-Chapter 1- Twelve Years Later (May 2007)

"Max, put your cotton candy suit away!" Teresa yelled from the Sub Station.
"But why? I'm using it." Max came in taking a bite.
"It's in the way. This is not the place for something like this. Besides your brother is coming home soon. I want this place to be perfect."
"It's not like he remembers it. And besides we don't know him and he doesn't know us."
"Well he knows of you, and he's home now so you can get to know each other."
"What kind of parents send away their kid away from home for thirteen years and don't see him all this time?" Max mumbled as he picked up the cotton candy and wrapping it around himself, ignoring the awkward stared from the customers.
"The kind that saw potential in their talented son and wanted him to ne successful. You will understand when he gets home. Besides, we did visit him."
"When? Where was I?"
"In school."

"Hey mom, Harper and I want to go see Spider-Man 3, can I have some money?"
"Alex honey, your coming home soon. You should be here."
"Max is right there." Ales said pointing out the obvious.
"No, I mean your other brother, Justin."
"Oh, the lost son is finally coming home huh?"
"Alex."
"Come on Mom, he's probably coming home late and I'll be back by then."
"Fine, go ask your dad for money."
"Thanks."

Let's stop and rewind. I understand you might be confused right now. Who is Max? Was he adopted? NO. He is actually a biological son. Two years after Alex was adopted, by some miracle, Teresa got pregnant and had the mist perfect pregnancy and birth in history of pregnancies. Dr. Wilkerson said he has never seen anything like this before. So there you have it. Back to the story.

Alex walked out of the Sub Station and ran right into somebody's broad chest.

"Slow down there princess, you'll hurt yourself." A husky voice said. Alex looked up into beautiful crystal blue eyes. "Are you ok?"

"Uh yeah, yeah, sorry." Alex stuttered. Straightening herself, she fixed her clothes and walked away.

"The movie was great! I still can't believe we got in without paying." Harper commented.
"The beauty of magic. Flashing into the theatre and getting seats where nobody else could sit."
"You know, I sometimes wonder, what if you get caught? What will happen then?"
"I don't know, but I won't get caught, because I am Alex Russo."
The two girls laughed as they walked into Waverly Place Sub Station.

"Alex, you're finally here!" Teresa exclaimed. "Come meet your brother!"
"Your brother? Why would you meet Max?" Harper asked softly.
"No, my other brother. Apparently he's 3 years older than me and smart. That's why he's only coming home now after being away from home in some boarding school for the "super smart" for thirteen years." Alex explained, putting air quotations on the super smart.
"Wow, can't wait to meet him." Alex rolled her eyes.

They walked up stairs to the Russo apartment that was located above the Sub Station.

"Alex, meet your brother Justin." Jerry announced.
Alex Russo felt her heart stop for a second when she looked into the same crystal blue eyes she looked into earlier that day. It was the same guy. Was this really her older brother Justin?

"Hi, you must be Alex." He stretched out his hand. Alex just stared in shock. Her heart thumped loudly and she wondered if anyone else heard it.

"Oh my God," Harper whispered beside her. "He is gorgeous."
"You have no idea." Alex thought. She realized he was still holding out his hand.
"Ha, who does that?" she laughed. "No body shakes hands these days."
"Sorry, Justin, she's like that." Teresa apologized. It seemed so wrong. It was like he was some special guest and not a family member.

"It's fine mom, no biggy."
"Great. So now we know each other, what's for dinner mom?"
"Alex!"
"it's alright, I'm kind of hungry myself."
"What are you 30?" Alex mumbled under her breath.
"You're quite feisty for a 12 year old, "Justin commented.
"And you're too….." Alex tried looking for the word.
"What? Can't find a word?"
"I can to!" Alex shot back.

And that was how the two siblings started their love hate fighting relationship. They fought over everything and anything, but they always had each other's back. And deep down, there was a feeling they were both trying to control.
