"ALEX!"
Alex didn't stop running and I eventually ran out of breath.
"Alex please stop!" I panted, outstretching my arm. Finally, after my endless chace, my hand grasped around his sleeve.
"We'll talk later." Alex mumbled. I shook my head.
"No. It has to be now."
"I think if I see you now, I'm going to tear up!!" He yelled. I flinched and backed away a bit.
"Alex it has to be now. Please."
Alex didn't answer and I decided to go on.
"It's not that I don't love you, hon. Of course I do. That's why I cannot-"
"Scott, please stop. I'm too miserable to talk about this. We'll talk later. Promise. Now I think you have somethings to get back to. Go on."
I shook my head. "It's no way as important as you. Please Alex. We have to talk."
"Scott what was that? Who is Mitch?"
"I'll explain everything, just...listen."
He nodded and I pulled him to a small bench.
"Mitch....he was a very special guy. He taught me how to love. Before him, I didn't know what love was. I thought of it as a way of making kids.
"He's how I knew I was gay. He was my first love, Alex. And a guy's first love never leaves. He showed me who I really was."
Alex nodded. "Yeah?"
"But.....nobody's perfect I guess. He was a vampire. And....you know, I'm an RH. We were from two totally diffrent worlds, and...well..I hurt him. And I forgot about it all these years.
"I cannot forget him, Alex. And...I didn't. I'm very very sorry."
"Scott I thought you wanted me." Alex mumbled. "You said so yourself, you couldn't live without me."
I didn't say anything, and Alex nodded.
"I was just for the emptiness in your heart, wasn't I?"
"Alex please forgive me. I know you don't want to be with me anymore and I get it. I think it's for the best for everyone if you broke up with me."
"Scott.."
"I am not in the position to break up with you. And I don't want to. But I know it's for the best. But always remember I love you."
"I do too."
I blinked. "What..?"
"I love you, Scott. I'm not going to break up with you. Do that by yourself, I can't....I just can't break up with you."
"Alex.....of course you can. Sweetheart-"
"Scott I love you too much to break up with you. I don't know why I love you so much, but I just..do. I can't do it."
"Alex, no. I'm not worth it."
"I'm sorry Scott. I just cannot."
"Then......what happens now?" I asked slowly.
Alex shrugged. "I dunno. I guess we stay this way..?"
I shook my head. "No. No no no. We can't. You're not worth it honey. You deserve to be with a guy who really loves you."
"You......don't?"
I blinked. "Oh no it's not that I don't. It's.."
"Scott.......see you at the rent house, okay? I think we both need to think about this. We'll talk tonight. Promise."
I nodded slowly. "Yeah." I said. "Till then."
He soon walked out of my sight and I turned to go. But then I heard a small swishing sound behind a bush. I blinked.
There it was again.
I used all my concentration and grabbed at the noise. "SHOW YOURSELF, BASTARD!!" I yelled.
I was ready for anything, robbers, thugs, murderers.
Or so I thought.
Because I was very not ready for the person on the other side, staring at me in fear.
".........Mitch Grassi..?"
He smiled weakly. "Hi, Scott."
I blinked and blinked, trying to understand the situation. This couldn't be. The face I've been searching for five years....here. In Transylvania.
I tried to think of something smart to say.
A million words flashed by but yet, no words came to mind.
Finally, after what it seemed like forever, I opened my mouth.
".....Where have you been..?"
