Chapter 2
After the show, Tyra and Howie met Alex out front and they went for ice cream with Kevin, Alex's mother and Tyra's father.
"Tyra was telling me how good of friends you two are." Tyra's father, Serj Tankian said. "Dad" Tyra said putting her head in her hands, "Not this again"
"She said that they constantly are falling asleep on each other on the couch or the floor. And she's always making Alex feel better whether he is sick or just down." He said.
"Dad!" Tyra said blushing.
"I have noticed this. I think you two should go out." Alex's mom said.
"MOM!" Alex said blushing even harder than Tyra.
"What? You should" his mom replied.
The rest of that day, neither Alex nor Tyra talked or even looked at each other. It wasn't until Tyra was getting ready for bed did Alex say anything.
"Im sorry about my mom, you know she's nuts." He said trying to lighten the mood a little.
"Yea, I know" she smiled. "And I am about my dad. He knows things most don't about us." she finished as she started brushing her long black hair.
Alex walked over and sat on the bed next to her.
"You know, I really do like you. And I was going to ask you earlier but I chickened out." He said looking at her, then at the ground.
"Ask me what?" she said putting her brush down and staring at him confused.
"Um, well, I was…" he paused nervously for a minute. "You want to catch a movie sometime?" Was all that he could think of.
"Sure" she said.
She turned the light off and lay down. She looked up at Alex who didn't even move when she did this.
"Come here" she said rolling her eyes and holding her arms out.
Alex smiled and lay down next to her. He put his head on her chest and one arm over the top of her.
She wrapped her arms around him and started to sing an old Armenian song that her father used to sing to her.
