Perdóname ~ A Prince Royce Fanfiction

17 ~ Pain

*ALEXANDRIA'S POV*

Have you ever realized how some people, they just don't belong in your life? They have totally opposite movtives from yours? Yet they mean the world to you. You'd probably die for them.

It was a mild summer day in Texas. My dad had the barbecue running in the backyard, Geoffrey and his family decided to come down for a get together.

"Alex how you been?" Geoffrey came by my side. I was letting the fence hold me up.

"I've been better." I looked up at Geoffrey and gave him a weak smile. Geoffrey's expression turned to concern.

"What's wrong?"

"Life," I looked down at the strands of grass being pushed by the breeze.

"What exactly in life?"

"Almost everything." I could feel my own frown.

"Well I'm here if you wanna talk." He suggested.

"It's Jacob," I made direct eye contact with Geoffrey.

"Jacob? Have you even seen him? It's summer, why are you worrying about him, you two are north and south of each other now," He too came and let the fence hold him up.

"I know but---"

"But?"

I turned to look at him. He had worry in his eyes and I knew that I'd get him more worried.

"Can we go inside?" I asked. I couldn't talk out here since everyone was out here.

"Of course, if that makes you happy," He pushed himself off the fence and helped me up. We made our way inside our little summer home and closed the door.

"What happened?" Geoffrey leaned on the door.

I lifted up my shirt, revealing my injured side. Under my shirt, I hid a dark blue, almost black bruise.

"HOLY SHIT ALEX WHAT THE FUCK?" Geoffrey slapped his hand to his mouth and gasped loud.

I pulled it back down and looked everywhere but at Geoffrey.

"Please don't tell me it's what I think it is," Geoffrey closed his eyes and silently prayed.

"Depends," I played with the end of my ponytail.

"Did--- did he do that to you?"

"Clarify he."

"For God's sake ALEXANDRIA, DID JACOB DO THAT TO YOU?" He yelled while pointing to my side.

I bit my lower lip and slowly nodded.

"That's it, ese ijo de puta is gonna hear it from me once we---"

"GEOFFREY NO!"

"What do you mean 'Geoffrey no?' You DON'T want me to come after this niggas life? That's the LEAST he deserves Alexandria. How do you NOT want me to come after him huh? You think ima sleep peacefully knowing your boyfriend is out there enjoy life while you're over here SUFFERING? Why the hell did he lay a FINGER on you Alexandria? Why did you LET him hit you? Alexandria, I'm trying to look after you! But you need to LET me! Explain to me why you think he can be let loose like that?" Geoffrey was pleading now. I knew he hated Jacob's guts with a burning passion at this point.

"Geoffrey, I love him. I love him and have hope that he might change," A lonesome tear cascaded down and disappeared. I too was pleading Geoffrey not to do something crazy "Geoffrey just let it go. He'll change and we can all forget this," I smiled.

He laughed but it sounded like a tired laugh "You've been together with this piece of shit for three years now Alexandria and has he changed? I'm trying to say, will he ever really change? Its been three damn years Alexandria and it finally came to this point. From yelling at you and abusing you verbally to hitting you? Hell no Alexandria, you shouldn't take his bullshit. You are much too good for this. You deserve a loving man," Geoffrey crossed his arms, making himself look like the bigger person. And I knew he had a great point so I didn't try fighting bad. Instead, I threw myself in his arms and let out a little sob.

"I love him," I repeated.

"He's toxic. He doesn't deserve a spot in your life," I let Geoffrey's words sink in. I was so stupid for letting Jacob do this to me. But I really did have hope to see him change some day. That some day would come soon, I told myself everyday.

"Promise me you won't go back to New York and do something stupid."

"I can't promise that because we know damn well I'll break that promise."

"If he hits me again Geoffrey I'll let you beat him up but for now keep your cool please," I looked up with sad eyes.

"Please," I repeated.

Geoffrey sighed and closed his eyes "If only you didn't beg me so much to not beat him up," He looked back down to me "Fine Alex fine but por favor tell him if this shit lays another finger on you. Please," He mimicked my pleading.

"Fine Geoffrey," I laid my head on his shoulder and let his warmth melt away my pain.

The rest of the night Geoffrey kept making jokes, silly faces, and funky dance moves just to keep me laughing. And for once I completely forgot about Jacob. I enjoyed myself and the ones around me. Everyone was laughing and talking and just all around having a great time and I think that's another think that brought me happiness. That day was surely on my top best days of my life.
