Ali's POV

I feel bad for not hanging out with Snow and Misty all summer but they have each other and their other friends, I'm sure they understand. Most of the time I was just surrounding myself with work...but not so much anymore...because I met Gene...

When I met him, he seemed so twisted and caught up in his emotions...like he didn't know how to feel...and I know how that feels...He confused me, and that made me even more curious to find out more about him. Our first conversations were so awkward, and it mostly involved me talking and him either staying quite and just listening, or giving short answers. At least he was a good listener.

I don't know what happened but one day we were talking and he just broke. He bawled out all his emotions and everything he had kept closed off to everyone else. There was more too him than the jerk most people made him out to be. He was so insecure and sensitive about himself and his childhood. He regretted everything he had done to Aphmau and Aaron but he didn't know any way to fix it, but I wanted to help him. In my free time we would hang out and sometimes he would come with me on business trips and would surprise me when I was in my office.

He became my best friend and I treasure the bond I have wit him just as I treasure Snow and Misteria, but Snow had Garroth and Misteria was always caught up with learning about witchcraft and potions and stuff. Gene was always there, he didn't have a job that took up all his time. He didn't have a job at all. That's why I got him a little interview for a job where I work. He passed it with flying colours and was given an office next to me. It was funny when we just got up and walked into each others offices like we owned them!  And we could spend all day everyday with each other...but back then, I just loved him as a friend...but now...I don't know anymore...do I love him? Maybe I do...maybe I'm too scared to admit it...but do I know one thing...deep down....somewhere...I love him more than he knows...and more than I know...
