I gently rubbed a rose petal between my fingers. 'Alexander ? '
The light touch of a hand on my shoulder confirmed his presence. 'What’s wrong my lady ? '
A tear rolled down my cheek.
'This boy… '
I showed him the photo of the smiling William I took yesterday.
'Did he hurt you ?' Alexander forced me to look into his eyes. 'Did he ? '
My eyes were filled with tears as I shook my head. 'He...'
My schoulders shook. 'He told me that he's in love with another girl.'
Tears kept coming. ' I just don't understand.. '
Alexander nodded. He grinned slightly.
'I will take care of it, my lady. '
And as he disappeared in the dark night,
I would have sworn that I heard a boy screaming for mercy.
