Alex's behavior became more and more concerning. He stopped eating and barely left his room. Vulcan and Luke tried to talk to him, but he would only respond with short, dismissive answers. Something was definitely off about him.

Little did Alex know that Luke, the supposed angel, was actually a devil in disguise. He had been manipulating Alex all along, slowly planting seeds of doubt in his mind about Vulcan. Luke convinced Alex that Vulcan was a bad influence and that he needed to distance himself from him in order to become a better person.

At first, Alex was hesitant to believe Luke's words. After all, Vulcan had been his best friend for years, and they had been through everything together. But Luke was persistent, and he knew just how to play on Alex's insecurities and vulnerabilities.

Eventually, Alex started to believe Luke's lies. He began to see Vulcan in a different light, noticing flaws and shortcomings that he had never paid attention to before. Luke encouraged Alex to spend less time with Vulcan and more time focusing on his own personal growth.

As Alex distanced himself from Vulcan, Luke's manipulations only grew bolder. He would plant false stories and rumors about Vulcan in Alex's mind, further cementing his negative opinion of his former friend. Meanwhile, Vulcan was left in the dark, completely unaware of what was happening.

It wasn't until months later that Alex realized the true nature of Luke's intentions. He had been used as a pawn in a larger game, and Vulcan had been the unwitting victim. Alex tried to make amends with Vulcan, but the damage had already been done. Their friendship was irreparably broken, and Alex was left to deal with the guilt and shame of what he had done.

Alex knew that he had made a terrible mistake in letting Luke come between him and Vulcan, and he was consumed with guilt and anxiety.

One day, Alex mustered up the courage to reach out to Vulcan and apologize for his behavior. He was afraid that Vulcan wouldn't forgive him, that their friendship was irreparably broken. But to his surprise, Vulcan was willing to hear him out.

Over the course of several conversations, Alex explained everything that had happened with Luke and how he had been manipulated. He apologized for his actions and begged Vulcan for forgiveness. At first, Vulcan was hesitant - he had been hurt deeply by Alex's betrayal - but eventually, he agreed to give Alex another chance.

It was a slow process, but over time, Alex and Vulcan were able to rebuild their friendship. Alex still struggled with anxiety and guilt, worried that he would lose Vulcan's trust again. But Vulcan was understanding and patient, and together, they were able to move forward.
He knew that he had been lucky to have someone like Vulcan in his life, and he was determined to never let anything come between them again.
