"Coward," I muttered, and turned back to Crystal. "Are you okay?"

I nodded softly. I was lying but I just didn't her to worry. I could easily lie. Though not to Alex. He could always tell. "Thanks," I said softly.

I tilted my head. "Are you sure?" I asked carefully.

I nodded softly. "Yeah, I'm fine," I said. I saw Alex mouth something to Sorina. I could tell it was something like, "You know she's lying right?"

I gave him a small, almost imperceptible nod and sat down beside her. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing Sorina. I'm fine..." I promised, still lying though of course.

"Mm-hmm." I smirked. "Did you know I'm wonderful at reading expressions?"

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"You're lying,," I said flatly. "Give it up."

"No I'm not..." I said softly. "I'm fine Sorina. Don't worry," I told her calmly.

I sighed in exasperation and glanced at Alex. "Tackle her, please."

"Do you mind if I slap her?" he asked through barred teeth. I cringed a little.

I raised an eyebrow. "Sure, have at it."

He turned me quickly and slapped me across the face. My eyes widened. "I told you not to lie..." he growled. "You told me not to lie to you..." I said softly. He slapped me and had me look into his eyes. I started to cry hard. "I'm-I'm sorry... I-I just don't want to upset you... I don't like talking about stuff like that or confessing them because I feel like I'm hurting or depressing others. I'm really sorry..." I sobbed softly. Alex held me close and tried to soothe me. I knew he really didn't like to hit me but I know he also felt he had no other choice. It was the only way he could correct me. I understood. I could feel him trembling slightly. I knew how much he was hurting from doing that. I looked up at him and I truthfully and honestly said, "It's fine... I understand..." He pulled me closer and continued to try to soothe me.

"Crystal," I said softly, hugging her gently. "It's all right. I can handle it, trust me." I can handle more than that.
