Alpha Nasser

Chapter 28: Never to trust him

I stumbled out of the training field, my heart heavy and my mind foggy. I didn't know where to go or what to do. I felt like I had no one to turn to. I couldn't go to Sarah, because she had her own problems to deal with. And as for Alpha, he was the source of my pain.

I felt so stupid for ever thinking that I could be with him, for ever thinking that he could ever care about me the way I cared about him. I felt like I had been living in a dream world, and now that world had come crashing down around me.

As I walked, tears streamed down my face. I tried to wipe them away, but they just kept coming. I didn't want to be seen like this, vulnerable and weak. But I couldn't help it.

My phone rang, jolting me out of my despair. I hesitated before answering, but curiosity got the better of me. I didn't recognize the number, but I answered anyway.

A picture flashed onto my screen, and I felt like I had been punched in the gut. It was Alpha, lying in bed with another woman. He wasn't here with me because he was with her. I felt like I couldn't breathe. It was like I had been punched in the stomach.

I sank to the ground, clutching my phone to my chest. How could he do this to me? Did he ever care about me at all? Or was I just a plaything, a toy for him to use and discard when he was done?

I felt like my world was crashing down around me. I had lost Alpha, the one person I thought I could trust and rely on. And now, I was all alone, with no one to turn to.

The tears kept coming, and I couldn't stop them. I felt like I was drowning, suffocating under the weight of my own pain and sadness. I didn't know how to go on, how to pick up the pieces of my shattered heart and move on.

All I knew was that I couldn't stay here. I had to get away, to escape from this pain and this hurt. I didn't know where I was going, but I knew I had to leave.

I was in a hurry to leave, to escape from the suffocating atmosphere that surrounded me. I packed my things quickly, not caring if I left anything behind. My mind was racing with thoughts of Alpha and the other girl, the girls from the training field, and the judgmental looks from everyone.

I didn't want to stay here anymore, in this town that had once been my refuge. I needed to find a new place, a new beginning. I didn't want to be Emily, the girl who was always the subject of gossip and ridicule.

My aunt watched me pack in silence, knowing that something was wrong but not wanting to push me. I appreciated her understanding, but I couldn't bring myself to tell her the truth. I didn't want to burden her with my problems.

As I zipped up my bag, I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. I needed to think clearly about my next steps. I didn't have a lot of money, so I couldn't just travel to a new place without a plan. But I knew I had to leave here as soon as possible.

"I'm going to go for a walk," I told my aunt as I slung my bag over my shoulder. "I'll be back in a little while."

She nodded, looking at me with concern. "Take care of yourself," she said softly.

I walked out of the house, feeling the cool air on my face. The sun was setting, casting a warm glow on everything around me. I felt a pang of sadness as I realized that this might be the last time I saw this place.

I walked aimlessly for a while, lost in my thoughts. I couldn't shake the feeling of betrayal and hurt that was gnawing at me. I didn't know what to do or where to go. I felt like I was stuck in a nightmare that I couldn't escape from.

As I walked, my phone beeped, signaling a new message. I pulled it out of my pocket and saw that it was a notification from a job site that I had signed up for. There was an opening for a waitress at a small cafe in a nearby town.

I felt a glimmer of hope in my heart as I read the message. Maybe this was a sign that I was on the right track. I quickly applied for the job, hoping that I would get a reply soon.

I continued my walk, feeling a little lighter now that I had a small plan in place. I didn't know if it was the right decision, but it was something. And for now, that was enough.
