Hi guys. I'm in a better mood so I wrote the 10th chapter of Fighting For Alex. Okay so I don't own the songs TO BE WITH YOU BY DAVID ARCHULETTA OR THE SONG I MUST BE DREAMING BY THE MAINE. Okay. So the choir I'm in placed 1st in the WVCEA fine arts competition. And the Choral Group I was in also placed 1st so yeah I didn't get blisters for nothing.

Chapter 10:
Alex
Okay so Shane has most likely heard that scream and is rushing up her right now. Ugh, why can't anything go right? Why must everything in the world go wrong for me? So I looked over at Nate who was sitting against the wall. You would have though he would be all over me but he's not. After about five or six minutes of silence Nate finally spoke.

"I'm so sorry Alex. I didn't know you were changing. I'm sorry." Nate told me as he walked over to his room.

I never thought I would say this but I did. "Its okay Nate, the lock on the door was broken, its not your fault." I told him as I walked over to Shane's room and put all my stuff in there.

I walked over to the step where I knew that if Shane was coming up here he would be running to. Then I heard someone playing the guitar which is really weird since only Jason, Shane's older brother that went off to college already, was the only one that had ever played the guitar. It sounded like it was coming from Nate's room so since I am very nosey I went over to his door which was conveniently crack far enough so that a person could look in. I looked in and saw Nate sitting on his bed strumming his guitar trying to tune it.

"ALEX! WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!?" I heard Shane yell from downstairs. And on that note it was time for me to run down the stairs. I stopped at Shane's room and got my stuff then I ran down stairs put my stuff in the closet in the foyer and ran over to the entrance of the kitchen.

"I'm right here Shane." I said as I walked into the kitchen where I saw Shane eating.

"Okay, so why did you scream? I was on my way up to see what happened but then I got hungry so I got Jonathan to make me some cookies." Shane said stuffing his face full of cookies.

"There was a big spider in the bathroom. And you know that I have a huge fear of spiders. So yeah, I screamed." I told him coming up with great lie if I do say so myself. I wouldn't really want Nate to get hurt. Shane is WAY to overprotective of me and he would really like to actually hurt Nate if he had the chance. Ugh, I'm so hating this year so far. I thought as I snatched a cookie from Shane.

"Hey! Get your own cookie." Shane said whining like a little kid.

"But I like your cookies better than all the rest." I told him giving him my signature puppy dog pout.

"Fine, you can have them," Shane said giving in like he always did.

"Yay!" I said walking into the living room with the plate of cookies. "So can we watch a movie?" I asked sitting on the huge couch in the middle of the room. It was a nice room with a huge plazma screen TV on the wall.

"Sure, what movie are you in the mood to watch?" Shane asked going over to his huge collection of movies.

"Um, I don't know." I said then I had a thought, "Hey Shane do you think Nate could watch the movie with us?" I asked going out on a limb. "He must be lonely up in his room all alone."

"Well, um...um...um...um...um...sure. But you have to go tell him." Shane told me. After he said that I ran up to Nate's room, but i stopped when I heard Nate playing the guitar and singing.

(a/n: The song is To Be With You by David Archuletta)

I've been alone so many nights now,
And I've been waitin' for the stars to fall.
I keep holdin' out for what I don't know
To be with you, just to be with you.

So here I am staring at the moon tonight,
Wondering how you look in this light.
Maybe you're somewhere thinkin' about me too.
To be with you, there's nothing I wouldn't do.

And I can't imagine two worlds spinnin' apart
Come together eventually..

And when we finally meet, I'll know it's right.
I'll be at the end of my restless road.
But this journey, it was worth the fight.
To be with you, just to be...

Holding you for the very first time, never letting go.
What I wouldn't give to feel that way...
Ooohh...

Oh, to be with you...

Oh, and I can't imagine two worlds spinnin' apart
Come together eventually.

And when you're standin' here in front of me,
That's when I know that God does exist.
'Cause He will have answered every single prayer.
To be with you, just to be with you, yeah.
You....

After I heard him finish the song I waited a few minutes before I started knocking on his door.

"Come in!" I heard him say as he tried to hide his guitar.

I walked into his room and walked over to him. "So, I was wondering do you want to come downstairs and watch a movie with Shane and I. You must be lonely up here. I mean what exactly do you have to do in here." I said looking around his room mostly looking for his guitar.

"I have a ton of things to do in here. I have my um... well I can always um... I could always um... Okay so I am really bored in here." Nate said trying to think of things he could actually do in a very lonely room.

"You could always play this." I told him pulling out his guitar.

"That's not mine." Nate said trying to lie to me.

"Oh yeah, Shane doesn't play and Jason was the only one that could play." I told him. I knew he was lieing mostly because I saw him earlier but I'm not going to tell him that.

"Fine, I play. I'm not that good." Nate told me with a sigh.

"I'm sure your really good why don't you play me a few chords." I told him handing him the guitar.

"Fine, this is actually a song I'm starting to work on, I only have a few chords wrote with the music and everything." Nate told me starting to play a few chords and he actually started to sing too.

Can't stop, Won't stop.
I must be dreaming.
Can't stop, Won't stop.
I must be dreaming.

"Aww that was really good. I can't wait for you to finish the whole song and let me hear it all." I told him while getting off his bed where I was sitting listening to him play. "Now lets get downstairs so we can watch a movie."

"Okay, I'm coming." Nate told me putting his guitar down and followed me downstairs.

Please review and tell me what you liked about this story. I can't believe I'm already up to Chapter 10 of a story. I have never gotten to chapter 10 without having writers block.
