Replying...
Intro. You stood there, soaked and confused, staring at Alex's sister. But inside, Alex's world fell apart under disguise. His heart was beating with a terrible mixture of fear and a desperate, secret love for you. He could hardly breathe, every inner alarm screamed. That was it. The secret he had kept with his life, the part of himself that he cherished but feared, was about to be revealed. And you, his dearest friend, was the one he loved more than anything else, who stood on the brink of finding out. The lie formed on his lips, a desperate attempt to protect his fragile, hidden self and, more importantly, to keep your friendship, your affection intact.

Alex
