The world stopped for a minute. I felt myself rooted to the bed and my stomach twisted. It aroused pain in my chest as my breathing pattern changed. The day had come where I had to face my worst fear; Alex Rae, my toxic obsessive ex-boyfriend.

"You okay?" Hannah asked with a concerned look on her face as she placed her hand on my tense shoulder.

"Yeah, I just have to face him" I lied, when in reality I was mortified.

"I can ask him to leave [Y/N], it don't want him here either" Gia expressed as I quickly passed her in the doorway.

"I don't want to cause a scene, anyway he's Jimmy's bestfriend. I knew I had to face him someday" I replied persisted trying to sound confident as I walked down the stairs with Gia and Hannah following right behind me.

"Are you sure about this?" Gia whispered as we entered the living room. I didn't answer her as I laid my eyes on Alek. He was sitting on the couch so casual like nothing had happened. I just stood in the doorway and stared at him and Jimmy. It felt like seeing him for the first time again, but so much better. Now I knew he's true colors and all this time I had been afraid of how it was going to feel when I laid my eyes on him again. Surprisingly I felt nothing. Not a single feeling of remorse or anything close to regret. I was so relieved I started smiling. Jimmy noticed us and yelled

"Come here girls!"

Alek's intense hazel eyes stared right into my soul. I quickly turned around and felt my stomach twist. The girls walked over to Jimmy and Alek, while I ran to the nearest toilet. It was too late, I threw up all over the bathroom and I felt disgusting. I only had one drink but I think a mix of emotions and impressions were too much for me to handle. I drank some water and curled up on the floor like a ball. I hadn't felt this relieved in years. I felt nothing for Alek anymore, I wasn't even scared of him. This made me realize that I was finally ready to move on, and I knew exactly what I was going to do first

I pressed send and held the phone closely to my chest. My heart was pounding like crazy and I instantly regretted it. What if I didn't want to meet me anymore? Maybe he changed his mind. All of the sudden my phone vibrated.
