got up and washed my face, feeling a little better. I went to the kitchen and Grandpa was in the kitchen helping mom. "What are we making?" I asked. "Pot roast, veggies, salad, and Grandpa is making his famous cheesecake for dessert." Mom said. "Wow, that sounds pretty good!' I said, grabbing the potato peeler to help my mom peel some veggitables. "It's too bad your boyfriend can't make it. I wonder if he got that flu that's been going around." Grandpa said. I looked at Mom and she smiled. "Oh, I'm sure he will be fine." I said trying not to laugh. We finished making dinner and we all sat down to eat. It was nice this time and nobody argued. We just talked and told stories. We mostly listened to Grandpa talk about his childhood. "Well, I have to go. I'll be back in a little bit." I said taking my last bite. "Okay, sweetie." Mom said. "Goodnight." Dad said. I grabbed my purse and headed out. I called Tristin to tell her what was going on. "Are you serious? What a flake!" She said. "Yeah, tell me about it. I guess I'll see whats going on." I said. "Hey, if you want to head over for a drink or something, swing on bye. You know my parents always have plenty of alcohol, and they love to share!" She said, and I laughed. "Well, I'm close to Alex's. I'll call you later." I said, and we hung up. I walked to his door, and hesitated before I knocked. Cailin answered the door. "You have got to be kidding me." She said sounding annoyed. I tried so hard not to start crying. Chris walked over to the door. "He's in his room." He said. "Thanks." I said forcing out a smile. I walked over to his door. "Alex." I said, probably too quietly. "He might be taking a nap or something." Chris said walking over to me. He opened the door. Alex was sitting at his computer sleeping with his head on his desk. Chris laughed. "Wake his ass up." He said. I walked into his room and Chris left closing the door. "Alex." I said tapping him on the shoulder. He lifted his head up quickly. "Oh hey." He said. "Shit. I wanted to get this paperwork done. I guess I will have to work on it tomorrow." "Do you want me to come back?" I asked. "No." He said, "I mean I am too tired to do it apparently." He laughed. I just smiled. "Come here." He said holding his arms out. I gave him a hug. He held me tight. "So. . ." He said letting go of me. "Do you think we can make this work?" "Yes. I do." I said. He just nodded and picked up his pencil. He started tapping it on his desk. "We can take things as slow as you'd like." I said. "I think that is what's freaking me out the most." He said, "I'm not ready to meet your parents. I'm sorry. Maybe you're not ready to meet mine either. I didn't look at it from both sides." "I don't mind meeting your family." I said smiling. "I'm sorry I freaked out at your parents house. I should have told you right away that I didn't think I could do it yet." He said. "It's okay." I said. "Are we going to the movie or what?!" Cailin shouted from the living room. "Take Chris!" He shouted. "Fuck you! I came over to hang out with you, not your annoying roomate!" Cailin shouted. Alex rolled his eyes. "She drives me crazy sometimes. She's cool untill I start seeing someone." Alex said. "Is she jealous?" I asked. "I hope not." He said, shuddering. I laughed, and sat down on Alex's lap. I can go if you had plans." I told him. "No, it's okay." He said. Just then the door opened and Cailin walked in. "Are you kidding me?" She asked, looking at us. "No. We can hang out another time." Alex told her. She just rolled her eyes, and left. Chris walked in to the room. "She is such a bitch sometimes." He said, shutting Alex's door behind him.
