"Why did you do that Justin?"

"You need protecting that's why I'm here and I didn't want to see you get hurt" I fell unconscious and was out for a couple of days but when I came to Alyssa was sitting by my side sound asleep, I got up and gently pick her up and placed her into the now empty bed I pulled the blanket up over her, I moved slowly to the fountain I didn't see her then I moved out to where I had been sitting at the other day, there she was starring up at the moon.

"Would you like some company?" she jump at the sound of my voice and then she turned around

"How are you feeling Justin?" I sat down beside her

"Well I still hurt but I don't think anything's broken"

"That's good" as she look at me

"Has Alyssa been there the whole time I was out?" she shook her head yes as she laid back into my chest

"The moon is beautiful tonight isn't Justin?"

"Yeah it is but it's not the moon I'm looking at" she turned and look at me, she ran a hand down my cheek I closed my eye's thinking of how Alyssa use to do it and I miss it I miss every think about her

"You're thinking about Alyssa Aren't you?"

"Yes"

"Then why did you?" I put my finer on her lips

"Beauty should be complimented every now and then" she turned back around and laid back into my chest I stayed awake the whole night with her; Princess Shayla turned and she looks at me.

"What are you thinking about Justin?"

"Umm...about your last protector something must have happened to him and that's why I'm here."

"His name was Merrick, I don't really know what happened to him" as tears streamed down her cheeks, I pulled her into me

"Shh...It will be okay" as I rock her back and forth she was right at my ear when she whispered

"We were in love"

"I'm sorry I didn't know that, it must be hard on you not knowing what happened to him" I held her close to me as she cried even harder as I keep rocking her, Princess Shayla finally stop crying

"Justin can I ask you something?"

"Sure"

"Are you going to stay here with us?"

"Yes I'm staying here, it looks like you need a person that you can really talk to"

"Thank you Justin"

"No problem" I had learn a lot in a short time I fell asleep with her in my arms, I woke to a soft hand running down my cheek, I slowly opened my eye's

"Alyssa"

"Yeah, how are you feeling?" I look around and there was no sign of Princess Shayla.

"Better now" as she sat down beside me, we both went to say something

"Go ahead Alyssa"

"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry and that I never wanted to hurt you"

"I know Alyssa, you had no choice but that day you told me that it was over I couldn't understand why, I started thinking that it was something that I had did"
