Hey, I read the review y'all left me, and they really made me smile. So here's the next part, and I haven't decided yet, but there will probably be some demena in this, I think 6 chapters is long enough to wait for some Mitchie/Alex, oui?

We've been shopping, it was great, I still haven't asked her about why her brother asked 'new girlfriend,' but I figured it could wait until morning, so now I'm lying in bed, half asleep. Keeli decided to sleep at her uncles, and Alex was in her room. It was 1.00 AM.

*Dream*

"Mitchie, get in here!" I heard my dad slur from his bedroom. I figured he was drunk, as usual, so I knew I would get beaten up… as usual. I opened the door, and saw standing by his bed with his belt in his hands and his trousers down by his ankles.

"W-What's going on?" I asked, my voice shaking from worry. He smirked and pointed to the bed.

"Lie down." I didn't move. "I said fucking lie down!" He shouted, whipping his belt on thin air, just centimetres away from my face. I ran to the bed and lay down, my eyes shut. I knew what was coming. I didn't know why, he'd never done it before. I felt my shorts pulled down, followed by my underwear. I felt pain, in an area I'd never had touched before. He was groaning, and I wanted to scream. I kept trying to scream for help, but I couldn't, no sound came out.

*end dream.*

"Mitchie!" I heard my name called by Alex. My eyes snapped open, and I saw Alex looking down at me.

"Mitchie, Are you okay?" She asked, her voice cracking. Her eyes were full of concern and I realised that her hand was on my shoulder, holding me tightly.

"Y-Yeah, I'm sorry." I said.

"Don't apologise to me. You've done nothing wrong, you just had a nightmare. You were screaming." She told me. I guess sound did come out when I was trying to scream.

"Sorry… for waking you up." I quickly added. She smiled reassuringly and let go of my shoulder to stand up next to the bed.

"Do you…" She trailed off, shaking her head.

"Do I what?"

"Nothing, It's stupid."

"No, go on." I said, hoping she'd tell me what she was gonna say.

"Okay, do you think if I climbed in with you, you might be okay? When I used to have nightmares as a little kid, I used to crawl in with my mom and dad, or brother, and I'd be fine." She told me. I considered it, I used to do that as well when I was little, and my nightmares would go.

"Do you mind?" I whispered.

"Of course not." She said, lifting the sheets and climbing in next to me. I turned on my side so my back was facing her, and she wrapped her arm around my waist. I closed my eyes, and soon fell back asleep, but not before I felt Alex kiss my neck.

"Goodnight, Mitchie." She whispered quietly, it was barely audible, but I heard her.

It was the best night sleep I'd had in a long time.

I opened my eyes and a huge smile crept across my face, for two reasons. 1; No nightmare. 2; Alex was next to me smiling at me.

"Morning." I said, rubbing my eyes, then turning to the clock to see what time it was. 11.45.

"Morning." She said, moving on the bed then getting out. "I'll go make us breakfast, come down when you're ready okay?" She asked. I nodded, and waited for her to leave the room. I threw the covers off me and went to the closet, which was now full of the clothes Alex brought me yesterday. I grabbed the black tight paramour V-neck tee-shirt, and a pair of bright blue skinny jeans with a black studded belt. I put them on quickly, then went downstairs to find Alex in the kitchen attempting to cook bacon.

"Shit." She said, as she dropped a piece on the floor after she attempted to turn it over with her hands. I don't know why she did that, you don't even need to turn bacon, especially not with your hands.

"You know, bacon cooks all the way through on one side, you don't need to turn it. Especially not with your hands." I said to Alex, who was on the floor attempting to pick up the obviously hot bacon.

"Ow, bolocks. Seriously?" she asked, tossing the bacon from one hand to the other then back again.

"Yeah, seriously. What happened? Yesterday you could cook." I said, remembering the pancakes she made us.

"I can cook pancakes, I used to do it all the time as a kid, I can't cook much else. Get used to living off Take-outs, microwave meals, and chicken nuggets & chips." She said with a joking smile, throwing the bacon in the bin and getting more out of the packets, that's when I noticed the 3 empty packets on the worktop.

"Wow, seriously, do you just want me to tell you when it's cooked? Save you wasting any more?" I offered. Alex nodded sheepishly, and I went and stood over the cooker, occasionally poking the bacon.

"Here." I said, putting 2 pieces of bacon on some bread for Alex. She giggled and sat to the table to eat it. I joined her and we ate our breakfast.

"Alex, can I ask you something?" I asked her, deciding it was now or never… or now of later.

"Course." She said after swallowing a mouthful of bacon sandwich.

"Why did your brother ask if I was your new girlfriend?" I asked nervously, poking at my half eaten sandwich.

"I wondered how long it would be before you asked me." She said, taking another bite of her sandwich. She swallowed, then carried on. "It's because for the past few months I've been going on random dates with girls, some of them have picked up to relationships, but they never lasted." She explained to me. I'm pretty sure my eyes went wide from shock.

"Wow, I mean… Wow… I thought you were straight… what about Keeli?" I asked, I mean surely she must've liked boys at some point.

"So did I… well, no, I always knew I was never straight, I thought I was bisexual, that's what I told everyone as well, But when I always felt weird in relationships with boys. I liked them, I thought they were fit and stuff, until I started dating them. I liked sleeping with them, I still do, but I never liked relationships with them. But then, with girls, it was different, I like them even after I start dating them, I've never fallen in love with a boy, I've never even been close, I was only dating Keeli's dad because he wouldn't sleep with me unless we were dating. I've fallen in love with a girl, once, but she was straight, so I did all I could to forget about her, and it worked. So it's complicated, I'm not gay, I'm not straight, and I'm not bisexual either." She told me. She confused me, I couldn't think of what she could be.

"Oh… well, I guess that really is complicated. But okay." I said with a smile.

"You're not freaked out by it?" She asked me.

"No, why would I be? I mean… I can hardly judge, can I?" I asked her. She chuckled and put her empty plate in the dishwasher. She walked back to the table and silently asked me if I was done. I nodded and she threw the rest of my sandwich in the bin, then let my plate join hers in the dishwasher.

"Mitchie, now it's my turn to ask you something, okay?" She asked, sitting back opposite me at the table, I nodded for her to continue, and she opened her mouth to speak again.

"Have you ever liked someone that you shouldn't, because it could get you into a lot of trouble?" She asked me.

"Y-Yeah, why?"

"Who?" She asked, ignoring my question.

"Please don't ask that… I can't lie to you." I said, hoping she'd drop it.

"Oh, come on, I don't mind who you like, I'm not gonna say anything." She said, smiling at me. I felt I could trust her with this, she was a teacher, she wouldn't be mad that I liked her… hopefully. Well, only one way to find out.

"Fine… She's a lot older than me, and she looks out for me, and she's just… the most amazing person I've ever met." I told her, she just looked at me expectantly, waiting for me to tell her who she is. "And she's a teacher." I said.

"Oh my god… which teacher? Do I know her?" She asked quickly adding the last question.

"You are her." I whispered, looking down at the table. She didn't say anything for a while, I heard her pull her chair out and get up, her footsteps were getting closer to me, and then she stopped once she was next to me.
