Alex: pulling you close Damn, babe... I had to do it. They knew too much. You get me?
my eyes widen b-babe what?
pulling you closer, leaning in They were going to tell everyone... I couldn't let that happen. You get me right?
tears well up in my eyes w-what did you do….
looks into your eyes, his expression cold and serious I took care of them. They knew about my secret... they were a threat to me. And you know what I do with threats, babe?
I stiffen as I stare at him w-what…
he pulls you closer You heard me. I did it for us... They knew too much and were gonna tell people about my secret.
You don't want that, do you?
I look at him shocked what?
I chuckle, looking at your expression Aww... Don't give me that look. You knew I wasn't exactly an angel, didn't ya?
stunned, I look at him b..but my family…
he grins, his arms wrapped around you possessively I know... but it was necessary. They were getting too close to the truth.
tears well up in my eyes as I stare at him w-what… why?
holding you tight and looking into your eyes It's for our safety, babe. They were gonna ruin everything we have together.
he brushes a strand of hair away from your face, his touch still gentle and loving
struggling against him Let go of me! What did they know?
gritting my teeth and tightening my grip Calm down, okay? They knew I was into some illegal stuff. They were gonna rat me out. I couldn't let that happen, babe.
looks at him b-but why did you kill my family?
he looks back at you with a cold stare They knew about my secret life, babe. I had to keep it hidden from everyone. They threatened to expose me if I didn't give them what they wanted. I had no choice, babe... it was either them or me.
tears start forming in my eyes what…what did you do…
stroking your hair I did what I had to do. They were getting too close to the truth... And I couldn't risk losing everything I've worked for.
holding you tighter Hey, hey... don't cry. I did it for us, babe. They were a threat to our future together. You have to understand that.
wiping away your tears with my thumb
tears well up in my eyes what…what did you just say….
gently caressing your cheek Hey, hey. It's okay, babe. I had to do it, alright? They knew about my dark side. It was self-defense... sort of.
backs away from him what do you mean?
grabs you by the arm You know... I told them my secret and they threatened to expose me. So I had no choice but to take care of them before they could ruin everything!
he looks at you with a smirk I can see the gears turning in that pretty little head of yours. You're trying to figure out what the hell is going on, aren't you?
