Chapter 2

// Alex

My brother, Ace cooked breakfast for me and my dad every morning. But today is different, I felt as if today would be an odd day. I didn't smell the delicious smell of bacon or the sweet smell of pancake from my bedroom.

I woke up earlier as usual so I decided to take a quick jog around the neighborhood. I changed my black colored pajamas into a pale blue tank top paired with black joggers. I grabbed my nike roshe run and started speeding off the tracks.

Running has been an escape from reality to me. It seems that all of my problem and thoughts faded away as I stroll down the pathway. Running let me relax and just enjoy life, as every footstep I took felt like all of my burdens are taken down. But after the running, all those things came back to me and that's why I forced myself to run as long as my feet could bare me. I didn't care how long I took from the running because I simply liked running.

I cleaned myself up, put some make up and immediately text my dad, informing him that I'm coming to his office. When I arrived, I climbed out my car and walked to the elevator. Men and women with business attire spilled out of the lift as its door opened, I just realised that it's lunch. Quickly I pressed the floor of my dad's office was and it felt like hours until I heard the ding!

I am utterly bewildered as my eyes fell into a set of the familiar blue eyes and blonde spiky hair. Many questions were running through my minds. But only two stood up.

Why was he here? What did he need to do with my father?

I saw him entering the office and I sneaked in quietly, trying my best to make no sound. I hid myself behind the couch and eavesdropped their conversation.

"Afternoon Drake, I have bad news for you."

What the hell is he talking about?!

"What would the bad news be Snyder?"

"2 of them are still alive." Snyder, my best friend said with fear laced in his voice.

WHAT IN THE WORLD DOES THAT MEAN? IT COULDN'T BE. IT JUST COULDN'T BE.

"Hmm, so its clear as glass that our deal hasn't settled yet here. I need you to find those two and finished them right there, no whatsoever."

And the perfect timing, I made the couch moved by the weight of my body that was leaning on it. Note the sarcasm. Both of them suddenly froze and it seems like time stops. But their heads turned to where the sound came from which was where I was hiding. They shot each other a worried glance as they found out who heard their entire conversation. I put some unfathomable expression that me, myself can't comprehend. Snyder starts to move towards me and as he was getting closer I took my chance to fly out the room and just hide from the reality. Reality hurts like a bitch.

The fact that the person who I grew up with, who I trusted, who I cared, who I shared my secrets to, who I loved, did what he did was just unbelievable. I can't accept that he is capable of doing something so cruel, gruesome. I understand what he, his family did was not something that can be said not affecting mine. Because of what happened, my life and my families' was turned upside down. But I need to give all the credit to dad who gave us back our life before. I didn't expect that dad will play it this way, I thought he would come to understand that revenge is not the solution for this mess. I would've never thought he will play dirty, not with Snyder. What my dad and as hard for me to deny, Snyder did was unacceptable.

My eyes are focused on the road to my home but my mind were somewhere else. I began to think who are those 2 people who survived from this misfortune. I hope deep down that it was him. Remembering him, was equal to remembering the past. Our first encounter, our little chat we used to have, the day our fathers met. I still remember all of them vividly they were carved upon my mind and it just won't let go. Yes, you could say that I once have a thing for him. Keyword once.

I am a person that run away from problems, I didn't face it right away. I've always been that person who decides to clear up things last minute. I was, no, still am reckless. Drinking has always been my breakout, the feeling when the liquid you gulped down flows into your bloodstream and you felt like flying. I enjoyed every bit of it, as if I was living in an entire different universe without borders and without problems. Well maybe that's why most drunkards depend their lives on alcohols, they wanted an escape.

C'mon you need some drink, loosen up!

My mind said otherwise but I chose to ignore it although I know resorting to this is something incredibly wrong. I turned the car into the other direction heading to the bar my father owned. The bar was absolutely packed, you could smell the strong scent of alcohol. People were dancing, well most were grinding.

I sat upon the bar and call out for a shot of vodka and orange. I gulped down as the bartender gave me the shot. From one, it adds to two, to three, to four, and until I forgot how many shots I took. To say I'm drunk is an understatement, I'm more than drunk. As I began standing up, my body lose its balance. A boy with brown hair and warm, charming brown eye caught me before I landed on the floor. My mind went fuzzy after that, I just remembered that I went in a car and soon I fade to the abyss of darkness.

The sunlight woke me up, I squinted my eyes and sat up abruptly looking my surroundings. First I realise that I don't know where the hell I am and how did I end up here. Second my head was pounding like a mad motherfucker. The door was opened revealing someone I didn't expected.

Oh shit, it can't be him, please no. Please anyone but him.

But like the usual, the mother of universe wasn't on my side. I internally face palmed and gave myself a pat on the back.

"You're awake." He said while giving me an Advil and a glass of water. I just stared at him and my mouth blurted out something that shouldn't be said.
