Race to the Finish

Race to the Finish chp. 62

~ Titi's POV ~

I had to leave that room.

I was just so fucking mad.

I don't even remember the last time I've been this angry. I've definitely never been this angry towards Alex.

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair frustrated beyond belief. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a mug, pouring some much needed coffee in it. I leaned against the counter slowing drinking my coffee as I let my mind wonder.

Alex doesn't seem to understand how much I love her. How much I fucking care about her. It is killing me seeing her so numb.

Her eyes usually held this light to them... They were very much so guarded, which I hated, but I could also see a slight sliver of hope. And when she was with me... her smile left me breathless.

Since the moment I made her laugh and smile when she was 10 years old, I fell in love with her smile. She is so kind and caring and sweet. It is obvious she has been through a lot. When she told me what her bastard of a father has been doing to her and her sister for years made my blood boil. All I wanted at that moment was to kill that son of a bitch.

I try to live my life as happy as possible, but that day I wanted blood. His blood.

I even wanted it when I found out about Jai... I can't even say her name. It kills me every time I think about her. She was so young... so full of life. I literally broke when Alex told me.

Alex never knows how I can always be so happy, but it isn't hard. Sure, a lot of shit has happened and life isn't filled with unicorns shooting skittles out of their ass, but I try not to look at the darkness in life.

Plus I make her smile. Being the way that I am, I manage to make her genuinely happy. Her smile is honestly my favorite thing is the world.

As I was wrapped up in my own thoughts, I heard the roar of an engine and froze with my coffee halfway to my lips.

Fuck.

I set the coffee mug down and ran out of the kitchen and out the front door just in time to see Alex's car leave a gust of dust behind.

"Son of a motherfucker!" I yelled angrily.

I turn around and go back inside the house angrily in search of my phone. I have to find Alex.

"Why would I ever think that A would actually stay out of trouble for one goddamned second?" I grumbled annoyed as I looked for my phone. "Because I'm just that awesome right, fucktard?" I said sarcastically to myself.

"Are you talking to yourself again?" I heard my little sister's voice from behind me.

I turned around very slowly. Maybe if I didn't make any sudden movements she wouldn't see me. I just had to slowly sneak away into my room like the badass ninja that I am.

"You are an idjit" Penelope said with an eyeroll.

I ignored her and continued with my plan. She still hasn't seen me. I got mad ninja skills.

"Titi I can fucking see you. You are literally standing right in front of me moving in slow motion" she said in a bored tone.

"Damn it" I whispered and straightened up to my full height.

"What the hell are you doing?" Penelope asked looking at me with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm looking for my phone and avoiding having a conversation" I grinned and her and walked off to my room.
