Chapter 15: The Final Chapter.
Nate
I woke up at about 11 or 12. I had fallen asleep about ten minutes after Alex did. She had snuggled up a close to me as possible. I'm guessing in her sleep she had moved her legs because he left leg was on top of my left leg. She was laying on her stomach while I was on my back. I didn't really mind. I mean I had fallen for her about two months ago. This really is a dream come true. I mean I wrote songs about her and now she is laying right beside me. She is so beautiful. It sucks that I have to wake her up but I'm pretty sure that her parents are worrying about her.

"Alex," I whispered shaking her lightly. "Alex, wake up." I said shaking her again. "Alex, Alex, you need to wake up."

"Five more minutes Nate, I'm really tired. Plus your really comfy." Alex said snuggling into me even more.

"Alex you really need to get up it like midnight." I told her looking over at my digital clock that in red letter read 12:29. "Alex, please get up." I told her.

"Just hand me my cell phone. My mom will let me spend the night here. She has before." Alex told me still laying on my chest.

"You'll have to let me get up first. Plus I was going to change into what I normally sleep in." I told her moving her over a little bit.

"Oh, okay. Can I borrow a t-shirt and some shorts to sleep in. I don't feel like sleeping in my shirt and blouse." Alex told me getting off of my bed. "You might also want to tell your aunt that I'm staying over. I know she won't really care. She thinks of me as a daughter."

"Okay." I said. "Here's your cell phone." I said tossing her cell phone to her before walking out of the room and over to my aunt and uncles room. Since my uncle was out of town my aunt was in their all alone watching reruns of old lifetime movies. I knocked on her door softly.

"Come in." I heard her say. I walked in and shut the door softly. "Oh, Nate. I haven't seen you all day. Have you been in your room all day?"

"Yeah, me and Alex came over earlier and we watched a movie and then fell asleep." I told her.

"Oh, Alex is here. Why wasn't she with Shane?" my aunt asked not knowing about Shane and Alex breaking up.

"Well, Shane has been cheating on Alex for a while now. So she was kinda depressed so she came over hear and she watched the notebook and fell asleep." I told her while standing by the door.

"Oh, that's so terrible. Well Alex can stay here for tonight and then in the morning she can have breakfast and then she can either stay here or you can take her home." my aunt said.

"Okay, I'll go tell Alex. Night Aunt Denise." I said before walking out of her room and down the hall towards my own.

I walked in my room where Alex was on the phone with her mom. After about five minutes of them talking she hung up and turned around to see me in the door way. "What did your mom say?" I asked walking over to one of my drawers.

"She said she didn't want me to have to be out this late so I can stay here." Alex said walking over to me. I handed her a t-shirt and a pair of basketball shorts. Then she walked out of the room and down the hall towards the bathroom.

I took advantage of her being in the bathroom to change into what I always sleep in just a pair of sweatpants. I got my notebook and since she would be in the bathroom for a while I started to work on one of my songs. Its for Alex to I have to keep it hidden.

I got to write about three more lines before Alex walked in. She had one of my t-shirts on and it looked so big on her. The shorts were also really big on her. She still looked cute. When she walked over she looked at me.

"Okay, so do you always sleep without a shirt on?" Alex asked just looking at me.

"Um, yeah." I said looking at her funny.

"That's cool." Alex said before getting on the bed and putting her head back on my chest.

"You really like sleeping on me don't you." I said laughing a little bit.

"Yes, I do." Alex said slowly closing her eyes. "You are way more comfy than Shane. He was all boney but you, your just so comfy. I don't know how to explain it. I wouldn't mind sleeping here every night." Alex told me falling asleep.

I put my arm around her and pulled her closer. She put her arm around me chest and slowly fell asleep. I pulled the blanket over us and slowly fell asleep.


Alex:
I woke up the next morning at about 10. I was still next to Nate who was still sleeping soundly. I was secure in his strong grip. Really I couldn't really move. He was so strong I couldn't move. I didn't really mind. I still had my arm across his chest and my head was still on his chest too. He had his head behind mine. I don't know why but I loved being like this. I felt so safe like nothing could ever hurt me with Nate around. I looked around his room and saw that his door was still open I didn't really mind but I really didn't want Shane to see us. We aren't doing anything but Shane is very jealous. Even though he cheated on me he would still get mad.

I closed my eyes and tried to fall back asleep but that didn't really work out. I didn't want to wake up Nate and I really couldn't get out of his grip. So what am I really suppost to do. I looked around his room and saw that his notebook was still on the nightstand and that it was close enough that I could reach it without waking Nate up. So I grabbed it and flipped the pages until I saw the page that had the DEDICATED TO ALEX at the top.

