CHAPTER 34

Harley's POV

I dash into Alexis's room with a pounding heart, thinking of what must have happened to her.

Ann's face was aghast with panic and worry and it made me scared that something bad is about to happen to Alexis.

I see her writhing in pain on the bed and I rush to her, glancing around for signs of what must have injured her.

There is nothing in sight. Her room is well arranged, just the way I left it this evening before she went to sleep.

She noticed my gloomy mood when she came back from school and she thought it had something to do with what her father did to me this morning but I assured her that I was fine.

When she didn't believe me, I told her what happened. She listened like an adult, grasp my hands between her tiny hands to console me, and told me everything will be alright.

I didn't expect her to understand. I just told her so she could let me be, so she would know that her father had nothing to do with my sadness.

She understood beyond what I told her and it amazes me
