Infinity (ENGLISH VERSION)

Chapter 23

He took me to his room and laid me on his bed while he covered me.
My body felt weak and my head was constantly spinning.

,,Britney, I'm so sorry," Mason said as he gently pushed my hair out of my face.

I wanted to answer him, but I was in no condition to do so.
What had he done to me?
What kind of person is capable of doing that to someone while looking at himself in the mirror in the morning?
Aren't you disgusted with yourself?
Does Ace even feel guilty?
I mean yeah, Mason was there in time to stop it, but who knows if I'm the only one he did something like that to.
And what did Mason do that was so bad that Ace wanted to get back at him so badly?

,,Did he touch you?" he asked.

I nodded and he blushed with anger.

,,He wanted to rape me," I said.

I opened my eyes and to my surprise Mason was no longer there.

Shit!

Mason is going to kill Ace.

I didn't mind, but Mason would go to jail and that was the last thing I wanted.
And besides, I still had to find out what Ace meant by that earlier, and if he was dead, it wouldn't do me any good.

I tried to stand up so I could save Mason from making a big mistake.
My eyelids felt heavy and I could only hold my eyes open with strength.
I felt so weak.
My knees wobbled, but I was able to hold on to the door.
When I opened the door, there was no one in the house.

Where had everyone gone?

Jesus.

Did Mason kill everyone?

,,I'm sorry, let me go!" I heard someone screaming from downstairs.

It was Ace.

I tried to go down the stairs, but it was too hard for me.
As I walked down the stairs slowly while holding onto the banister, I saw Mason and Ace in the living room.
My heart stopped when I saw Ace.
He was tied to a chair and he was bleeding from his nose and his face was hardly recognizable because it was so swollen and blue.

,,Mason," I breathed.

He looked over at me and he ran as fast as he could to me.
I couldn't keep my balance and my legs were so wobbly that I felt like I was going to trip.
Mason luckily got there in time and caught me.

,,You shouldn't have come down, you need to rest" he said.

,,You would...get into trouble" I breathed against his chest.

,,We'll be right up baby, just let me take care of something" Mason said, still carrying me in his arms.

,,n-no....Mason...just send him away" I said.

,,No, he wanted to hurt you and he's going to pay for it" Mason said tensely.

,,Please.....Mason just let him....g-go" I breathed.

,,He will pay for it, I promise," he whispered in my ear.

Mason walked, with me on his arm towards Ace and kicked his shoulder to get him awake.

,,Wake up!" said Mason.

Ace slowly regained consciousness.

,,Mason, she's lying, I swear," he said breathlessly.

How dare he say I'm lying?
It's because of me that this fucker is even alive.
Now I wish I hadn't stopped Mason and watched him kill Ace slowly and painfully.
It sounds harsh, but he deserved it.

,,I said get up now!" Mason yelled and kicked Ace's stomach with all his might.

Ace tried to get up, blood was running all over him and he had bruises all over his body.

,,Take your stuff and go, I never want to see you here again, because I swear, if she wasn't here, I would kill you," Mason said.

,,Where do you want me to go Mason?" Asked Ace.

,,I don't give a shit, if I ever get my hands on you again I'm going to the police" said Mason so loud that I flinched.

,,We've known each other for 4 years and you want to kick me out over someone you barely know?" asked Ace.

,,Get the fuck out of my house," Mason said coldly.

,,You all think I'm the evil here, but won't you even tell Britney the real reason I was in jail?" Ace asked and my blood froze in my veins.

What does he mean by the real reason?

,,Shut up!" Mason yelled so loudly that I started shaking.

,,You're not doing her any good and you know it," said Ace.

What does he mean by that?
Yes, we have had our difficulties, but Mason is different when we are alone.

,,I'm telling you for the last time, get out of my house!" said Mason.

,,You'll regret it" said Ace as he slowly walked out the front door, but I wasn't sure if that was directed at me or Mason.

Mason hugged me even tighter to his warm chest on the way to his room.
Luckily, I got there in time and was able to convince Mason not to kill him.

I have no idea what Ace was talking about with Carla and Mason earlier, but I'm going to find out no matter what I have to do.
