In her room, Sidney was decompressing from all the stupid stress that game gave her. She was about to fall asleep when she heard a knock on her door. She got mad, knowing it was Nick. She got up and literally yells, running to her door.

- I don't want to talk to you!!! Just leave me al… She swam the door opened and her face became fully surprised.

- Alex…

He smiled softly and said:

- Hey… Mind if I come in?! She showed her room and he walk pass her into the room. She closed the door and turned to face him.

- Look J, I…

She didn't have time to finish her words. He had already put his arms around her and was hugging her ever so tight.

- I'm sorry Sid…

- I'm fine… Now…

- I swear to God I would have killed him if he weren’t one of my best friends. Sidney laughed and then a question popped into her mind.

- Alex, do you love me? ! He looked at her oddly and babbled something like:

- Well… uhm… I mean… uhm… I… I think so… Sidney laughed softly and he looked at her, wondering what she wanted to know.

- Let's try this again… Do you love me as a sister thing or more?! He thought about it for some and then looked at her, guilty.

- I don't wanna hurt you Sid… She put her hand in his and whispered:

- You won't. Just tell the truth…

AJ thought about it and looked at her. Sidney looked like a little girl, a little sister he always wanted to protect.

- I like you… I really, really do but… Not as a love thing… As a sister thing. I'm an only kid and.. I never had a sister but.. Growing-up in this band, having you around, it felt kinda like I had a kid sister or so and I've always wanted to protect you… I thought I had a crush because the feelings were so strong and so.. Bigger then a sister thing…but it's still is a protection thing… But I know your part of my family and will always be… Sidney smiled and came close to him.

-AJ… Don't feel bad. We've tried it and realized that it didn't work. I feel the same way as you do… You're like a big Bro to me.. A real brother..

AJ smiled and hugged here tight. When he looked at her again, he remembered something and whispered:

- That kiss… 2 days ago… It was to get back at Nick, wasn’t it?!

- Well… I don't regret kissing you; you’re a great kisser but… S

he looked at him and nodded. AJ put a hand on her shoulder.

- Sid, talk. You need too. She sighted.

- Well, it's not a happy ending story.. I tell you that. Remember that new years eve when Nick and I got really, really drunk?! AJ flashed a smile, as he recalled the memories.

- You guys were so out of there, we couldn't stop you from fooling around!!!!!

- Well, the fooling around never stopped. It went all the way to his room…

Alex realized what she said and everything fell into place. The " friend ", The fuckFriend, Nick…

- You mean… She lifted her hand up, signaling to him to stop his tracks.

- Don't get ahead of me… She walk to her bed, sat on it. He came to join her and she sighted before adding:

- When we arrived in his room…

As she began her story, the words, the images came flying true her mind, making her relive the whole night.

The door opened and Sidney fell to the floor, Nick laughing hysterically behind her. He helped her up and they walked to the bed, still laughing their heart out. Sidney fell on the bed, her arms over her head and Nick lay next to her. Their breath started to calm down and Nick said:

- I think we had too much… Sidney laughed softly.

- Ya think?!!

- I didn't know that " jus " could get me so drunk… It just tastes like a fucking Popsicle!!! Sidney burst out in laughter and he followed. It started to feel odd as they started at each other and Sidney decided to talk:

- Nick… I …

He put his fingers on her lips and " shush "her. He then caresses her lips and cheeks softly. Shiver went down her spine as she closed her eyes and opened them again to fall in his blue eyes. He whispered:

- I never realized how beautiful you were…

He brushed his hands softly against her cheek, leaned in and kissed her, passionately. Sidney felt this wave of emotion go true her back as she responded back to his kiss. It wasn’t her first from Nick, giving her one before to " Get it over with " the " First kiss " anomaly they both have. They were both 16 and young but Sidney never forgot about it. But now, as he wrapped his arms around her and caress her skin, she felt as if Heaven came true…

AJ couldn't believe what she had tolled him. He never, ever would of thought they had a thing together and it was so surprising. Sidney softly said:

-We had sex and when I woke up the next morning, I saw him next to me and I understood that I had done the biggest mistake of my life… Not that I regret doing it with him but I wanted my first time to be special and with someone I loved… You understand?!

Alex, seemingly calm, burst out:

- I'm gonna kill him…

Sidney smiled softly and said:

- J, don't say that. He's your friend and I'm as guilty as he is in this.

- He hurt you Sid, you love the guy like crazy and he hurt you!

- He doesn’t know…

- What do ya mean, " He doesn’t know “?!

- He doesn’t know I'm in love with him J…

- But you guys fucked for crying out loud!!! How can he not feel it?!

- We don't kiss… AJ looked at her oddly:

- What?!

- After that time.. He came back to me… and we ended up doing it again and again… But I never let him kiss me on the lips…The last time I kiss a guy was the worst…

- What happened? Sidney looked down and softly whispered:

- He said I was the " Worst kiss " he ever had…

AJ saw the sadness in her face and without even thinking. He leaned in and presses his lips against hers. Sidney, surprised at first, let him do it after sometimes. He pulls out and looks at her. She asks:

- Why did you do that?!

- To find out if that guy was right… Sidney turned red and AJ smiled.

- He's not…Your not a bad Kisser Sid, trust me. I got worst kisses then yours…

- Sorry but kissing you feels like kissing a brother…

- Well… kind of but your not related for real ya know… They both laughed softly.

- So, what are you gonna do about Nick… Sidney shrugged her shoulders.

- I don't know… AJ saw a tear fell down her cheek.

- Sid…

- I love him so much AJ… I can't get him out of my system; I can't do it… God! I must be so pathetic to you… He pulled her in his arms.

- You don't sound pathetic… You’re in love… You gotta tell him Sid… He's got the right to know the truth. He doesn’t know how you feel and he must think you’re just on the same level as him… I can't stand to see you cry or being hurt Sid. You gotta get out of that before it kills you… She looked at him. He smiles softly and wipes her tears off. -

Maybe you'll even get your happy ending after all… Sidney smiled softly at him and he pulled her close, hugging her tight, knowing that it would help to make the pain go away…
