Also, the boy in the picture above is Alex Grey, thought this suited him well. Thanks for the support from Hotchocolaterush it means everything to me!***

*ALEX GREY POV*

     Amy holds tightly onto my waist as I start up my engine, I look back at her out of the corner of my eye and she is resting her head on my back, even with the dark tinted helmet I can tell she is blushing.

" Hang on tightly little red, since it's your first time on a motercyle I'll be easy on you. just gently tilt with me on the turns and we should be alright" I tell the wayward redhead.

    She nods her head quickly and I start -up my bike, before leaving the parking lot, I turn on my bikes music and out pops NSP's version of "everybody wants to rule the world".

"Welcome to your life, there's no turning back."

"Even while we sleep, we will find you, acting on your best behavior"

"Turn your back on mother nature"

"Everybody wants to rule the world"

        NSP sings, and I can hear Amy singing to the song. Most girls when they sing sound really obnoxious, but Amy's voice sounds sweet as honey and I decide to hum along with her.

"Its my own design, it's my own remorse, help me to decide!"

"Help me make the most of freedom and of pleasure!"

"Nothing ever lasts forever!" "Everybody wants to rule the world"

"There's a room where the light won't find you, holding hands while the walls come tumbling down, when they do I'll be right behind you!"

"so glad we've almost made it! So sad they've had to fade it! Everybody wants to rule the world!"

     We sing with NSP as we drive to her house, and I enjoy the warmth of her arms around my body. She probably thinks I'll offer any girl a ride on my black beauty, but truth is, she is the first person other than myself to ever ride the bike. What can I say? It's my baby.

"I can't stand this indecision, married with a lack of vision. Everybody wants to rule the world!"

"Say that you'll never never never never need it! One headline why believe it?"

"Everybody wants to rule the world!"

"All for Freedom and for pleasure, Nothing ever lasts forever!"

"Everybody wants to rule the world!"

     The guitar plays until the song fades and just as the next song is going to begin we pull into her driveway. I almost feel disappointed as she takes her arms away from my waist. She takes off the helmet and shakes out her auburn hair, she catches me staring and gives me a smile.

"I can see why you ride a motercycle, it's not nearly as fun as riding a horse, but gives you the same high!" She says with a laugh.

      I let out a deep chuckle "Glad you liked it, because tomorrow I'm taking you to school!" Many emotions cross her face before she pouts.

" Then I hope you like sleeping on my floor and waking up at 5 Am, cause if you're taking me to school, your taking me to the barn as well, I have work I need to do!"

       I groan "Seriously little red, three hours of sleep isn't good for anyone, I honestly don't even know how you are still standing!"

"Well I'm used to it, I can live off of three hours of sleep per night for about a month then I crash for a whole day and I'm ready to go again..." she said with a small smile

   I shake my head "I am not sleeping on the floor again, that hurt my back-"

"AMY GET YOUR BUTT IN HERE RIGHT NOW!" Yells a low male voice from inside the house

    Amy looks at the car next to my bike and squeals with excitement,

"Its my cousin, Alex!!!!!!" She says excitedly

"Funny I have the same name as him, but this still means I will be picking you up tomorrow" I grab her phone from her back pocket and she flinches at the touch, I smirk and chuckle. I unlock her phone and type my number into it and save it, taking a quick pic of myself for the identification and send myself a quick text so that I also have her number. As I hand her back her phone I can see a light blush has formed on her cheeks.

"T-Thanks" She says quietly. I laugh and flash her a genuine smile,

" No prob little red, I'll see you later tonight" I say and tap her on the nose.

          She looks like she's about to say something when her cousin yells at her again and she dashes back into the house, but glances back at me before running inside.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AMY POV*

                I took one last glance at the handsome boy that had just dropped me off before running inside to see my pissed cousin.

"Amy, why are you so late coming back, who was the bad boy with the bike, and why did I have to pay Nicole for over time?" Alex said in a dark tone.

        Alex, or Al as I would usually call him, was tall, 6 3' with buff arms from working out and many years of water polo.
       He had green eyes that all the girls love, and thick dark brown hair, so dark you could easily mistake it as black, and he was my best friend.
       I ran up to him and nearly knocked him over with a hug, aggression and questions forgotten, he returned the hug and gave a deep laugh.

"I missed you too Amy" He says as he pats me on the back before releasing me from the hug.

