Alex's: Pov
As l walked through the cemetery
Looking at all the headstones.
Carrying my mother's favorite flowers in my hand, l keep telling myself Alex you can do this. I finally spot my mother and father headstones, l read the stone that says devoted wife
Mother. I kneel down laying the flowers down in front of the gray stone, hi mother l know it's been a long time since I've visited you
So much has happened to me over the last past few years
I'm not sure of anything or where l belong. I hope you know there wasn't a day l didn't think about you while I was away
So many times I wanted to call you and tell you l was alive and well. You must've died knowing l was dead, l had to go into witness protection cause my life was in danger. I had to pretend to be someone else, l moved around so many times I lost count. The us marshals had me go by different names to protect my identity, and to keep me safe. I hurt a lot of people, l came back to testify
They wouldn't let me reach out
That was one of the hardest things l had to do leaving everything l know behind
I didn't know how long l was going to be gone, and I took a job working for the ICC task force
Mom the stuff I saw over there was horrible those women were rape and beating, it still gives me nightmares till this day. I know you and Daddy would want me to proud the woman you raised me to be, l don't know who that person anymore but l'm working hard to bring her back. Alex paused for a minute before continuing again, the blonde feels the tears falling down her cheek. Alex didn't bother to wipe them, little did she know Elizabeth heard every word
The older woman heart ache for her Goddaughter Alexandra
