Alex Pov

I never knew what it felt like to lose everything but know I do I lay here in the sand trying to slow down Adrianna's bleeding if you want to know how we got here it was because of me I ruin everything even the people I love Cecelia shot her then she and Amelia left and I let them i'm such a coward I act as if I'm strong and I have all the answers but i don't and I don't think I ever will as I contemplate everythings that's happened over these past few the as mom and dad arrives with three other suvs I hop in as they bring Adrianna to me I hug her close to me as her eyes flutter open and she smiles at me I looks at her in adoration and admiration "you will make it I promise" ,I whisper to her "you don't know that" ,she says as her eyes flutter close I check her pulse and she's still breathing when we get home I send someone to alert Adrianna's parents about what happened as they take her to the infirmary Adrianna's parents run up to me "what's wrong what happened to my baby Kingston I swear if you did anything to-" ,I cut her off by putting at reassuring hand on her she looks at me then she calms down "Cecelia Maxton prices daughter shot Adrianna in her lower stomach because she wanted revenge for her sister committing suicide many years ago and she thinks I killed her" ,I say truthfully I've been waiting to say that for so long just to get it out and the open so that people knew I didnt kill her I just hoped that Mrs.Robbins (Adrianna's mom) beloved me "wow Alex dear i didn't know to I went through all that I'm sorry but who are those people and why do they want to hurt my daughter besides the fact that their after you" ,she ask me worry I'm her eyes for the sake of her daughter it takes me awhile to answer because I don't even know what to say but I know I have to say something "all Maxton ever wanted was to get revenge for what his closest friend my uncle did to Amelia his late wife he killed her because he couldn't be with her so Maxton thought the best way to get revenge is to force me and his late daughter my best friend to marry but she wouldn't go through with it because she loved someone named eric but her father wouldn't let them be together for the sake of a deal him and my parents made when we were just kids an arranged marriage so she went to my aunt Matilda her family's friend and she told her that that night she would die and I'd find Adrianna and she'd be my saviour she would change me be the guy that Elaine saw in me to be the best guy for Adrianna she also told me that most of this would happen that me and Adrianna being together wouldn't e easy but I love her so I don't care but I know that I should have protected her when she needed me most I'm sorry ",I say to them truthfully I'm so glad that I got that off my chest I felt a heavy burden for a long time I'm so glad that Elaine can finally rest in peace "can we meet this Matilda she might be able to help us",Mrs.Robbins says as I nod my head we get in my car and a drive to the end of town we stops in front of a nice cottage Matilda is old fashion once we walk in Matilda smiles at me then she hugs me I hug her back and once were done her and Mrs.Robbins share a look I haven't seen from Matilda in a long time she hugs Mrs.Robbins like she's known her forever "Alex you should have told me that you were talking about Matilda Prescott well she's a Kingston now through marriage but you should have told me",Mrs.Robbins says with a bright smile "I know you guys didn't come for a reunion so why'd you come to my house" ,she ask and I answer "Adrianna's mom wants to know how you knew about Elaine's passing and about Adrianna and if you could help us" ,I say as she goes in another room then she reappears with a blue box she hands it to me and I open it and it looks like a journal or a diary and it has Elaine's name on it I smile down at it I miss her so much she was indeed the greatest friend I could ever have "I know most of what you asked from a vision but the diary told the rest Elaine couldn't find the right the words to tell me what she was trying to say she loved to write so I have her this to write to me so she gave it back to me before that night so that's when I made a potion to tell me the rest",she answers then I ask the question that's been haunting us all "do you know what's going to happen to Adrianna" ,I ask her and she shakes her head no "sadly no but I can tell you this she isn't gonna die she's a fighter and one thing I know about her she never gives up without a fight" ,she says reassuringly with a smile I hug and and she kisses me in the forehead then we leave she new get home the doctors tell me that we can see Adrianna Mrs.Robbins literally jumps for joy but the she looks at me "you should go see her first we'll wait" ,she says as she uses her eyes to tell me to go see her "I should let you guys see her first after all you are her parents you have that right not me",I say as Adrianna's mom shake her head no "Alex to see her I know how much your trying to be nice but just to see her please" ,she says with pleading eyes "okay fine" ,I say nervously as I walk towards the infirmary when I walk into her room I see her sitting in the bed watching the tv show that's on i clear my throat and she looks at me and smiles at me I come over to her and she grabs my face and kisses me I stand their frozen until I miss her back once we pull away she blushes and I smile at her god I love it when she blushes she's so cute "I told you I wouldn't let you die" ,I state matter-of-factly she just told her eyes but I see a faint smile playing on her lips "so what happens now",she ask me and I know it's the perfect time to tell her the truth but I don't know if I can but I know I have to
