In my Dungeon

Chapter 53

Vanessa's POV
I look down and answer my phone Mal was calling I smile then answer the phone "Hey Mal how's it going?" She doesn't answer I hear her crying and I can tell that there is something wrong. "Mal what is it what's wrong?" "AJ was here he said that he loves me, he can see a future for us he wants us to have kids and he wants to marry me." I stop moving AJ was going to ruin their relationship Mallory was engaged to Zak they loved each other they were good for each other but AJ was willing to give Mallory something Zak wouldn't  Everyone his friends and fans knew that Zak didn't want kids plus AJ could give Mal a lot. "What are you going to do Mal?" "I love Zak but there's part of me that still loves AJ even though I'm engaged to Zak." "You'll know who to choose just take some time and listen to your heart." "Thanks Ness." "You're welcome." She hangs up I was going to have to talk to AJ about what he was doing I couldn't believe he would do that to Mal if he loved her in the end I knew that Mal would choose the person she couldn't live without.

Zak's POV
I finally get a moment to myself in my hotel room I sit in the bed pull my phone out of my pocket and call Mallory it had been a long day of doing walk through and interviews I press call and wait on her to answer. Then I hear her voice "Hi Zakula." "Hey sweetie how are you?" "I really miss you I wish you were still here or that I had went with you." I hear the begging and sadness in her voice and AJ missed her just as much if I could I would send her a plane ticket first thing in the morning. "I miss you too Mal and I would love to have you here with me or be home with you I'm going to be home in a few days I promise." "I know I guess I'm just lonely." Mal had done great since we started our relationship she never complained or threw a fit she was entitled to feel this way every once in a while we talk for awhile and I let out a yawn. "Go to sleep Zak you need it you have the lockdown tomorrow." "I will goodnight I love you." "I love you too let me know how it goes." She always worried about me even though she didn't need to I hang up then get in bed and go to sleep thinking about her.

AJ'S POV
I lay there in bed that night thinking about Mallory I toss and turn but no matter what I do I can't get my brain to shut off. I poured my heart out I had to for my own sanity I just had to say something even though we didn't get to be a couple I meant every word I said to her including having kids with her I was glad I had told her. Even though she had chose Zak she knew how I felt about her I loved her enough to let her go so she could be happy as much as I wanted her to be with me because I knew I could make her happy it was time for me to get myself together and start picking up the pieces of my broken heart.

Mallory's POV
I try everything to fall asleep that night but I can't sleep I think about everything AJ said and I think about my relationship with Zak. I loved Zak we had done a lot together and been through all kinds of things our relationship wasn't normal neither was the way we met but I didn't mind I wasn't a fan of normal so it was nice to find someone who completed me like Zak did plus he had changed a lot since we met he did it all on his own and that meant a lot to me. Zak was he one he was my rock he was always there for me he even bought me supplies for that time of the month he was my protector and best friend he made me feel safe I hated that I was going to hurt AJ again but I belonged with Zak together we made a great team and if I was going to go through life with anyone it would be him. I feel a peace wash over me because I know I had made the right decision when I finally fall asleep I'm thinking about Zak and our future together and what it might hold.
