(Jay's point of view)

I woke up the next morning sitting in my car, in front of my house. I don't even remember how I got there…I drove? I must have been drunk as hell. Some of last nights events are coming back to me…I remember coming to the school to think then going to the ravine. But I know there was something else…Alex! She was at the school when I came here. Chad had slapped her…how could I forget? I have to talk to her. But where could she be? Maybe I should go change first.

Walking into the house the smell of alcohol and rotting food was nothing new. Neither was the sight of my mother passed out on the couch still holding her beer bottle. I doubt she even noticed me out front and if she did she was too drunk to even care. I hate living here. I hate everything about it, from the smell to the furniture (which was basically a couch from the 70's and a chair that looked like it had been through hell). I go up to my room and pick up whatever looks clean off the floor and put it on.

Ten minutes later I found myself walking out the door, after taking a couple Advil to ease my headache of course. I didn't bother to take my car I needed to get some fresh air anyway. I thought that I would stop by Ellie's to see if maybe Alex was there. After I knocked on the door a very tired looking Ellie answered the door. "Hey Ellie" was all I said before I noticed her eyes get wide when she saw it was me. "I was wondering if you had seen Alex"

"Why do you want to know?" why was everyone giving me a hard time whenever I asked about her? Couldn't they see that I had made a mistake and was trying to make up for it? It was then that I heard someone scream something to Ellie about food burning. Who could that be?

"Ellie who's in there?" I asked, was Alex here? It would make sense for her to come here now that I think about it. Then Alex actually came to the door to see whom Ellie was talking too…

"Ellie who's at the…" She trailed off and then whispered, "door". She took one look at me and went back inside. It killed me to know that she couldn't even really stand to be around me.

"I'm sorry Jay" was all that Ellie said before she closed the door. I left…defeated…

(Alex's Point Of View)

Why was he here? Why is it that whenever I start to feel happier he comes back around and everything that I don't want to think about comes back. Forget about him…I can do better…right? Ellie walks in apologizing about Jay coming. But I know it's not her fault and I make sure I tell her that.

"Now what are we trying to make here?" I look at the stuff she has piled on the table. I wasn't use to this; usually I just had something simple to eat like an apple or a bowl of cereal. "You do realize how dangerous it is to have me trying to cook right?" she just laughed and nodded. "Just a fair warning I'd find your fire extinguisher before we start.

"Maybe I should get that" I saw her run quickly out of the kitchen and into the living room where she got the extinguisher from. "And we're trying to make pancakes okay Alex"

"Right…now don't blame me if they suck" she just nodded and we started. Man was it a challenge. Once we were done with the batter Ellie started to make the pancakes and I couldn't help it…I might have thrown some at her.

"What was that?" she said feeling the back of her head where I had hit her. I couldn't even answer cause I was laughing so hard. "Oh you're getting it now". I watched at she looked at the bowl full of batter on the table. We both lunged for it and he each got a handful and just started throwing it at each other.

Eventually I ran out, "El I'm out…truce?" I called from my spot behind the table that had nothing on it and I had knocked over to use as a fort type thing. I stand up with my hands in the air.

"All right Truce" When she stood up I realized how good I got her, she was covered in batter from head to toe. I'm guessing that she noticed how well she got me because she started busting out laughing along with me. "Well so much for pancakes."

"I have a better idea why don't we just go to McDonald's?" I heard her say something about money but I finally got her to let me pay since I was going to stay at her house. We cleaned up the house and each took a shower and got dressed.

(Jay's point of View)

I decided to just walk around town to try to think of some way to win Alex back….
