I thought for a moment and ran to catch back up with Posey(sorry for the name spelling mess up!) "What do you mean by that!" He took my hand of his shoulder and looked me right in the eyes. "I love you Valentine." I crinkled my nose and shook my head. "But you're old!" I said in the funniest possible way I could. "No. I'm your age. I hid my age so I could work on your father's boat." I took a deep breath and then let it out, "So that's why you've always looked so young huh." He nodded his head and let go of my wrist.

"Why hadn't you told me before Posey?" He closed his eyes and let the wind hit his face, "Because, you could have told someone." I shook my head and touched his shoulder, "No, I would never do that to you." Then, something odd struck me. "Wait. Posey, if you were there when I was born...How are we the same age?" He froze and looked away from me. "I wasn't." "But, you said you had been working for my father long before I was born! Did you lie to me?" "Yes. But my brother was there. My brother brought me to the boat after you were born. He kept me in his room. When my brother died I was found, and they took me in as him." "Oh..." I said.

I wipped the tear from my cheek that the wind had caused and took a deep breath. I closed my eyes and pictured Posey and Alex fighting for me. I didn't know who to trust. Posey? Or Alex. Alex, had lied to me many times and cheated on me. Posey, has always protected me and never hurt me. I looked over and Posey was no where in sight. I headed back to my room and saw Alex and his wife sitting on the bed. I opened the doors and asked her to kindly leave while Alex and I talked. She left the room without another word. "Alex. I'm breaking up with you." Alex jumped up off the bed and gripped my lower shoulders, "Valentine! Think about this! About us! Please don't do this." I removed his hands and looked at the ground, "There is no us." Alex exhailed and got the worried look in his eyes, then left the room.

I shut the doors after him, and didn't look back to see where he was going. I sat down with my back against the doors and began to cry. I wrapped my hands over my knees and shoved my face in my knees to silence my crying. When I saw the sun rise coming up I jumped into bed and wipped away my tears. I closed my eyes and slept for the remainder of the morning. When it was time to wake up I heard my doors open, but no one said. "Wake up dearie!" Or anything. I kept my eyes shut tight and waited for my waking call. Someone took five steps and the knocked something off my dresser. I heard foot steps walk around to the back side of my bed. I squinted my eyes opened but it was of no use because they were on the other side.

I felt a hand touch my head very slowly, very softly. I shut my eyes again and listened to the person breathing. I heard the sound of a blade being drawn. I began to shake with fear and opened my eyes and saw their shadow, the blade was raised above them and they were ready to hit. I screamed and rolled off the bed.
