Alek and Mikhail had found you after months of searching. You were more depressed than upset and angry. You loved them, you loved Mikhail. You always thought if you would've told him your feelings sooner maybe this act their dad set up against you wouldn't have worked. It's not that you didn't want to see Mikhail, you knew that even after him now knowing 2yrs later you were innocent, you could never go back to how things were between you both. Alek was somewhat the mediator between you two. You were hurting but Mikhail was miserable, the lowest he's been. He'd thrown his status, his responsibility to come to you. He so wanted to just make it right again with you but how could he... afterall he was the one who kicked you out, got your dad fired, ruined your family's life and reputation. He couldn't face you after this. Nonetheless he'd just stay outside your door on your porch for days. Alek would sit with you inside. He always knew you'd never do this but he stayed shut because the CCTV footage was depicted and acted out in such a way, it was too real. Alek always saw you more as an older sister and growing up he was observant and aware of the tiny crush you and Mikhail had on each other.

You were inside your house. Alek next to you. Mikhail outside on the porch. It took every ounce of him not to barge inside and beg on his knees for your forgiveness, do whatever for you to forgive him, but the guilt of facing you was too much. He kicked you out in a blind rage and now setting foot inside your house was like walking barefoot on burning needles. He wouldn't come in unless you asked. At this point he'd throw himself off a cliff and repeat it 5 times if it meant you'd just let him see you.
