You tried following Alessio through the thick crowd of people but eventually lose him.

How the fuck does he just disappear he's like 10 feet tall? You wonder

You decide to just make your way back to his car. It was opposite the direction that he ran to so you had to head all the way across the house.

The music picks up again and people shake off what just happened but you couldn't. As you made you way across the house all you could think about was why?

Why would he beat Parker up for you? And my importantly why would he do all of this for you anyways???

You eventually find yourself at Alessio's car and you just wait. Still trying to figure out what he wants. You eventually give up the wait and worry technique and try calling him.

It's rings and rings and rings and rings but he did pick up!

"Hello" he says with a bored tone

"Alessio I'm waiting for you at your car" you sigh

"Just have Benjamin give you a ride home (y/n), I'm not in the mood." Alessio sniffs

"Alessio have you been crying?!" You heart breaks a little

"(Y/n) seriously call an Uber or something" Alessio says curtly before hanging up.

"Ha, if really knows me then he knows I'm not going to drop this until the problem is solved." You respond climbing onto the hood of his car and sitting.

You waited for another hour before Alessio showed up.

"I thought I told you to leave" Alessio sighs

"Well I don't listen" you say getting off the hood of his car. "We need to talk"

"I know" he says opening his car door. "Get in" he motions

You get in and buckle up and he pulls away from the party that was getting more chaotic by the minuet.

He silently drives for about 15 minuets before you couldn't take it.

"What was that?" You ask

"He disrespected you (y/n). I was just standing up for you" he says staring at the road.

"No, it was more than that and you know it. Alessio talk to me." You say turning and facing him.

"(Y/n) when we first met... I knew we were going to be close. We see each other everyday, we're the same age, and our characters are love interests" he says "but then we started hanging outside of work.....And things changed" he says glancing at you before his eyes return to the road.

"What do you mean things changed?" You asked

"Really?" Alessio looks at you like you're dumb

"You mean you're into me?" You laugh

"Why are you laughing?" Alessio asks irritation lacing his voice.

"Because if you were into me all you have to do is say something." You laugh

"You don't have to beat up my ex and do crazy favors. Which I do appreciate by the way." You say.

"Well it's hard to say something when your friend zone me?" He argues

"I did NOT" you press

"AT LeaSt I haVe a BrEak Up BesTie" he say quoting the conversation you had at the mall last night.

"That was a joke! Alessio Damn when did you get so serious!" You shout getting irritated.

"Because it hurts (y/n) and you of all people should know that!" He shouts back

The entire car falls into silence.

"I do.." you finally say "But at the same time you should know that I'm not ready for a relationship, I don't want press, or judgement from fans.... ESPECIALLY after my last realationship" you say silently.

"I'm not that douche and you know it" Alessio responds

"I know" you say. "But if we are really going to get serious no one can know."

"No one?" He repeats

"Friends and family and only on the need to know basis, and absolutely NO press." You explain.

"Okay" he responds

"And we have to take it slow." You say

"Okay" he reply's

"And we have to forget tonight" you say

"Consider it done. Any other rules my queen?" He jokes.

"Oh shut up" you laugh shoving his shoulder.

Alessio pulls into your driveway.

"So how do you want me to start this?" He asks.

"What?" You look at him confused

"Us" he replies pointing between the two of you. "A first date? A late night call?" He looks at you.

You unbuckle your seat belt and crack your door open.

"A text" you reply

"That's all? You just want me to text you?" He laughs

"Yep" you say getting out of the car.

"Okay" he says putting his hands up in defeat.

"Bye Sully" you smile.

"Bye Boo" he says as you shut the car door.

It was around 11:30pm so your parents were sleeping. You silently creep into you room and close the door. You grab a set of clothes and get In the shower.

You been in the shower for almost an hour and a half. You spent almost the entire time getting lost in your thoughts.

"Why would Alessio like me? We have only known each other for like a week! He beat a kid up for me, he agreed to pretend to be my boyfriend, hell he even grinded with me! All because he likes me? More importantly why am I falling for him? I've spent almost a year building a wall when it comes to guys and within a week he's came in and knocked half of it down." You sigh to yourself.

You shut the shower off and get out.

You hastily change your clothes and brush your hair sleep calling your name. You brush your teeth and make your way over to your bed.

As you flop down your phone jabs you in the ass. You pull it out from under you and check your notifications.

You got a text I little less than an hour ago from Alessio.

Alessio: hey😘

You smile and type out a reply

You: hey🥰

Alessio: took you long enough😂

You: I was in the shower😂

Alessio: Oh😂 I was nervous the kissy emoji was to much

You: What? Never😕

You yawn and your eyes start involuntarily close.
