I'll forgive when I forget ✔️

Chapter Sixteen

Alexa from high school on the side***

Ace's POV:

I don't know why I was throwing all these questions at her. I accused her of so much. After I dropped her off at home I just wanted to kick myself. How could I have been such an as$ to her. I didn't even give her time to explain before I assumed the worst. Now she's going to think that that's how I think of her. But I don't. Oh god no. I'm in love with her. Even if she's not the same old Alexa, she's still her. I thought back to how she licked the side of my face and ran. That's the Alexa I love. The playful open and caring one. She was just so cute. But then you see her fight and she's just so... Empty. Angry. She's like a hallow body just getting through things. I wish I could take back everything I said to her in the car. She must hate me. But gosh. She has a twin! A fu€king twin. You probably wouldn't understand. How do you take the news of the girl you love having a twin? She looks exactly like her. She sure as heck doesn't look like the nerd Alexa described. She's different. She's like a scared little kitten that couldn't harm you. A cute little kitten. What am I thinking! That's Alexa's twin! Stop.

I can't help it. She just reminds me so much of the old Alexa. Okay. I need to stop. I need to go and apologize to my trainee. Yeah that's all she is to me. Not even my girlfriend. Nope. I don't even think I'm in the friend zone. She has her walls so closed that I can't even come in.

I went up to her apartment and started banging on the door. After a while of no answers I knew she wasn't there. So instead I left and decided to talk to her tomorrow in the gym.

Alexa's POV:

I left my apartment and went to the one place I felt safe. Where I could let down a few walls and fix myself.

how could he assume all that sh!t about me? I've never once given him the impression that I'm crazy in love with money. I would never give up my family for money! Even though that's what they did to me. I punched the bag harder. It was swinging back full force but I didn't stop my assaults. I imagined it as Blake's face. And then my dads, my moms and then Ace. The music of course was blasting through the gym. Trying to keep my thoughts to a minimum wasn't working.

Kate. How could she repeat my mistake. How could she become the old me? The one I ran from. How did Blake even find her? Did she fall for him like I had. How could she date my ex boyfriend anyways? Isn't there some type of girl code for that?

How could she abandon me just like my family? She never talked to me at school nor visited. She never replied to my calls or texts. How could your other half just drop you like that? She was my best friend. Always has been. I only had two other friends besides her. Ryan and Amanda. I stopped punching the bag. Instead I leaned my head against it and tried to listen to the upbeat music. Just thinking about them made me sad. They were both of our best friends. After I became popular I saw less and less of them. Ryan I saw the most. Only because he played football with Blake and they were good friends. Sometimes I used to have hope that he would notice. That he would see past the fake frontier I had and realize something was wrong. But no. That never happened. The tears came back and were flowing freely down my face. How could I be crying again? This day just keeps getting better. As if God was playing a sick joke on me my phone started ringing. I bet your wondering how I heard it over the music. The music comes from my phone being attached to the stereo. No one usually called me. Not unless it was for a dr appointment or coach calling to tell me my next fight. But then I remember something. Kate.

I quickly ran to the phone and after seeing no caller ID I picked it up. My breathing was somewhat out of control and I tried to calm down.

"Hello." I spoke weakly into the phone hoping for the best, but thinking the worst.

"Alexa." Her voice nearly broke me. It sounded so far away. "P-please." Her breathing was labored and I heard a sob at the end of the phone.

"Kate. Kate. Listen honey. I'll be right there." I assured her.

"He lives-" I hung up before she could finish. I knew where the dirtbag lived. I ran outside still in my shorts and sports bra. My hands were still wrapped in tape and that was good, because I would need it. I drove like a bat out of he/l to my old home. The place I was afraid to go to after work and school. This time though. For some reason, I wasn't afraid. I was downright pis$ed. I was going to beat the living sh!t out of him and then take my sister to my home and make sure she never sees that lowlife again. I quickly pulled into the endless driveway that leads to a mansion that was stupidly huge. Who needs this much room for a house? As soon as I parked the car, I jumped out and ran to the door. Instead of being polite and knocking or maybe just ringing the doorbell. I did the sane thing and kicked the door down.

I was ready for this. I've been waiting 3 long years for this. For this day.

I stepped into the aery quiet hallway.

I smiled an evil smile.

"Honey I'm home."
