Alicia

She rushed downstairs barely organised because she slept in and as she greeted the kitchen she could feel a huge elephant in the room between her mother and father. She took this as probably from their argument last night and she tried to suppress the need to roll her eyes. She didn't know why they couldn't just sort things out, for her and Owens sake. "Morning darling" her mother kissed her cheek. "Morning mom" she beamed towards her father "Morning daddy!" she hugged him tightly and felt him squeeze her extra tight. "Morning sweetheart"

"Is it alright if I take your car to school today please? The window wipers on mine aren't working and it's pouring outside" she explained

"And how do you suppose your father gets to work today Alicia?" her mother asked and she rolled her eyes

"Why can't you and dad go on the same car? It would certainly save gas" she compromised under the failure of her mother's laugh.

Her father cut in before Veronica could reply "Okay, but only this once. Make sure we get those window wipers working this weekend"

"Thank you dad, I love you" she kissed his cheek and noted from the corner of her eye her mother shaking her head in frustration.

As she arrived in the school car park she parked in her usual spot and felt all eyes on her as she jumped out of her father's Mazda, her face suddenly went red, she wasn't one to peg for attention after all she hated being stared at but in the last six months she came used to it with dating the popular Peter Florrick who turned out to be an asshole.

"Alicia" she heard someone call her name and turned to face Liz and her beaming irritable smile. She felt anger build from inside her veins and she curled her fist and felt her breathing increase just in time for someone else to interrupt. "Hey therreee" she heard the all too familiar voice and turned to face Will's nervous and hesitant facial expression. He clearly didn't want her to cause a scene. She smiled hesitantly at him while throwing him a sweet smile before turning her face to meet Liz eyeing Will head to toe and then smirking at Alicia. "Hi Will" Liz waved her fingers in flirtation and slow motion and Alicia tried to suppress the urge to roll her eyes. She took a step closer towards Liz and breathed deeply before speaking.

"Okay, Elizabeth, Let's get things straight here, we go to the same school and share some of the same classes but that's it. We're not friends anymore and never will be, I can't believe you have the decency to even come up to me" the smile on her former best friends face fell and filled with a mix of confusion and hurt.

"Wha? What are you talking about?"

"Peter!" she saw a form of realisation fall in the other girls features and Alicia nodded

"I knew he was screwing someone when I was with him, I just never assumed that it would be my own best friend!" she stated and felt her voice breaking. She felt a hand on her shoulder which she knew it was Will's but her eyes remained locked with her former best friends whose eyes were welling up with tears.

"Alicia" her voice broke "We… I... I didn't mean to hurt you, it was never personal, honestly Leesh, we…."

"How long!?" Alicia interrupted "How long have you two been together?"

"We were NEVER together Leesh, we were just sleeping together…"

"Oh and that makes it better?!" Alicia shot back with tears full in her eyes "How long Liz? I deserve to be told the truth" she said this time softer containing the yelling. Liz swallowed tightly and blinked a few of the tears.

"Two months…. The first time was a big mistake honest. Every time we did it we were drunk and it was only three times"

"Only?" Alicia said in disbelief "And have you ONLY made out with him a few times in the staff room or does that not count?" she mocked and realisation once again formed in Liz's features as she grasped the fact that Alicia probably saw them yesterday morning.

"No… yesterday was the first time we actually kissed, really Alicia, you have to believe me. My friendship with you is much more important that ANY guy"

"You were my best friend!" Alicia shot back in anger and felt tears roll down in her cheeks. "Leesh come on, lets go" Will whispered but she shook her head.

"You were my best friend and for TWO months you knew and you didn't say a word. You and that scumbag were sneaking behind my back and I didn't even see it coming. It had to take Peter to get me drunk off vodka and then position myself in sniffing Cocaine to realise how much of an idiot I was for staying with him." Liz's eyes widened in horror as Alicia mentioned Peter feeding her vodka and then her sniffing Cocaine, it was all falling downhill. "And all the while you knew how much of a fool I was but you didn't say anything and instead went and slept with him, I thought I could trust you but clearly I'm not a good judge of character"

"Alicia… You can trust me! You know me better than I know myself and you know I'm telling the truth when I say it didn't mean anything, I told Peter I didn't want anything to do with him and that's the truth. We're over" she stated sternly and Alicia shook her head defeated.

