The Lost Cause And The Loner

Nineteen.

*Ebony's POV*

He looked almost brain dead. Like there was nothing going on in his head. I sobbed into his chest. "You're not okay!" I whispered.

"I-I'm fine..." His words were slurred. Still from the alcohol.

"How much did you drink?" I asked him. He shrugged and I pulled out of the hug. "Do you need anything?"

Alex nodded. "A hug." He said, pulling me in. I sighed and hugged him. "You're fucking perfect, you know that right?" He chuckled.

I shook my head. "Was all this for me?" I asked.

"You're so clueless. That's what I like about you. You're so naive, so innocent. It's like you've been living on another planet up until now, and you don't know how society works." He smiled.

"You're so obsessed with your studies, and intelligent too. But something in those eyes say there's a little adventure waiting to come out and play." He hugged me tighter.

"You know what though? I know you don't feel the same way as I do. You may not ever. But right now, and since the day I met you, I know that I want you involved in my life in some way. It could be anything. Just to know that you know I exist makes me happy." He let out all his feelings.

I've been so fucking blind. It takes a lot to even get me to talk to someone, but I've gone all the way with Alex.

His laughing brown eyes, dark hair and dimples in his cheeks were the reason I smiled every morning.

Before I met him, I was an introverted, boring loner. Now, I want to do things with my life other than become a successful woman of business.

Why didn't you guys tell me to stop being stupid? You knew how I felt all this time didn't you?

"Alex..." I mumbled, pulling out of his grip.

"Yeah, Ebby?" He rubbed his eyes, yawning.

"I love you." I said quickly, then burst into tears.

Alex laughed softly and squeezed me tightly. "You're so silly, bubby. I love you too. In fact, I love you more."

"I...I can't believe I put you through all this." I wiped my eyes.

"Well, you just gave me the best news of my life, so I've forgotten that already." He grinned. "Holy shit I'm lucky."

"I'm the lucky one here..." I felt my boyfriend's hand slip into mine.

"So, baby. How about I get my dirty ass up and have a shower so we can go somewhere?" Alex smirked.

"Sure." I wiped my eyes. "See you in a minute.

A\N: Just wondering, which of the characters from my stories do you like best? They can be from any book.

I can't decide, but I had the most fun writing 'Unwanted Hero.'

I love you guys.
