I Could Never Forget Us

Chapter 23

--- Addy's POV---

I looked straight ahead instead of at Alex who was staring at the side of my face. I didn't really want to have the conversation with him about what had happened I just wanted to eat my ice cream in peace but he obviously had other ideas.

'So basically I just want to start by saying that last night was amazing although I don't remember all of it, the parts I can recall were great' he said

'Yeah' I agreed 'I enjoyed it'

'But...?' he pressed me

'I have a boyfriend' I closed my eyes 'I shouldn't have done it, it was wrong of me'

'I know you do, but he doesn't deserve you' he put his hand on my leg 'You're so much better than him'

'I've cheated on him multiple times with you, I'm hardly a fucking innocent am I?' I pushed his hand off my leg

'Why did you take him back?' he asked sounding oddly calm after my outburst

'I didn't want to be on my own' I spoke quietly 'I'm so far from home, I've got nobody here except from him I don't even know what I'm doing here'

'Well you could-' Alex was cut off by Jack and Zack returning

'Have you asked her yet?' Jack sat down beside me

'Asked me what?' I frowned

'To come to our show tonight' Zack answered

'Well' I thought about it 'I guess I could do that'

'Awesome' Jack grinned 

'Flyzik just called and we've got to get to the venue' Zack said 'But we'll see you later'

'Okay' I nodded

'I'll pick you up at your place in an hour or two' Alex gave me a small smile

'Cool' I smiled back to show him that I wasn't in a mood with him

I walked back to my apartment alone to get ready for the show and sort my head out. I wanted to know what Alex was going to say before he was interrupted, he seemed annoyed that he didn't get to say it. As I showered I tried to figure out what I was going to do about him but there was no clear answer especially seen as I didn't know what he wanted to do. I couldn't push the guilt out of my mind though and it was making me feel awful about myself. I eventually got out the shower after an hour of standing under the water and pulled on some sweats and a top over my underwear before heading to the fridge for a drink just as the doorbell rang.

'Good afternoon beautiful' I was greeted by Lucas

'Oh' I was surprised 'What're you doing here?'

'Just thought I'd drop in' he shrugged

'Come in, want a drink?' I asked

'Sure, whatever you're having is fine' he went and sat down

I grabbed us both a can of coke out the fridge and went to join him. My hair was still wrapped up in a towel but I didn't think Lucas would mind so I just left it.

'Babe' he frowned and ghosted his fingers over my neck 'What're these bruises from?'

'Um' my hand flew to my neck to cover them and I came up with a feeble excuse 'I just layed funny in bed?'

'They look like lovebites' he said

'No' I shook my head quickly

'They do' he met my eyes 'Who gave you them?'
