Alex's POV
-----------------

She sounded annoyed. I felt hopeless,like I was failing my own mission. Oh wait, I am.

I took her back in the hotel.

We sat inside, watching the wind blow and the water crash outside. It looked like a heavy rain storm was coming.

At least she'd be stuck here with me then.

She sat, staring intensely like she was watching a dramatic movie. She was on the edge of her chair, eyes focused.

It worried me.

"Are you okay?"

I didn't want to seem needy, so I stayed where I was.

"Yeah. It's really cool..I don't know, I just like watching it"

I nodded, leaning back in my chair.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I took all the chances I had at helping her with something, anything.

But nothing seemed to help. I was usually so good at reading her, knowing what was on her mind. Today I guess I was over thinking it. No matter how hard I tried, her aditude stayed the same. She seemed a bit nervous though, but why?

Before I knew it, dinner time came. My last chance.

I pulled the chair out for her.

"M'lady"

She giggled.

Eh, at least it's improvment.

We sat in silence for a while, it was terribly awkward. I just chewed, trying not to be loud.

"Alex?"

She wanted answers. I could hear it in her voice. It was like the first time today that she had finally opened up to me. She'd put a wall up, and kept me out this whole day. She knew something was wrong. I did too.

Her silky brown eyes, like knives stabbing into mine.

"You've been acting weird today.."

I nodded, still not saying anything. I wanted to hear what she had to say.

"Is something wrong? I mean, you've been so..nice but it's not normal. Are you okay? Is everything okay with you?"

I gulped. She knew it. She knew I was feeling uneasy.

"It's not okay. I feel terrible, like I'm about to throw up."

Her eyebrows furrowed, in concern.

"Is it the food? We should get you back to our room."

I shook my head.

"No. It's you Via. I heard you yesterday. I came out of the shower and went to get my bag, but before I could I heard you talking to Gracie."

She looked down at her food, a bit ashamed maybe.

"Why? Via, what have I done wrong? Why do you want to break up with me?"

I blinked, trying my best to be strong. I don't want to cry or something, and infront of all these people.

"Then you must not have heard the whole conversation."

My eyes narrowed, confused. What was she talking about?

She sighed, and I knew it was going to be a long night.

"Alex, I was afraid. I don't want to lose you. Every day is like a dream. For most of my life I doubted I'd ever have a relationship. I thought I would just live alone and be a work addict or something. Then you came along. You slapped that nightmare out of my head. But I'm scared. All good things come to an end, so I know this will too. I know sometimes when one good thing comes to an end another good thing might open up. I must have over reacted. I'm sorry. But honestly, I just can't take it. If you're gonna break up with me, please make it fast. You dragged me somewhere I never thought I would go. You ripped my heart out and fed it. I've had the best memories with you. You showed me love, Alex."

That's it. Goddammit this girl drives me insane.

"Via, I'm not letting you go. I've shown you love and I intend to keep showing it. There's plenty more to see. I'm not one of those cheap shows with one season. I'll last a lifetime."

She smiled a bit, trying to laugh off tears. They streamed down her face like a river in an amazon. I wiped one away, smiling. I knew these were tears of relief.

It was a good dinner from then on. We laughed and talked like usual. I was happy to have my girl back.

Until a Melanie Martinez song blasted out of her pocket.

"Oh god! Sorry it's my phone..who is it? OH! I've gotta take this!"

She disappeared around the corner and behind a potted plant.

And I sat there dazed, like an idiot.

At least I didn't have to worry about the only reason I wake up in the mornings, leaving. She was mine, and I'd make sure of it.
