She fell asleep.

Serenity groaned mentally. Just what the hell was he doing? His current

situation: sitting on the living room floor of Alice's apartment with her

head in his lap.

Alice Nightray. The hateful girl who destroyed many people's life. His high

school classmate. His best friend's ex-girlfriend. Now? An vulnerable girl

hiding much mystery.

The way Alice was right now, it was like Serenity didn't know her. She was

completely child-like in the way she nuzzled in to his lap, her hair strewn

all over her tear-streaked face. Her hands were curled in to sweaty fists by

her face, and her long legs folded up to her chest. Her pleated black skirt

was absolutely crumpled.

Seriously. Was he expected to just believe that there was more to her than

just her cold-heartedness? After everything she did, was he supposed to give

her a chance to explain all this new-found mystery? After that, could he

forgive her?

She hurt his little sister. She hurt his sister's friends. She wanted to

kill him. More importantly, he wanted to kill her.

So, after all the unforgivable and unforgettable sins she committed, why was

he unable to raise a hand to the Alice that was curled on his lap?

Damn it, he didn't understand anything anymore.
