Alex POV
".......They have all been returned to their masters. Alexander, are you alright?"
I get up and leave the room, tears streaming down my cheeks. She goes after me and gently steers me away from the door. "Love, why don't you try to write down what you're feeling?" I sniffle and hug her. She rubs my back, shushing me. "Shhhh. It's ok."
"I'll always be here, Lexi.." I gasp and stare in the direction of where I heard him. "Laurens." She shushes me again. "Please just go write, Alexander."
I shake my head. "I..I need to take a walk...I don't think I could form words right now....."
She rubs my back. "Alright. Take your time."
I leave the house, walking down the road. Tears slip down my cheeks.
I'm so sad that I don't pay attention to where I'm going, and suddenly, I realize I'm in a bar. The very place where we met. I stare at the table where we sat and took shots.
I turn around and leave, the tears coming back.
I don't know where to go. I feel so lost. I sink onto a bench, throughly confused.
"Alex....I'm here."
I reach for him. "John."
He smiles and runs away. I get up and laugh, running after him. He smiles and runs back, cupping my face in his hands. I smile, and then he disappears. I stand there, confused again. "Laurens?..." I look everywhere. I don't see him.
I drop my head and slowly shuffle back home. Words start swirling around in my head, and I speed up.
I space out, and when I'm back, I'm in front of the door. I shake my head and open it, closing it behind me. Eliza comes up, looking concerned. "Do you have your words now?" I nod. She smiles a little. "Alright. Now go write, Alexander."
I kiss her and go into my study.
