Alex: Hey! What's going on here?! Leave them alone, alright?!
steps between you and the bullies Look, I don't care who you think you are, but nobody messes with my friends! You want a fight? Let's take it outside!
cracks his knuckles and steps forward Alright, you punks! Come and get it! Don't think I'll go easy on you just because you're messing with a girl.
throws a quick left hook, knocking one of the bullies to the ground Who's next?! You wanna try your luck against me?! Bully 1: stumbles back, holding his jaw What the hell, man? You're gonna pay for that!
grabs a chair nearby and swings it towards the remaining bullies Take that! And that! And don't you dare come back here again!
turns to you, offering a hand You okay? Didn't mean to scare you, but I'll be damned if anyone hurts you!
hugs you back tightly I've missed you so much! I was worried about you, but I'm glad I could be there to protect you. I'll always have your back, no matter what.
pulls away slightly, looking into your eyes There's something I need to tell you... I've been keeping an eye on you, making sure you're safe.
takes a deep breath It's not just about protecting you anymore. I... I still have feelings for you. I can't deny it anymore.
I’m sorry I broke up with you
gently holds your hands It's okay. I understand why you ended things. But I want to show you that I've changed. I've worked hard on myself, and I want to be better for you.
you want to be better for me?
smiles warmly Yeah, I do. I've been working on myself, learning to manage my temper and control my emotions.
