AN: David soon realizes that he might have some feelings for his new friend. Also, a little about David is revealed...

Chapter Four: We're Just Friends?

David sat at his kitchen table, reading his handbook for school. While his eyes were on the handbook that he was reading, his thoughts turn to a certain brunette that he had met earlier. David, for some odd reason, could not get his mind off of her. Her beautiful brunette hair, her gorgeous blue eyes, David just couldn't get her out of his mind. She was cute, that was for sure, but what most attracted him to her was her mysterious past that she had. David knew that she had a kind of rough past just like him, and that what made them able to connect on a certain level. There was something else that made him think about her, but he couldn't think about it.

"What's up with you?" Louis said, sitting across from him.

"Nothing, just thinking." David said dreamily.

"Oh." Louis said in a suggestive tone. "It's about that girl you met earlier, right? Alex, was it? You like her, don't you?"

"What!?" David shrieked, face growing deep red. "We are just friends! That all!"

"Sure." Louis said. "If that's all that you are, why are you thinking about her so much?"

"I don't know. I just am, alright?" David said.

"Is she cute?" Louis asked him, and David's face went even redder.

"Yes." David squeaked.

"I'm Sorry?" Louis said. He could hear David plain as day, but he loves putting him on the spot, and David knows it.

"Yes. I think she is gorgeous. OKAY!?" David yelled. Louis had a contented smile on his face.

"I knew it." Louis said smiling. "What do you know about her?"

"Her family was killed in a car accident." David said.

"Well, she can relate to your situation." Louis told him. "We all lost family here. You lost your parents, and I lost my older sister. You know, it's good that you met someone like Alex. She can relate to you, and it seems that you are quite fond of her, in a romantic way, at that."

"Gee, thanks." David said. "I am going up to my room."

"Okay. Don't think about your girlfriend!" Louis joked at him.

As soon as David reached his room, he threw himself on bed. As son as he closed his eyes, he thought of Alex. Her smiling face was in his mind as he drifted off to sleep.

Alex was laying on her bed, staring at the ceiling. David was running through her mind, and she was sure that he was thinking about her as well. She rolled over, and breathed deeply. She knew that he had a rough childhood like she had, and that he was grateful for meeting someone that could actually relate to part of the pain that she had experience. Also, she was very weary about revealing her other painful secret to him. She was being abused in her home, or rather a prison, for a better term. She got off her bed and went to her window. She calmly looked out of it, out of it, and saw his house in the distance, with the top floor light on. She saw David walk by his window, and what she saw next made her blush really bad.

David, shirtless.

Alex, for whatever reason, could not take her eyes off of his shirtless frame.

What a body. Alex thought. She felt a little disappointed as he moved out of view. She calmly walked to her bed, and threw herself on it. She let the image of David flood her mind as she closed her eyes.

Ryan Smith laid on his bed, absolutely fuming. He knew that he had messed up before, but now? This was the one thing that could land him in the joint for good. What is he being investigated for?

Four counts of vehicular homicide in the deaths of Theresa Russo, Jerry Russo, Justin Russo, and Max Russo.

"How could I be so stupid?" Ryan told himself as he laid there. "No. I am not going to let all my hard work slip through and end on a stupid mistake."

Ryan knew that he had to be careful, and that meant tying up some loose ends, and one loose end was living not too far from him...
