Chapter 10

"What happened?" Justin asked.

"Nothing...Mason and I are cool now." Alex said.

"That's great!" Justin said relieved that there wouldn't be any more drama.

"Alex, Justin its dinner time." their mom said. "Harper, you should join us."

"No that's ok Mrs. Russo, I gotta run home now." Harper said.

"You sure? Well, okay bye honey!" she said.

"Ohk, bye Alex and Justin. I'll see you guys tomorrow." Harper said walking out.

Alex and Justin came and sat at the dinner table.

"Ohh...pizza!" Alex said.

"Yeah, I'm just so tired that we ordered pizza instead." her mom stretching out.

Everyone was sitting and ate their pizza deliciously.

"Well im done. I'm gonna go upstairs." Alex said.

"Yeah me too. I'm done." Justin said.

"Wait guys...this is weird. Why are you guys been getting along lately. I mean that's fine, I get more peace, but what's the deal?" their dad asked.

"Nothing...its just that we've grown up so." Alex said.

"Woah growing up. Sounds scary." their mom said.

Alex shook her head and laughed then went up, so did Justin.

Meanwhile downstairs, the door bell rung and Mrs. Russo opened the door. It was Mason.

"Oh hi Mason...Why are you back? Not that I don't want you here or anything, I'm just asking. If you're here for Alex, I think that you should leave...she probably doesn't want to see you." she said.

"Oh no , Alex and I are cool now, she doesn't really care about me since she's with Justin now. I'm just here because..." said Mason, but Mrs. Russo cut him off.

"What? What do you mean with Justin...they're always together." she said.

Mason sighed. "That's why they're a great couple. I hope he keeps her well." he said.

"What? Couple!?" Mrs. Russo asked. Then, Mr. Russo and Max went over to them to see what was going on.

"Yeah, they're dating..." Mason said with confusion.

"No they aren't dating. They're siblings, they don't date." Mr. Russo jumped in.

"Well, Alex and Justin made it official in school that they're dating. You didn't know?" Mason said.

"ALEX! JUSTIN! COME DOWN HERE!" their mom yelled loudly. Within seconds, they both came down together.

"Yeah?" they both said together. "JINX!"

Their mom crossed her arms.

"What is it that I hear that you guys are dating?" their mom asked.

"What? Dating..." Alex asked. Then she noticed Mason. "Mason! What are you doing here?" she asked. Then the truth dawned on Alex and Justin. They realized that their secret was out.

"Alex, Justin. Are you guys dating secretly?" Mr. Russo asked.

"No!" Justin said.

"What? But Alex you said that you were dating Justin!" Mason said with confusion.

"And you guys have been getting along well awfully..." their dad said.

All of them started bickering greatly. Alex couldn't take it anymore.

"SHUT UP!" Alex yelled.

"Excuse me young lady?" her mom asked.

"Mom! Dad! The truth is...Justin and I are dating, but it wasn't on purpose honestly, it was by accident...we just fell for each other..." Alex said.

When their parents heard that their eyes widened.

"ALEX RUSSO! JUSTIN RUSSO! Is this some sort of prank?!" their mom asked.

"...No...its true." Justin said looking at Alex.

Their mom and dad was in disbelief.

"I'd rather have Alex and Mason date each other now." Mr. Russo said.

"Alex. Justin. GO UP TO YOUR ROOMS. I'll talk to you guys later. Do not talk to each other, just go upstairs." their mom said. Then sadly, Alex and Justin obeyed, they went upstairs without a single sound.

"Mason. Thank you for telling us this." Mr. and Mrs. Russo said.

"Wait, its true that they're siblings, I hear?" Mason asked.

"Yeah they are." Mr. Russo said.

"I don't believe it." Mason said shaking his head. "Well, I'll get going now. I just needed you to give this to Alex. She forgot it at my house last time." Mason said.

"Ok. I'll give it to her." Mrs. Russo said.

"Thank you. Bye." Mason said leaving.

"Well, I'm going upstairs to talk to them." Mrs. Russo said.

"Ok." Mr. Russo replied.

Mrs. Russo walked upstairs still in disbelief and shock. She walked to Justin's room and opened the bedroom door.

"Justin, come over to Alex's room to talk." his mom said. Justin sighed.

"Ok." Justin said following his mom to Alex's room.

"Alex. We three need to talk." her mom said opening the door. Alex nodded. Their mom in a chair while Alex and Justin sat on the bed.

"So, you guys are dating...how'd it happen?" their mom said.

"Well, Mason and I broke up as you know, so I was heartbroken like crazy. So I asked Justin if he would help me by being my fake boyfriend to make Mason jealous...but then over the days we started to like each other, then we dated for real." Alex said. It was so difficult for her to let the words come out of her mouth. Her mom shook her head.

"I'm really ashamed of you guys." she said.

"I'm sorry, we should've told you." Justin said.

"Well, the only thing I can do is that you guys need to separate immediately!" their mom said. Then, suddenly Alex felt like she was going to barf. She covered her mouth with her hand then ran to the bathroom. Her mom followed, but Justin stayed in Alex's room. While in the bathroom, Alex was puking and gagging.
Her mom tried to help her. Then unfortunately, her mom looked over at Alex's trashcan. Her heart beated fast as she saw that it was a pregnancy test.

"ALEX!" her mom said. "What is this?"

Alex was cleaning her face up and she looked over. She gasped.

"Mom..." Alex said.

"Come with me." her mom said going back into Alex's room. They both sat down and Justin was there.

"Alex, Justin. Tell me what this is." their mom said holding up the pregnancy test.

"Umm." Justin said not knowing what to say exactly.

"Did you guys have...sex?" Mrs. Russo asked. Silence filled the air.

"Answer me!" their mom said.

"Yes. We did." Alex said. Alex started to cry. "But I'm not pregnant. I check. Its a negative." she said.

"Then tell me why did you just barf! We need to recheck ...come follow me." her mom said.

"Maybe it was the food, but I promise I'm not pregnant. I checked already." Alex said.

"Still. Follow me right now young lady." her mom said.

Later, the truth, the result was confirmed
