I DO NOT OWN THE TWILIGHT SAGA.

Alex's P.O.V.

"Alex are you sure you wanna do this?" Leona asks me. It's Thursday, the day before my first date with Brady. I had dragged my sister to the mall in Port Angeles so I can get a haircut. I want a change, and to be honest I'm getting tired of having long hair. I nod.

"I'm sure," I say, then the hair dresser makes the first cut and the raven black stands fall to the floor. Ten minutes later, Leona and I are walking towards the food court. My hair is now shoulder-length and choppy, with medium side-swept bangs. And since my hair used to go all the way to my butt, my head now feels ten times lighter. The other Brightside to my haircut, is that now some little boy or girl will get a new wig, as I donated my hair to a charity that makes wigs for little kids with cancer and other sicknesses that causes their hair to fall out.

We decide to get Taco Bell for lunch and I get two tacos and a small drink. We find a seat and start eating. It's nice to spend time with my little sister. To go shopping and get our nails done. I got fake nails and I had them painted a light pink with a design to make them look like little pig faces. Judge me if you want, but I think they are adorable. Then my toe nails are just painted a dark pink. And I got the perfect outfit for tomorrow. It's simple but cute.

"So… how have you been?" I ask Leona. She's quiet for a second; and I know from the memories that I've been remembering, that she likes to think over her answer before she talks. She looks up at me.

"Well… I'm doing okay. I'm just happy that you're alive," she says.

"Yeah, me too." It's quiet for a second while we eat our food.

"I thought you were gonna die" she says quietly. I furrow my eyebrows.

"Why would you think that?" I ask, truly curious.

"Because when I woke in the hospital and I asked about you; they told me that you had a fifty percent chance of dying. I know they didn't tell Mom and Dad, but they told me. They didn't want to tell Mom and Dad because they were already in hysterics, but… they were gonna tell them when they calmed down but then you started to get better." This takes me aback. They never said anything about me having a fifty percent chance of living. That's scary to think about, no longer existing. To be dead at the age of sixteen.

"Well… I'm alive, I survived. That's all that matters, right?" I ask.

"Yeah I guess, but don't scare me like that again." I smile.

"I'll try," I promise her. When we are done we go home in the rental car that my parents got me to drive around in. Some people might think that I would be afraid of getting into a car after the accident, but I'm not really scared. It wasn't my fault. When we get home I bring my bags inside. Mom and Dad are not home. Mom is at work, she's a lawyer, and Dad is also at work, he's an engineer; I have no idea as to where my brothers are, but then again it's been that way all week. I put my stuff away in my closet, then I take Dexter out for a walk around the neighborhood.

~Friday; six o'clock~

When six o'clock comes around I take a shower and get dressed in my outfit. A red and blue flannel shirt with black skinny jeans and brown combat boots. I blow dry my hair and brush it. I put on a gray beanie and start to put on makeup. Just as I finish brushing my teeth, Leona appears at my shoulder and motions down stairs, indicating that Brady is here. I hold up one finger telling her that I need a minute. She nods and goes down stairs. I sigh, and put my hearing aids in. I put on a bracelet, grab my purse and head down stairs. I can see Dad talking to Brady about how he expects him to treat me and stuff. I roll me eyes at his cliché behavior. When I reach the bottom of the stairs Brady looks up and smiles widely when he sees me and I find myself smiling back at him. He stands up and meets me by the stairs.

"So… you ready to go?" he asks. I take a deep breath. This is it; I'm going on my first ever date.

"Yeah," I say. After answering a few questions for my dad, we go outside to his car and he opens the door for me. "So what are doing?" I ask when he gets into the car.

"We're going to see a movie," he says pulling out of the driveway.

"Which movie?"

"Avatar."

"Avatar? What's it about?"

"I can't explain it, but I heard it's good," he says. I nod. When we get to the movie theater Brady pays for the tickets and I insist on paying for the snacks for I'm not the kind of girl that will make the guy pay for everything. We get two large buckets of popcorn- I only wanted to get one but he said that we would need two, two boxes of sour gummy worms and two drinks. We find two seats in the middle of the theater and wait for the movie to start. All throughout the movie he holds my hand. And my skin tingles where he touches it.

