Alpha Brysen

Chapter 12

Liz

The thing about alcohol is that, when you're under the influence everything seems better. When you're intoxicated you express yourself not caring about the aftermath. You feel like you are at the top of the world and you own it.That happiness you feel is the best one but it's only temporary. That's the thing with alcohol and drugs, they make you feel but once sobriety hits you it's over and your back to reality dealing with the consequences you did the night before.

I've been drunk many times in my life but never in my life have gotten to the point of waking up next to a person I swore I'd never like. My head is throbbing right now but the urge to throw up is much worse and this asshole seems to be sleeping peacefully.

I looked under the sheets and we are both fully dressed same as last night, so it seem that didn't happen but I wonder what did happen. Another reason for me not to drink alcohol is that I don't remember the events before. Damn either way I have to get out of here before Brysen wakes up.

I sat up on the bed and someone grabbed my hand. Well shit, he's awake!

"Don't you think it's a little bit cruel to leave without saying goodbye?" Fuck, double fuck. I have to put end to this. This game we are doing back and forth, I don't want this anymore.

"Let go of my hand." I told him but he didn't move.

"What's the deal with you?" He seemed genuinely confused.

"Listen Brysen. Our paths have crossed many times till now, but after today I don't think they will. So please let's just go our own way both of us." I said that and got out of the bed. I reached for the door handle but his words stopped me.

"Why would you say that?" He was getting angry from my words and here I thought he would be happy that we won't speak anymore.

"Because I don't like you."

Simple. The lie was simple. But the truth is more complicated. I despised the fact that I slowly but surely started having feelings for him since that night that he stayed next to me. I hated that he was the one I fell for. Both him and I are broken, no good will come if we stay close so it's better this way.

"You are running away." He stated "Run as much as you want and as far as you want but heed my words, there isn't a place where I wouldn't find you. I will come for you even if you are in the depths of hell. Cause you are mine, Lizzie."

I opened the door with shaking hands and left the room but Brysen's words were stuck in my brain. Don't think about it Liz. With your past you can't be happy. He is not aware of it yet but once he is, he's going to be disgusted by it like everyone else. That's just the way it is.

"You need a shower." Bella said as she entered my room. I do need a shower and I also need to clean my room which has become a jungle of clothes.

It has been days since the party, and I took a two week vacation from work but instead spent it at home overthinking. God, I'm miserable. What am I even doing this days.

"I need that pretty blouse of yours that you bought few weeks ago."

"Take it, it's in the closet somewhere." She opened the blinds and the sun hit my face. Guess that made me open my eyes. While Bella was searching for the blouse I noticed she was dressed up more tha usual and had put more make up than usually. She even was wearing heels. She hates heels.

"Where are you going?" I asked her.

"On a date." She replied.

"Since when did you start dating?" I asked her once again shocked.
