Even though I should have felt sorry for Alex, I certainly did not. I was hurt by his words after it sunk in throughout the rest of the 'sleeping' hours I had left. I was thankful for Aidan's intervention but at the same time, I didn't know if I should feel bad. I mean...Alex was being honest, not knowing how Aidan felt about the same girl.

After last night's events, I didn't question his interjection. I intended to though. It might seem petty but trust me, this was serious.

The slamming of the front door snapped me out of my heavy train of thought.

Snapping my head towards to quick oncoming trods, it took me a while to react. Why was he here after what happened?

Alex spoke quickly and it was barely audible over his heavy pants.

'Were you running?' Ha. Aidan was probably chasing him with a baseball bat or something. I was surprised at the way I was thinking. I had no chance anyway. Even though his looks were mesmerizing, it was not all about that. His eyes were alluring and his face was what I would describe as perfection, it was not all about that. He could have been a complete jerk and be blinded with arrogance but that was not the case. He was such a sweet humble person, and I really liked that...alot.

For the few months he was in and out our house hanging with Aidan, (not that he will much anymore) they included me in their plans and I had learned so much about him. We beacame really good friends, just not as close as Aidan and I.  His parents died and he lived with his aunt and h----

'NADIA FOCUS.' Alex's eyes pierced mine, I saw the desperation filled in them.

'What happened?'

'Aidan asked her to go out tonight, to the movies, right in front of me. It was obvious he heard everything I vented last night, so we talked it out this morning and we were cool. Why would he do that Nadia? Why?'

I really wasn't in the mood for this right now...as in...I could not care any less. I knew he was my friend and I should probably help him, How? I don't know because I listed this as irrelevant in my mind.

'Why do you ask me such difficult questions Alex? I don't know. If I wasn't here, what would you have done?'

'Well, I'd probably find a next girl to go with, like a double date, to make him jealous. A girl he likes that is. Or I don't know...find a way to prevent him from getting any closer to her. If I can't have her, he absolutely can not.'

Now this is not what I expected from him. In fact, it was a type of statement I wouldn't expect him to make. How selfish and...arrogant. I reminded myself that he probably felt how I felt when he told me that he liked my best friend last night. His disappointment in Aidan's side of their friendship had to be pushing him to the extreme to talk in such a manner.

I was sure that his divine side was not a façade. Then again, I couldn't be sure. Was it?
