The Future of Princess Sabina
Chapter 29: Sabina, You're Injured!

I was with Alexander in his room, and we kissed excitedly. For the first time in my life, I gave in to the whims of my flesh, and it felt overwhelming. I was so excited about leaving my terrifying Jerusalem journey behind me, pursuing the sensual passion shared among most of humanity, which is crucial to our survival.

I could feel my excitement rising, when Alex took off my shirt, but then he just stopped and looked at me silently. "Dear Sabina, what happened to you?" Alex asked in a concerned voice, deep and rusty, but soft. At first, I didn't understand. I was very aroused, and it made me angry because he just stopped what he was going to do. I looked at him pleading and replied, "But I want you, Alex, why did you stop...?"

He took my hand and looked me deep into my eyes. "Sabina.", he began to speak, looking for words. “You are beautiful torso full of fresh scars and stitches. What the hell is going on with you? " I realized that Alex was right. I had to be in severe pain, as I had arrived from Israel not too long ago and was still dealing with injuries that I had sustained. My brain has been disconnected from physical pain as a mechanism for my 18-year-old tight and delicious body. I could feel the feeling of my bottle being better than mine, and tears flooded my cheeks.

"I almost died in Israel, "I replied weakly.

"Tell me what's going on?" Alex answers. I hesitated. Should I tell you the truth that only my current mother, Ellen Hines, knows? T hat I came from the future; that I was kidnapped and shot several times by Mossad conspirators; and that I was saved by the magic power that was Zeto Crystal? Or, should I tell Alex that I was injured in a suicide bombing incident that took place at the Western Wall? I decided to do the latter and told Alex I was in the hospital in Jerusalem for the rest of my dreadful vacation. If I can't trust my secrets with the person who raised me, I can't share them with Alex, at least at this stage.  “I was injured in an attack ******* on the Western Wall. I came back from Jerusalem yesterday, ” I said clearly.

"Oh, this is terrible. F IRST rape incident with Joshua Harkins, and now this. You've been through a lot, Sabina, ” Alex replied sympathetically. Hearing Joshua's name made me freeze. The last thing I need is a worse reminder. Alex noticed my reaction and hurriedly added: "I'm sorry; I shouldn't have brought it. " I nodded, forced a smile, and asked. "How do you know about Josh?"

Alex hesitated, cleared his throat, and spoke: “I saw Eric Orchard kissing Lindsey McGowan at Joshua's party. I'm thinking that you should know, so I'm looking for you. When I found you, I saw you go upstairs with Joshua. Shortly after you left, there was a huge commotion with the ambulance taking Joshua. I heard that he almost raped you. After that, he had a mental breakdown, broke the mirror, and cut himself with them. What really happened between you two? "

I decided to answer Alex's question, but I ignored the part about my strength, because she didn't know I was a very special girl. “Joshua said he needed to talk to me personally that night. We went to his room, and he threatened to rape me. I begged Joshua to let me go, but he would not. Suddenly he went crazy, kicked the mirror, and smashed it. Joshua turned to self-harm by cutting himself with shattered pieces of glass. That's when I ran away and told her parents, who then called an ambulance. "

Alex nodded and let everything sink in. "Wow... Yeah, I think we're lucky he turned to self-harm instead of harming you, " Alex said in muse. I shook my head and replied:

I noticed that my words were out to intimidate Alex, and I decided to speak a little more gently to him: "But yes. I'd be more Josh hurt himself, than he hurt any other unknowing girl.” Alex nodded, and I decided to change the subject. "Why did you look for me that night, why do you think I needed to know about Eric kissing Lindsey?" I asked.

"I'm. I'm confused. I thought you two were a couple, Eric, and you. I'm angry because he cheated, but then I saw that you went to Josh's room. I was very confused; I didn't know what to do. " Alex answered nervously.

I nodded towards Alex. I realized that Alex wasn't the only one who believed that Eric was my girlfriend. We have always been best friends; we must have seemed like a fun, crazy couple. Alex always admired everything I did, and seeing Eric kiss Lindsey, yeah, it would make him mad, because he hated hating me being hurt emotionally. For Alex, hurting me, or lying to me, is an example of betrayal, and he would never let anyone hurt the girl he always loved. I realized that many things in life depended heavily on a different perspective, because I did not see it from a point of view, until I returned from my crazy adventure in Jerusalem, he said, realize how much I ha d miss Alex, who I kissed a moment before.

"Eric, and I've been close for years, but we've never been romantically involved. Actually, I was the one who introduced her to Lindsey, as Eric told me that he's been into Lindsey for years, ” I told Alex.

Hearing this made Alex relieved, and she spoke, “I feel a bit silly now. I've had a crush on you for years, but you never even looked at me twice, and I thought Eric was your boyfriend. ”

I'm not ready for this HEA r. I've liked Alex for years too, but I never thought about being in a relationship with her, or any man for that matter, because I thought it would strike my true purpose in life. “How can you hide it from me for so many years? What about all the girls you date, don't they also interest you? ” I asked. Alex shrugged and looked away. He replied in a controlled voice while looking out through the window. "The girls, they're only interested in me because of my good looks and money."

I reflected on Alex's statement and replied: “And why do you think that I am I different from them?” "Maybe I was just dreaming, but I think I've seen the real you. I have seen beautiful girls, who can be very popular in class, but otherwise show empathy and kindness towards unpopular children. ” Alex replied in earnest. I nodded and replied, “I guess you are right; popularity and arrogance never interest me. Being good and doing the right thing is all that matters. But you're popular in class, Alex. You are handsome and good at basketball; can you get the girl you want? " “I think appearances can be deceiving. My mother died when I was young, and my father spent most of his time making a lot of money. I guess I was just a lonely kid stuck in an unsatisfactory hedonistic lifestyle. I've really liked your personality, and I've been hoping for years that you'll pay a special interest in me, and be there for me, but you've never been. ” Alex replied. “Well, I'm here now, right? " I answered and looked at her sweetly. "Yes... You finally. Come with me and enjoy the sunset. " It's the perfect place near here, where my mom used to take me." Said Alex. I nodded and I felt a faint warm feeling spreading all over my body as she grabbed my hand. We walked to a beautiful park, on a hill, where we could see the beauty of the sunset at Sydney Harbour.
