Preston's POV


Preston: "What do you mean your going to kill him?"

Alex: "I mean what I said. I've spent the past week trying to figure out what to do.Trying to protect every single person. Including you. But I can't come to any conclusions."

Preston: "Sometimes we have to lose Alex. You need to understand that."

Alex: "You can't change my mind. It's not just about us anymore."

Preston: "What do you mean?"

Alex: "This whole school is in danger."

Preston: "I know."

Alex: "Then why don't you let me fix it."

Preston: "Because your one person."

Alex: "That hasn't stopped you before."

I took a step closer to him as we made our way home. Grabbing his hand in my own. He looked down at our hands. Letting out a sigh. Before he tightened his grip on my hand.

Alex: "I'm sorry."

Preston: "You've been stressed. I don't blame you. We both have done wrong. Mainly me. But you know your not alone in this right?"

Alex: "Yeah I know.Thanks."

We finally arrived back home. I didn't know what he needed to get but we had 35 minutes to make it back to the stage and stands. IF we weren't there. We would be fucked. And not in a good way.

Preston: "What are you even looking for here?"

Alex: "I'm not looking for anything. I know what I'm doing."

Preston: "So what are you doing?"

Alex: "I'm just grabbing something."

Preston: "What are you grabbing? You can't get anything that will fucking kill him. This is another persons life. No matter how bad or pathetic the guy is."

He looked back at me with sadness in his eyes.

Alex: "What would you do if I told you I had this planned ages ago. What would happen. Every part of it. Every step?"

Preston: "I... What?"

Alex: "Every single thing that has happened. Over the past couple of weeks."

Preston: "Alex. No one is that good. It's not possible."

Alex: "Do you remember.The day after I got here. We talked about how the impossible could happen. When I didn't know you knew full well of your abilities. We sat in class and talked about the possibility of combining abilities.Being able to help each other out. Being able to see what we could all do. Maybe even "figure out what you could do." Do you remember Preston?"

I looked at him dumbfounded. He was talking shit. He had to be right. He couldn't possibly be speaking the truth.

Preston: "Yeah Alex. I remember. What did you do?"

Alex: "Do you remember.When we were walking through the halls to class that day. When those students attacked us with their abilities. All the elementals overpowering us. Josh couldn't breathe. Lachlan freezing on the wall. Me almost literally on fire."

Preston: "Yeah of course. I was so scared you were hurt. I didn't know what to do."

Alex: "And do you remember when we met Roza. How she knocked us away before I could kiss you. And do you remember when I put her in her place. Trying to intimidate and scare her. Until she told me to take her on. But I needed to choose someone else so she knew what I could do."
