Alex was back in school. Everyone knew it and could see it. From the tiny crowd that would be around him asking him if he was okay. No one visited when he was unconscious, but after he woke up his room was filled with a lot of cards and flowers. All football themed. Wasn't that sweet?
He was back to being the good boyfriend everyone thought he was. His expected place was joined at Matthew's hip and his arm around his shoulder. Like that night hadn't even happened. They had both woken up at the same time. Maybe she had been expecting more the day after. Not like it was her first time. Her expectations had been lower then. She just expected the two of them to have something deeper since they had that bond. That understanding.
