Chapter 45: Eclipse

Alice

Everything made sense, his tattoo, his scars, his hatred toward my family, I've been living with a monster my whole life, and my father kicked Aaron out because he himself was afraid to be around him.

Uncontrollable tears rushed down my face as I rushed out of the Mayor's Castle but to no surprise paparazzi were already flashing my face with pictures, I rushed past them as they shouted questions at me.

"Alice, did you know?"
"Alice, where are you going?"
"Alice anything to say-"

I ignore them and keep running.

Greyson

Angry tears slip from my eyes as I rush down the road, multiple cops' cars following behind me as I call for Alice, her phone instantly going to voicemail, "Come on Dollface answer" I pleaded as my vision blurred, Conrad and Liam including Lucian followed behind em in their bikes while I gesture to turn.

When suddenly a cop car swerved in front of me, I quickly swirled off the road into an exist while the guys separated for me.

Fuck!

I dial Alice's number again hoping she will answer but deep down I know she won't, I release a roar as multiple cars try swerving me to stop me, and multiple paparazzi on the road trying to catch a glimpse of me speeding down the road.

As expected she doesn't answer, fuck dollface where could you be?

❆

After hours of hiding from the cops, trying to find out where dollface is, I realized, she's where she could let all her anger and sadness out.

The Rink.

I ran down the hallway as fast as I could, Frankie letting me inside, I guess he hadn't heard the news, I sprinted inside the rink, the chilling cold hitting my skin within a second-

When my heart dropped to my stomach, in the middle of the rink, sat Alice, on the ground on her knees crying her eyes out, her in bare shoes, her hands burning red from the ice, and her cheeks rosy pink along with her nose.

I take a deep breath and slowly make my way inside, "Dollface" my voice trembles, from fear, a sudden tear slipping down my cheek as she slowly glances up at me.

Her eyes were red and swollen from how much she had been crying, when she suddenly stood up, nearly slipping but supporting her weight.

"Dollface I'm so sorry-"

Before I could finish my sentence, she jumped straight into my arms, wrapping her arms around my waist while I tightly hugged her back, her sobs crying into my chest while I laid my chin over her head, "Why didn't you ever tell me" she cried, her voice breaking and stabbing my heart into pieces.

"I don't know..."

"I...I can't"
"What?" My voice comes out as a whisper as she pulls away from me, wiping her tears off her cheek with her long sleeves, "I can't do this"
"Dollface what do you-" Before I could take a step forward she stopped me, "My father- Roan hurt you, he broke you, knowing my own blood did that to you"

I knew how she felt, this was my biggest fear, it came true, never in my eighteen years have I been scared but this day, this day changes that, my heart breaks into a million pieces, the puzzle to try and rebuild it is unbuildable.

Tears slipped down my face as she shook her head back and forth, "We can't continue this Greyson"

"Dont say my name like that dollface" My voice trembled, by the tone of her broken voice saying my name, something I don't wish my worst enemy to have to go through.

"We can't"
"We can still be together Alice, what he did to me and my family is not your fault-"

"that's the problem Greyson! I can't stop this feeling, when I look at you I feel blameworthy, knowing my family is the reason why you are traumatized" she shouts, her voice echoing through the rink.

I stayed silent while we maintained eye contact, my legs failing to keep me steady, "The hardest thing that will ever happen to me is losing you, Alice"

Her bottom lip trembles as another tear slips my eye, there are plenty of ways to feel pain and death, but only love can kill you and still keep you alive.

"You can't leave me, Alice, I won't let you"
"Greyson-" She cuts herself off when I fall down to my knees glaring up at her with tears and a blurry yet clear-as-day vision.

"I love you, Alice, I have always fucking loved you, you did nothing but show me what it felt to be alive, what it felt to be loved, and cared for in this cruel world, you made me smile and laugh like I haven't done in years, you filled a part of my heart I thought could never be fixed, you healed my scars"

I then wrap my arms around her waist, my knees burning from the cold ice, "I love you so much I can't lose you Dollface, please dont leave me"

A whimper escaped her lips as she stood still, my arms tightly wrapping around her waist as I cried in her chest which smelled of her signature perfume, strawberries, and cherry.

"Please baby dont' leave me like everyone else"

"I want it to be you Greyson, I so badly wanted it to be you"

Wanted

"But if we stay together, it'll break us even more" That's when she suddenly pulled my arms away from her, and got down on her knee for me, cupping both my cheeks and wiping the tears damped in my skin.

"I found home in your arms, I love you Greyson Graham, and I'll always love you" She then placed a long soft kiss on my forehead, her tears wetting my forehead while she stayed like that for a few minutes.

But before she could walk away from me, I grasped her hand causing her to jerk back, the same electric shot we felt the first day we touched going through both our bodies, "One more kiss please, just one"

She stayed silent as she glanced at me from below, "We can't, goodbye Greyson,"

THE END
