ACE (Interracial Romance) Book #1

Chapter 24

Ason lies on his bed staring at the ceiling when Jaco comes barging in. "Hey bro, you going to Valissa's party?" he asks.

Ason sits up and glares at him. "No"

"What's up with you bro?"

Ason shrugs and lies back down. "Nothing"

Jaco looks at him weird. "This is about Valissa isn't it?"

Ason acts confused and frowns. "What about her?"

Now Jaco shrugs. "Dude you have feelings for her BIG time"

Ason frowns and shakes his head; denying it. "I don't Jaco. Just drop it" he mumbles.

Jaco sighs, "I'm sorry" he says sitting on the edge of the bed gently.

"For what?"

"For being the one Valissa has feelings for when you actually want her."

Ason grunts and wants to laugh. "Valissa is a spineless bitch; she has feelings for no one."

Jaco frowns. "Why would you say that?" he turns around to face him.

Ason looks his brother in the eyes, "Because it's the truth, she doesn't care about anyone, she's just like Joanna; spineless, cruel, and a user." He places his arm over his eyes still talking.

Jaco shakes his head. "Shut up, you don't mean that" he stands up denying it. "That isn't Valissa"

Ason sits up on his elbows nodding his head. "It is Jaco and that's why you have to say it more to convince yourself than me."

Jaco turns and glares daggers at him. "Shut the fuck up, Ason!" he spat. "You hate the world so you don't get a say in who is cruel, a user, or spineless because you're the most spineless out of all. I don't want to hear your shit about Valissa ever again, she is the girl that I will be dating soon and you'll have to deal with it. I wanted you to come to her party with me but never mind, sit here by yourself; alone; because that's all you'll ever be!" he hisses storming from. Ason's room and bangs the door closed, loud and hard.

Ason sits there with a solemn look on his face. His brother had really just said those things to him, for what, no more like whom? Valissa fucking Mercer. He fucking hated her, with a passion. He couldn't deal with the fact that they'd fucked each other stupid and all she had to do was throw it in his face and start dating his twin brother? Fuck her, he didn't need her.

He pulls the skirt that he had hidden under his pillow and looks at it angrily and just starts to bawl. He wanted her but she had chosen Jaco over him. He knew he would have to come to the terms of the situation and face it, but he just loved her so much.

Wait, love?

Did he actually love Valissa? He sighs and throws himself back down on his bed holding the flexible material against his chest loving the smell of Valissa surrounding him everywhere, trying to picture, how it would be if he hadn't told her to leave and she'd left. He wasn't going to that party, he couldn't go. He'd see her with Jaco not broken up at the fact that she didn't have to deal with Ason anymore.

He sighs and debates on going to his bathroom but he decides not to he'd told Valissa he'd never do it again, but where the hell was Valissa at now, eh? She wasn't here, she wasn't with him, and she'd chosen Jaco not him. She had wanted the both of them and got the both of them; one in bed and the other in a relationship. And he felt guilty about it and felt as though Jaco should know but after what he'd just said, Ason was going to be spiteful and not tell him anything.

He gets up from the bed leaving the skirt, walking into the bathroom to do what he did best; destroy his life.

With Valissa
