Well it WAS a long night…I guess…after Mitchie FINALLY stopped torturing me! Guitar Hero was long forgotten so we all just sat around talking and mucking about eating all the crap we could find because we STILL couldn't leave the apartment!

Damn Teenies!

Well we watched a couple of movies. One in particular Shane and Mitchie INSISTED on…it being a scary movie…me (being the only wizard of course) being terrified of all that supernatural stuff. Ironic huh?

Lets just say when I get scared I scream and hide behind things like an absolute girl…I hope Nate didn't feel to awkward...I think he may have enjoyed my terror though!

At about 2 in the morning they could FINALLY left.

Not that I wanted them to leave but it was SOOO embarrassing. We all exchanged numbers and such so we are all gonna hang out again tomorrow/today, hopefully it wont be as bad as today/tonight.

All though I have to admit it was fun. Shane is soooo funny! And Jason was so…well Jason! Haha but Nate…

Nate was something else. I can't describe it. I don't know what it was but he did something to me.

One second I was my charming, sassy sarcastic self. Then the next. I was a bumbling, fumbling IDIOT!

UGH!

Oh good! Mitch is finally out of the shower!

"MITCHIE!!! SIT!" I demand pointing to the edge of my bed.

"ooohh kaaayyy. Alex I know your upset I didn't tell you about shane right away but I wanted to tell you in PERSON!" Mitchie spluttered defensively.

"yea I don't care, I get it! But what is wrong with me!!" I cry flopping back onto my queen size bed hugging my stuffed tiger.

"what do you mean Alex?"

"what do I mean? Ugh! I acted like an- UGH! and he-UGH! Why am I even like this- UUGGHH!!!"

Mitchie was silent for a second. Taking it all in. Until suddenly erupting in laughter.

"what is so funny Michelle?" I asked her sitting up slightly.

"you! You- you totally like NATE! No more than that your freakin in love with him!" She said before calming down again.

"what! No your being ridiculous! I have only met him today"

"yesterday Alex. Speaking of which we should probably SLEEP haha" Mitchie had a point we probably should sleep.

"yea yea but this conversation is Not over! And you still have to tell me ALL about Shane and EVERYTHING Mitchie"

"yes, yes, yes. night Alex"

"night…" I mubled before drifting off into the wonderful world of sleep…

……………

"WAIT! WAIT! Come back! Don't leave me! We can make it work!" I scream, tears streaming down my face.

I'm standing in a beautiful courtyard, with a marble floor and marble pillars with flowering vines intwining with them.

"I can't stay I'm sorry." The mysterious voice in the shadows said. I cant see him very well, its night time.

"please! Please don't go! Don't leave me! No come back!" I beg and plead again.

I can just see him. He is slowly fading away. I scream again.

"NO! no no NO! don't leave me! I don't want to be alone!"

"I'm sorry Alex" he says as his voice and body fades away.

"NOOOO!!!" I scream before dropping to my knees. A single tear slides down my cheek staining it.

"I love you…"

…………………………………

"ALEX! ALEX! Wake up!" oh my god is it him! Did he come back!

"Alex wake up!" damn I recognise that voice its just Mitchie.

"what Mitch" I lazily say peeking out my eyes.

"you were tossing and turning in bed and you were screaming Alex! Are you ok?" Mitch asks. Concern filling her eyes.

"yea I'm fine" I smile fakely. Truth is I'm not fine. That dream really freaked me out. It felt so real, I really felt alone and sad, I really did have a tear coming down my cheek-

wait huh?

…………………………………………………………..

"Alex its 4 o'clock are you sure your okay? I mean we can cancel and tell the guys they cant come over?"

"nah mitch I'm fine. You should really stop worrying! Haha!" I nervously laughed trying to convince her.

*knock, knock*

"Shanes here! Do I look okay? Is my hair fine? Oh my god what if he doesn't like what I'm wearing! What if-." I interrupt her rambling.

"Mitch chillax he would be crazy in love with you even if you were wearing sweats!"

"he is NOT crazy in love with me…" Mitch said while I walked over to open the door.

"uugh-oof" what the…oh dear lord!

"oh my god Alex I'm so sorry!" Nate said getting off of me.

"way to go little bro! haha push alex to the ground and flatten her twice in two days! HAHA your on a roll aren't you! haha" Shane said laughing at us.

"oh god Alex I'm soooo sorry!" Nate said again. I just stand there staring into his eyes. Gosh that sounded so cliché but its true! I just…keep getting lost in them.

"Alex?"

"oh. Right. Uh. Mitch lets get the popcorn and crap ready." I start walking and dragging her away from Shane before she can reply.

NATES POV

"oh god Alex I'm soooo sorry!" I apologize again. I can't believe I knocked her to the ground…AGAIN!!! Shes just standing there staring at me. It feels like her gaze is burning me…but a good burn. Alex has got the most gorgeous eyes. They are so dark brown they are almost black!

"Alex?" I say nervously. She still hasn't stopped staring at me. I cant tell if its good or bad. Oh god she's going to hate me now.

"oh. Right. Uh. Mitch lets get the popcorn and crap ready." she drags Mitchie from a Love struck Shane.

