❦i don't think i love you anymore - Alaina Castillo❦-------
ALESSIO abruptly stood up from his seat and marched towards Axel's direction with bawled fists and clenched jaw.
Before he could go any further, I stood up and grabbed his forearm to stop him from doing something stupid that might make everything worse. "Alessio, don't," I pleaded.
He let out a heavy sigh and then looked at me. He stared at me for a few seconds and then nodded.
That's when I noticed everyone in the Ballroom was staring at us. Shifting uncomfortably, I pulled Alessio back to his seat and then sat back down.
I felt his eyes still on me even when I wasn't looking.
Knowing he is here after five years makes me feel miserable all over again. Reminding myself that I'm over him and that I don't need him anymore.
But it would be a lie if I tell myself that I don't care. Because I do. I do care for him still. Even after what he has done to me.
He was a big part of my life after all.
My hand was again grabbed by Aaliyah who assured me that everything is alright.
She always does this if she sees me getting anxious around people. That's what she has always done since the breakup.
Calming me down from all the nightmares and panic attacks that I had.
Assuring me that everything is going to be alright.
Just looking at her makes me happy again because I know she's the only person that won't leave me. No matter what.
"Fucking asshole," Alessio muttered loudly enough for us all to hear.
"Alessio," Aaliyah warned sternly. "What? He should fuck off. No one wants him here," he added and crossed his arms over his chest.
A hand was placed onto my shoulder and I slightly turned my head to Don who was smiling at me.
I feel guilty for him. He's seeing all of this while keeping a fake smile on.
He knows who Axel was to me when I met him. He knows what my past is with him which makes everything ten times awkward.
Turning my head back, I took one last glance at Axel who was now seated on the other side of the room with his family and this woman with blond hair beside him.
I guess he moved on.
I sighed and ordered myself a drink.
I need that right now.

After an hour of sitting here while occasionally looking in his direction, I decided I had enough and stood up. I needed fresh air.