"I don't care anymore" she replied and glanced to the side, suddenly grateful that they were in good distance from any prying ears.

"I just don't care" she closed her eyes and breathed in deeply before opening and taking in the mixture of hurt, sadness and determination in her former best friends features.

"It's over Liz" she was about to object but Alicia quietly stopped her. "You can't expect me to trust let alone be friends with you after what you've just done. I know you say it's not personal but I can't help but feel that way. I'm sorry but…. Yea, let's just ignore each other from now on okay?" she started to walk away but slowly turned around to face her former best friend who looked slightly dumfounded. "Oh yeah, and if you see Peter, tell him to go fuck himself, the prick" and with that she walked hastily towards the front entrance clutching her books to her chest with Will following her.

Will

"Are you alright?" Will asked her once again as the period of their class was nearly over. She had barely said a word the whole hour or the class before that and he knew it had something to do with the fact that Liz was in both classes. Before she could reply Matt quietly interrupted behind them. "Hey Will, are you coming?" Will glanced at the clock and noted it was 20 minute recess and gazed back up at his best mate.

"No thanks, I think I'll just hang with Alicia, I'll see you guys after school at training" with a quick good bye he watched the boys walk out leaving Will and Alicia alone in the class room amongst the teacher. He turned to face her and she was smirking as she began to pack her belongings.

"You didn't have to do that you know" she grinned and he raised an eyebrow. "You could have went with the boys, I'm fine on my own" she said and he couldn't help but suffer a laugh.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Because you're hopeless" he chuckled "I'm not leaving you alone so that you can go to the library or sit on the bleachers by yourself"

"I don't like pity Will" she warned and he shook his head trying to supress the need to roll his eyes

"I'm not pitying you Alicia, I like hanging out with you okay? So can you just shut up and let me stay with you?" he tried his hardest not to laugh as she glared at him until he noticed her sweet smile form and his heart eased.

"Okay" she smiled as she strapped her hand bag and as they walked out into the corridor she locked her arm in with his and he felt his stomach do flip flops. He couldn't help but notice how tired she looked and as she yawned tiredly as they sat under the shelter from the heavy rain he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and she tensed slightly before leaning in and closing her eyes. The scent of her hair was pure and strong which smelt like strawberries, he just wonders what her lips taste like.

"You look tired" he noticed and she sighed

"Yeah, I didn't sleep much last night. My parents were arguing for most of the night and I had to sleep with a pillow pressed against my ears" he felt his heart wrench in sorrow for her. He'd only ever heard his parents argue a couple of times a month and they were usually arguments about stupid things.

"I don't ever want to end up like them when I'm an adult" she commented and he squeezed her extra tight.

"You won't" he assured

"You sound certain?" she gazed up to face him and fluttered her eyelashes. He was absolutely mesmerised and if he weren't inebriated from their touch he was sure she wanted him to kiss her. He nodded as he looked into her eyes "I am" he replied and as his eyes fell on her lips he was about to lean forward until they were abruptly interrupted from the teachers coming around the corner. Bad timing.

"You kids better get to class, the bell's going to ring soon" the older woman explained and he heard Alicia sigh before standing up and gesturing her hand out to his in which he takes it gratefully and stands up not wanting to let go from her soft touch. She breaks their touch to retrieve her bag and he does the same except the disappointment is clear in his features. "What time is baseball training?" she asked

"Straight after school, why?"

"Mind if I come watch?" he formed a sly grin at her question and raised an eyebrow.

"Yea okay, are you considering joining? It would sure change the diversity of girls and boys in the group" he explained and she slapped him against the chest

"No Will, I'm not planning on joining and never will. I just want to watch what you guys do" she explained much to his amusement. "I'm going to sit on the side and do homework and remind you how much you suck at everything" she says and once he glares at her she burst into laughter. He tickles her waist from behind and chuckles as she pushes him away. He's come to the knowledge that tickling is one of her many weaknesses. He's sure that scumbags like Peter Florrick don't deserve to know these little things that he relishes in knowing.

