Sorry that I haven't updated in a long time. School got the best of me along with. Since I'm finished with the semester and got the whole summer ahead of me, it's time for me to get those creative juices flowing. I'll try not to take too long to update again.

Now it is 5 o'clock in the afternoon and Alex got that rush that she was expecting. She was worn out and her head was rested on top of the counter. She didn't feel like talking to any more people. She looked up only a little bit to watch Sonny wiped down the counter and some of the equipment. "So what do you want to do later?" Alex asked.

"I thought you were going to be too tired to do anything after this." Sonny replied. She stopped wiping down the counters to look at the older girl. "But we could probably just stay in and watch movies."

Alex stood up all the way, turn around, and lean against the counter. "Sounds like a plan."

"No horror movies."

"Awww." Alex whined. "But that's no fun. It can't be a movie night without a horror movie."

"Yes, it can. I'm gonna choose the movies tonight." Sonny went back to finish cleaning up. She noticed the worried look on the older girl's face. "Don't worry, I'll try not to choose too many chick flicks." Alex showed a sign of relief when the younger girl had said that.

They heard the bell signaling that someone had walked in and Alex mentally groaned as she turned around to greet the customer but only to find that it was Miley. "Hey guys, how's it going?"

"Better now that it's over." Alex said to the brunette.

"Now you see why I'm so tired all the time." Miley responded as she walked to the office. "So anything interesting happened or just another boring day at work?"

"I wish it was boring day at work."

"Oh do tell." Miley said excitedly.

"Mitchie's mom came in to get coffee thinking Sonny was Mitchie when she walked in." Miley nodded as the older girl continued. "When I told Mrs. Torres who she really was, she fainted and fell onto the floor."

"Oh, wow, that's intense." Miley turned to Sonny. "How did you feel meeting her for the first time?"

"It was very overwhelming at first but when Mitchie finally came to help with the situation, it had gotten a little easier." Sonny responded.

"But Mitchie brought Shane with her because he was her ride here." Alex added, getting Miley's attention. "While he was standing in front of me, I was thinking that maybe it was truly time to move on. He loves Mitchie and she loves him. There's nothing I can do about it, so there's no use hoping that one day she would be mine again. I gave him my blessings and it felt like weight has been lifted off my shoulders."

"Oh that's good." Miley walked out of the office. "The one day the juiciest stuff happens and I decided to take the day off." Miley looked around at the equipment and notice how clean they were. "Sonny, you kept these cleaner than my other employees."

"Um, thanks." Sonny replied. "Is there anything else that you want us to do?"

The blue-eyed brunette did a quick scan of the place. "Nah, you guys can go. Thanks again."

"It was no problem, I was happy to help. Right, Alex?" Sonny nudged the older girl.

"Yeah, happy to help, no problem." Alex said. The two girls walked out of the coffee shop and made their way to their apartment. "If I volunteer to do this again, I'm gonna ask for money. Especially if it's gonna be that busy."

"Well, that kinda defeats the purpose of volunteering." The younger girl stated. Sonny looked at the older girl. "That was quite a day, wasn't it?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect it to pan out like that. I guess everything happens for a reason. It was bound to happen sooner or later." Alex crossed her arms and looked at her feet as they were walking. "I never thought I was ever gonna let her go. Now it feels so surreal, my mind still can't process it."

"I'm proud of you for finally taking that first step." Sonny grabbed her hand. "Now you can start moving on."

"Right now?"

"Tomorrow. Right now, I wanna go home and watch movies." Sonny tugged on the girl's hand so they could start walking faster.

~…~

The two girls were sitting on the couch in their pajamas and sharing a blanket. They had all kind of snacks imaginable on the coffee table in front of them. Sonny decided that the first movie that they should watch was The Notebook. She was saying that it was most romantic movie ever. Alex tried for the most part but she couldn't get into the movie. She was naturally bored when it came to these kind of chick flicks. At one point she almost fell asleep but what woke her up was when the younger girl grabbed her hand again.

So instead of watching the movie or falling asleep, her attention fell to the girl next to her who liked holding her hand. She had to admit, she did feel something when she kissed the girl earlier but she didn't want admit it because at that moment she was still holding onto Mitchie.

