Fearless

The moment we figured John must have kept Liam somewhere near, Alec was already alerting everyone.

Not even one hour has passed and we got the exact location where John is and it turns out that he was sitting right under our nose.

John is hiding inside the building which Alec's grandfather used for the training purposes of new recruits.

Finn has managed to get information that John has ties with some mafia and something went wrong so now they are after his life. It didn't take much to put two and two together that John is willing to giving them those files to save his ass.

"Avery, can I request you something?" Alec speaks quietly, as we both are waiting inside his car for his team to arrive so that they can finally break into the building.

Alec is not ready to take any chances because we have no idea how many men are inside that building and he is not willing to give John any room of escape.

"Don't request me anything which I will not be able to do," I reply without tearing away my eyes from the building which is keeping my son away from me.

"If anything turns wrong, you will leave from here as soon as you can," He says, "Don't worry about Liam, because I swear on my life, I will not let anything happen to him and he will be with you soon."

My heart aches when I hear these words, it is impossible for me to do what he is asking for. I can't leave him.

"Alec, do you love me?" Raising my eyebrows, I glance at him.

"What kind of question is this, Avery?" He narrows his eyes at me, "You know, I do love you."

"So, then even you will do the same thing." I hold his gaze, unwaveringly, "You will take Liam and leave from here."

"What nonsense you are talking?" Anger visible in his eyes, "You are asking me to go without you? I'd never leave you, Avery, no matter what."

"Then how come you can expect me to do the same, Alec?" I humorless laugh leaves my lips.

"It is not the same." He closes his eyes and shakes his head, "I love you-"

"Alec, when will you understand what you mean to me?" Turning my face away from him, I interrupt him, "Can't you see how much I need you in my life?" I sigh.

"Not everything is meant to be said, something are just meant to be felt." Blinking I dry my tears, as I keep staring out.

"Avery..." I hear him say, but I don't look in his direction as my heart is already hurt from his words and I know one look at him and I will not be able to hold back my tears.
