It really hits her when she listens to music. Her mother always told her that the love songs will make sense, and she will have a person in mind when those mushy songs come on to the radio. It was January the fifth, and she was home alone, music blasting through the speakers Justin bought her for Christmas. It was that god awful song that all the girls sang obnoxiously in the hallways, hand in hand with their boyfriends.

Alex just shook it off. It was ridiculous, love songs. Love wasn't really like that.

Was it?
