Behind The Reasons by AshleyWillows9

"What are you doing in my house?" A familiar voice pierced through my ears and my heart ran wild. "Alec..." It felt as though the words were stuck into my throat and I could not get them out. "You have been stalking me since a whole good month." His dark eyes were already filled with rage as his nose flared and his lips were already dried. "And now you broke into my house." "Alec, please listen. I will explain you everything, I promise." My vision was getting blurred due to the unwanted hot fluid into my eyes. "What do you want to know? How long are you going to suspect for nothing? Do you even know what you are getting yourself into?" Without waiting for another moment, I ran out of his house, leaving him in absolute darkness. ____________________________________ Ashley Willows moves to Washington to find the reasons behind the disappearance of her missing best friend, Bella.
