Alexandra P.O.V
After talking with Jayden, I left like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulder. I think if we are just friends that it would be better for me. I still think if I am making the right decision. My mind and heart are having an internal battle. I'm scared.

This is the perfect time to talk to Charlotte. She will know what to do!!

I walked through the apartment and found her in the living room watching TV, looking bored out of her mind.

"Her Char, got a minute?"

She turned off the TV and gave me all her attention.

"Yeah sure. What's up?"

"It's about.... Jayden" I sighed.

"What about the jackass?"

You see. After the divorce and explaining my story to Charlotte, she hated him. She will never pass the opportunity to call him names. I used to at first tell her to stop but now I could care less.

"I'm in an internal conflict Charlie. My brain tells me that by being friends with him, I might fall for him again and get hurt and have this cycle repeat. While my heart tells me that he is the only one for me and that I must forgive and trust him and give him another chance. Which one do I chose?"

Charlie thought about it for a second, then replied.

"Can I be honest here Alex. I'm in the same position as you are. Forgive Nick and give him another chance or never forgive him and think about the life we could've had. You know what? I think we both should for once just try to.... I don't know... Befriend them again. Maybe not friends but acquaintances like last resort friends. We could try like avoiding them. No not avoiding them being a bit cold and distant and see where that gets us. If we find it difficult to ignore them, then we become friends. What do you think?"

I pondered over what Charlie said. If I find it hard to ignore Jayden, then I resort to becoming friends. Even though Jayden is under the impression that we are friends, I'll have to distant myself from him and kind-of ignore him. It can't be that hard. Right?

"Oh....ummm... Ok, Charlie," I sighed. "Let's give this a try. Maybe if we find some distance between the two boys, it might help us cool off and ponder over what they told us.... Hey Charlie, I know this is a sensitive topic for you... but you know everything about me and Jayden's relationship... but does Nick... when you see him I mean... does he make you uncomfortable and angry and all these negative emotions come over you?"

Charlie seemed shocked that I asked. I never asked about her and Nick's relationship because I knew it was a sensitive topic for her and that she felt uncomfortable but I wanted her to feel comfortable around me to tell me her past. Her relationships are the only secrets she keeps from me. Unless she feels comfortable around me to tell me about them. I was shocked when she began to tell me about her and Nick's relationship

"When Nick and I were together, he made me feel... complete and happy. He treated me like..." Big fat tears began to roll down her face. I gave her a hug and encouraged her to continue. "Sorry. He made me feel like I was the only girl in his life. Like I was this special woman he kept loving until forever. He was extremely possessive of me and..." she began to laugh, "Every time some man looked in my direction or flirted with me, he would say something like," She made a deep, husky manly voice and said, "You better keep your eyes and hands off my girl before you realise that they might not be there after I'm through with you. Then he would glare at them, grab me by my waist and push him against his chest and continue to glare at them. Then they would cower and run away." She stopped laughing and turned serious. "When I found him in bed with that... Whore... I quickly grabbed my luggage ran away, all the while ignoring him and that slut in bed together. I ran out sent him a message ending our relationship and here I am." She began to cry again.

My heart broke for my best friend. She suffered so much in her past. All she had to do was let it out. I gave her a big, fat hug and whispered words of encouragement.

We both had a bad past. To bad we don't know how to fix it.
