Chapter One

Morning After

Everybody woke up before Julie. Julie never really had a hangover before. She'd never really gotten sporaticly drunk before. But she wasn't suffering from memory loss. She knew that Tim Riggins, the most unlikely canidate, had saved her. It was almost eleven when the coach came into her room and said, "Hey, Lois is here to study."

"Lois?" Right, she'd invited over her best friend, who she thinks might have a crush on Tim. "Yeah, got it."

"I'm gunna put Tim in charge of Gracie untill mom gets home."

"Yep." Julie nodded. Could her dad speak any louder?

"I'm going to get dressed now."

"Alright."

When Julie quickly got dressed and when she emerged she found Tim holding the baby and Lois flirting with him, in the really obvious way of hers. "Yeah that last play was so amazing..."

Tim obviously felt awkward, but didn't really think Lois watched football. When he saw Julie he smiled, "Hey Jules." Lois looked at Tim when he said "Jules" like she was jelous.

"Hey Tim, so Lois... did you bring your notebook?" Julie asked Lois, ignoring Tim for a minute.

"Yeah..."

"Why don't we study in my room."

Lois shruggingly agreed, Tim staying and watching TV with Gracie in his arms. Once they got to Julie's room Julie had to comment, "Lois, you're embaressing yourself." I mean, it's not like Tim couldn't tell when a girl was flirting with him. Esspessialy a younger more naive girl like Lois.

"I can't help it..." Lois paused, "does he have a girlfriend." Julie looked really pissed off. Why did Lois have to have a crush on one of their houseguests? Esspessialy one she was starting to see as a brother figure... why couldn't she have had a crush on Buddy Garrity? Julie just responded, "Really, it's none of my bussiness."

They studied for awhile, and when Mrs. Coach came back less then an hour later she smiled at Tim and said, "Thank you!" and she was thankful. She picked up Gracie in one swoop and then the baby spit up on her. Tami went to her room to get some stuff to clean herself off. "Thanks again, Tim," everybody was surprised how good Tim was with babies.

"I think we're done studying now." Julie said, not that she was prepared for midterms, she was just extremly hung over. Lois agreed, and while walking out of Julie's room said, "Wanna come over and watch Zoolander tonight? It's playing on NBC." and at that Tim's head perked up, "Zoolander? I love that movie."

Lois smiled, "You can come too... if you want to."

"Yeah, see you then..." Julie said, shooing Lois out and then grabbing two more advil.

"You'd think you'd never had a hangover before"

Julie sent him a look, "So now you're coming to Lois'? She likes you, you know."

"Yeah I heard her ask you if I had a girlfriend."

Why Lyla Garrity?

Lyla Garrity wasn't the type of girl you'd imagine for Tim Riggins. She took pride in being perfect, and she'd recently stumbled apon some sort of position in the church. But Tim couldn't get his mind off of how perfect she was. But was he perfect for him? He might have been "the best he's ever had" but she'd dumped him. Some people might say, "Good things always come to an end," but he was wondering if she actually was a good thing. She was prim, and bossy and well... a bitch.

Yet she was the best he'd ever had. He couldn't deny the way he felt about her. He was in his car. He looked at the clock radio, and turned up the volume. He knew Lyla would be on... some Christian Radio Show. And then there was Lyla talking about some light shining... and fallowing her heart... and being yourself and then he was at a conveince store, buying flowers. "A girl." he told the inquisitive clerk and then he was there walking down the hall and there she was.

Kissing another girl. Just as well, he was suppoused to go to Julie's friend's house with her. Lois. The one that stuck out her chest at him. He flopped the flowers down on a random surface. Would she even see them? Would she even know they were from him?

Stupid Lyla. Stupid Tim. Stupid Lois. Wait? Why was Lois even on his mind?

Pick-Up

Julie was waiting by the door when he got back, "Hey where were you?" she asked, with her sweater and her hair pulled up and a 50 dollar bill. He deflected the question with a, "You're paying me for my driving services?"

"My mom said we could get takeout." Julie half smiled, this was an odd friendship, but she really liked this whole built-in big brother thing. For the first while she didn't. But now... he was the perfect brother. Protecting her against Riley, and then her dad, and before that the tornado. And he knew what to say and when to leave when Matt arrived with his new nurse-maid girlfriend. Tim of course suggested the Alamo Freeze, and Julie rolled her eyes and agreed. "But you go in, I don't wanna talk to Matt.

Saracen, Tim thought. Wasn't it Julie's fault? Why did they even break up? If Matt had even brought it up Tim hadn't been listening. But he doubted he had. And so Tim was the one who went in, and Saracen was in there. "Hey." he said, but Saracen was looking through the window and Julie longingly. "Over here," Tim said when his Hey hadn't registered with Saracen.

"Right, hey Tim. Can I take your order?"

"Can I get six alamo burgers and two liters of Pepsi."

"Six?"

"Yes."

"Wow." Tim rolled his eyes on the inside, he almost wanted to say something he'd regret.

In fifteen minutes he was back in the truck with Jules, and he could feel Matt's eyes on them, and he looked and saw Julie almost tearing up. After a moment of silence he uncomfortably said, "You ok."

"Yeah." she smiled and looked over at him, "Everybody's wrong about you."

"No they're not."

So everybody thinks your this really nice guy?! Maybe I'm just kidding myself

Zoolander

Tim loved this movie, and it was the first time he'd seen it completely sober. "We should have a gasoline fight some time, Jules." Tim said, and then Lois looked suggestively at Julie, thinking Tim didn't notice. But he did, and smiled to himself. And then the flame was lit and Zoolander's friends were blown up. Tim was in the middle of the coach, a glass of the 2L of pepsi he'd bought from Saracen. Julie was on one side, sitting Indian style, and Lois was on the other, gazing at Tim's ear.

"They were like brothers to me... and when I say brother I don't mean actual brothers, but the way black people say it. Which I think is alot more meaningfull."

"That's what I think about you, Tim." Julie laughed.

Author's Note

Thanks so much for reading this much of "Anyone Else But You" I would really appreciate feedback/suggestions so reviews are love. Forewarning: This fiction will eventually have a Tim and Julie relationship. But untill then, it'll be a friendship. And Lois will increasingly like Tim. I thought it was funny when she honked and waved. -Lily
