"Leave!" Alec shouted. "Everybody leave!"
The doctor immediately left and Gray followed behind him.
I was still in absolute shock of how things are progressing too quickly. Having a tumor in my brain was not part of the plan, having stage 3 brain cancer was not part of the plan, getting pregnant was absolutely not part of the plan.
"I said leave!" Alec growled at Aaron who was as shell shocked as me. He stood there frozen with his eyes glued to mine. I don't know how this happened. I can't read his eyes. I don't know what he was thinking. This could change everything between us. This could permanently change our lives.
He blinked and it was as if he was warped back to the present. It was as if for a moment, his mind travelled to the future.
He challenged Alec's furious gaze. "No" he sternly answered him. "I am not leaving. Whether you like it or not, I am involved now"
In an instant, Alec was already in his space. He grabbed his shirt and with one full swing, his fist connected to his face.
"Alec!" I shouted as I ran to Aaron who was now being pressed against the wall. "Stop!" I tried to push them away from each other but they were too strong for me. Alec had another fist in the air and was ready to land another blow but my presence beside him was restraining him. Aaron tried to push me away with his hand so I won't get hurt.
"Come on Alexander" He challenged him. "Hit me. Let your anger out" he said. He was defenseless. He was wide open.
Another punch was delivered.
None of my cries were getting into him.
"Is that all you have?" Aaron asked again. He was allowing himself to be beaten up all while trying to keep me out of harms way. I slumped down in the floor completely hopeless.
"Asshole!" Alec shouted and he threw out another punch to his jaw. Aaron coughed a little but it did not faze him. "You should have just left when I told you to!"
"Keep going Alexander! Let it all out" he said. "Everything you've been keeping inside. Let it all out!" He shouted.
"You need to know your place!"
"Even if you kill me Alexander, nothing is going to change. Right here, with her, this is my place now"
Alec who was still fuming backed away and had finally let Aaron go. They were both catching their breath. I ran up to Aaron to check up on him. He had a cut on his lip and eyebrow. He was bleeding.
"I'm okay" he said. "I deserve it."
I turned around towards Alec. He was still raging and I feel like anytime he can attack again. I have never seen him this mad. There were plenty of times when his father would push him over the edge but he would maintain his calm and would still think logically.
"What's wrong with you?" I tearfully asked.
"Didn't you want to see a blackeye on him for once in your life?" He humorlessly answered.
I couldn't even think of anything to say to him. I do understand why he would be so mad. We had everything perfectly planned. He and I were partners in everything. We knew what we wanted. We strived for our goals.
Aaron Tyler was never in the equation.
"I know how protective you are of Gabriella" Aaron broke the silence. "I know that you think that I'm just someone who suddenly turns up and messes your plans. But that is not the reason I'm here. Just like you, I'm here because I love her. And I know you are mad because of this news. I don't even know what to do either. And I'm sorry for that. But it already happened, and even if I have no clue of what's going to happen next, I won't leave. I'm going to stay."
