Frank opened his mouth to tell me when my phone went off.
I looked at the caller. Dad.
"Hello dad?" I said into the phone.
"Where are you?"
"I'm coming, sorry we lost track of time,"
"Hurry," we hung up and I looked at Frank.
"I'm so sorry Frank, but my dad is going to flip if I'm not home,"
"It's cool,"
"I'm sure whatever you did will be forgive," I said then kissed his cheek.
I pulled my bra and dress and slipped on my heels.
I hurried out the house, passing Finn and Carey.
I hurried into the house. "Dad?"
"Alexandra, where were you?"
"I was at the Johnson's house, Frank and I were talking and we lost track of time,"
"I'm just glad your okay,"
"Yeah, night, dad,"
"Good night, Alexandra," my dad said as I hurried up the stairs.
I changed out of my clothes and got in bed.
Finn was on my mind.
Why won't he just leave me alone.
*****
Today was Monday and Travis came and picked me up.
He walked me to my locker where Chris was waiting.
"What's up, beautiful and Travis?"
"Hey," I laughed.
Travis pushed Chris playfully as I opened my locker.
"So, want to hang out at my place? We can watch a Bugs Life,"
"Sounds awesome!" Chris and giving Travis a high five.
I laughed and closed my locker.
The three of us walked to my homeroom.

Ignoring Finn seemed harder today.
He seemed to be everywhere.
I couldn't get rid of him.
After lunch Oliver, Jason, Ryan, Gabe Devin, Britney, Hannah and Morgan came to my locker.
"What's up with you and Finn?" Devin asked.
"I don't know. He dumped me for that,"
"And your okay with this?" Ryan asked.
"No, but I'm over him,"
"No, your not," Hannah said.
"My head is,"
"You should make him jealous," Britney smirked.
"No thanks,"
"Come on," Oliver begged.
"Yeah, date me," Jason winked.
"Sure," I said sarcastically.
"Alex," they whined.
"I'll get over him. He's just a guy,"
"Who stole your heart," Morgan pointed out.
"And dumped you in front of everyone," Gabe added.
"And is now making love to your ex best friend," Devin said.
"It's whatever," I said walking away.

Th boys came over my house with a huge box of cookies and cream ice cream.
They know me too well.
We sat on the sofa and watched A Bugs Life then moved on to The Beauty and The Beast.
When the beast came on I smiled and said. "Look there's Carey,"
The guys laughed and we continued to watch.
My mom came home and insisted that the boys stay for dinner.
They were happy to stay and enjoy a home cooked meal.
My dad was working late so I didn't have to face the twenty questions.
My mom and the boys really seemed to hit it off.
She liked them. I could tell.
When they left they each gave me a kiss on the cheek and a hug.
"Love you guys," I called after them.
"Love you too," they called.
"Later," I closed the door and walked into the living room.
"I like them," my mom smiled.
"I know,"
"You should date Travis," she smiled.
I rolled my eyes. "I'm not over the ass across the street,"
"Alexandra!" my mom exclaimed.
"Sorry,"
"I know you're not over him yet,"
"Night,"
"Alexandra,"
"What?"
"Maybe you should talk to him,"
"About what? I have nothing to say to him," I stormed upstairs and slammed my door.
I saw Finn and Carey next door and a tear ran down my cheek.
I whipped it away quickly and closed the blinds.
I wasn't going to cry about it.
I'm over Finn.
I'm over Finn.
I told myself as I got ready for bed.
I'm over Finn.
I'm over Finn.
I'm...
"I'm not over you," I whispered as the tears rolled down my cheeks.
"Ah!" I screamed. "I hate this!" I said punching my bed.
I grabbed whatever I could and threw it against the wall.
"I hate this! I hate you, Finn! I hate loving you! I hate seeing you! I hate wanting to be with you! I hate kissing you! I hate making love with you! I hate everything!" I said screaming at the top of my lungs.
I ran out of my room and out of my house.
I ran into the dark lonely street and ran.
The tears were falling harder and my vision was burly.
I could hardly see where I was going.
I felt the rain falling and I didn't stop.
I heard someone call my name and run after me.
They caught up with me and hugged me tightly.
I cried and cried into there chest and held them tight.
"I hate him, I hate him so much,"
The person rubbed my back slowly in a circular motion.
I stopped crying and looked up at the person.
"Finn?" I whispered.
He smiled and lifted up my chin and kissed me.
I smiled and kissed Finn back.
"Alex, are you okay?" Frank asked.
I blinked a few times. "I think so,"
"I'm so sorry Alex, I brought this pain to you,"
"What?"
"Carey and I set Finn up. It was stupid and I'm so sorry,"
I pulled away from Frank. "How could you?"
"I'm so sorry,"
"No, you're not," I said running away.
I didn't stop running until I reached Travis house.
I rang the doorbell and wait.
Justin opened the door and looked at me.
"Come in,"
I walked in and Justin closed the door.
"Travis! Alex is here! Bring extra clothes!" he yelled.
"What?" Travis mumbled.
"What happened?" Justin asked.
"Mental breakdown,"
"Hot chocolate?" he asked.
"Yeah,"
Justin walked into the living room and Travis and their roommate walked down stairs.
"Hey," I smiled at Travis.
"Are you okay?" he asked rushing over to me.
"No,"
"What happen?"
"Mental break down, I ran all the way over here,"
"Here," he said handing me some clothes.
"Thanks," I walked upstairs and changed in the bathroom.
When I came back down stairs everyone was drinking hot chocolate.
"Alex, this is our roommate, Troy," Justin said handing me my mug of hot chocolate.
"Nice to meet you,"
"Like wise," he said.
"So, what's up?"
"I never cried when I broke up with Finn. I said I wasn't and that I didn't need him. But today I realized that I do. I never cried so hard in my life. Then Frank told me that Carey and him set Finn up. It's just to much,"
"I'm sorry," Travis said taking my hand.
"I'm sorry too, Travis,"
"Why are you sorry?"
"I should have stayed with you. I would have been happier,"
He smiled. "It's okay,"
We drank our hot chocolate and made small talk.
Once we were done, we went to bed.
Travis and I shared a bed and cuddled next to each other.
