When I wake back up, Alexander is standing by my bed. He immediately moves closer and sits down beside me when he sees that I am awake.
"Are you okay, I was so worried when you were not in class?"
"I am fine."
"Lauren said she found you crying in the library on the floor. What happened?"
"It was nothing really."
"Are you sure? Your friends were very worried when you went missing suddenly. I hate to say this but I think Damon was the most concerned about where you were."
At the sound of his name, I turn away and feel tears running down my face again. Alexander reaches out and puts his arms around me in a hug. At his touch, I shudder and move away from him and his touch to sit on the other side of the bed.
"Damon went into the library right after you left me to go to class."
My voice comes out as a hoarse whisper as I try to find the courage to go on and tell him what happened.
"Is Damon the reason you left school?"
I nod my head.
