Falling

Chapter 8

the next day I head for work early. we have to work on three engines and fix the lighting of a car.

I meet Zack there and we immediately start working not wasting any minute.

hours pass and we finish the first engine, seven hours pass and we finish all the work we had for the day.

I head back home for a nap.

my body is fatigued, but I'm still going to see Alexa tonight.

I wake up, take a shower get ready, and leave to the club.

when I reach there, I look for Alexa, but I can't seem to find her anywhere.

I set on a bar stool and order a drink.

I glance at the people in the club, until I spot her.

she is dancing with a guy, more like shagging.

I find my way in between the crowd and reach them.

"back away" I warn the guy, he looks like he is in his mid thirties, Alexa is only twenty.

"what the hell!" he frowns.

"I'm telling you to back away before I smash your face" I warn again clenching my fists.

"chill dude" he backs away.

"Ryan" Alexa pushes me back. "you can't do that!"

"yes I can" I'm still glaring at the guy. "who are you spending the night with?" I ask pulling her from her arm.

"I don't know!"

"who is your boss?" I ask still pulling her out of the crowd.

"Ryan! you are hurting me" she yell-whispering. "and why do you want to know who is my boss! "

"I'm not repeating my question Alexa" I say loosen the grip on her arm.

"fine! that man over there" she points at an old man talking with a bunch of men around him.

I walk over to him, Alexa on my heals.

"what are you doing!" she mutters holding me back.

I continue walking over to him.

"Alexa for the night" I lend him six-hundred dollars.

"have fun" he smirks taking the money.

disgusting community. I have no idea why Alexa have to be with them.

I take her hand and leave.

"why did you do that?" She asks once we are out.

"because I don't want another horny man to touch you!" I yell.

she stares for a moment. "Ryan that's my job"

"it will no longer be, now let's go away from here" I say when drunk men start getting out of the bar.

I drive to my apartment angry at the sight of that man-whore dancing with Alexa.

when we reach, I get out from the car slamming the door shut hard.

what does Alexa mean to me, that when I saw her with another man it made me burst?

deep questions keep roaming around my mind.

"Ryan these people are the only ones who are keeping me living, it's my way of living" she explains one hand on her head. "I'm sorry for disappointing you" she tears up.

"I'm not doing this for me!" I say punching my fist into the table, it made her jump of frightening. "I'm not staying here forever Alexa, I might be leaving soon" I breathe. "and when I leave, I want to know that you are safe, that you are not going through all that shit every fucking day"
