Chapter 4

Katherine sat in Alex's room, she had fallen asleep on the couch the night before, and assumed that he moved her to the bed. She yawned and stretched before actually looking around. She was surprised that his room was so clean. She stood up and walked towards his closed door when she heard his voice. "Yeah, dude, she's in my room," Katie smiled at the tone in his voice, it sounded so sincere. She pulled at the door lightly and frowned when she heard the next part.

"Yeah, I already got her in bed," She noticed Alex smirking as he held his cell phone to his ear. "Of course it was easy," Kate walked up and glared at him as his Mom walked into the living room.

"You're a bastard," She kicked him between the legs and walked to the door, she paused to look back at him. "You haven't changed at all. I hope you burn in hell," She slammed the door as she walked out into the rain. She started running and ended up in front of the dance studio. She let a smile grace her lips as she walked up to the doors. At least one thing that stays constant.

She couldn't wrap her head around why he would be kind and then say some horrible things like that. Katie did what she always did to get away from it all, she turned on some music and let her mind go blank.

Alex's mom was looking at him with a confused look on her face as he slowly pushed himself up onto the couch. "What was that about? And who was that?" She asked as Alex looked up at the ceiling.

"I'll tell you more later Chris," Alex said into the phone before closing it. "That was Katherine Baker. She's a girl from school. I like her, and yesterday I was doing her a favor by letting her stay the night. She heard me comment something about my bed, and she took it the wrong way," He stated not wanting to get in to the details about why he wanted to 'date' her and the details of why she was actually there. He frowned realizing she probably went home to her dad. "I'm gonna go out for awhile," He told his mom before grabbing his shoes and keys and walking out.

He ended up driving towards her house and parked out in front. He walked up and knocked on the door before he even had time to think of something to say to her. He looked up as a guy, who looked to be about middle aged and had slightly blood shot eyes answered the door. "Um, is Kat here?" He asked trying to make it sound like he knew her well. The guy looked at him for a moment and let out a sigh at the type of guys his daughter was hanging out with.

"No. She didn't come home last night… Well she came home once, and I scared her away. She's probably with her friend Jason," He stated with a deeper frown on his face. Alex couldn't help but frown at this statement as well. It was a well known fact that Jason Casey got around. And even though Jason was best friends with Katie… Well he liked to think of it this way, Chris, his nice, easygoing friend was the person who bet him about dating Katie… With the other guys Jason hung out with, it would probably be more like betting on whether or not he could get her in bed.

He sighed as his mind wandered slightly. Maybe if I didn't try so hard to keep my reputation at the level it's at, she wouldn't hate me as much.

He shook it off and glanced up at her dad. "Thanks Mr. Baker," Alex watched her dad nod and close the door. He walked back to his car and started it. He tried to think of where else Katherine might be at the time, he didn't want to go to Jason's house at the moment. He sighed as he decided it would be best to call Chris back.

He ended up going to Chris' house instead of calling him. He knocked on the door and smiled politely at Chris' mom. "Hi Mrs. Sabin, is Chris home?" He smiled as she nodded and let him in.

"Chris, Alex is here," She called with a smile on her face. "He should be right out," Alex nodded in thanks and sat on the couch in the living room. Chris walked out with a confused look on his face.

"You said you were going to call back… What's up," Chris asked as Alex glanced up to see Chris' mom was still around.

"I wanted to hang out. I was hoping we could go drive around and pick some things up for that school project," He stated hoping Chris would catch on quickly. Alex wasn't about to admit that Katie had heard him make it sound like they had sex, in front of Chris' mom. Chris nodded and looked up at his mom.

"I'm gonna hang out with Alex. If you need me I have my cell phone," She nodded with a sigh as Chris and Alex walked out to his car. "You're gonna explain about the comments you made earlier?" Alex nodded as they got in the car. He turned the key and started driving.

"So before you heard her call me a bastard and stuff, well more like I was going to add it but was interrupted by that. I was going to explain that last night she fell asleep on the couch and I carried her into my room, and laid her on my bed," Alex stated and when he saw the look on Chris' face, he added to that. "I slept on the couch last night, so don't start. But I know I made it sound like something happened, but I swear to god I was kidding, I… I think I actually like her a little bit. And I don't know if that has anything to do with the bet or not," Alex stated as he parked in a café's parking lot.

"Wow, I think that's the deepest thing I've heard you say in a long time," Chris joked as he looked over to see Alex looking at his hands. "Hey, forget about the bet alright? Because if you really like her, then you should go for it. Not only that, but if it's for a bet, she's never going to forgive you. Okay?" Alex looked up and met Chris' eyes. Chris smiled as Alex grinned.

I have an awesome best friend. His friend was willing to help him get a girl that was most definitely different from all of his ex-girlfriends.

A/n: Alright, so this is long overdue and I apologize. I've been busy with school and work, and even though I'm on break from school, with all the homework and family stuff going on, I haven't been able to find time and motivation for this story. It also doesn't help that each time I sit down to type, I find something out. Like, I was going to try and update all my stories Monday or Tuesday, but I found out Monday night that the drummer from one of my favorite bands, Avenged Sevenfold, had died. May James Owen Sullivan (The Rev) rest in peace.

Anyways, I really hope you liked this chapter. It took me forever to actually finish, and I know that sounds bad because it's kind of short, but it's true. Anyway, I don't know how many more chapters there will be of this story, mainly because I have more information on the sequel I want to write, except it involves Avenged Sevenfold, and will be kind of hard to write with the current situation. Please leave a review and have a Happy New Year!!!!! =)
