"Well we got the police called on us..." Isabella suddenly sobbed again, not being able to control her emotions.

Mr. Wilken's eyes got wide with shock, but he did not say anything. He was clearly waiting for her to continue.

Alex was sitting there awkwardlyfiddling with his hands slightly just to have something to do. He had never really been around a normal family before and he did not know what to think of the whole situation.Honestly, the teen really just wanted to go to bed. It was probably going to take another hour or so, if Isabella kept up like this. So, he decided that he would tell the story.

"Isabella is right, we did get the police called on us. A girl from our school rang the police thinking I was breaking into your house. They came and left a few minutes later, after realizing that I live here now. Jake found out that I was 'breaking into your house' and came to 'protect' Isabella. He started throwing punches at me and I just pinned back his hands, so that he would stop. Then you guys walked in. While you guys were talking to me in the other room, Isabella and Jake got in a fight and broke up."

Isabella's parents looked somewhat satisfied with the answer. They looked at Isabella for confirmation.

"No, that's not true. The police never found out that Alex lived here, they just left suddenly." Isabella said, while giving a really mean glare to Alex. She was clearly still upset that he was the reason that her and Jake broke up.

"Oh, I just inferred that they knew I lived here when they looked up my name and that's why they left so suddenly." Alex lied smoothly.

Mr. Wilkens bought it and nodded. "That seems correct. Thank you guys for telling me the truth. I am sorry that we ever doubted you guys. It's been a long day, you can grab whatever you want for dinner and start to prepare for bed."

Alex grabbed a bowl of cereal and ate it quickly, not really wanting to be around the family. He was really hungry since he had skipped lunch. Once again, no one was talking. He wondered why things always got difficult when he was involved. Alex quickly put his dishes away and ran upstairs. He lay down on his bed, not even wanting to check his phone, although heknew that it was probably overflowing with messages. More than half of them being from Tom. He was too tired to answer any of them. Alex was going to meet with Tom after practice tomorrow and explain everything as he hated that he could not be a normal teenager. He was not even allowed to mention anything on his normal phone about his 'work' so he would not be able to tell Tom anything at the moment anyways.

Groaning, the teen looked at the big pile of makeup work he had. He really did not want to do it right now and decided that he would get it done this weekend. Alex figured he could get it all done if he worked diligently. He set his alarm clock and before he knew it he was fast asleep.

Isabella was up in her room. She was thinking about all sorts of things like why Alex was so mysterious, about her breakup with Jake, and how horrible school was going to be tomorrow. She wanted to cry again, but she knew that it would not solve anything. She wondered what she would be doing right now, if Alex had never shown up in her life. But she didn't dwell on it. She was eager to get on facebook, wanting to get a glance of what school was probably going to be like tomorrow.

Isabella was shocked, there were all kinds of photos of Alex going into her house. Mostly the same ones posted multiple times by different people.

Alex really is a thief!

Druggie at it again!

Is Isabella okay?

Did Alex get caught?

Are Alex and Isabella in jail right now?

What did druggie take from Isabella's house?

Watch your stuff at school tomorrow! The Druggie is on the prowl!

All of a sudden there was a new post.

Jake:Isabella is a traitor, don't worry about her. I will xplain at scl tomorrow.

Isabella slammed her laptop shut; school tomorrow was going to be VERY interesting.

Authors Note: Thanks for reading! So, what should Jake tell the school about Isabella tomorrow? Please tell me:)
