Finding My Person and My Reason

Chapter 2: It's her

*Told from Alexander point of view*

(let the cliche begin lol ) 😂

I can't believe what just happened, first I got bumped into what was totally my fault by the most beautifulest women I have seen. Then my "girlfriend" called her some mean names. I know Victoria is supposed to be my girlfriend, but honestly I don't even like her. She is the total opposite of me. But my dad and her dad arranged for us together. Her dad is a big investor into my parents firm and I'm afraid if I end things they will pull their support. At first she wasn't like how she is now, but she has been showing her true colors here lately and I hate them. Today a girl bumped into me, which again was my fault and Vic saw and yelled at her and called her slut. I wanted to apologize to the girl for bumping into her and for Vic, but she ran away crying. That was the last straw

" Victoria really, I bumped into her. Also after dinner tonight at the Lockens I never wanna see you again." She looked surprised.

" I'm sorry babe I am just having a bad day and she almost ruined the only good shoes I have, forgive me?

" She gave me puppy dog eyes. I knew she was lying about her shoes being richer than my family. "NO" I said to her.

" We need time apart so you can fix yourself, I will come pick you up tonight since it was already arranged that you will come with me. But after tonight we are going to take a break, maybe in a week or two we will be better suited for each other and can work it out. If not then well we will go our separate ways" 

Later on that night,

We all reached the Lockens, my dad told me we will be meeting their daughter for the first time since she is finally free from her job. He went on to tell us she is around mine and Vic (nickname for Victoria) age. Mom rings the doorbell and we are greeted into their home. Mr. Lockens greets us and we all head toward the dining room. The table is already set up with some amazing country cooking fried chicken, my favorite. Just as we all sit down the girl from earlier comes out of the kitchen and takes a seat and the very end of the table away from us. I wonder what she is doing here, maybe her daughter's friend.

" This is my daughter Hope." Mr.Lockens says, she looks up and gives us a shy smile.

"So I heard you go to the same school as my son and his girlfriend," my dad says.

" Umm bout that dad ex- girlfriend" I mentioned. Dad gave me that we will talk later look. Down the table I look at Hope, such a beautiful name. I give her a smile. Once we are all finished with dinner mom and dad start talking business with the Lockens so us teens go to her living room and sit down.

I went and sat by Hope, then Vic just had to sit by me on a 2 person couch really. So I sat closer to hope and put my arm around the back of where she was sitting.

" So Hope you say you go to our school but why have I never seen you until today?" I ask her.

" I'm nobody," she whispers.

When I go to ask her what she means my parents come in and it's time to leave. Once I got home and ran from dad (not actually just went to my room before he said anything) to my room. I got on my phone and went to see if I could find Hope. I go through all my followers and find her page. I requested to follow and 5 minutes later she accepted. I scroll through her page seeing mostly her drawings and a few of her singing. She is very talented in both arts, but then I see Vics comments telling her how awful she is.  

(Side note that drawing above, I actually did... I got the image from the internet but drawed it my sketch book, I hope y'all like it)
