Dancing With The Devil

A Stone Heart

"You messed up Alex, again." I shot back, "and this time I'm not going to make it easy for you. You want my forgiveness BROTHER?"

"Then come and get it."

Alex's face dropped down and I felt Michael tighten his grasp on my waist as I stepped forward and looked into his green eyes, "you did enough, you lied to me and I feel ashamed of myself that for one second I thought that I actually meant something to you," he looked into my eyes and took my hand, "I'm so-"

"Don't bother," I snapped throwing my hand off of his, "how about you actually work for my forgiveness? I worked my ass off trying to save you but apparently you're NOT worth saving."

"You know," I huffed sarcastically, "I could just take my boyfriend with me to see his best friend, it's really that simple. He deserves to see her," I said pulling Michael beside me, "unlike you of course."

Alex's eyes shifted over to look at me, and a shiver ran through my spine. There was something very slightly odd about him, but it was difficult to tell what it was. His hair brushed on the side of his face leaving just the perfect amount of space to reveal his green eyes, which I couldn't help but wonder into.. until I snapped out of it. He's Alex. He's not the good guy.

"It's so easy, I could just let Michael come with me, he wants to anyways," I uttered furiously, "right michael?!" I mumbled as I felt my voice crack while I was talking, "no hailey," Michael pulled me into his arms. And before I knew it tears trickled down my face, I felt like everything was lifted off my chest. There's this hunger inside of me that I can't seem to get rid of. I pulled myself closer to Michael and hugged him tightly, "don't let go just yet," I whispered as he tightened his arms around my waist and breathed in deeply.

"I wasn't going to."

Alex's P.O.V

She was crying, it broke my heart to see her like that. But then again, it's my fault. I did this, but I love her more than Michael ever will. There's a part about my mom dying that she doesn't know. That no one knows.

My mother, Julia holds all of the guardian angel's powers, including Hailey. Her life is linked to mine, if anything happens to her it happens to me. And that's why after Hailey got burned I stayed back home and let Michael go take her to the hospital. Because I was burnt too.

So if was the one who died ten years ago then she would've died too. It's messed up.

But her life was in my own hands, I had a huge decision to make. And when I knew about the path, I had hope that we would see our mother again. So I let my mom die instead, and that still haunts me everyday. But I did it for a reason, and that's to save my sister, and the girl I love. I couldn't let her die in my hands, and just seeing her cry now made me want to hug her and hold her in my arms.

"Please stop crying," I literally begged, "fine don't help me but just stop crying."

"As if you care," she muttered wiping her tears off, "what do you care if I'm crying huh? Remember the part when you killed his sister and never told me? Remember when you acted all innocent when we met, remember?"

"Remember that bracelet you gave me?!" she said with tears in her eyes, my heart dropped down to my chest as she pulled up her sleeve and showed me the bracelet, "you see that? Now THAT was all a lie, just like all the other lies you pulled on me." She threw the bracelet at me and stormed off.
