Chapter 9

Alex and Justin leaned in about to kiss but suddenly Harper opened the door.

"What's happening in here?" Harper said.

Justin jumped and stood up.

"Harper." Alex said sitting up. "Nothing...we were just watching a movie." Alex said.

"Movie? Together? And you guys are watching The Notebook. Alex, you hate romance movies. What's happening?" Harper asked.

"Nothing!" Alex said.

"Alex Russo, tell me the truth. I swear I saw you guys leaning in. Tell me or we aren't friends anymore." Harper said.

"What? Harper how...how did you get in here anyway? Phff..." Alex said.

"ALEX!" Harper yelled.

"...Harper, the truth is that...Alex and I are dating." Justin said.

"Justin!" Alex said. She couldn't believe that he told her.

"What? Dating...?" Harper said. She was confused. "But you guys are brothers and sisters. Siblings don't date!"

"Harper...please,please don't tell my parents. They'll kill us." Alex cried.

Harper was still in shock. She was freaking out.

"Harper, I like Justin more than Mason. That's how much I really care and if you tell...I'd be terrified." Alex said.

"Wow...Mason...you must be really crushing!" Harper said.

"So promise you won't tell?" Alex said.

"But this so weird. You are dating the person that I like AND to make it even weirder, you're dating YOUR own brother!" Harper said.

"I'm sorry Harper! Please don't tell. I know it's hard to believe, but I'm begging you." Alex cried.

Harper sighed. "...fine..." Harper said. "But if you guys get caught, don't put me in it." Harper said.

"Promise! Thank you Harper." Alex hugged her.

"Thanks Harper." Justin said.

Harper smiled. "Ohh..no problem." she said. "Well, this is really...awkward."

"I know, but we're still besties, that's all that matters." Alex said.

"Yeah..." Harper said.

"Alex! Justin! We're home!" their parents yelled.

"What? I thought they were coming home at 4, it's only 3." Justin said.

"Hey guys! What's going on in here?" their mom asked when she walked in the room.

"Uhh...nothing, we were just finishing our movie." Alex said.

"Oh well why is Justin here?" she asked.

"Because I wanted to...watch too." Justin said.

"Oh...well Alex, Mason is here." her mom said.

"What? Why?" Alex asked.

"He wants to see you and that's all I know." she said.

Alex sighed. She was really done with Mason and didn't want to see him, but something made her go.

"Fine. I'll be down." Alex said.

"What do we do?!" Justin said.

"Well, what do you mean?" Alex asked.

"What happens if Mason tells our parents that we're dating?" Justin said.

"Don't worry, he won't." Alex assured him.

"Fine. Whatever you say." Justin said.

"Do you want us to come with?" Harper said.

"Umm yeah sure." Alex said.

So, three of them headed downstairs where Mason was waiting.

"Mason?" Alex said.

Mason turned around seeing three of them.

"Alex."

"What?" Alex said.

"Can I talk to you alone outside?" he asked.

Alex looked at Harper, then at Justin.

"Yeah...lets go." she said.

They both went outside and sat on the porch.

"Alex, I don't know why, but why do you hate me?" Mason asked.

"Mason...you were my first love and you broke my heart..." Alex said.

"I'm sorry Alex, but it was my parents choice...and I never wanted to break up with you. I still love you...but you don't. Can we please start over? Why do you like Justin? You said that you loved me." Mason said.

"MASON! It's too late! I've already fallen for Justin. No, we can't start over. Even if we did, my dad won't allow you to be my boyfriend." Alex said.

"Alex..." Mason said.

"Mason, we can't go out, but we can still be good friends." Alex suggested.

"Is that my only choice?" Mason asked.

Alex nodded her head.

"Well...since I love you, I'll let you choose your decision, but if things doesn't work out between you guys, we should give it another try. Well, I guess we could be friends." Mason said.

"Thank you Mason." Alex smiled.

They stood up and hugged each other. Then Mason left. Alex went back inside where Harper and Justin was waiting.

"Everything fine?" Harper asked.

"Yeah." Alex smiled.

Authors Notes: So you guys requested some more Mason, so this was a quick scene of Mason. I will try to make him go in the story more! Thank you for the feedback! :)
