Chapter 7

Jodie and Alex had arrived at the Roberts' Residence and were now in Alex's bedroom. Alex was lying face down on her bed while Jodie sat next to her with her arms crossed.

"Seriously. What's wrong with you, Alex?"

"For the umpteenth time, nothing."

"Don't give me that crap. I saw how you acted when at the club, you still like her, don't you?" Alex rolled onto her side so she could look at Jodie. When she was about to reply, the door flew open, revealing Summer and Ryan standing behind it. Alex rolled onto her other side, so her back was facing the door, when she spotted the boy standing there.

"Hey, is she alright?" Jodie glanced at Alex before turning back to the other two and nodding.

"Yea, she's just not feeling well. A bit of rest will fix the problem though…" Alex scoffed and Jodie heard her.

"Oh, okay. Let me just say night then." Summer made her way over to the bed and crawled onto it so she could lean over Jodie's body to reach Alex's. "Night, sis." Alex looked back at her younger sister, and Summer kissed her lightly on the cheek.

"Night, Summer." She put her head back to its original position and closed her eyes. Summer got off of the bed and looked at Jodie.

"Are you gonna stay in here with her?" Jodie smiled and nodded.

"Yea, we've shared a bed before, so it's no big deal." She felt Alex hit her in the leg, but she just grinned deviously at Summer, who smiled back.

"Okay, night then." Summer gave Jodie a kiss on the cheek as well before leaving the room with Ryan, who waved. After they closed the door, Jodie moved her hand up to her cheek, and touched it slightly.

"Haha, your sister soo likes me." Jodie smiled triumphantly and did a little dance in the bed while Alex grabbed one of the pillows, that she wasn't already using, and covered her head with it.

"Shut up." Jodie stopped her victory dance and crossed her arms while smirking at the other girl.

"You're just jealous." Alex removed the pillow from her head, sat up, and glared at Jodie.

"Why the hell would I be jealous?" Jodie put her hands up in mock innocence.

"I was just kidding. Geeze, Alex. You didn't have to yell at me." Jodie said the last part rather shaken up, trying to make Alex feel bad. Alex lost all of her bite, and smiled softly at Jodie.

"I'm sorry that I yelled." Alex hugged Jodie from the side, which Jodie gratefully accepted and rubbed her back.

"And I'm sorry that your sister likes me." Alex rolled her eyes before letting go of Jodie.

"Oh my god, she does not!" She picked up the pillow from earlier and whacked Jodie with it. "My sister is not gay. She doesn't like girls. She likes boys!" Jodie defended herself by blocking the hits with her arms. Jodie laughed as she replied.

"That's what they all say." She then grabbed the pillow from Alex, and threw it across the room. "Mkay, that's enough of pillow fighting, well, you hitting me with a pillow." Alex rolled her eyes again at Jodie's remark.

"Same thing." Jodie nodded as she yawned.

"I'm tired, and it's like, nine. Newport sucks." Alex laughed as she laid her head back down onto the pillow.

"You just suck. Now go to bed with me."

"Go to bed with you? That sounds fun."

"Shut up and lay down. Sitting up causes the blanket not to work properly." Jodie slid down into a laying position and Alex scooted closer to Jodie's body. She rested her head onto Jodie's arm and as she wrapped her other arm around Jodie's body, she looked up at the other girl's face.

"I really am sorry…" Alex looked away from Jodie's face and began playing with the hem of Jodie's top.

"Me too…" Jodie gave Alex a sad smile, knowing what the other girl was talking about.
