You know you're
In love when you
Can't fall asleep
Because reality is finally better
Than your dreams

Alec's POV

It was half past eight as we all prepared to go back. Somehow Claire had made all of us do our assignments. Even without attending the classes she was by far the smartest one.

"Bye"
"Bye"
"Ba bye"
"See you"
"Bye"

We called our goodbyes as I slowly walked behind Claire... I am not gonna let her go alone.

"Are you following me? "

"No- yes no"

Damn it

"That's the first thing you said to me after I came back you know?" I bit my lips

"I was accompanying you"

"Then walk beside me not behind me"

"Yeah" I started walking beside her

"Talk in full sentences"

"Yeah"

"Don't you have anything to say to me? "

"I don't know what to say"

"Why? Did these 4months create that big of a distance?" She looked at me with those big blue eyes

"No no"

"Then? "

"There's a bench there, do you want to sit? " She nodded

"I have a lot to say to you Claire and I absolutely have no clue how to"

"You can tell me anything"

"I was afraid I would loose you for ever, it was the most scary thing I had to ever witness. I couldn't fathom you doing something like that. I i-" He sighed

"I am not gonna apologize for committing suicide"

"Claire-"

"But I am gonna say sorry because I hurt you"

"No no please-"

"I am sorry I was rude to you, I insulted you, I am sorry I never saw how much you cared for me, I am sorry I got so jealous of Amy that I stopped noticing you, I am sorry I believed her over you, I am sorry I wanted to kill Raine when she said you slept with her, I am also sorry I didn't give you the love you deserved. I am truly sorry."

What did I just hear?

"Huh? " I blinked rapidly

"You idiot" I still couldn't speak

"Alec"

"Hmm" I finally could look at her

"You still like me right?"

"Are you kidding me? " I sat on ground holding her hand "I can stop living but I can't stop loving you. I love love love you Claire, I love you so much" I kissed her hand

"I love you too"

"I can't believe this is happening"

"What about now? " She held my face in her small hands and kissed me and boy was it good. The kiss was sweet and loving yet so passionate and hot.

Ring Ring Ring

"Yes mom? "

"Where are you? Are you coming back? Should we pick you up? "

"I am almost there. "

"Okay."

" Bye"

"I need to go back" She said hanging up
