Letting Go

Chapter 3 Telling the truth

  Hey! I'm going to start using POV'S to give a little background on the characters in the story and also highlight their feelings. Alex is introduced in the story as Aaliyah's boyfriend. They are on and off constantly because he is yet to reveal himself to her. All I can say is expect the unexpected! Picture of Alex! Just picture him brown eyes and hair a little longer. And less jewellry!
 

  Alex's POV  

     I stare at Aaliyah, the beauty in front of me. I love her so much, it's hurts me that I'm keeping my past from her and that I made her cry and angry at me. I've been trying to talk to her for about a week now. She ignored all my calls and texts. On the outside, I look like I don't have feelings, but trust me, I do. After what happened to my sister, Alice, I became very protective of her and she understands why. I went to the South Haven Juvenile Delinquency Centre for 3 years. I killed the little scum that raped Alice. I remember that day like it was yesterday.

  Flashback
  Alice was beautiful and  carefree. She had skin so soft, a baby's butt would be put to shape. Beautiful blue eyes that remind you of the ocean, long blond hair, as light as the sunshine and lips that shame the beautiful pink rose. Little did he know, she was being watched and preyed on. That ill-fated day came, a day he thought would never happen.
  He came home from football practice to a dark house, way too dark. "Alice!" he yelled frantically. "Alex!" he heard feebly. He ran up the stairs and went to her bedroom door, which was cracked slightly. Adrenaline ran through his veins. He was scared. He went in hesitantly and saw his sister laying on the floor, almost unconscious. Bruised hands and feet and claw marks between her legs and dry blood..... Her eyes were swollen and puffy. Her voice was hoarse from her yelling and trying to fight him off. "Alex" she called weakly. "Don't move" I demanded. She layed still. I cleaned her wounds and bathed her and put her to bed. I knew I was going to do something bad but I never thought I'd kill him, Dave, the little monster that broke my sister.
    End of flashback
    Aaliyah's eyes were like dark coals burning through my troubled soul. I never told her this because I'm scared  of what she'll think of me and I'm  even more scared of losing her. "What the hell do you want from me?" she questioned harshly. I inwardly flinched at her tone. "I want you to listen to what I'm about to say" I said. "Is it something bad?" she questioned timidly. I nodded. "Let's go somewhere private" I said, not wanting the whole school to be in my business. "Okay", she replied. Aaliyah turned to her best friend that she'll be back in 10 minutes. I led her to my "hideaway" where I often went to reflect on my past. "What is it you want to tell me?" Aaliyah asked, scared.  "I killed someone" I said. "It's been killing me not telling you this, because I'm scared of what you'll think of me and I don't want you to leave me either." "When we're you going to tell me this?" Ali yelled. "I love you, yet you hide this from me!" "Did you think I would just run and leave you?" "I'll always be here no matter what" Ali said. I kissed her passionately and a couple tears fell from my eyes. "You're crying" Ali said. "I love you so much, Ali. I can't bear to lose the one good thing in my life. You make me happy and you don't pity me or treat me like the floor you walk on and I love you even more for that". Aaliyah kissed me with longing, I kissed her back with an equal amount of need as I pressed her to the wall gently, not breaking the kiss. "Alex" she  moaned softly. Damn! I needed her. She kissed my neck softly and I moaned in response. "Let's go before I jump you here" Ali chuckled. I really love this girl.
 

Jamie's POV 

  I waited for Ali and Alex to return. Just as I was about to go look for them, the two lovebirds come strolling, hand in hand and Ali kissed him on the cheek. "My eyes!" I exclaimed dramatically. "Oh shut up! Like you don't ogle Sean with your eyes!" Ali exclaimed. I blushed and looked away. It wasn't completely true, but I stared at him because I was curious about him. I wanted to know him, be friends with him. "Ha, I knew it!" Ali exclaimed and snapped me out of my trance and apparent train of thought. Again, I blushed and didn't say a thing. What's wrong with me? I'm not usually the girl to pay this much attention to guys.

   The bell rang, telling us it was time to go to class. Aaliyah and I had Chemistry, and Alex had Biology. Mr. Daniels was not at school, but left work for us. Ten minutes later, Sean walked in slowly, looking around the room until his eyes rested on me. I glanced away first, still feeling his eyes on me. I looked up again and "ogled" him. His tousled brown hair was slightly damp, his abs were well defined  through his dark blue cotton shirt and his jeans hugged him like a glove. His brown eyes met mine again and I bit my lip nervously. His pink lips formed a slight grin and I could have sworn I died! What the hell is going on?
    Sean's POV 

  I walked into Chemistry class slowly and the same girl from yesterday caught my attention. I stared at her because I've never seen this girl before. I took in her fiery red hair, her brown eyes, her full lips that I wanted to kiss until she forgets her name. Where did that come from? She stared right back at me and bit her bottom lip. I could have sworn I got a hard on instantly. Don't bite your lip! I wanted to say, but I couldn't because I'm so nervous you can hear my heart. I walked quickly to my seat and sat down.

Jamie was her name, the beautiful distraction I have on my mind. 

  I want her and I will get her.

This  chapter touched me and made me laugh. I enjoyed writing this  chapter very much. I ship Alyex. More to come!
