***ALEX'S POV***
I didn't need to be guarded anymore, they all knew that, but they were still staying close to me. I think that now, instead of making sure that I didn't try to run away from them, they were trying to protect themselves by staying close to me. They wanted my help. They wanted out of this situation. They wanted to be free, and that was what I had offered them. And now that it was on the horizon, they were even more scared to lose it.
