Then, I heard footsteps, rose to run off again, and bumped into Alice.
~oOo~
I blinked back the rain and tears in my eyes.
"Alice! What…" I stuttered, "What are you doing here?"
She wore a raincoat over her outfit and held a small umbrella in her hand.
"I came to see if you were okay." She replied.
I sniffled and wiped my nose with the back of my hand. "You don't get to do that, considering you didn't even stand up for me when your brother just trashed me. Go away, Alice."
She sighed and closed her umbrella to come stand next to me.
"If anything, he feels really bad about what he said to you. He was just upset because he felt useless out there trying to figure these Shadows out. But he didn't mean to take it out on you. And he's really sorry."
"Yeah, well where is he? Why doesn't he come out here and tell me himself?"
"Because he loves you and he's scared. He's using that tough exterior to hide his true feelings for you."