" Okay, so to answer your questions, I'm late coming back because the bad boy with the bike chased me to the barn, I hopped on dash bare back and got lost in a tall dark spooky forest for hours before dash got me back by instict, and then my car got towed so the bad boy gave me a ride home. The bad boy with the bike is our new neighbor and his name is Alex Grey, I don't think he is a bad boy, but I don't know for sure. You had to pay nicole for overtime because I got lost...." I told him quickly, but he somehow managed to understand me.

" I think you like this Alex Grey" Al said and his eyes lit up with excitement. Why? Well in all 16 and 1/2 years of my life, I have had almost zero interest in any guys, and if I did, they were guys that I couldn't have, Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins are good examples. I also loved the horses so much that I would spend every spare moment I could with them. I used to joke that the horses were my boyfriends, but Dash is my baby.

"I don't know yet, I've only known the guy for a day and a half" I told him.

"Well, if you two do get together, be sure to let me know and I'll give him the talk!" Al says in a cheesy tone and I groan.

"Alex!" I whine

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~hours~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AMY

     I sit in my room waiting for Alex to drop by, he will probably use the window to avoid my cousin.
           I walk over to my desk and take out my computer, I might as well start writing in my daily journal before Alex Grey comes in and decides he wants a peek.
               I type about my day and my mysterious next door neighbor, I talk about my feelings and how I'm not sure if I like him or not. I also write about my adventure with dash today and how proud I was of him.

      After typing for a while I decide to take a shower, I leave without shutting down my computer and forget that I left the window next to Alex's room open.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ALEX GREY

        After getting out of the shower I change into a well worn pair of basket ball shorts and decide against a shirt since it's hot tonight.
           I slowly go down the stairs while shooting a text to my friend Hayden, he wants to come over to play video games, but I have different plans tonight.

        I raid my fridge, and after feeling satisfied I head back up to my room and do my Night time check list.

      I brush teeth, hair, plug in phone, and relax. But tonight my schedule is different.
       After brushing my teeth and hair, I take my phone and charger and stick them in my large pockets. After checking that everything is set, I make sure Amy's window is open, which it is and gracefully swing in, landing so softly that even I couldn't hear my own entry.
      I quickly see that Amy isn't there but has carelessly left her laptop running, I go to shut it down, but the typing on the page catches my eye. She wrote about me... I know I shouldn't pry, but I can't stop myself.
        It seems that this is a journal she keeps and writes in every day. I read what she wrote about today. She isn't sure if she likes me or not, she feels insecure about going to school with me knowing about her outside school life, she doesn't like some guy named Adam, but is really glad Alex is here.

       After reading a little bit of what she wrote about, I shut down her laptop and find a outlet for my iPhone and plug it in. Then I take a couple of minutes to survey the room, I can hear music faintly playing in the room down the hallway and the sound of water running.

           Amy is singing to a song in a different language, possibly japanese and then I realize its a song from the popular anime show Attack on Titan that one of my friends is obsessed with.

"Sono yume wa kokoro no ibasho. Inochi yori koware yasuki mono"

"Nando demo sutete wa mitsuke yasuraka ni saa nemure"

"Myakuutsu shoudou ni negai wa okasare wasurete shimau hodo mata omoidasu yo"

        It sounded quite beautiful, and I listened quietly while looking at all the books she had in her room, there was a lot of Japanese books, and a ton of horse stuff.

     But what surprised me the most was the paranormal romances that lined her shelves. I saw poetry books and drawing books, when I had my fill of information I layed down on her comfy bed and waited for her to come in.

     I heard her start singing a different song as she turned off the water. This time the song was in english, and one that I had heard before, but would never expect Amy to know. It was a dark and creepy song, yet beautiful, it's called "little Game" and it's by Benny.

"Play us like pawns and relentlessly confine, into living up to gender roles and having absent minds."

    "don't you think it's funny how they tell us how to live? Don't you think it's funny how we are all delinquent kids?"

    "Like, hush now, don't say, don't say" she sang an octave higher than the recorded voice and again, I was amazed by how beautiful her voice was.

"Hush boy, oh hush boy, don't say a word. Throw on a jersey and no one gets hurt. "

    "Hush girl, oh hush girl, just bat your eyes. Play our little game, play our little game" she sang as she opened the door to her room.

    Her eyes immediately fell to me and she gasped and quickly threw a hand over her mouth, she then turned to her door and closed it quietly before quickly turning to me with a bewildered expression.

"How did you get in here and when?"
