Author's Note: This story bases on the Stargazer challenge by killjoy. The main couple is A&I but there will be mild UC (but not too much).The story will contain some events of the second season but I decided to not imply FUTURE MAX because it wouldn't work with the plot for the story.

CHAPTER I: MEETING THE NEW GIRL
>>What the hell is she doing? I think, I just died and I went straight to hell. Why is she doing this? How can she flirt in front of me?<< These were just a few of the thoughts, which went through Alex Whitman’s mind. It had started with sitting in the Crashdown and ended with being empty.
It has been a few hours ago that Alex Whitman’s former girlfriend Isabel Evans has said that she didn’t want to be with him or any other guy. There was no way that Isabel wanted a relationship with anyone. But no, lucky Alex has been the witness for Isabel’s hypocrisy: a guy walked into the Crashdown, then he came to Alex’ and Isabel’s table then Isabel and the guy had started the play of flirting. He sat there and Isabel flirted as if she wasn’t aware of him.
After that, Alex has left the restaurant. He walked around with no certain direction. His goal was to get away.
Alex has never felt a pain like this before. At first, there was the tightening in his chest then the feeling that somebody gripped his heart out. Secondly, the ugly pain went to his guts and Alex can literally feel how his guts turn and twist and burn, all at once. Alex feels numb. It was the way, he felt.
There was nothing else. Nothing around Alex existed anymore.
It was just cruel that she had done it in front of him, that she had done it at all after that bloody speech Isabel has given him and would give him on and on and on and on…Every time he would approach her he would hear her words in his mind. Every time he wanted to be nice, she’d think he was hitting on her. Every time would be the same.
In the end, he would be the one who got hurt. In addition, no one was there to tell him that he was wrong.
For now, Alex feels numb.
His numbness became anger. An emotion he rarely felt. It got stronger and stronger and again Alex wondered why she had done it. It hurt too much to think or to feel anything else than anger. However, his anger just hid his broken heart. Alex was both angry and sad if that was possible. Until, he felt nothing.
*******************************************
It was already after sunset and it was still warm. It wasn’t usual that the nights were warm but tonight there was something special in the air. Alex didn’t realize anything he just kept walking. His steps weren’t the usual long strides. They were little steps and they looked as if he wore weights around his ankles. It was his shattered heart. Alex just walked.
Alex walked through the streets of Roswell without knowing where he should or could go. He just walked. He walked to get away. He walked to forget. He walked to feel. He wanted to walk until he would feel again. Anything, any emotion that told he would be alive. He didn’t care what emotion he needed to feel, he just wanted to feel anything.
There was a mild pain in his feet but that wasn’t what he wanted. He wanted something else that brought back to life. He still walked.
Alex didn’t realize his surroundings. It was his numbness, which didn’t let him feel any emotion.
Alex’ feet took him to the park. He kept walking until Alex ran into someone. In that moment, Alex noticed that he held someone in his arms. In that moment, Alex realized that it was night. It was now that Alex looked down to the girl in his arms and starred. He didn’t know what to say. Therefore, the only way he acted was to open and close his mouth but nothing came out. He did this motion six times until the girl said, “As much as I enjoy being in the arms of a cute guy, who I don’t know but it would be really better to give me my body back or I can just hurt you really, really bad. So tell me, what you prefer.”
“Your body.” Alex replied dumbfounded. Well, after the girl’s threat, it was the only answer he could think of. He wasn’t even sure if he was thinking. It was the feeling of her body against his own that caused him to stop thinking and focusing on the well- built body in his arms.
He could tell that she had a slim body by the feeling of her body pressed against his own; her shoulders were a little bit broader than usual girl shoulders but they fit her body structure; he could say that her height was a little bit more than 5’8” (she was taller than Isabel was). In addition, the girl had slender hands and fingers that were also long and slender and pressed against his chest.
He could recognize- without looking and only referring to her height- that she had very long and fine legs. After finishing keeping his mind busy with her body features, Alex released her slowly.
“Thanks for giving me my body back. Now it would be nice to know who you are. Therefore, I know how I should call you because I don’t think you would like it if I call you “The boy who wants my body”. Moreover, an other reason is that I like to know whom I’m speaking with. So… “
“Oh hmm… you’re welcome… for your body. I mean, well what I mean is I’m sorry for running into you and …and …me well me ohm….” stuttered Alex and didn’t really know how to act. He was mesmerized by her appearance. He felt that she had an attractive body but it was now that Alex could see after releasing the girl out of his arms: She’s damn hot.
“Jesus, just tell me your name. That is not hard. I tell you my name and then you tell me yours. Alright?”
Looking into her face, the first feature Alex recognized were her dark green eyes. They were hypnotizing. Next, her lips looked very appealing. They were red and juicy. They looked very kissable and then Alex noticed the girl had told him something. All he could do was nodding.
“Good, I’m Emily McMahon. I’m new in this town and you’re the first person I met. So now it would be nice to meet someone who could be considered normal in this alien fucked up town.” No reaction. “Gee, you’re hard to get to go along. Or is difficult for you to hear and understand me though you have those huge ears.” said Emily her voice rising a little bit. She was already a bit annoyed and frustrated by Alex’ unwillingness but she wore a little smile on her lips.
