End Game

Exile

Valentina's POV.

It's been a month since the trial, a month since I last saw the Olsens. I can't say I'm fine because I'm not, after knowing the whole truth I feel this emptiness and pain in my chest constantly.

My sister Kylie and Chaces have done their best to distract me and make me feel better, I have started going out to clubs recurrently in the company of my boyfriend or my sisters.

Chaces is the perfect boyfriend, he knows the whole truth about why I was with Elizabeth. I don't like lying to him. When he took me to the cabin I told him everything, he didn't agree with what I was doing but he was still there for me every step of the way.

He has been there for me every night that I cry, on my days when I don't want to get out of bed because the pain is so deep that doing the simple things becomes a difficult task. He holds me in his arms and kisses my head letting me know I am not alone.

I have tried to understand everything I feel but it has been impossible for me to do so, I have the companionship of my parents' dream but it still doesn't feel fulfilling.

The company has progressed in the best way, the employees are happy and we have increased sales as well as creating new designs. I like working here but something doesn't feel right and I don't know what it is.

I've tried not to think about her but it's also impossible, I feel devastated about what I did to her and her family. But I still don't have the courage to face them. I don't know what to say to them, they probably hate me and I don't blame them because I do too.

I've been going to my therapist and talking about everything that has happened, she has helped me but it's still not enough for me to be able to face the Olsens.

I wish I could turn back time and not let the pain and anger get the better of me. But that's something I sadly won't be able to do.

Here I am crying in my boyfriend's arms as he tries to soothe me, he is giving me sweet words of encouragement, as I let my heart out with every tear that falls down my face.

It's a new day and my friend Justin asked Chace and I if we could appear in the video for his new song, that was the only thing that could make me feel a bit better so we accepted.

The song we are going to do the video to is called "one life" and it's really cute lyrics, the video is a homemade thing just showing us as we are which is easy.

I'm doing this because it distracts me and it makes me happy to know that my friend wants me to do something for him, also because I can share more time with my boyfriend and I like that.

Lizzie's POV.

It has been two months since I last saw Valentina, two months in which I have not been able to get my heart to recover from the pain and anger.

Justin has been promoting this month the video of his song that will be released today in a few minutes featuring Valentina.

Just out of curiosity I went in to watch the video, it was her in a white t-shirt of Chace wearing no trousers, Chace was wearing a white t-shirt and comfy trousers, they were laughing while making breakfast, Then in another scene they are in bed cuddling talking about who knows what, in another scene they are sitting across from each other looking in love and it hurts too much. More than I would like to admit.

The video was somewhat intimate, showing what their day to day life as a couple was like, they were giving each other little kisses and smiling all the time, I didn't realise I was crying until a tear fell on my screen. This sucks.

A few days after the video was posted, there were pictures all over the internet of her and Chace going grocery shopping at Erewhon supermarket in Calabasas. The fact that she took him grocery shopping just like we used to do made me even angrier. I hate feeling this way and I hate her.

Valentina's POV

Lately I'm doing my own grocery shopping and some days I take Chace with me. Somehow doing that makes me feel a little better, down to earth and for some reason it makes me think of Elizabeth asking me which tomato looks better, causing a smile to appear on my lips at the memory.

After organizing all the things in the fridge, I grabbed my keys and went to Kylie's house, I'm not feeling well at all today. Once I arrived I threw myself into my sister's arms and started crying.

She took me into her living room and let me cry in her arms, once I was able to stop crying I finally spoke.

"I just don't understand why I can't be happy" I said with pain in my voice.
"Honey, you are going to be, you are still hurting."
"It's just that I have everything my parents wanted from me, I should be happy."
"And what your parents wanted for you is what you wanted?" She asks making me think.
"At this point I don't know" I said sighing "I mean I love the company and what I do, but it doesn't feel right, something is missing me"
"Do you think it's the Olsens?"
"I don't know, before the trial started I felt bad, like I was regretting it, but I went on for the honor of my parents."
"Are you sorry for what you did?" She asks.
"I totally am, I was blinded by rage and pain."
"Do you miss her?"
"I do, every day, I can't stop thinking about her."
"What about the company?"
"I don't know, I feel like it's not where I belong" I said letting a tear fall "you know after she walked out the door of my house that day I felt this void in me that I haven't been able to fill with anything, I would do anything to bring back the time"
"Do you love her?"
"I've fought against how I feel about her thinking that my feelings for her would make my parents disappointed in me."
"What about Chace?" my sister says.
"I love him."
"Valen I think you are in love with Lizzie but you care about Chace" she confesses.
"What should I do?"
"The right thing"
"And what is that?"
"You already know dear" she says giving me a kiss on my forehead.
