[Chapter 6: Truth and Consequences]

It was late night and Christian layed down on his bed with his eyes wide opened. His mind still stuck on his fight with Alex. Maybe he was a little too harsh. Maybe he jumped to conclusions too fast. He did know Alex for a longer time than Amanda.

But why would Amanda lie? What would she accomplish by doing this? No. She wouldn't do that, she's an innocent girl who just wants to continue with her life as it is.

Christian groaned at all the thoughts that were going through his mind. He sighed and removed his phone from his pocket. He unlocked it and went to contacts searching Alex's name. Once he got it he clicked on call.

The phone rang a couple of times but Alex didn't pick up. He tried again and he received the same results. He did it a couple of more times and when he received no answer he gave up throwing his phone on the bed. He ran his hands through his face groaning and layed back on the bed.

♡

Alex sat in her car with her seat back her eyes wide open. She was still stuck on the fight that she had with Christian. The slap that she had given him echoed through her head.

She couldn't believe that Christian believed Amanda and not her. Christian, her only friend she's ever known her entire life didn't believe her. Her thoughts got inturupted by her phone ringing.

She sighed looking at the caller ID which said 'Christian' making her decline the phone call not in the mood to talk to him. Her phone continued ringing making her decline the call every single time until he stopped calling. If Christian was going to accuse her like that he can talk to himself.

Alex leaned back onto the seat closing her eyes.

♡

The next morning when Christian woke up he thought that Alex would have come back by now. But her room was untouched making it show that Alex hadn't come back the entire night.

He looked at his phone and saw no messages or calls from her. He sighed. "Where the hell are you Alex?"

His phone started ringing and without looking at the caller ID he picked different up thinking its Alex. "Hello Alex where the hell are you?"

"It's Amanda."

"Oh." He sighed. "Sorry uh what's up?"

"Is everything okay you sound tense. Is it something to do with Alex?"

"Uh no it's nothing we just had a little quarrel. Did you want something?"

"I was just wondering if you wanted to come and have coffee at my place today?"

"Yeah sure I'll be there in 20." He hung up the phone.

♡

"And now your 50th case is of us?" Andrew nodded. Alex walked alongside Andrew in the park as children played around them. Alex had a bottle of water I'm her hand drinking it when she felt thirsty.

"Could I ask you a question?" Andrew asked her.

She looked at him and nodded. "Did you and Christian have a fight or something?"

"Why do ask that?" She looked at him confused as to how he knew that. Maybe he was a great detective.

He chuckled. "Your face is yet stained with a little tears I think you forgot to wash off..." She wiped her cheek. "Your yet wearing yesterday's clothes..." Alex looked down at her clothes. "...which is kind of off because as far as I know you you don't like wearing the same clothes twice. And you've been a little too quiet today."

They stopped walking and Alex sighed smiling a little. "You were born to be a police officer weren't you?"

He shrugged smiling but not denying the statement.

"So you wanna tell me what's wrong?"

♡

Christian reached Amanda's house in 20 minutes just like he said he would. He knocked on the door and after a few seconds Amanda opened it smiling at him and pecked his lips.

She took his hand and pulled him inside the house. "Come on." She shut the door.

They walked inside, Christian sat on the sofa and Amanda brought him a cup of coffee.

"Your coffee sir." She handed it to him making him smile. " 2 creams 1 sugar just like you like."

He nodded and took a big sip. He looked at her and sighed putting the coffee on the table. "Can I ask you something?"

She nodded gesturing him to ask.

"The thing you told me about Alex.... was it the truth?" He asked.

"Wha--" Before she could finish her sentence Christian saw something making him get up and walk towards the pictures that were on her wall.

♡

Alex told Andrew about the fight that she had with Christian making him understand her situation and what was going on.

"Alex do you think that Amanda did this just so that you and Christian could get into a fight?" He asked her.

Alex looked at him. "Before I answer that are you going to use it against us to put us behind bars?"

"Maybe." He shrugged. "It's a matter of trust Alex. Do you trust me?"

"Do I trust a police officer?" She asked raising an eyebrow. He nodded. She sighed looking ahead as they both started walking. "Yeah I think Amanda wanted us fo fight."

She looked at him. "Maybe she wants Christian to herself."

"Alex..." Andrew sighed sadly. "I need to tell you something about Amanda."

Alex looked at Andrew confused and he had a guilty look on his face.

♡

Christians eyes widened as he looked at the picture on the wall. "Uh Amanda?"

Amanda looked at him smiling. "That's my father." The picture was of Amanda and Henry Louis. The man that Christian shot and killed the other day who tried to get him to join his business.

"He's your father?" Christian asked. Amanda stood up and walked towards Christian nodding. "Yeah he's my father why do you know him?"

Christians phone started ringing making him startle and remove his phone from his pocket. He looked at the called ID 'Alex'

He picked it up.

"Christian where are you?"

"I--" Before he could answer his head got dizzy making him drop his phone onto the ground and hold his head.

He looked towards Amanda who just smiled at him. He stumbled back hitting the chair that was in between. He looked at the coffee on the table making him realize that there was something in that and with that he fell onto the ground completely unconscious.

"Christian are you there? Christian answer me please! Christian!"

Amanda looked at the phone and angrily stepped on it with her heels and with a lot of force breaking it instantly.
