    He stopped the swing long enough for me to get on before he started up again. “I’m sorry. You did.


    something sweet and I didn’t react correctly. I do appreciate what you did for me.” Looping my arm


    around his, I justid my head on his shoulder.


    Still,


    Alec didn’t move or say anything. “Alec, please? I


    say anything. Sighing, I really am sorry he didn’t


    stopped the swing and got off. Leaning over, I gave him a k*ss on the cheek before turning to leave.


    Tears


    filled my eyes as Emmy and Jasper came out.


    “Kristen?”


    “You guys have fun. I’m going to go for a walk. Going down the steps, I just started walking. I could


    hear


    them.


    “What the f uck, Alec? Jasper asked.


    “Alec, you can’t be serious? She has already given so much of herself. More than she has ever given


    anyone and you are going to let this stop you from tonight?” Emmy started in.


    I deserved it. It was so hard for me to open up and here I am, ruining everything that was good in my


    life. I


    just walked. The sun was setting and most people were inside eating so I was alone.


    There was a little park was just inviting me. Sitting on one of the swings, I let the warm breeze push


    me. I guess I nned on moving out tomorrow anyway, just didn’t think it would be here. Footsteps


    slowly started approaching. My heart sank for the second time as it was Emmy, not Alec that came and


    found


    me.


    “Hey girl.” This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    “Well, I did it this time.” I gave her a sad smile as she sat down, Reaching out, she held my hand.


    “I get why it’s hard for you but he has been trying.”


    “I know. I have been too.”


    “No one sees that more than me.”


    “He doesn’t want to hear my apology.” I sighed.


    “He heard you, he just wasn’t ready to move on.”


    “On the brink


    bright side, this birthday won’t be any worse than thest ones.”


    “Give him time, he wille around.”


    “Before or after tomorrow?” I looked at her.


    “I think before.” Emmy gave me a smile before looking behind me..


    Following her eyes, Alec was walking up to me. Emmy got up and gave me a huge. “Thank you.” I


    whispered.


    “Just let him in. He loves you.” Her words echoed in my ears as she smiled and left. Alec sat down but


    didn’t say anything.


    I felt like a dam n child, waiting for my dad to start yelling at me again. “If you want to hear me say sorry


    again, I will.” I finally broke the silence.


    “Come here.” Alec pushed my arm with his finger tips. Standing up, I nervously walked up to him. Alec


    opened his legs and sat me down on hisp.


    Wrapping my arm around his neck, Iid my head on his shoulder. “I’m sorry.” I whispered again. “I just


    am


    afraid.”


    “Of what?”


    “How much power you have over me.”


    “Hmm.”


    “You have done nothing but show me kindness and how much you care about me. I know I haven’t


    given you want you want exactly but I’ve allowed you inside my heart. It may not seems like a lot to you


    but you are tearing down my walls. You have this power over me. Constantly on my mind. My b*dy


    aches for you.


    I’m sorry if I haven’t given you enough.”


    “Don’t


    that. It’s not that it’s not enough. It’s the fact you have little confidence in us being mates.”


    “That’s not true. I actually have a bet over us.”


    “What?”


    “I ran into Calvin at the pool. He was being himself so I made a bet. He owes me 100 pushups if we are


    mates.”


    “Seriously?”


    “Yup.”


    “Betting is against the rules,”


    “Want to sp ank me?”


    “Get off.” Alec yfully pushed me off him but he stood up and grabbed my hand.


    “Where are we going?”
