Addiction (Relaunch)

Chapter Five : Haunting Past

***Alexander's POV***

"And you? What do you know about love?", I whispered as I bite my tongue, supressing my anger. If she wasn't a girl, she would be on the floor bleeding. I left the apartment as anger builded in me. I can't stay. I'm afraid of my actions. I'm afraid if I stay longer, she would get hurt. I grabbed my keys and head for the door, slamming it behind me as I left. Unlocking my car door, I drove away. Far away from that little-.

'People like you disgust me' her words haunt me. I punched the wheel of my car. Me? Disgusting. I drove on for a really long time. I'm unsure of where was I heading. I need to calm down is all I know.

'Stop denying. People like you are disgusting. I definitely feel sorry for you. I doubt you even considered falling in love and every girls you meet are just your playmates. You better thank God for giving you such good looks to accomplish these dreams of your—' another version of her blunt words came hitting me like a wrecking ball. Fuck. What does she even know about me. But her words got to me. 'Maybe she was right. I never considered love.'

Suddenly my mind thought of my missing girlfriend or ex-girlfriend in Georgia. I feel betrayed. The girl I once loved left me here feeling like shit. What more can I say. I should have known long distance relationship wouldn't work. Heat building up in me as I thought of her leaving me wounded because she never return my calls nor messages. Maybe what Liam said was right. All girls care are money and sex. Fuck women. They think they can outsmart me just because I'm a fucking Lincoln. I flashed back reminscing the moments her and I had together. I thought she was different. 'LIES!!!' She is nothing but a gold digger. I shouldn't have let her convince me to let her go to Georgia. I shouldn't have lend her a huge amount of money. I ask nothing in return but only her and her feelings. I hate my life. Everyone around me is fake. That is why I moved out from home. I press on the accelerator and drove downtown.

"Glad to see you here. I thought you'd never show up.", Liam said, punching me lightly on the chest. A blonde is wrapped around his waist. "No worries mate. I forgive you.", Liam said patting me on the shoulder. I shrugged him off, ignoring him as I head towards the entrance. I have no time for a talk now. I need to beat someone up.

"Alex...Its been long mate. Gonna fight today?", Greg asked me. They know I will win. He was just hoping to get more money from me. "What else would I be here for huh?", I said in an arrogant tone. He took a puff of his cigar. "Okay mate. Keep that fire in you." he grip my shoulder and snapped his finger. A lady in red approached. Greg whispered something to her. She looked at me and smile. "Francesca will lead you the way", Greg said introducing her to me. "This way, handome." she requested. I followed her from her back until we reach a small confined room.

"This is your locker.", she said handing me a pair of keys. I took it. "Let me know if you need any of my help, handsome.", she left as she gave me a flirtatious look. These women are annoying me. I punched the locker beside me.

"I'd thought you never come." a voice so familiar made my blood boil. "Fuck off, Tyler.", I said angrily. He laughed.

"Ohhh...Where did you get that anger from. Your momma." Tyler laughed harder. I shot him a deadly glare. "Man, you oughta chill out. You're such a temperamental piece of crap." Tyler said amusingly. I ignored him, turning away. My back facing him. I strip down to my pants.

"Love is for losers. Do you want to know a secret Alex?", Tyler said, taking few steps forward. "The only thing I want is you lying on the floor bleeding." I scowled, gritting my teeth. He laughed.
