    tab tab "I have no reason to live..." He whispered in between sobs, piercing the knife through his wrist.
    "Alex! Stop!" He didn't even look up at me. I tried to snatch the knife but my hand went right through as if I were a ghost in some ******** up ghost movie...
    "A-Alex..." I tried tohold his cheek but my hand just went through him- just as it had with the knife. Alex sighed. He lifted the blade, took in one long deep breath and stabbed himself in the heart.
    "ALEX!!!!" I screamed as my eyes burst open and I pushed my body up.
    "Z-Zoë...?" I looked beside and saw Alex starring up at me with his big brown eyes.
    "O-oh I-I wasn't having one of those... I was just... And..." He rolled his eyes and pressed his first finger to my lips and shooked his head.
    "I thought we've talked about lying to each other." My eyes looked left-to-right and I look down.
    "I-I'm not..." Alex sighed and gently cupped my face in his hands, gently stroking my cheeks with the sides of his thumbs, while he had on my favorite smile of his.
    "You're a horrible liar Zoë" My cheeks turned bright red as my eyes met his.
    "Am I really that bad?" He laughed and nodded his head.
    "Worst liar ever." I giggled.
    "I'll learn."
    "And I'll still be able to tell." I rolled my eye, still keeping the smile on my face.
    "We'll see about that."
    tab tab He laid back down and pulling me on top of him. He wasn't going to let me get away with this dream... I was had to scream his name didn't I?

    "Zoë, wake up... We're gonna be late..." I rolled over, turning my back to him.
    "Shh... The monsters don't like to be awaken..." I laughed and shook her slightly.
    " Zo, come on. I know you're not a monster." Her eyes slowly fluttered opened and she smiled.
    "Thank you."
    "You're welcome baby, but you're not skipping school again."
    "Oh come on!" She poked my chest putting on a frown. I smiled at her.
    "Okay, fine, but..." One of her blond eyebrows arched up.
    "But?"
    "No shopping..."
    "Alex!!!"
    "That's the deal. Take it or leave it."
    tab tab She argued with me for about 2 minutes before I got her to stop complaining and get dressed. Which was not easy...
    "Alex." I looked up and smiled at her.
    "Ready?"
    "Yeah. But um... how do we get past my mum.. and her new boyfriend..."
    "You said they were drinking last night right?"
    "yes b-"
    "Then we'll have no problem getting out your house."
    tab tab I guess having your girlfriend's mother be an alcoholic isn't supposed to be enjoyable... But it was. What other mom would give you a bloody mary when you've had a bad day or devil's poison for passing a test? Even if you find the taste of it repulsive...
    "Al? Zo?" We froze. Not even breathing as we looked over at Zoë's mother, who was stepping into Z's room... Zoë took in a deep breath and smiled at her mom.
    "Hey mum. Sleep well?"
    "Actually no... But when did you get here Al?" I looked at Z from the corner of my eye, trying not to make it so obvious that I was looking at her as she gave me the don't-lie-today look...
    "Around 2am... When you and Henry were...
    "In the bedroom."Zoë finished.
    "Oh well um... I hope you guys didn't do anything last night..."
    "Well we did go to sleep, but if that's a bad thing I'll remember not to do that anymore." With a sigh Ms. Cox left the room and returned back to her room.
