While working at the video store, my mind wouldn’t steer clear from Alex. Was it the wish I made? Was he the extordinary thing that I needed? Allot of sighs left my mouth, and my co-worker must have noticed. She really doesn’t like me.
“What the hell are you ‘loveeee’ sighing about? Get over it. He probably doesn’t like you.”
I rolled my eyes. “Fuck you May. I just met him last night. I don’t really even know him, I’m just glad there is some nice people around here. Unlike you.” I sneered. With May, you have to be mean, or she’ll push you to the edge. My comment shut her up though.
Work ran by super slow. May left early because, I’m not joking you, she fucks our boss. He made an offer for me, but ew. No way. He was a 30 year old disgusting man. May does it for less hours with more money. One last costumer came in, grabbing my favorite movie of the shelf. He was attractive, not as cute as Alex though. He looked new around here.
“4.56, enjoy your movie.” I smiled, earning a smile back.
“Uhm, I’m new from around here. I’m Jack and I live in the apartments on(Insert address here). What’s your name?”
“Leah. Oh my god, I live there to! I’m off like right now, you wanna walk with me?” He smiles, nodding his head.

I waved bye to Jack as we parted ways. Now to confront Alex, and see what he’s done all day.
Walking into the door, Alex was watching t.v. on the floor, lying with Nava. It seriously was the cutest sight.
“I’m home! I stopped with a friend for Chinese and brought some for you.” I gave him the bag, and he smiled. “Thanks. I appreciate it allot!”
I decided he owed me an explanation over why his parents kicked him out.
“Hey Alex.” He looked at me while eating. “Why did your parents kick you out anyway?”
He laughed. “Well. I have a band, and were not known. So I usually have practice there and they get pissed because it’s so loud. Yesterday they decided they had enough of me being in the house at my age. So I just walked out the doors. Oh, I got my stuff by the way. Luckily they weren’t home.”
I giggled, shaking my head. “What’s your bands name?”
“All Time Low.” He finished his food, throwing it away.
“Oh cool. What kind of music do you play?”
He stood back up, licking his lips. “If you like Nivana, Greenday, Yellowcard, and Blink 182, you’ll love us.” He smiled. Just his luck.
“My favorite bands. I’d like to hear you guys play sometime.” I jumped up happily.
“Totally. Were having a practice at Jack’s house today. He’s been in town for only a couple months, and lives in these apartment buildi-” “OH MY GOD I JUST MET HIM TODAY.” Alex jumped from my outburst. “Holy shit that was loud!” He laughed.
“No but, he came by the video store and got my favorite movie. So we talked, and that’s the guy who went to get Chinese with me.” I grinned. Such a small world.

*Alex*

When I showed up at Leah’s doorstep, the first thing to mind was that she was gorgeous. And she looked like an extremely friendly person. But even so, I didn’t expect her to let me in her house without a fight. She’d really cool. And I barley know her yet, so she must be awesome when you do get to know her.
Well for my home situation, my band was apparently too loud. What do you expect?
It’s music. Live music. I rolled my eyes thinking about it. I couldn’t wait for Leah to get home. I’d really like to get to know her. I pat Nava on the head, and she barked. Leah’s dog was freaking awesome.
I switched on a space show, just as I heard the door open. “I’m home! I stopped with a friend for Chinese and brought some for you.” She said, giving me the bag.
“Thanks, I appreciate it allot!”
Her face turned into one of thinking.
“Hey Alex.”
“Yea?” I replied.
“Why did your parents kick you out?”
I laughed, shaking my head. “Well. I have a band, and were not known. So I usually have practice there and they get pissed because it’s so loud. Yesterday they decided they had enough of me being in the house at my age. So I just walked out the doors. Oh, I got my stuff by the way. Luckily they weren’t home.”
We talked about music for awhile, and she said she’d met Jack before. So I’d take her to band rehearsals. The more I talked to her though, the more gorgeous she got.
We got onto the topic of bullying, and she was heavily bullied in highschool. Not alot of people liked her. Which I thought was weird because this chick was awesome!
I looked at her clock and stood up, grabbing my guitar I retrieved from my parents house earlier today. “Time to go.” She smiled a beautiful smile, skipping out the door. I could definitely see this becoming an amazing friendship. Maybe even something more.
But after Lisa and all the stuff that happened there, I don’t know how easy it’ll be to fall in love again.
