Alexia's POV

"Well," I start, "When I was 13, ya know. I was still living at home, and was basically what my parents wanted me to be. I was your perfect, blonde, princess. I would sing, I would knit, and I was pretty much helpless. LIke I said, a perfect shitty princess."

I cut off for a second to take a drink of water from the flask next to me, and continue, "So, you obviously know that came to an end when I found you guys wandering in the woods and brought you supplies."

I remember the day I left. I snuck out in the middle of the night on my horse. I was young and afraid and alone. I wanted to be out of my family's clutches, but I was so scared and young, I considered going back.

Well, I did until I ran into two boys about my age near the edge of the woods. They seemed to be trying to move in on the castle. When I caught them, they both looked terrified, like I was going execute them or something. They seemed to relax a little after I took off my helmet.

I could have turned them in, but instead I made a deal with them, if I was able to get them food and supplies, they would let me come with them. I think they also suspected that having a princess in their little group could help them in the future.

They never asked why I wanted to escape.

I breathe and start once more, "Did you ever wonder why I wanted to leave?"

He looks confused for a minute, and says, "no.....not really?"

I grin slightly and think to myself, 'of course he wouldn't'. "Well," I say, "it was because my parents basically decided 'hey. You're 13! Time to get the suitors lined up! We'll have you married by 15'. It sucked. I felt even more like a helpless princess than ever, and I had never felt attraction to any of these princes."

Liam looks intrigued, and asks, "What happened?"

"Well, I was talking to one of the nicer ones once day. I could have easily been friends with him, but for reasons I will never understand, he felt the need to try to kiss me. In short, adrenaline took over, and I did basically the same thing I did to you, to him."

Liam winces and touched the hand shaped bruise on his face, "shit," he mutters.

"Ya," I say, and continue, "anyways, he started spreading the information that I was dangerous. Suitors slowly stopped showing up. My parents were angry, and decided that....well.....I don't really know what happened. They decided they hated me, and just....them and my sisters acted like I wasn't there. It was scary. Finally, I figured out, well, I am a aromantic. Have you ever heard of that?"

Liam mutters a "no"

I continue, "Well, I just have never and probably never will feel romantic attraction."

He nods, and turns to leave the tent, but I grab his arm pulling him back, "Wait I'm not done. Sit back down."

He looked at me and sighed, "why should I? You have nothing else to say that I want to hear" said Liam.

"I don't care if you want to hear it or not" I said to him and continue, "I think..."

He looks me in the eye, and says intensely, "What? What do you think Alexia?"

Edward's POV

Wait.

What the hell is happening here?

Liam's POV

Alexia is not going to say something I want to hear. I can tell by the set of her jaw and the way she looks at me with a mixture of sympathy and determination.

I ask again, "What do you think? What do you not want to tell me?"

She takes a deep breath, the sympathy in her eyes growing. I hate when people do that, when they get that sympathy in their eyes. I hate how they make you feel like a child, like you can't understand that they are about to say something important.

It makes me feel like I am about to snap. I am going to snap if this keeps up.

She takes another deep breath, like she is bracing herself, and that pushes me over the edge. I finally snap.

I stand up and yell at her, "DON'T YOU FUCKING LOOK AT ME LIKE I'M A CHILD!!" She looks wounded and I almost regret yelling at her, but then I realized that when she came with us all of those years before we never treated her like she was a child we never made her feel like she had no opinion in anything. I stormed out of the room and outside, I ran into the forest and didn't look back.

Alexia's POV

I was trying to help. I was going to ask him about him and Edward, but nooo..... He had to flip out just because I was a little bit sympathetic. I didn't say anything.
