IN ANOTHER UNIVERSE...
Alejandro had only become friends with May, and they never got together.
Alec never got the courage to admit his feelings for the girl as he and Jeremiah weren't involved in the tsunami, having been at Alec's house when it happened. Alec never felt the fear of almost dying and didn't learn that life was short and anything could happen.
He never told May about his feelings, so May herself didn't admit her own, not believing Alec could like her as more than a friend. So they lived as only friends, oblivious to each other's feelings. The only ones noticing were their friends and families, who tried to encourage them, but it never worked.
May had moved on, not believing Alec could ever like her with a guy she met named Darius, who asked her out. Alec was disappointed but pretended to be happy for May as she was his friend, and he didn't want to hurt her feelings by hating her boyfriend. At first, Alec couldn't help but like Darius. The guy was cool and fit in with their friend group, but as time passed, Alec noticed weird things about Darius, especially when he was with May.
I WON'T LIE TO YOU I KNOW HE'S JUST NOT RIGHT FOR YOU AND YOU CAN TELL ME IF I'M OFF, BUT I SEE IT ON YOUR FACE WHEN YOU SAY HE'S THE ONE THAT YOU WANT
Alec noticed how sometimes Darius would undermine May with anything she said and try to control what May did. He noticed she barely hung out with their group if Darius wasn't invited. And when Darius was with them, he wouldn't allow her to do anything alone. If May had to interact with any guy outside of him, he would grow angry, not even liking her talking with Alec, Jeremiah, and JJ despite being just friends.
But Alec knew Darius knew of his crush on May, and guys can always tell when another guy likes their girl. Alec knew this was probably why he hated it when May talked to Alec, even when they were all together as a group. Alec noticed Darius would tense up when May looked or spoke with him, so Alec kept their interactions short not to anger Darius even more. Alec didn't want to give Darius any more reasons to be mad at May or himself.
He didn't know what lengths Darius would go to to get May to listen to him.
AND YOU'RE SPENDING ALL YOUR TIME IN THIS WRONG SITUATION AND ANYTIME YOU WANT IT TO STOP
Alec wished he could talk to May and warn her of everything he'd noticed, but he didn't want her to become angry. If Alec was wrong about what he thought, he could potentially lose his friendship with May, and he didn't want that.