That wasn't the case anymore, she knew well that Mitchie wasn't hers to have anymore. Alex looked up at Sonny, who had tears slowly going streaming down her cheeks. She took her free hand that the younger girl wasn't holding and wiped away the girl's tear with the pad of her thumb.

Sonny was slightly surprise at that little gesture. She looked at the older girl, stared into her eyes. Alex's hand never left her cheek. She noticed that the older girl took a quick glance at her lips before looking back up at her eyes. Then Sonny began to feel self-conscious, she was beginning to think that Alex would only like her because she looked like her sister.

But as if Alex was reading her mind. "I don't like you because you look like Mitchie. I like you because you are you." Sonny felt she didn't need any more reassurance because she trusted the older girl more than she did with Chad.

Alex was about to lean in when the front door was slammed open. "Best tour ever!" The older girl turned to where she was facing the front door. There stood her other roommate, Stevie.

"Stevie, could you keep it down? The neighbors hate it when you do that." Alex told the girl.

"Oh hey, I didn't think you would be home right now." Stevie came over to the couch and made the girl scoot over so she could sit down. "But you wouldn't believe who I have date with this Saturday."

"Who?" Alex asked, mildly curious.

"So, apparently, the lead singer from Ugh has a son about our age." Alex scrunched up her face in disgust. Stevie took noticed of her expression. "That's what I thought too but it turns out that his son got all his looks from his mother's side. When he asked me out, I nearly fainted."

"You? Fainted?"

"Yeah, hard to believe, right?" Stevie leaned against the couch but then she realized that there was another person in the room. She sat up again. "Hey Mitchie, how's it going?"

"Um, Stevie, this isn't Mitchie."

"I'm not blind, Alex. I know who I am seeing." Stevie leaned forward to look at the younger girl and said. "You're still stuck with this girl? I mean, she's hot but the attitude?"

Sonny chuckled a little bit. "Alex, is right, I'm not Mitchie. I'm Sonny, her twin sister."

"Oh wow." Stevie looked at Alex. "You're getting it from both twins? Does Mitchie know you're doing this or you're doing it behind her back?" Neither question was answered because Alex decided to get up from the couch and walked to her room. "What's up with her?" She asked Sonny.

"I guess you were on tour when it happened." Sonny sat up straighter. "A few months ago, Mitchie had broken up with Alex because she fell in love with the lead singer from Connect 3."

"Aww, man, that sucks." Stevie sighed as she leaned against the couch. "I'm such an ass."

"You didn't know." Sonny told her. "I probably should go check on her." Stevie nodded her head as Sonny got up from the couch to check on the older girl. She went up to the closed door and lightly knocked, waited for an answer.

"Come in." She heard Alex said weakly. Sonny opened the door to see Alex lying down on her bed. Sonny walked in and closed the door behind her. She noticed that there was no sign that the older girl was crying. "I'm not mad or hurt if that's what you're thinking. I just hate getting reminded of my past, it really isn't about Mitchie at all. In fact, it was before I had gotten with Mitchie." Alex sat up on her bed.

"What do you mean?" Sonny asked curiously as she sat down next to the older girl.

Alex turned her body to where she facing Sonny. "To say the least, I wasn't the most innocent girl before Mitchie and I got together. It took a while for her to trust me with her heart but since she was always my best friend and already had my heart, I was willing to do anything to gain her trust."

"So you used to be a player?" Alex nodded. "I'm just curious because now I'm wondering, how come you haven't reverted back to that lifestyle again?"

"Because when I got with Mitchie, I swore that I would never go back down that path again. It wasn't healthy at all." Alex had laid back on her bed. "I hate that Stevie assumed that I went back to the old me, that part of me is dead and is never coming back."

Sonny had laid on the bed on her side facing Alex. The older girl turned her head so that she was looking at the beautiful girl beside her. "Everybody has a past, Alex. Some worst than others. I had some bad times myself in high school but that's a story for another time. From what you have told me, I can see you are a strong woman for not letting your past control you."

"Thanks."

"No problem." Sonny scooted closer to the older girl on the bed. Alex was already on her side looking at the younger girl. Sonny looked into her eyes and saw a strong girl, a girl who was broken but is slowly putting herself together again. "Could you continue what you were doing before your roommate walked in?" Sonny shyly asked.

"Of course."Alex then gently pressed her lips against the younger girl's .
