"I'm sorry for the way my brothers acted this morning" Alex said as we walked to lunch, and I sighed shaking my head

"Stop apologizing for them, Alex. I know you don't want to have a fight with them or have to chose between us, but trust me whatever they do is not your fault, okay? If they want to pretend that they give a fuck that I'm alive then they should actually prove it and not just say 'glad you're doing better' they have a lot to learn. It's never okay to give them what they want when they say 'sorry' because saying sorry and being sorry are tow different things" I said looking down at him and he sighed

"I know but I just don't like being stuck in the middle of the you guys," he mumbled

"Then don't be, Alex. This is between your brothers and I and if they want to make me believe that they're sorry then they show in action and not words because to me words mean nothing unless actions are behind it," I told him cupping his face,"I don't want you to have to chose between us and I know you're stuck in the middle of that. I'd never make you chose between me and your siblings, Alex."

"I don't want to have to chose between you either but I also don't want to lose either of you" he murmured

"You'll never lose me Alex. Whatever you decide in the future, if you ever have to make a choice, I'll always be there for you. I'll always be your friend no matter what, okay?" I said and even if that hurt to say, I'll always be there for him even if it's just as a friend and not his boyfriend.

"Okay."

"Good, now lets go get lunch before the bell rings and we starve to death," I groaned pulling him along and he chuckled

"Stop being so dramatic,Riley" he stated and I grinned

"Why, Alex, are you calling me dramatic?" I asked with a fake gasp making him giggle and I smiled leaning down to peck him on the lips

"I could never" he teased making me roll my eyes

"Of course not" I hummed leading him to the line and grabbed us a tray before we piled it up with food. Once I paid for our meals, we searched for my friends and found them in corner near the backdoors that lead to the outside court but what surprised me, and from the looks of Alex shocked expression, him too, was that they were accompanied by the Gallagher siblings and their friends and they were laughing and talking amongst each other

"What in the "he began

"Actual hell?" I finished looking down at him and he was already looking at me

"Why are they sitting with the group?" He asked and I shrugged

"Beats me, come on let's go find out." I said and we made our way to the table, all eyes shifting to us when we arrived which was actually freaking as hell if you ask me

"What are you doing here?" Alex asked taking a seat next to Allie with me sliding in after him since that was only spot empty.

"We wanted to get to know your new friends, if that's okay with you that is," Andrew said with a smile and Alex narrowed his eyes at his brothers

"Who out you up it? Did one of the girls? One of the twins?" Alex asked looking over at the other two but they shook their heads

"No one out us up to anything, Alex" Casey said and Alex still didn't look convinced and to be honest neither did I and from the looks from our friends neither did they
