A Beautiful Death || Alex + Sparks
He looked up at the darkened sky, glad that it probably hid some of his emotions, then sighed. “I mean it is bad to be lonely, but at the same time it also lets you see how strong you are as a person.” He could account for that. Though he couldn’t pick up on her emotions by her voice and wished he could.
“It’s okay, you know.” He looked off to the side, “The events in your life… I know it may be hard to share them, but I get it.” Not everyone could be him and spill after two hours, he was also soft at heart no matter what hardships he had been through, and he almost wished he wasn’t.
Alex laughed, a bit broken sounding, “For a lot of reasons. Parents couldn’t hold jobs, family started struggling real bad, and I decided that I would take care of it.” He shrugged, tried to laugh it off, pretend it didn’t hurt still.
“It wasn’t a good choice but it paid the bills and fed my sister."
His words made her drift off into her own little thoughts. Wondering if her own time alone had made her realize how strong she was. Her memories alone ended yesterday and she bet it was that same way for Alex.
Her face grew a little flustered. He’d noted her need to be secretive, maybe they just understood each other. Two peas in a pod, even if Sparks had never thought of prostitution as a job to add in her repertoire. Maybe if she hadn’t been a virgin all her life.
As he kept speaking, Sparks really could relate. Though her family never had family problems, they just never wanted to share with her.
"Well the ends justified the means,” She smiled to him, and even knowing this did not change her opinion of him.
He’d survived so much, Now he had to live through hgh this. Had to live without his sister.
Things like this reminded her how awful the world was.
