Ethan and Lexi lay in each others arms. "You know I should feel guilty and everything but I don't. That was …" he trailed off. "The best experience of my life. So I'm just lying here with you loving you so much. I still think we should have waited though. I mean we aren't even 16 yet!" he said sternly.

"It doesn't matter Eth. I love you and you love me. 15,16 or 46. Love is love and I love that you're my first. Makes me love you even more!"

He heard his mobile ringing. Jumped from the bed and pulled on his trousers. Pulled the phone out of the pocket. He looked at the screen. He winced and showed Lexi. The screen read Danny.

Oh no! she mouthed.

He picked up. "Hello Danny" this felt weird. Danny would kill him if he knew what they just did!

"Hey Ethan." Danny said. "Is Lexi there? I rang her phone but it's off."

"Yeah she's here." he said sheepishly.

"He wants you Lex!" Ethan said.

"But I'm…" she motioned to herself. What else can I do? He mouthed. She rolled her eyes.

"Hey Danny." she said after she took the phone.

"Your mum and Daniel are fine. Just thought I'd tell you."

"Oh thank God!" she breathed in relief.

"She'll be home tomorrow morning so I'm gonna stay here tonight. Nana is too. Will you and Ethan…Look I shouldn't be saying this but with Tristan being around will you bunk up with him tonight?" Danny asked.

"Um ok." she said voice shaking. The only rational thought in her head was Tristan here? And Ethan had been fighting?

"Look Lexi I'm trusting you. You both ok!"

"No worries Danny. Go back to mum. Give her and bump a kiss for me. Kiss for you too mwah." he chuckled and put the phone down.

She climbed from the bed not looking at Ethan. "Mum fell?" she asked. "Really?" she was irate.

"Lexi honey what's wrong?" he asked walking to her.

She pulled her t-shirt over her head. "Why didn't you tell me that Tristan had been around? Did you suddenly change your mind so he wouldn't want me anymore. Was this you getting in there first?"

"That's what you think? I slept with you coz he wanted too!" he glared at her. "How can even think that about me? Do you really think so little of me?"

"Well didn't you Eth? You lied to me! Why does everyone lie to me?" she said angrily. And stormed out of her bedroom into her own. Slammed the door. He sat on the bottom of his bed. What had happened here? One minute they were all lovey dovey and the next she storms from his room. Well she could come say sorry to him! How could she insult him like that. How could she think she meant so little to him?

(X)

Lexi walked into he room. Pulled her bedside cabinet so it blocked the door. Tears in her eyes. They weren't falling! She refused to cry over any boy! God she had given him a gift there and what did he do? He made her feel cheap and nasty! Why did he have to lie to her? He should have told her the truth. She hated that people felt the need to lie to her all the time! What she some fragile little doll that was gonna break if people actually told her what was going on? No Dammit she wasn't! she could handle the truth and anything else. She lay back on her bed and closed her eyes. She drifted until she heard something scratching at her window. She looked and saw it edging open. God Tristan was here! She had blocked her door. She grabbed a tin from her dresser. She then snuck over pulled back her net and sprayed. The person yelped as a spray of mousse came out of the tin.

"Dammit where's my hairspray!" she yelped. She turned and a person grabbed her arm. She swung around with her free arm. The person ducked before her arm connected.

"Dammit Lex it's me!" Ethan said.

She laughed nervously. It was either that or burst into tears!

He climbed into her window. As soon as she was in she hit him. "You idiot can you not use the door? Don't you realise who I thought that was? God I nearly died!" she looked at his face and then smiled softly. He was covered in mousse.

"You find this amusing?" he asked.

She shook her head, a big smirk on her face. He grabbed her hand then with his free hand wiped his face and then rubbed the mousse in her face. She squealed.

"Now we're the same!" he crowed. "I'm sorry I scared you. I wanted to talk to you but your door was blocked. I didn't want our last night before you to go into hospital to be us arguing."

She walked over to her dresser and pulled out her face wipes. "With aloe vera." she said and tossed a couple to him.

"Ooo my skin will be so silky soft!" he said in a girly voice. "No manky green face masks and cucumber though. I'm not that much of a woman!"

"I was under the impression you weren't a woman at all." she said and smiled. Then remembered he was angry at him. She crossed her arms. "Say what you came to say then you can leave." she said stiffly.

"Oh no Lexi don't be like this with me please!"

"I'll do what I want. I didn't lie to you!"

"Lexi, I have only told you one lie which I meant to tell you. The other ones I have told you are to keep you safe. I told you one that sex and love are synonymous to you. What I told you then was that it wasn't the same to me, but they are Lexi. I don't see what we did as just sex! I see it as god this is sooooo cheesy but I see it as making love coz I do love you. And Lexi Tristan hasn't been around, or I haven't seen him. I swear on my heart. Better still I'll swear on yours coz it means more to me than my own! I just told your dad it was Tristan, there are reasons for that, that I can't tell you right now. Later I'll tell him and you. This is for your own good. Please trust me, trust the man who loves you."

