarm clock and realizes its 4am. "Tess, umm..its really late may..maybe you should head home before you dad starts to worry." Releasing his hand he walks her to the door so she wouldn't have to climb back out the window. Tess turns around and places a small gentle kiss on Alex's lips and simply says "Thank you"
Its been two hours since Tess was at his house. Alex was glad it was the weekend or he would haven't gone to school. With his hands behind his head and lying on his back, he stares at the ceiling. "Why am I attracted to this girl" He takes a few deep breaths. "I'm supposed to love Isabel, but how can I love someone who..who don't love me the same?" He questions himself over and over, he can't find a answer to why Tess has been able to get his full focus. Ponding himself with questions he starts to wonder what Tess is doing at that very moment.
Across town Tess is lying on her bed with her soft teddy bear. "I can't love Alex..I..I have to love Max, but...but I don't want to." A small tear fell from her eye. She lies there remembering everything Nasedo has taught and told her, she has to love Max, get pregnant and go home with the three of them. Tess throws her bear in frustration. "I can't do it, I..I just can't" Wiping tears from her eyes, Tess drifts off to sleep.
Sunday Evening - Crashdown
"Hey Alex...haven't seen you in a couple of days" Isabel waves Alex over to her booth. "Oh...Hey Is..Isabel." Alex sits down not wanting to make eye contact, he still isn't sure if the aliens can read your mind he hasn't been apart of the group long enough to know. Just then Tess walks in, she notices Isabel and Alex. Avoiding eye contact with Alex she talks to Isabel. "Hey I can't stay tonight my dad wants me to watch this stupid thing on TV with him.." Tess manages to chuckle a bit. "Yea, thats ok, we can hang out tomorrow after school." "So you guys were hanging out tonight?" Alex chokes out trying to direct the question to Isabel, but he couldn't take his eyes off Tess. "Were, thats the key word Alex.' Isabel laughs and Tess laughs fakely and turns her gaze back to Isabel ' I've got to go so I'll see you guys later" Tess waves bye and walks out of the Crashdown without even looking at him. "Hey Iz..sorry but I should get home, nothing much is going on around here so I'll just talk to you later" Alex runs out before Isabel could say goodbye.
Its two hours before mid-night. Alex sits by his window hoping Tess would stop by like she did two nights before. On the other side of town in front of the Crashdown, Tess is stranded with a piece of shit car. She sees Max, she'll ask him for help. He doesn't believe her car broke down. She can't help herself after spatting with him, then she just kisses him.
Next Day After School
"Hey...Alex, did you hear" Maria pulls down the newspaper infront of him. "Hear what Maria, somebody do it again it the eraser room?" He said smugly. "No you moron, Max kissed Tess!" A gut pincing feeling aroused in Alex, but he tried to keep cool. "Look Maria, love to sit and chat I have to go." Alex slams his bedroom door and flops down on the bed. Covering his eyes, but that doesn't stop the tears from flowing down. "I can't believe she kissed him" A knock at his window. 'Great!' he muttered to his self. He opens it up. "Alex, look I know you must have hea..." "I don't care Tess, save it, its not worth it" he slams the window shut and lays back on the bed. Tess starts to cry as she runs back home, 'You sure screwed this up now didn't you, you stupid bitch' she muttered to herself as she blew up a street light. 'He can go to hell for all I care'