"So what did you think?" he asks me when the movie is over. We are walking around town just enjoying each other's company.

"It was a really good movie," I say. And it's true, I enjoyed it. "So tell me about yourself."

"Well, I was born and raised in La Push. I'm the youngest of two children; my sister Hannah is away at college. And my mother left my father, sister and I when I was little."

"I'm sorry," I say, feeling sympathetic.

"It's not your fault she left," he says.

"I'm still sorry."

"Me too; but there's nothing I can do about it." He stops speaking for a moment, I guess he's trying to think of something else to say. "Let's see… I like to run, and I have a big group of great friends." I think of more questions to ask him, because I'm honestly interested in what he has to say.

"What's your favorite color?"

"Green. What's yours?"

"I like the color orange," I say. We talk for a little while longer then he takes me to dinner at an Italian restaurant. When we get back to my house we stand outside the door and say goodbye.

"I had a really great time," I say, smiling widely. He's perfect and I might be developing a crush on him.

"Me too. Do you wanna do this again sometime?" he asks. I could defiantly see myself going on another date with him.

"Sure, I'm not sure when the next time I'll be free is, because they want to see me back at the hospital to make sure I'm doing okay; but I'd really like to hang out again," I tell him. And in that moment when I'm staring into his dark eyes that I realize that there is so much chemistry between the two of us. I look at his lips. They are full and so kissable. I look back up into his eyes and I can tell his mind is on the same page as mine. We start to lean in closing our eyes. Oh my God. Am I really about to kiss a guy on our first date? I mean that's kind of crazy, but not unheard of. He is a guy I really like. And a hot guy at that. And I really want to kiss him. Our lips are a quarter of an inch apart, about to touch, when the door opens. To reveal Jared standing in the door way. I pull back and blush. Why did Jared have to pick this moment to interrupt? I kind of think he did it on purpose.

"Alex, are gonna come in or are you gonna stand out there all night?" he says. I glance up apologetically at Brady who is giving Jared the death stare. I turn around and start walking through the door, but then stop. I know just what to do to get back at my brother for interrupting my first kiss. I turn around and, quickly, walk over to Brady, put my hand on the back of his neck and pull his lips on to mine. I kiss him quickly then let go. With the biggest smile on my face, I run to my room before Jared can get to me. I hear the front door slam shut. When I get to my room I put my stuff down, sit on my bed and scream into my pillow.

I just had my first kiss.

I just had my first kiss! I squeal and lay down on my bed. I can't stop smiling. I bite my lip and think about his lips. He had been surprised at first, but after a second he had started to kiss me back. His lips were warm, just like his body temperature. I had asked him about it but he had said that it was genetics. I have a feeling that it runs deeper than that, but I didn't question him further. I had known that he wouldn't say anything more about it.

At that moment Leona walks in, followed by Antigone. Antigone walks to her bad and lays down. Leona sits on the edge of my bed and curls up her feet. I sit up.

"So how did it go?" she asks.

"It was amazing" I say.

"Well… give me details! Where did he take you?!"

"He took me to see that new movie, Avatar. Then we walked around for a little bit and then we went out to dinner."

"Was there anything else that happened?"

"We might have kissed," I say.

"Oh my gosh! He kissed you?!" Leona squeals.

"Well, I kissed him. But still we kissed." We squeal in harmony. After a few minutes we calm down.

"Okay. So tell me exactly how it happened. I want every detail," she demands. So I tell her. About how Jared interrupted us. How I wanted to get back at him. How Brady's lips felt. I've gotta admit. Having a sister is nice. You can talk to her about anything. And she will give you constructive criticism. Finally, Leona says that we have to go to bed if we want to be wide awake tomorrow. We say goodnight and she leaves. I get dressed in a pair of pajama pants with a shirt that doesn't match. I wash the makeup off of my face and put my hair into a pony tail. I say goodnight to Antigone, take off my hearing aids, and climb under my covers, falling asleep quickly.