Alicia

She was currently laying on her stomach with a pencil in her hand while twirling it under her teeth. She couldn't believe Will's baseball coach was letting them practice in the rain and every now and then she'd glance to the side under the shelter and shake her head as she saw Will and his idiotic team members dripping wet from head to toe running around in the mud. She was grateful that she was wearing Will's hoddie that he offered her because it began to get cold and she considered maybe leaving but she promised Will she would drop him off once practice was to finish. She was still trying to wrap her head around what happened during recess, she could tell that he wanted to kiss her and if it weren't for that stupid teacher maybe her and Will would be somewhere else instead of her watching him run around in the rain, granted, she couldn't help but laugh as she watched him practice a home run and then fist pump as he made it to the finish line. She was extremely interested in how competitive he was –it fascinated her- Peter was competitive but not as much as Will and even though she hated comparing the two she couldn't help her thoughts travel there. But that didn't dismiss the fact that earlier on today she had the strong urge and desire to kiss him and now, as she watches him run a hand through his soaked hair she wants more than anything to have their lips connected. She can't believe her thoughts towards Will are already traveling there and she's only been separated from Peter for five days. She couldn't explain it verbally, Will was just one of those rare guys that only came across a girl's life every now and then and she knew that he needed to be valued.

She's brought back to reality as a product of her deep thinking from Will's voice informing her to come forward with his friends cheering behind him and his baseball coach grinning. "Leesh! It's your turn!" he says and she glares at him before shaking her head.

"No way!" she yells but notes him run towards her and she props herself up stepping back.

"Will! Are you crazy? It's pouring with rain and everyone is going to laugh at me!" she glared at him once again and looked at him in horror as he started to laugh and gestured his hand out to her.

"Come on Leesh, you can do this" he took off his baseball cap and threw it on her head before zipping his hoodie tight on her and covering the back of her head with the hood. "Come on Leesh, if you don't do it I'll pick you up myself and drag you out there"

"Will…" she glared at him and noted him pout somewhat falsely making her chuckle. "Fine! But if I fail Will, you owe me big time" she marched towards the middle of the field and could hear him chuckle as he followed her.

"You can do this Alicia, just remember what I taught you. Eye's on the ball and NO matter what, don't let go of the bat until you've hit the ball"

"You know it's pretty hard considering we are in the middle of a storm and I've only played a few times WILLIAM!" she shot back much to his amusement and could hear the cheering and amps coming from the rest of the players. She even heard one saying that she'd never be able to get a home run. She was amped to prove them all wrong.

"I'll be right behind you" she heard Will say but ignored him and instead inhaled deeply before grasping the bat and locking eyes with Matt who was pitching. Remember Alicia, this isn't an actual game, just practice, if you stuff up you'll have no other choice but to kiss him. You can't let him think you're a complete fool.

She grasped tightly onto the bat, spread her feet a few metres away from each other and nodded off towards Matt to pitch the ball. It was abrupt but the ball came flying and went straight passed her towards the catcher. "First strike" she heard the coach say and jumped on her tip toes while inhaling deeply.

"You can do this Leesh"

"Shut up Will" she mumbled and could hear giggles coming from the team players. She did exactly what Will said and followed his instructions. Keep your eyes on the ball. She bit her lip, grasped onto the bat and remained focused on nothing but the ball in which when Matt finally threw it with much anticipation she hit it hard and watched it fly against the field to the other side. Her jaw dropped and also the bat in her hands fell to the ground in shock as they watched it land on the other end. She could hear voices telling her to run and so without any hesitation she sprinted towards the main goals, with every firm speedy step she took she was grateful that she did athletics as a child because there was no way she could make it back to the finish line without having a heart attack. She ran past the guy who was also sprinting off towards the ball and all the while she kept her gaze on the boy and his hasty steps towards the other end. She smirked as she heard some of the guys screaming at the other guy to get the ball and couldn't help but laugh through her tired breath as she saw Will looking at her in amusement and shock. She didn't know how it happened or how she managed to get there but she hit the pavement just before Matt caught the ball and could hear her and Will's team cheering in glee. She stood up to take a look at his now muddy hoodie and her dirty clothes trying to somewhat tame the mud off her hands until she felt a pair of strong arms lift her into a hug and she chuckled into his shoulder whilst he lifted her feet off the ground. Her breathing was still heavy as she pulled away to look at his face and felt her feet reach the ground but kept her arms wrapped around his shoulders. It felt like a lifetime but even through the pouring rain and feet soaked in mud, in this moment she didn't want to be anywhere else than his arms and as her eyes fell on his lips that's when they both leaned forward into a soft kiss slowly turning passionate as she felt his hands cup her neck and weave through her hair.
