Hey guys. Trisha here. I know it hasn't been long, but here's the next chapter

Wow…I couldn't believe my eyes Jay thought. I, Jay Hogart, has never noticed this Alex girl, and yet, she seemed to rock. I think I like her, with her black hair, and attitude

Jay was thinking ahead, but Alex seemed to be concentrating on the project, or so he thought

Damn it Alex thought. She coulden't seem to get the hang of the project. When she reached out to get her pen, she bumped into Jay's leg

"Sorry" she said, without blushing. But she knew she was falling for him

"It's Ok Lexy. Mind if I call you that" he said

"I don't mind" she said. Jay seemed to be interested in her then the project

"Ok…" Jay said. He seemed to feel awkward too

"Do you wanna go out sometime, like, just to hang out" Alex asked before she could stop herself

Jay smiled "Sure. As for this project…It's not going to get finished soon" Jay said

Alex had to tell Jay her address, as much as she didn't want to, and her pride hurt. She was in her room, when her father came in, drunk as ever, and whacked Alex in the arm

"That's for not being home yesterday after school. Are you going out" He said

"Yeah, and I don't care what you say" Alex said. She dodged another hit, grabbed her jacket, and walked out

"Mom" she said. She walked into the kitchen to see her mother crying

"He's out of control…again" she said. She put her head on Alex, and she cried some more

"I'm going on a date…" Alex said. Her mother just sighed

"Leave before he notices" she said

Alex sat on the step of her apartment, looking out for a sign of Jay. A car pulled up in front of the building, and the window rolled down

"Hey Lexy" Jay said. Alex came up to the car, and opened the door, and sat in the front seat

"Hey" Alex said. Unlike Dar, who would of probally done something, Jay just looked at her and said "Where would you like to go"

"Anywhere but here" she said. Her arm still hurt from the blow she took to it

"How does the movie's sound" Jay said

"Very…Original" Alex said

"Where would you like to go Lexy" he said

"I told you, anywhere but here" she said

"Alright…How bout we go, and have dinner. Then we take it from there"

"Alright" Alex said

"So…my life isen't that perfect" Jay said. They were sitting down to some dinner, at a burger place. Alex didn't mind, as long as she was away from home. Alex felt pain in her arm still, and touched it. Jay noticed

"What's wrong with your arm Lexy" Jay said

"Nothing, why" she said. Jay touched it, and Alex tried not to look like she was in pain.

Alex never told anyone, but her whole body was covered in bruises. She tried not to look like she hurt, but she did. It may be the reason why she's always been a bad girl

"Would you like to go somewhere else" Jay said

"Ok" Alex said

They went to a park. Jay and Alex sat on a picnic table somewhere in the park. Alex was a bit scared, but she seemed to trust Jay

Jay lit a cigarette "You know, you can speak and tell me stuff, you know" Jay said

"I don't know…My life isen't the greatest, so what is there to tell" she said

"I think you have stuff to tell" Jay said. He put his arm around her, and Alex put her head on his shoulder, and Jay played with her hair a bit

"I have to be back soon…I can't really tell you why, but I can't really leave my mother alone" Alex said

"Oh…" Jay said. He put out the cigarette, and they started to his car

They finally pull up at Alex's apartment building. Alex was starting to fall asleep, but she woke up when they got to her house

"Bye" she said to Jay. She kissed him, and he kissed back. After a few minutes, Alex got up and left