She saw the sincere look on his face and relented. "God we are fast workers. How much can one couple go through in one night!"

"How's your mum?" he asked.

"Both her and Daniel are fine. Dad asked me to stay in with you tonight. Obviously separate beds if possible."

"He'd be pissed if he knew what we just did you know. He's likely to murder me. I'd let him too!"

"I don't care. If he made me chose I'd chose you." she kissed him softly. "I'm not sorry it happened."

"Aw Lexi I wouldn't do that to you. I wouldn't allow you to lose your family over me!"

"You are my family Ethan." she pulled him to her bed and they snuggled up. "Why did you change your mind?" she asked softly.

"I didn't change my mind. I lost it. I lost my mind, control restraint. I only meant to give you this toe curling kiss but as soon as I inhaled your scent. Tasted you on my tongue. That was it I was gone. Your so potent! There was nothing else I could think of. I'm so disgusted I didn't wait with you. That I didn't make it special. You know flowers, candles soft music."

He had an idea.

"It was special Eth, coz it was me and you, together!"

They talked a little longer then Lexi went to the bathroom. He dived out of her bedroom window and picked some flowers from Caroline's handing baskets. She'd kill him but it would be well worth it! He climbed back through her window and realised she wasn't back yet. He sat crossed legged on her bed with his meagre but loving offering. She walked in and he jumped up and brandished the bouquet from behind his back.

"For my love!" he said seriously. She smiled at the flowers.

"Aw Ethan I love them, but Caroline will notice. She babies these flowers something rotten. They're like her babies. I heard her say once that if anyone touched them she'd declare war on the perpetrator!"

He took her in his arms. "We'll have to make sure she doesn't find out then!" he kissed her softly.

She pulled away. "You know before when we were…" she blushed. "Well I know we were in the throes of passion but did you, or shall I say we use anything."

He nodded. "No worries Lex, I remembered at the last second, and I mean last second. I seem to remember swearing and diving into my drawer. Good thing your dad gave me the birds and bees talk and then handed me some condoms. Seeing as I was nearly the legal age he couldn't stop me so he made sure I was prepared." he chuckled. "Although he said he was gonna order this kit off the net where you get…stuff to show kids how to put on a condom properly."

"Oh my god he didn't?"

Ethan nodded. "He told me as soon as it's here he's gonna sit both of us down and show us how to put on a condom properly."

Lexi's face was on of horror. "NO WAY! I refuse. He's my dad. He can't do that to me! It'll traumatise me. I can see myself in a therapists chair telling all these things my dad did to me!"

"Anyway I remembered. So don't worry."

"There was no chance of pregnancy anyway coz I've just came off my period."

"Still better safe then sorry. I sure don't wanna be a daddy at 16."

"Plus I start my chemo tomorrow so even if we hadn't used anything it wouldn't have mattered! They would have been irradiated."

When Lexi mentioned her illness it put Ethan on a downer. Lexi saw his face.

"Are you regretting.."

"I'm not regretting us coming together!" he sat down on the bed with her. "I'm regretting that I was so stupid and stubborn then we could have had more time together. I hate this is what brought us together, I hate that I can't beat this for you!" he then lay her down and brought her into his arms. "I do love you, you know Lex… Actually I more than love you Alexis. I adore you with everything inside me. I don't care what people say. How we're too young to know what love is. How all that is going on is hormones raging and how everything feels intense coz of our age. That is all crap! Love is never the same for 2 people! Who are they to dictate our feelings? They don't know that my heart stops when you smile at me. And the second before I kiss your feather soft lips I get this rush of adrenaline throughout my body how that same sexy cocky grin has enough voltage to shock me into a idiot coma and when I see it I forget my own name, then just about pass out. And your beauty, it's so blatant and in your face it's almost threatening."

She rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"No it's true. And so is this next things I say to you. That I look for reasons to be around you and I wonder what the next thing out of that smart sexy mouth is gonna be." he kissed her softly. "And that every time we're together. I fall hopelessly and even more in love with you!" he kissed her again.

At the declaration Lexi's heart tumbled. When he kissed her it tumbled more. God every time they were together she fell in love him more too. She kept the thought to herself though. She desperately wanted this to be a forever sort of thing but her forever could be shorter than his!

"No matter what Lexi, I'll always forget to forget you!" he murmured.

"I love you too, always. But one of us had to be an adult and get off the bed. And stop the kissing otherwise we might have a problem. Dad might have given you protection but he hasn't given me any! And I nominate you to be the adult coz this is my bed!" she said cheekily, grinned and pushed him off the bed. "I admit I have no willpower around you!"

"Yeah we'll sort you a bag for tomorrow huh?" he said.

She nodded and jumped up from the bed. "Then we will go to bed and I'll sleep in your arms. Although we'll set the alarm for 5. If dad finds me in your arms he's likely to have you joining me in hospital! As in he'll cut those arms off!"

Ethan grinned and they went in search of a bag.
