We stayed like that for a while. I heard footsteps coming from behind us.
"Runa, I-" It was Alexis. She cut off and I could feel her shock, and her watching us. So I quickly pulled away, and wiped the remaining tears on my cheeks. I got up, and turned around to face her. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jaden doing the same.
"Alexis...I...um...told him..." I stammered. Her eyes widened. Her hand flew to her mouth, but not before I saw the corners of her mouth curve up, into a smile. An excited one at that too. I wondered what was going on. She 'almost' ran to me and grabbed my hands tightly, taking me completely surprised.
"You did it? OH MY GOD! Congrats guys! I mean, this is amazing news! You finally got the courage to tell him that you-"
"Alexis!" I almost shouted. She flinched at looked at me, confused. I took a deep breath to calm me down. I mentally kicked myself for not saying the full thing. She took it in the wrong way! Poor Jaden just stood there with his head cocked to one side watching us like a small child, not sure what it's parents were talking about, when they look at him and laugh lightly.
"You are..." I glanced at Jaden. "Completely right! I told him about my past...you were right, it does feel better when you talk about it..." I felt my cheeks heat up. It was hard for me to say that...I knew I could be proud at times (too proud), but still. She looked between us and her she did a small "o" with her mouth.
"Right...heh...I know, I'm always right," Alexis smiled sheepishly. Jaden's expression finally broke into a smile.
"Anyways, let's go now!" Jaden exclaimed, pulling the both of us back to the others.
