Her tough guy... his rebal

chapter 19 - the part where I have to let you go...

"Hey, what's up? how did you sleep?" I said generally curious

"I slept well I have been thinking tho and I was wanting to talk to you," he said and I was starting to get a little worried

"ok I hope it's nothing bad I love you," I said getting seriously worried

"well I was thinking and I think that maybe we should get out of town for a few days and just be us for a while. what do you think?" he asked me

"I mean yeah we can but how long?" I said wondering because I need to stay here and run my empire and get rid of Nathaniel.

" only a couple of days maybe a week why?" he asked me and I knew I couldn't tell him the truth so I white lied to him.

"Because I can't lose my empire. I can't be gone too long or lose everything and I can't do that." I told him

" ok I understand that we will only be gone for a week at the most and at any time you feel like you need to come back we will no questions asked," he said with his charming smile and his cute being to laugh

"ok I love you, Ace, I really love you," I told him and I do and that is why I have to get rid of Nathaniel

"I love you too baby," he said and he just looked at me like I was the love of his life and I don't want that to change so I have to get rid of Nathaniel once and for all

so I got into our room and decided to watch some Grey's Anatomy it always helps me think. what am I going to do about me and Brook she hates me for getting with Ace but I knew getting with him was the best option. I miss my best friend.

on the phone...

"Hey, can we talk please?" I call up wolf

"yes hey what up?" he said and I couldn't be more thankful

"so Ace is taking me on a very small vacation and I need someone to run things while I'm gone I would call Brook because he is my right-hand woman but as you know me and her are not on the best of terms so I was wondering if you would do it while I am gone. I should only be gone for a week at most," I said hoping that he would say yes and make things easy on me.

"yes I will but Riles running from this is not the best way to do things and leaving will only make things worse. I would think about not going on vacation right now" he said and I knew what he was saying was right but this wasn't my idea

"Wolf this was not my idea this was all on him because I think he is worried that since I'm so close to Nathaniel last nig0ht that he should take me on vacation and get me to spend more time with him so I don't go back to Nathaniel," I said with total honesty and trust that he won't tell anyone

"ok but I'm just saying. and that isn't good that he is doing that because he should trust you and stuff riles I don't think that is a good idea and I think that your should stay here and fix things here," he said and maybe he is right

"I will think about what you said but you're probably going to have to take over because he did say if I need to come back at any time there would be no questions asked and we would leave and he is not letting up on this," I said with an annoyed tone

"riles I know you don't want to hear this but I think you're going to have to end things with Ace," he said with a sad look

"I think so too but I don't know what to do. I want to see where this goes you know?" I told him very sad and about to cry

" I know Riles and it's going to be ok," he said with an ensuring look

"I just wish Nathaniel would go away and stay away...I don't want him to keep coming back and ruining things for me. I love him and I always will but this is the part where I let him go. After everything he has done I need to let him go and so does he...we both need to go our separate ways. and I hate that because he was my best friend and I trusted him and loved him with everything I had in me. he has messed me up so badly that I am not going to be able to be the person I was before him after everything he made me stronger but I can't go back to the person I was before him..." I said and I'm being completely serious.
