Alex POV

I looked over at Wendy as she was tucked under my arm, just watching TV. Who knew that my anger from my breakup and wanting to talk to someone would cause this perfect girl to be next to me. I would have to thank Zack later, also whomever begged him to put the phone on speaker. I looked over and saw Kara sitting acting kind of jittery.

"Weren't you guys supposed to go to the mall today for band merch," I asked.

"Oh shit, we were," Wendy muttered.

"Do you want me to go with, you know, just in case?"

"Sure, thanks Alex, I appreciate it."

I gave Zack a look and he gave me a slight smirk and he knew to prevent Jack from asking to join. I love Jack, don't get me wrong, he's like my brother but he doesn't understands things until they are explained. He's a child, but he's ours and we wouldn't have him any other way.

"We need to go, we have to organize some stuff over at Rian's," Zack spoke as he stood up.

"We do," Jack asked.

"Yes Jack, don't you remember? Rian asked us for help."

"Yeah Jack, yesterday before we went to sleep, remember," I added.

Rian merely grabbed Jack's upper arm and pulled him out of the house without saying another word. Zack waved at us before quickly following, probably explaining to Jack why. I saw Kara's eyes light up as she ran out of the room, I assumed to get something. I stared back at Wendy who hadn't really moved from her place under my arm. I was surprised she was staying. Maybe she was more willing to let me in now, I don't want to hurt her.

"Alex," she whispers softly.

"Yeah," I said to her.

"Never mind."

Kara came running down the stairs moments later so I couldn't ask her what she was about to say. I know I could ask her as many times as I want and she probably wouldn't tell me but I would always care enough about her to ask. Both Wendy and I got off the couch and I grabbed my keys. Kara squealed happily as she ran out to my car.

"Nope, back seat girly," Wendy called as she turned around from locking the door.

"But I got here first," Kara argued.

"And I was born first. Back seat."

"I sat in the driver's seat patiently as I heard the two of them bicker. Finally Wendy sat in the passenger seat next to me. She sent me a smile. Kara groaned as she slid into the back seat. I don't blame her, I wouldn't want to sit back there either. It was filthy.

We let the peacefulness of Blink 182 take over the drive instead of anyone trying to say anything. Sometimes it's better, and easier, to just let the music do the talking. I grabbed her hand while I drove, trying to keep it out of the sight of her sister. Wendy looked over to me and blushed before looking back out the window. She was so gorgeous.

We got to our destination moments later. I didn't want to give up her hand but I knew she would want to just in case of Nate. I sighed, hoping she wouldn't hear, if Nate wasn't here it would be so much easier. Without Nate there wouldn't be any of these problems. However I wouldn't take Wendy any other way. I just needed to find a way to make her mine. We all walked into the mall, Kara immediately running to Hot Topic. We followed her, laughing at her childish nature.

"Is she always like this," I laughed.

"No, she's calmer now," Wendy laughed

"Are you serious?"

"She's probably more hyper than Jack, if you could imagine that."

"I don't think that's possible."

We started laughing at this, watching Kara as she went through every single piece of band merch. Kara was a very interesting girl. I could tell than Wendy loved her. We were standing in one of the wings to the store where Wendy was just looking at the clothing there.

I watched her as she looked. I took in how her hair moved slowly as she walked. The way her face angled up to look at the things that were higher up than her height. I really wanted to kiss her again. I wanted to feel her soft lips again. I couldn't help myself, it wasn't a good idea but I'd blame it on being a hormonal teenage boy.

I wrapped my arm around her waist. I faced her for a moment before pressing my lips to her. For a moment she didn't kiss back. She put her hands on the back of my neck and returned the kiss. God, I wanted her. I needed to have her.

Notes

I'm sorry there was no update yesterday guys, I kept meaning to but every time I had a chance something happened completely eliminating that chance. This chapter isn't as long as I wanted it to be but I really like it cause it's kind of cute and stuff. Oh, I also only have tomorrow left of high school then I'm done forever. It's a very strange feeling.
