Chapter Two - Alex's POV

I had to talk to her.
Jessie.
But what was I supposed to say? That I was drunk and I couldn't control myself? Yeah, that'll really get her back.
I really screwed up this time.
And there might be no way to fix it.
I closed my eyes and kicked my locker.
The girl I was in love with, still am, since eighth grade hates me. And just after I got her, I screwed up.
Is this a sign?
No, I told myself, it's just a test.
"Hey, Alex!" I heard a higher voice yell my name. I turned to see Ashlynn pushing through the crowds in the hallway to get to me. She handed me a light blue piece of paper with a smile. "Hey, party at my place on Friday. You comin'?"
Ashlynn was a pretty girl with long, brown hair and big green eyes. She was very short, and always a good friend of mine.
I shook my head. "I've got somethin' to fix, Ash. Sorry."
"You mean, Jessie? She's coming. Her and Ember."
I stared at her in disbelief. No way.
No way. No way. No way.
It was perfect. The plan blossomed in my head and I nodded at her. "Change of plans. You will defintely see me there."
Ashlynn grinned, "Great. 7 o'clock, and don't drink while you're there. That will only make it worse for you two."
I grinned at Ashlynn and ran off to find Josh.

"You are brilliant, dude." Josh punched the air with his fist, victoriously. "But, you should go up and talk to her now."
"Now?"
"Now." Josh confirmed.

Josh and I ran to the parking lot, searching for the black Acura that I knew far too well. I caught sight of it at the other end of the parking lot, and Jessie walking towards it. Her blonde hair was being blown back from the wind and I let out a deep breath. "I can't catch up. She's practically there already."
"Go! You have to try!"
So I took off running. And thank God that I played football, or I would have been out of breath by the time I reached her car.
"Jess, I have to talk to you." I put my hand on her shoulder and she turned to glare at me.
"Its about time." She hissed.