Another sexy feature Alex noticed next to her lips.
“HEY. They aren’t huge. They fit the size of my head.” Alex protested feeling insulted. It was now that the boy realized what he said and wished the earth would swallow him. It could not get more embarrassing. How could the words leave his mouth? How could he think of that crappy answer? FUCK was his only thought. He was blushing furiously because of his remark. He stared with wide eyes at the girl standing opposite him with arms crossed over her chest and a stern and intense look in her eyes but he could say that there was an amused twinkle in her beautiful eyes. There was something about her. He just couldn’t put his finger on it. Now wasn’t the moment to think of that as he remembered the girl’s pissed off look. It would be really better Alex would react to Emily’s words before she would bodily harm him. Forgetting that Alex embarrassed himself in front of her Alex answered with a bright smile but with a nervous voice
“My name is Alex Whitman. And again I want to say sorry for running into you and WELCOME TO ROSWELL, Capital of the alien craziness and the world’s biggest fucked up tourist trap.” The last part said in an exaggerated voice letting the nervousness vanish and being replaced by sarcasm.
“Hmm, yeah…Thanks. You see my joy knows no borders for being here.” The new girl also said in a sarcastic voice. She was surprised at the boy’s reply, which sounded exaggerated and hearing a hint of sadness and hurt covered by sarcasm. Emily didn’t think too much about it.
Alex had a little nervous smile on his lips and just kept starring on Emily. She was a beautiful girl. Long legs that seemed to be endless; then her upper body was also well-built but Alex tried not to look too long especially at her chest. After all, he was a gentleman and his parents and Liz and Maria taught him to be respectful towards women. He really tried now.
“Do you enjoy checking me out?”
Heat. Hearing her blurting out that question let the heat creep up from top to toe. His body burnt. Again, he wished the earth would swallow him but as usual when it came to girls and embarrassing himself in front of them, it wouldn’t happen.
“I..I..I …Well… wasn’t…You…What?” Man, how he wished to be invincible.
“I asked if you were enjoying checking me out especially my chest, you know.”
“What!? I wasn’t..” was Alex’ poorly reply, his head dropped down and fixing his eyes on the floor.
“Oh hell and how you were starring at my boobs, tits, breast ..Call them how you want but you were starring.” Emily confronted Alex who looked very uncomfortable and wore a pained expression letting his head slightly drop down. On the other hand, Emily wore a victorious smirk.
The day couldn’t get any shittier. But yes, it was possible. Right now, standing in Roswell’s city park and explaining to a girl who caught him starring at her chest why he did what he did. It was now that Alex found his voice again, which sounded like the voice of a little boy who just caught having his hand in the cookie jar.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to. Normally I do not act like that when I meet a beautiful and attractive girl…” and again the heat crept up. What was wrong? Sure, she was beautiful and attractive but he never would speak like that to a girl who he didn’t know at all.
“Thanks for the compliment. And stop blushing, you look like a siren in action.” Emily responded in a commanding tone. She watched Alex intensively.
She liked his face, his facial features. It shone warmth she never saw before. It reflected a certain security, which you looked for your whole life and would be happy to find it. She immediately liked Alex. His whole charisma fascinated her: it was warm, secure, friendly etc. Normally, Emily wasn’t into the MR. NICE GUY- type of boy. She liked the bad boys. Alex was different and she liked that. He was damn cute and attractive even for his lean and lanky body structure. Maybe, there was something special about this boy. Putting two fingers under Alex’ chin to lift it and to look into his eyes, which she found incredibly beautiful, Emily told him in a sexy voice and leaning a little forward so that their faces were just a few inches apart.
“Well, Alex Whitman I forgive you for checking me out but as much fun as this encounter was, I have to go. Maybe I see you soon again. Bye, cutie.” Before she walked away, Emily winked at him. Turning around she went the way back she came.
Alex stood. He just stood there as if he was glued to his spot. Her touch. Her tender touch electrified him in every part of his body. It made Alex alive. He felt alive again. He felt again after countless hours of numbness, emptiness. As Alex saw Emily walking away, he now realized what she was wearing: a very very short skirt, which hardly covered her behind but it gave a perfect look at her sexy long legs; in the dim streetlight, Alex noticed that next to her sexy legs, Emily had also a sexy back. She wore a halter-neck top, which gave a perfect view of her back. Then, he saw it: her tattoo. The girl was already a bit too far away but he could say that it looked like a crucifix but wasn’t really sure. It was placed between her shoulder blades. Definitely sexy. Maybe next time, he would get a closer view at her back.
Especially if she would put her hair in a ponytail like now. She had dark brown hair with a few bright cooper coloured highlights. It fit her perfectly.
Probably he would meet her at school or somewhere else in this small town. Alex was looking forward to a second encounter with the new girl.
With that thought, Alex started walking again. He was heading towards the Crashdown but as he arrived at the restaurant, he stopped abruptly. She was there. Isabel Evans. He saw her sitting in one of the booths with Tess and Michael. He couldn’t walk in and pretend that everything was alright.
After her play earlier, he decided to go home.
Seeing her again brought the uncomfortable feeling back as if his body was going to implode because of his pain, his anger and the hurt he felt every time he thought of the scene in the Crashdown. Right now, he wanted to go home and forget the day.