"oh my god Shane what did I do?! Again! Ugh!" I sigh exasperatingly and collapse onto the couch heavily.

"chill out dude. She likes you don't worry." Shane said in his 'go-with-the-flow' attitude.

"you don't know that! and she definitely wouldn't now! I freakin knocked her to the ground and, in your words, flattened her!" I whisper shouted at Shane remembering Alex and Mitchie are only in the Kitchen.

"trust me dude the way you two were looking at each other…hey do you think Mitch likes me? Cause you know how I feel…and I really hope she does…do you think she does? Should I ask her out? Or would that be weird and ruin our friendship?" Shane said starting to freak out.

"Shane. She really really likes you! Its obvious with. The. Way. She. Looks. At. You…ok did you just trick me into that?"

"possibly...actually no not at all. Ugh! Haha" he laughs it off.

"hey guys we have the popcorn ready and this time I am picking the movie!" Alex said immerging from the kitchen.

ALEX'S POV

"hey guys we have the popcorn ready and this time I am picking the movie!" I said a little bit louder than necessary to let them know I was there.

"Alex I promise this movie won't be as scary as last nights one." Mitchie said stifling her giggles.

I scoff and throw a pillow at her while sitting down on the floor leaning on the couch next to nates legs.

"NO! Mitchie NO! I refuse to watch another horror movie! No way! How about a comedy or something?"

1 Hour Later

"aaaahh!" I scream…again…

yes we are watching ANOTHER bloody horror movie!

*BOOM*

"AAAAAAHHHH" I scream as thunder cracked and shook the loft. I latched on to Nates leg tightly.

"ummm I'll get some candles" Shane said. I open my eyes and realise that the power has gone out…and I'm still clutching Nates leg.

"oh god Nate I'm sorry!" I apologise. Begrudgingly letting go of his leg.

"its ok" he says holding his hand out to help me up.

The second our hands touch there is a shock in my fingers and Nate and I look at each other.

*BOOM*

"AAHH!" I scream as Nate pulls me into him. God he smells good. Oh Alex please! are you serious? Your in the middle of a massive storm, terrified and you are thinking about how good he smells? FOCUS.

"um where are Shane and Mitchie?" I ask but not moving out of his embrace.

"they went upstairs to your room I think, come on lets go." Nate says letting go of me and leading me up the stairs.

"is it safe to come in?!" I shout as I walk in covering my eyes.

"HAHAHA! Says the one getting cuddly with Nates leg!" Mitchie said. Shane cracked up laughing while I just stood there blushing furiously.

I stole a glance at Nate but I couldn't tell what his facial expresion was. It's too dark.

I'm sorry Alex…

my dream? what does that have to do with anything?

WOAH! It couldn't possibly be could it? Nate couldn't be the mysterious guy in my dream right?

*BOOM*

"AAAAAHH!" this time it wasn't me who screamed it was Mitchie.

"I suggest we all just go to sleep or something cause you two obviously can't go home in this storm and quite frankly I'm not letting you cause I'm scared." I announced.

"Me TOO!" Mitchie agreed before cowering in Shanes arms again.

"ok than I'm cool with that how bout you Nate?" Shane asked his brother.

"yea nah its cool, but there is no way I can sleep just yet." He said. To be totally honest I probably couldn't either.

"Mitchie how bout you and Shane sleep in the guest room..." I say and they start walking off, wait on second thoughts

"SEPARATE beds!" I yelled after them.

I sat down on my bed and watched Nate walk around my room. After inspecting everything he turns around to sit on the bed with me when he notices me staring.

"hey you look tired maybe you should go to bed?" Nate asks. About to argue him I do a MASIVE yawn.

"yea come on" he says pulling back my sheets for me and helping me in.

"thanks Nate" I say sleepily. Gosh how did I get from being wide awake to completely exhausted.

"no problem alex." Nate says as he brushes some hair off of my face.

*BOOM*

"aah!" I scream…again…like I always do in storms. But I pulled Nate into me making him stumble and fall on my bed.

"ssshhh Alex its ok" Nate says stroking my hair lightly while getting comfortable lying on my bed.

"sorry Nate *yawn* im not really that *yawn* tired I swear *yawn*"

"its ok Alex. And yes you are" he smirks down at me. God he looked so hot right now.

*BOOM*

I whimper and Nate pulls me into his arms closer.

"go to sleep Alex." He orders.

"no *yawn*" I pathetically tried to protest.

"Alex…" he warned.

"fine I will" I sighed giving in. he starts getting up to leave.

*BOOM*

I yelp and pull him back down onto me

"don't leave me" I whisper.

"I won't" he whispers back and kisses my forhead.

I can hear his steady breaths. They are so calming. I can't believe this one guy can turn me. Alex russo bold, sarcastic, stubborn Alex Russo into this new Alex who needs to be protected and looked out for, who is quiet and a little shy, timid and nervous.

A guy has never been able to do this to me before…

"ever…" I heard Nate whisper. Atleast I think he did? it was barely audible.

Nate kissed my forhead again and I drifted off into a deep sleep. A peaceful, peaceful sleep...
