Tears
100 words
A continuation of "She" and
"Touch"
She cried small tears that slid down her face like precious diamonds. She was upset with Alex, really upset. Alex tried to hold her in her arms, but she pushed her away roughly.
"Don't be upset with me," Alex said softly, hoping she sounded sorry.
She wasn't really good at that sort of thing. She hadn't meant to hurt her by uttering the misplaced endearment during an intimate moment, but she'd said it before her mind could warn her of what she was doing.
"But you called me Paige."
"I didn't mean to."
"You never do, Alex," she replied bitterly.

Author's Notes: I know some of you are wondering who "She" is, but I didn't name her because I wanted to leave that to your imagination. I have two more parts that I'll be uploading in these "She" drabbles.
