Alexis and I were still hugging each other when we heard a loud noise. The door was angrily opened by some rich looking man.

"Alexis!!" The man shouted.

"Dad, what are you--" Alexis tried to answer but was cut off.

So it was her dad. What a scary looking man.

"What the hell are you doing here?! You didn't ask for permission to go outside the house. What are you trying to imply? Are you thinking of a rebellion?!" Her dad shouted angrily at her. The rest of the people stood still and were shocked at the sudden situation, even me.

"No dad. It isn't what you think. I just went to visit Rai-.." She was interrupted again.

"Go home you stubborn young lady! And you, stupid bastard, would you mind telling your fiancee not to disobey her father?!" He turned and pointed at Raiven.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY?! CALLING RAIVEN "STUPID BASTARD"?!!

Raiven remained quiet even after getting shouted at. I stared at him and waited for a movement. He looked like he wasn't breathing or something. ._.

"Ouch! Dad, it hurts! Let go." Alexis screamed in pain while being dragged by her cruel father.

"This is what you get for disobeying me."

"It hurts!! LET GO!!" She, somehow, found a way to pull out her arm from her father's hand.

"How dare you!" The man slapped Alexis so hard that she fell to the ground.

"Alex!" Raiven ran toward her.

Alexis hugged him in terror. She cried hard in his arms.

"Suit yourself then!" Alexis's dad went out and banged the door.

"He's so awful!! Awful as hell! I don't want to go home!!" Alexis was extremely frightened.

"But you need to go home." Raiven calmly responded.

"No.. No!!" She cried even more.

"Alexis." I went towards them.

"Jaydee!" She turned and cried on me instead."I don't know what to do! That's how cruel my father is! Help me.. help..me."

Alexis was shaking in fear.

"I'll help you, don't worry." I patted her head.

"Really? How?" She wiped her tears.

"In anyway I could." I honestly don't know how to help her.

"Jaydee... Can I stay in your house for a while?"

"What? Wait.. Huh?" I widened my eyes.

"My dad knows this place. I should go somewhere he doesn't know about. I just need to cool off. Is it okay?" Alexis looked at me with puppy dog eyes.

"It's okay but wouldn't he get angrier if you do that?"

"I'll let someone deliver a message to my dad that I would not go home. He'll calm down and be worried about me soon."

I'm unable to decide myself so I asked Raiven.

"Is it going to be alright if she goes with me?" I questioned.

"As long as she's with you, she'll be fine." Raiven smiled at me.

"My house is quite small, is that okay?" I asked Alexis.

"It's okay, as long as it's comfortable." Alexis stood up.

"Should we go now or you still want to stay a little longer?"

"I want to go now before my father changes his mind and go back."

"I'll come with you." Raiven volunteered.

"Hey! Don't forget me!" Alice waved and run towards us.

Alexis will be staying in my house from this day on until she decides to go back. Will I really be able to comfort her?

The next morning...

"Jaydee!! Wake up!" A childish voice said loudly.

"Huh? Alice, is that you again?" My vision was still unclear.

"Stupid! It's Alexis."

"Alexis... ALEXIS?!" I immediately sat up after my vison cleared.

"I asked to stay here right?" She was kneeling beside my bed.

"Wait.. Alexis? What happened to your long blonde curly hair?! Why did it become short and.. brown? And where did you get those glasses?"

"Well, I renewed my look so my dad nor his staff wouldn't recognize me." She grinned.

"What? You silly girl." I laughed at her.

"Reagan likes brunette girls so I--- oh my gosh." She covered her mouth.

"Did you say Reagan?! Oh my!! You like him!! He's that someone whom you were talking about." I giggled and poke her cheek.

"I-I don't like him!! I love him!" She blushed so hard.

"Alexis! You should have said that to your father! He's still a Lee anyway."

"I already did but... he didn't listen to me and got mad."

"Oh.. Why did he get mad at your feelings? What kind of father is he?"

"He's not really bad. My dad is just pressured and stressed because of his work but he's unable to express his emotions during work so he lets out his feelings towards me instead." Alexis sounded like she was about to cry.

"Don't cry Alexis!"

"I'm not going to cry Jaydee. I'm going to be fine, as long as I'm with you. As your prince said." She stuck her tongue out.

"Hey, don't say that again!" I blushed.

"You two really love each other." She laughed at me.

"Oh stop it you." I hit her with my pillow.
