Alex looks up at him and she gives him a confused face, her eyes squinting slightly and her eyebrows furrowing

"Of course I love you Zach, you're my best
friend" Alex grins and wraps her arms around
his neck and his arms go around her waist.

They stare into each other's eyes and they
begin to dance around slowly, their feet and bodies moving in sinc. Anyone around them would think that the two of them were complete weirdos, but the two of them did weird shit like this all of the time.

"You're adorable and I can't believe you're
dancing with me right now" Zach smiles
softly but Alex was confused, and only becoming more and more confused as the seconds passed.

"Thanks Zachy. Why are you acting so
weird?" Alex grins softly and he looks away from her with rosy cheeks, "are you okay, you're really starting to worry me?"

"I wish we could stay like this forever" Zach
mumbles and she chuckles and buried her
head into his chest all that she was thinking
about was that the boy was either high or
drunk as fuck right now

"How much did you drink at bryces house"
Alex asked with a laugh, "you are usually the only sober one there."

"I love you" Zach says, "no scratch that. Alexandra I'm in love with you and I have been in love with you for basically my entire life. I know it's wrong and I've tried to stop, believe me. But I can't stop. Nothing can change my mind about how I feel about you."

Alex stops dancing and looked up with a
shocked look on her face and she slowly
pulled away from Zach

"Zach I..." Alex stutters out and doesn't know
what to say to him, "I'm sorry. I don't know what to say. I really wish that you didn't tell me that."

"You don't have to say anything alright. I'm
not mad. I know you don't think of me that
way I just couldn't keep my feelings to myself
anymore" Zach mumbles, "I just needed you to know how I feel about you."

"Zach I really am sorry. If..." she was contemplating on whether or not she should tell him the truth. She had to. "if I hadn't met
Monty and I just knew you it could have
worked, you should have told me this years ago, or I should have told you. but.. I.... It's too late now. I'm in love with monty" Alex chokes out softly, breaking his heart all over again

"So here is the million dollar question
that all of us have been asking this
whole time... why him?

Why would you choose him? Heck
even Zach or Justin would be better
than Montgomery.

So many boys adored you and yet you always chose him. Always.

I mean Jeff and Zach. Those boys..
they are completely in love with you
and everyone can see it.

Well I guess in Jeff's place we should say was.

I know you loved Jeff and you love
Zach. Your safety and happiness was always both of those boys highest priorities, it kinda made me jealous.

The little sparkle in their eyes when they saw you was bright enough to light up
America. I wish someone would look at me like that.

But you chose Montgomery De La Cruz. Why him? Alex, why him?"

"We should go it's getting late" Alex says
quietly, "I'm gonna go over to Jess's house to stay the night, Monty and I aren't on good terms and my dad should be home from work by now."

"They say heartbreak really fucks with you"
Zach says suddenly and Alex turned away
from him and sat back on the motorbike

"I believe that," Alex replies and nods her head softly, "I'm surprised I have any heart left to break after the amount of times it's been broken"

Alex's phone suddenly began to ring. She apologises softly before pulling her phone out of her pocket and reading the caller ID.

She looked at the screen and rolled her eyes when she saw Montgomery's name on the front. She declined the call but he called her back instantly, this happened a few times but he kept calling and she was beginning to get worried so she gave up with a small sigh and answered the phone, brining it up to her ear

"Baby?" Alex hears from the other side of the
phone and it was instantly obvious to her that
Montgomery was completely drunk off his ass

"Monty what's wrong are you okay, you better not be driving or doing something dangerous" Alex tells him quickly, the sound of concern in her voice made Monty's heart skip a few beats.

She still cared about him.

"I love you" he mumbles out and she closes
her eyes and tries to keep her tears at bay as she breathed shakily

"I don't have time for this. Hang up the phone monty and tell me that when you are sober" Alex replies quietly, her heart aching in her chest, desperate for his touch

"I'm not drunk baby. I love you" Monty
replies quickly and he stops suddenly as he can hear her nose sniffle, signifying that she was crying

"no no baby, don't cry I fucking hate it when you cry. I'm sorry." He begged her, his voice becoming more sadder and desperate

"Im not crying monty. Make sure you stay at
bryces tonight I don't want you driving"
Alex mumbles to him and Zach just watches her as his heart breaks, "and make sure you don't have anything else to drink. Just have some water and go to sleep."

Zach had just admitted everything to
her and now she was on the phone to monty
and worrying about him.

Did he mean nothing? Had his words to her meant nothing?

"Bye monty I gotta go" Alex says

"Who are you with?" Monty asked

"None of your business," she says and hangs up, not wanting to hear anything else, she had, had more than enough of him for the day

"I've been here through every break up you go
through, through all the highs and the lows
but you haven't ever considered me as
anything but a friend" Zach says angrily, throwing his arms around in frustration

"I never said that Zach" Alex replies angrily
and he looked at her in shock, "not once did I say that."

"You liked me more than a friend?" Zach
Whispers

"Of course I fucking did Zach, Jesus. I liked you from the moment I met you, and it didn't take long for me to like like you. I never thought that you felt that way for me, I was too scared to say something to you and you never said it to me," she exclaims, "I fucking loved you and I still do, but the difference between you and Monty is that I love you, but I'm in love with Monty."

"That's the same thing!" Zach tried to reason, "what is the difference?"

"Please Zach, I'm sorry. Okay I'm sorry," she begged him to stop, she didn't want to hear any more, "I can't do this right now okay, please don't make me choose. You don't understand... I don't even understand."
