Alexander POV

Aaron and I were talking together and hugging each other. He became more demonstrative with his emotions. He smiles at me more sincerely.

I was going to put my lips on hers until he put his finger in front of my mouth.

"Alex, I'm sick," Aaron says. I sulk. I ask him a question that I only think.

"Are we going out today?" I ask. He nods. I smile.

Aaron holds my hand. We will buy flowers. I show him nothing, but I wonder. Why he bought flowers?

We are going near a cemetery. I don't like this place. I hold Aaron's hand harder.

He stands in front of a grave and places the flowers he has bought.

"That's why I go out every day," He says, smiling at me. I feel bad. I bothered him for that.

I look at the name on the grave.

Sally Burr

"It's...your sister," I say. He nods. I remember at the library. He told me that he lost someone to whom he is holding. And this person is his sister.

"I'm sorry to have bothered you," I say shyly.

"It's nothing. I like you to be with me, "he said with a smile. I smiled back.

"I don't like the graveyard," I say.

"Neither do I. I'm glad you had the courage to go with me, " He says, putting a hand around me. I'm blushing.

We enter our dormitory.

Aaron and I hugged each other until we went to bed.
