She's not my sister

Chapter 35 - Well behaved?

"You know I know who you really are, ain't need to lie
The universe couldn't keep us apart
Why would it even try?
Don't let them hurt you ever
I know you far too smart
Before things come together, they have to fall apart"

Alix's P.O.V.

- "What?!" I exclaimed with opened eyes has Harley told me the deal she made with my dad.

- "Please don't freak out Alix, I know it doesn't sound good, but it was the best option." She tried to calm me down by taking my hands in hers and squeezing them gently, she looked calm but concerned with me.

- "What the fuck Harley?! I just got you back and now you're basically telling me you're leaving me again? How can you be so calm." I said and felt the need to get up, but when I looked at Harley I couldn't help but sight and stay put.

- "Alix, I'm not going to move continents and be more than five thousand miles away from you because I'm sure we can do this. I know it." She said softly, it almost seemed like she was pleading for me to understand her decision.

- "But, Harley, it never worked before because we were never strong enough to stay away from each other. What tells you we'll be able to do it this time? I just, I don't want to lose you." I said and felt something weighting on my chest at the thought of her leaving.

- "That's not going to happen, we'll be careful and try to spend time outside the house together. School is almost over, we'll get out of here if we can, we'll be together everyday, we just have to stay away from each other at home. I know I'm crazy, but I just want to be with you and have everyone be okay with it, so, until we can find a way to sleep in the same bed everyday, we just have to control ourselves." She said with a smile now and I couldn't help but to let myself smile shortly at the tought as well.

I got up now and for a moment she furrowed her eyebrows trying to understand what I was doing. I went to my desk and opened a drawer, inside there was a small silver box, I took it out and put it behind me moving towards Harley. Kneeling down in front of her we stood at the same height now and I gave the box to her. She looked at me with furrowed eyebrows and hesitated before opening the box. Inside were two rings, the one she had given me and another ring, one I was already planning on giving to her. It belonged to my mom and it was the only thing I still had from her.

Vovó's ring, the one Harley gave to me, was probably more antique than the one I gave to Harley, but both of them weren't from this century surely. The ring Harley gave to me was a Diamond and Sapphire Platinum Engagement Ring and the one I was going to give to Harley was a French Sapphire Diamond Silver Gold Engagement Ring.