"There was a this girl in town. She had it all figured out. (Had it all figured out) And I'll state something rash. She had the most amazing....smile. I bet you didn't expect that. But she made me change my ways. (She made me change my ways) With eyes like sunsets baby. And legs that went on for days. I'm fallin' in love But it's fallin' apart. I need to find my way back to the start. If we were in love. Oh things would be better than they are. Let me into. Into your arms. Into your arms. She made her way through the school. I tried to talk to her. But she seemed so far. (She seems so far) Outta my league. I had to find a way to get her next to me. I'm fallin' in love But it's fallin' apart. I need to find my way back to the start. If we were in love. Oh things would be better than they are. Let me into. Into your arms. Into your arms. Oh she's slippin' away. I always freeze when I'm thinking of words to say. All the things she does. Make it seem like love. If it's just a game. (Just a game) Then I like the way that we play. I'm fallin' in love But it's fallin' apart. I need to find my way back to the start. I'm fallin' in love But it's fallin' apart. I need to find my way back to the start. If we were in love. Oh things would be better than they are. Let me into. Into your arms. Into your arms. Into your arms. Into your arms." I read out loud. I closed the book and reached over Nate to put the notebook up but then I felt a hand on my arm. It was Nate.

"Did you like the song?" Nate asked taking the notebook from me.

"I loved it. Mostly because I'm too falling in love." I said looking into his eyes.

"With who?" Nate asked already knowing who it was.

"You." I said leaning in and kissing him on the lips. I felt him kiss back and then I pulled away with a huge smile on my face. "We should really go downstairs. Your aunt is probably wondering why we aren't up yet." I said finally getting out of Nate's grip.

"Okay. But first, could I have the honor of you being my girlfriend? " Nate asked me.

"Yes I would love to." I said before kissing him and pulling him up off the bed.

He walked over to his closet and was looking for a shirt to put on.

"You know you don't have to put a shirt on. Its your house." I said walking out of his room and down the stairs towards the kitchen with Nate right behind me. "Hi, Mrs. Gray." I said as I walked into the kitchen and saw Mrs. Gray sitting down and drinking her coffee.

"Alex, sweetie. How are you?" Mrs. Gray said getting up and giving me a hug. "Nate told me about what happened."

"Well I'm getting over it with Nate's help." I said smiling at Nate. "Thank you for letting me spend the night here." I told her.

"It was no problem sweetie you are welcome here anytime you want." Mrs. Gray said as she went back to drinking her coffee. "You can make whatever you want. You know where everything is."

"Okay, Mrs. Gray." I said as I walked over to Nate. "Will you fix me some pancakes? I don't really feel like burning down your house with my cooking skills." I told Nate and he laughed at me and started to fix the pancakes.

After a while we both ate and laughed at each other until Shane came downstairs. He glared at me when he saw me and then he went over to the fridge and got out some milk, bacon, and eggs. He never said a word to me. When Nate and I were finished eating we went back upstairs to get away from Shane.

"Nate, I have to go change out of your clothes so I'll be back in a little bit. I'll put my skirt and blouse back on and then we can go to my house and do stuff there." I told Nate as I grabbed my stuff and walked out of his room and towards the bathroom. Unfortunately I got stopped by a very unhappy Shane.

"Why the hell are you here?" Shane said in a very rude tone.

"Nate wanted me here. I wouldn't come here because of you. After what you did to me." I said trying to get away from him.

"So whose clothes are you wearing? I never though you would have an Elvis Costello's t-shirt, and I know you don't own basketball shorts." Shane said in a very cold tone.

"Their Nate's so what. You used to let me borrow clothes when I stayed the night. Only when I would stay with you, you made me sleep on your cot. While Nate actually let me sleep in the bed. He was actually there for me. He actually cared. While all you did was cheat on me for half of our relationship. I'm through with you. I don't care what you do with Mitchie just stay the hell away from me and whoever I choose to date next. Okay." I said walking back into Nate's room. "Hey Nate, can I change in here. I don't feel like going into the bathroom where Shane could walk in on me changing." I told him.

"Okay, just change in here and I'll wait outside the door and you just open the door when you are ready." Nate said as he walked out.

I got changed as quickly as I could and I also put my make-up on as quickly as I could. I open up the door and Nate and I walked down the stairs. We told his aunt bye and we went out to his car and he drove me to my house. When we got there I told my home about everything that happened and then Nate and I went up to my room. I told him to just wait in my room while I changed and then he could help me do something. I changed into a t-shirt and some jean shorts.

"Okay so Nate you see how there are like a billion pictures of Shane and I in here?" I said to Nate.

"Um, yeah. How many are in here." Nate asked as he looked around the room. I had pictures everywhere in my room. I am pretty sure I had close to a thousand pictures of Shane and I together.

"Um, I'm pretty sure there is close to a thousand pictures of Shane and I. I need your help shredding them. My father has one of those machines that shreds paper and we can use that to shred them. It will be fun seeing Shane's face shredded." I told him as I started out of the room. "While I'm gone could you take the pictures off the wall and put them in a huge pile for me?"

"Sure." Nate said as he started taking all the pictures off the wall.

When I got back from getting the shredding machine Nate had like half of the pictures on my wall off the wall. So we decided that we were going to spend the whole day shredding pictures of Shane and I together. We actually had fun. It was a great start to the rest of a wonderful relationship with the greatest guy in the world. Nate Gray. At first I thought that Shane was the greatest guy in the world but now I know better than that. The greatest guy is the guy that I am dating now. Who knew that your Mr. Perfect could be your ex-boyfriends cousin.
