The Beginning of The End

A Week

Vincent POV
"Maybe this is his way of coping with everything." Veronica says over the phone
"Sure but it's weird. Everyday I see him at his desk working harder than ever" I say back as I crawl into my bed.
"Just give him a little more time, babe. He just needs some peace and quiet." She says.
"I guess. I can't help but think that this is all my fault." I respond. I look down at my laptop. It's already 12:30.
"Well anyways, see you tomorrow angel." I smile as I say those words.
"Are you going to Dominic's party? I love you." She says with happiness in her voice.
"Of course. I love you too. Goodnight" I hang up the phone and get tucked into bed. I keep rewinding the scene in my head. Seeing his diabolical smiling face staring back at mine.
The Next Day
  I drive over to Veronica's house. I smile when I see her smiling back at me.
"Hey dork." She says to me. I walk in and kiss her in the head. Tiger comes running in and proceeds to jump up on me. I kneel down and start to play with him.
"So are you guys ready to go?" I say while still with Tiger. "Almost. Nessa has been acting stranger after the whole thing with Aaron." Veronica starts to lower her voice as she says that.
"What do you mean?" I ask. Before she could answer, Vanessa walks in the room. She smiled and said,
"Ready to go?" We all pile into the car and drive away. When we got there, the party was already raging. We all walked in and saw Dom. "Vincent my man!" He stumbles away and says hi to the twins.
"He's already drunk isn't he?" I ask with a chuckle. We all eventually go our separate ways and talk to everyone else.
Aaron POV
I was talking to Kian with a drink in my hand. I smile at his jokes as I turn and look over to my side. I see Vincent. He looks back at me. For the first time in forever, he didn't give me a dirty look but he gave me a face of sympathy. I look back thinking about that day. The day I could've prevented. The day that will haunt me forever. The day I lost faith in humanity. The day I lost Alec. I look back at Kian.
"I have to go. See yeah!" He says as he runs over to get another drink. I turn the other way avoiding the looks of Vince. As I turn, I see Vanessa. I look at her and suck in a short breath. She looks up at me. I look into her eyes and see tears already forming in her lovely eyes. I start to feel this huge ball of sadness stuck in my throat. I turn back and walk away. I slowly inch my way up onto the balcony. I look up at the beautiful sunset realizing how much I've lost this year.
"Hey. We need to talk." I turn around and it's Vincent.
"Are you going to fight me again?" I ask with a mad tone in my voice.
"No..I... feel like Alec's death was my fault." He says to me. Alec's Death. Thats all I could hear. His name, the bullets flying in every direction, his lifeless body in my arms. Everything came rushing in.
"What the hell did you just say to me?" The world around me started to become blurry. The anger inside of  me came out like a flood. I took his shirt and pinned him against the wall.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?!" I shout. Nobody heard me over the music.
"Hey calm down. That's- that's not what I meant.. I meant to say-" he try's to speak but I won't let him.
"Your saying that you killed my little brother?!" Before he could say anything else, I punched him. I started the fight this time. All my stress and power bolted out of me. I placed him on the floor. He didn't fight back. In what feels like a millisecond, he blacked out. I walk away with madness and tears stuck upon my face. I run outside to my car and cry into the palms of my hands.
