City Lights

Chapter 20

(Adam's POV)

I was getting worried because Alexis had been outside for a long time so I went to check on her. When I saw Cat standing outside I knew this was not going to end well. Cat smiled and I was just so disgusted by her...how could she do this?

"Let go of her Michael" I said running towards Alexis and trying to pull her away. I almost got her free from his grip when he grabbed her wrist and she cried out in pain. Something inside of me snapped and I punched Michael right on the jaw and he staggered backwards. "I said let go of her" I said while stepping In between him and Alexis. He held his jaw "you're so dead Trainer" he spat before lurching himself at me. I pushed Michael back as he pushed me to the ground, I felt his fist connect with my cheek bone and I groaned in pain but there was no time to think about it so I swung my fists out hoping to injure him as badly as possible. "STOP!" I heard Alexis cry out. I looked back at Alexis as she turned to Cat "PLEASE...make him stop!" She pleaded. I felt Michael's fist just above my ear. I heard Cat laugh and say "Wait" just then Michael stopped and just as I was about to stand up and run to Alexis, Michael grabbed me "This isn't over, she said wait not stop"

So Michael held onto my arm as Cat continued, "You really think Adam is doing this for you?" She smiled and walked towards Alexis who was on her knees crying. Of course I was doing this for Alexis, what was she talking about? "You're pathetic you know?" Cat said while pushing Alexis with her foot "Cat! Leave her Alex alone...Why are you doing this?" I shouted. "Shut up" Michael spat into my ear. "Well Adam" Cat said while looking down at Alexis "because it's just sad to see you with someone like her...you know what I mean?" "No! I don't know what you mean!" I shouted while pulling away from Michael, but his grip was firm. "Oh I'm sure you do, I mean who doesn't know about our little self harming freak Alexis Lyle?" Cat said as Alexis lifted her head "who...how?!" Alexis stuttered.

How did Cat know about that? She smirked and leaned down until her mouth was beside Alexis ear. Even though she looked as if she was going to whisper something to Alexis she said it loud enough for all four of us to hear. "Your so called boyfriend isn't so good at keeping secrets" Alexis' head turned to look at me with tears in her eyes. My mouth dropped open as Alexis said shakily "how could you?" "Alex I swear I don't know what she's talking about! She's lying!" I shouted "Alex I swear-" but Cat cut me off by saying "then why do I have a text from you telling me the whole story of the night you and Alex spent at the hospital?" "What?!" I said but Cat pulled out her phone and showed the screen to Alexis and she turned to me again this time her face was filled with anger and betrayal "What the hell Adam?!" She was crying. I tried pulling away from Michael again but he still held me tightly. "I swear to god I have no idea what she's talking about Alex...I swear! Please trust me!Cat why are you doing this?!" I shouted. Cat didn't answer, instead she turned around and walked back inside. Alexis walked up to me until we were inches apart and she whispered in a shaky voice as tears fell down her cheeks "I never want to speak to you again...I ant believe I was so stupid to have trusted you...to have loved you...I can't believe I called you my best friend" I started to cry as Alexis turned around and started walking down the road. "ALEX PLEASE!" I screamed. A car pulled up beside her and she got in...it was Iris. "ALEX!" I screamed again and pulled against Michael. I was done with this, I turned around and punched Michael on the nose and he punched me on the lip. I fell backwards and tasted blood. The last thing I saw was Michaels sneaker and I felt a sharp pain against my head. Then everything went black...
