P.S. I've never realized how much of a boy I looked like 😂😵🔫⬆

   Alex's POV:

    What has becometh of me?
   What lie beneath that pretty smile?
   Yet, he who knows the truth,
   Forsakens me and throws me into the bewildered.

                           ~Me

   I fell in love with her right there in that moment and still, to this day, I get drunk on the very thought of her. But that wasn't the end of our story, oh how I wish it was, but no, the story goes forth...

   "Alex... I know I promised no more lies, but I was too embarrassed to share it with you the other day." Paris remarks with pityness.

   "I know, I just wish you would have told me then. I could have prevevnted..." I choked on my words... "this..." 

   I lifted her bandaged arm and kissed the cloth carefully.

    "You know I would have said yes in an instant, plus, you shouldn't be embarrassed to share ANYTHING with me. I love you and all of your flaws. So yes, I'm a little upset that you couldn't tell me earlier, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to let you live with me." I continued.

    A sigh of relief escaped her lips.

   Leaning over, still holding her hand, I kissed her.

   "Thank you for understanding... I don't know why I went off on my aunt like that, but it doesn't matter now because she kicked me out. I'm just glad I can stay with you." She mutters.

   "Me too, let's sign you out of here and go home. "

   We were currently in the hospital, where she ended staying overnight.

   She had been staying at my house for the past few days and last night was a horrific night for us.

   I had walked into the room to find her bleeding out on the floor.

  But let's not talk about the past.

   "Alex, I know I haven't eaten much, but would you care if we stopped somewhere?" Paris says shyly.

   "Of course not love. Anything for my baby." I reply as we pull out of the parking lot.

   She shuddered at the word baby.

   Confused, I asked her where she wanted to go.

    "Is Taco Bell okay?"  She asked, batting those huge eyelashes at me.

   I nodded my head as we drove to eat.

It wasn't until night that we got home, and surprisingly, I wasn't even tired.

   "You're beautiful, you know that?" I said looking down on her face.

  We were in my bed watching T.V, her head upon my chest.

   I saw red rising to her cheeks as she shook her head no.

    "Well you are." I reply.
