Unrealistic Reality

Chapter 41: Unrealistic Reality

I wondered how Elliot was. He betrayed me and made me feel like shit, yes, but he didn't know what his dad did to my mom. I wonder how much he changed since the last time I saw him. I decided to go to all my friends today and gather the information I need to find the last letter.

I stood up, still in pajamas and walked to the bathroom. The door opened at the same moment I wanted to open it and it knocked me down on the ground. I rubbed my head and looked up in Nate's concerning eyes.

"Shit Chloe, did I hurt you?" I took in his presence and noticed he was almost naked, except for the towel that was hanging low on his hips. Damn, he was hot. His six pack was drool worthy and that v-line really made my mouth water, but I had to remind myself I had a boyfriend.

When I looked up to his face, I saw the smirk there and I knew I was busted.
"Enjoying the view?" I just rolled my eyes and took his hand to stand up.

"Thanks for knocking me down." I said sarcastically when I rubbed my head again. The playfulness in his eyes disappeared and worry took over.

"Are you really okay? I am so sorry Chloe." I shrugged it off and took his hand.

"No need to worry, I've had more pain." The double meaning of that sentence made me shiver. I knew he understood what I was saying, so he stepped aside and let me in the bathroom. Before I could enter, he grabbed my arm and spun me around.

"Be careful Chloe, pain is something that we all go through, but don't let it change you. Be the stronger person and please, I beg you, don't do stupid things for revenge. It will not end well." His eyes practically begged me and they spoke nothing more than the truth. I nodded my head and he let go of my arm.

What just happened? He spoke as Charlie.

I decided to let it go and take a shower. After all, I needed to be ready for a fight, a heart to heart conversation and a screaming session. The boys have to be careful, because this time, I am so ready to kick their asses in everything.

I am not backing down. Not again.

My first destination was the gym where Grey worked after Criminal Minds burned down. I opened the door and all the man in there stared at me, but I wasn't intimidated one bit. I was used to it after three months in a gang.

I looked around for the familiar face with a scar and when I spotted him, I decided to surprise him. I walked up to him from behind and jumped on his back. He didn't see me coming so we both fell on the ground. I quickly stood up and smirked down at him.

"Rule number two Grey, when you are on the ground, you are most likely hopeless." He turned around and sat up.

"I should've known it was you. You are the only one who is crazy enough to jump on me from behind. Do you want to try it at the front too?" The smirk on his face grew and I just rolled my eyes.

"I am sorry Grey, but I have a boyfriend. I will keep you in mind though, for when we ever break up." I winked at him while he stood up. He walked towards me and pulled me in a hug.

"I missed you girly, didn't see you since... since you know." We all found it hard to speak of his death, so we never really spoke about it.

"Yeah, it was a damn long time, but I am here now. Hey, are you ready for one last fight?" I pulled myself out of his grasp and smirked at him. He made a fist of his hand and smirked down at me.

"Are you sure small girl? I don't want to hurt you." My smirk grew wider and stomped him against his shoulder.

"You won't" Right after I finished that sentence, I kicked him in his stomach. He did not expect this and crouched over in pain. I laughed at him and pointed my finger.

"That's not fair!" He coughed.

"That's true, but life is not fair. Come on boy, don't be such a whimp and fight me."

"Your wish is my command." He lunged at me, but I dodged him, just as he learned me. I jumped around him and tried to kick him in the back, but he already saw that coming and swiped his foot over the ground, letting me fall in the process. I tried to stand up as soon as I could, but Grey already trapped me. He looked me in the eyes and smirked.

"Go on, don't be such a wimp." He repeated my words. I smirked and tried to kick him, but this time, he grabbed my foot and sat on them. Due this, my hands were free and I hit him in the face. Blood sipped out of his nose and he looked at me again. I hit him again and he lost his balance so he fell off of me.

Now I was on top of him.

My muscles were burning, but I wasn't going to give up. I hit him a couple of times more, and he couldn't do anything against me. After a while, I saw I was close to breaking his nose and stood up.

"Are you okay Grey?" He kept his eyes closed and I was starting to get worried. I lowered myself next to him again and kept my face close to his.

Suddenly, his eyes opened and he turned us around. I was too late to react because I was too shocked about him reacting. He smirked down at me again and held up six fingers.

"Lesson number six, sweetheart, never lose focus." The satisfying smirk on his face made me want to smack him again, but I decided to settle.

"Good job though, I see you improved a lot. If you practice more, you will be just as good as I am in a short time. Keep going Chloe and you will be undefeatable." He got off of me and offered me a hand to stand up. I grabbed it and he pulled me up. I drank a bit of water and hugged him goodbye.

"Until next time Grey, and then I will defeat you." He wiped his mouth and smiled at me.

"I can't wait to see you try." I rolled my eyes and waved at him. I walked out of the gym, his eyes never leaving my figure.

Boys.

I walked over the streets, with my next destination in mind. I stopped right dead in my tracks when his figure came into my vision. When he saw me too, his eyes widened and he cautiously walked up to me. He stopped right in front of me and let out a shaky breath.

"Elliot" I breathed out.
