Misunderstood

Chapter 17

                 Alex was walking around the empty hallways of college. There was no one there and Hailey's words were echoing in her head. How couldn't she know about any of that?? How could they even think it was Liam doing all those things to those girls?? He was a good man and she knew it in her. She knew he wouldn't be able to do such a thing and something was missing in there. Something was not right and she would do everything to discover the truth and prove that Liam was innocent.

All these thoughts were leaving her completely out of the world and as she walked around the hallways she end up hitting someone, making all her things fall on the ground and wake her up to the real world.

- Oh my God! I am so sorry. – Whispered Alex quickly as she bend down to pick up everything that felt on the floor.

- It's okay. – A male vice said, making Alex shiver with how strong and deep his accent and his voice was, who end up bending down to help her getting the things. – Are you okay? – He asked her nicely.

- I am. – She said smiling as she looked at him once he bend down to help her making Alex see that he was young and really tanned matching his dark hair. His beard was a little noticeable but not too big. As usual from the men in that college, his arms and hands were full of tattoos, what made Alex gaze them for a while. – Once again, I am really sorry. I wasn't paying attention. – She said getting up and looking at him, seeing how told he was once he got up. – I am Alex by the way.

- I'm Jason. – He said smiling, showing Alex his hands so she could shake it but feeling her shaking and nervous. – You are shaking! Is everything okay with you?? – He asked worried as he looked at her.

- Yeah, just found out some things but I am okay. – She said nodding as she looked at him.

- What about going to take a coffee so you can calm down a little and take your mind away from those thoughts? – Jason asked her smiling.

- I would love that though. I do need to distract myself before going crazy. – She said, really needing to take her head away from what happened.

- Let's go!! – He said smiling and started to walk with her towards the bar they had in there.

- So, you wanna share what you were thinking about?? – Asked Jason as he looked at her, with both of their coffees over the table as people started to get there to relax a little. – I saw you leaving the class...

- You are in the same class as me?? – Asked Alex surprised with the fact that she never saw him before.

- I am. – He said looking down for a little. – I can see that you never noticed me...which is extremely sad.

- There are loads of people in there Jason, you have to give me discount because I am terrible remembering faces and names.

- It's okay, but you still didn't tell me why you left like that after talking with Hailey...

- Nothing special, I just found out some things and that got me a little confused. I just needed time to deal with everything and that is why I left.

- Does that have anything to do with Liam? – He asked as he looked at her, trying to know things. – I don't know why but I think you and Liam have a past.

- No, we don't have any past. – She said quickly, shaking her leg under the table, being extremely nervous now. She remembered what Liam told her and no one could know that they were together or had something.
