I looked at Alex and took a deep breath. "She made you fall inlove with her?" He nodded his head, "Yeah. She gave me a necklace that made me fall inlove with her. But, I guess the necklace broke because. I thought of you the whole time." I blushed and then smiled a little. "Why didn't you come back sooner?" "Because, the necklace was too strong. Then, finally. I guess real love broke it." He smiled at me and put his hand on the back of my head and brang me closer to him. He looked me in the eyes and said slowly, "I love you, not a girl that looks like a barbie doll and is almost fiction looking. I'm inlove with a girl who is actually in reality, she's beautiful, smart, funny, and nice. And she's all mine." I smiled and looked down, so he couldn't see me blushing. He took his finger and lifted my head, "Don't hide your smile from me." I tried to look at him seriously but it just made me laugh.

Later that night I changed into my night gown and went over to my bed. There, was Alex. Laying on my bed, sleeping. "Alex!" I moaned as I tried to push him off the bed. "Moooooove!" Alex opened one eye and quickly shut it, hoping I didn't see it. "Alex! I saw that! You're awake! Get up! Get up!" I said while I laughed at him. He opened his eyes and rolled them, "Oh fine!" He said as he hopped up and crossed his arms. He guestered twords my bed and rolled his eyes again. I sat down on my bed and patted my bed for Alex to sit on. He sat down, looked at me from the corner of his eyes and wrapped his arms around me. He kissed my cheek and then smushed our cheeks together. I started laughing and tried to get out of his grasp. "Let me go!" I giggled as I squermed. "Hmmmm...No!" He said. After a few minutes I got tired and stopped trying to move. My eye lids wanted to close, but I tried to keep them open.

In a few moments my eyes were completely closed and did NOT, want to open. I felt him pick me up, pull back the covers, and put me in bed. He pulled the covers back up to my chin and kissed my forehead. "Goodnight, Valentine." He whispered as he put out my candle.

In the morning I opened my eyes and heard yelling out on the deck. I rushed out to see what the rucus was and saw Alex and Possey(Po-zee) making fist, threatening to punch each other. "Stop!" I screamed. Everyone froze, and looked at me. Possey put his fist down and rolled his eyes, "He was stealing from my kitchen!" Alex began to get very angry and threw down his fist, "I was not stealing! I was making breakfast for the young lady here! Is that wrong!" He yelled as Possey shook his head and thretened to kill him. "No! There will be no fighting! And no killing!" They looked at each other and walked opposite ways. Alex grabbed my arm and pulled me with him. "What was that?" He said in a fierce voice. "I didn't want anyone getting hurt." I said, he nodded his head in a sarcastic way and then let go of ym arm. There was a red mark from how hard he was gripping it.

I looked back up at him and gave him a dirty look. "You hurt me!" I yelled as I hit his arma nd stormed off. My arm was turning purple and leaving a bruise. "Val! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you I was just angry!" He caught up with me and stopped infront of me. "Please, Val." I pushed him out of the way and opened my door. I slammed it right in his face and the looked at him through the glass windows. I could tell he was talking, I just didn't know what he was saying. I didn't care either, I screamed and ran to my bed.

For some reason, I began to cry. But I quickly wipped away the tears so no one could see me cry. But Alex already knew, I looked back and his forehead was pressed up against the glass and he has a sorry look on his face. He saw one more tear run down my face and he kicked open the door. I screamed and hid under the covers. He sat on my bed and pulled back my arms so I would look into his eyes. But I shut mine. "Open your eyes," I shook my head and shut them tighter. "No!" He pullled my arms so I was sitting up and said slowly again, "Open, your eyes. Now." I opened one eye, and then the other. "I love you, and I never wanted to hurt you Valentine. I was just really, really angry. I'm sorry. Please forgive me." I looked at him and didn't say anything, but forgave him. He put down my arms and hugged me.

I shut my eyes and hugged him back. "Will you forgive me?" He asked, I nodded my head and he hugged me tighter. He kissed my cheek and then continued to hug me. We sat there forever it seemed. And finally, it stopped. He grabbed my shoulders and seperated us. He looked me straight in the eyes and said nothing. He then grabbed my hand and stood up. "May I have this dance?" He asked, bowing down to me. I smiled and then answered, "There's no music playing." "I know." He whispered. I stood up and curtsied. "Yes young sir you may. I laughed at how silly I sounded and then he pulled me closer.

He grabbed my hand and put it on his shoulder,and put his hand on my waist. We danced for a long time, until I looked in the doorway. There was the whole crew, watching us dance. I screamed and Alex dropped me. He yelled and picked me back up. "Are you okay?" He said in a panniced voice. "Yeah, I'm fine," I looked at the crew and then said, "Why were you all watching us?" My father shrugged and then replied, "We thought it was sweet. You two are obviously inlove." He ended with a smile. Alex and I smiled at them and nodded our heads.
