The Son Of Alice || A Once Upon A Time Story

A New Foe

As Marcus and I walked, eating our ice cream I said "That Matthew guy was kind of a creep." Marc nodded in agreement "He's like 16 or 17 and he's working at an ice cream shop? That's really weird." He said. "Who does that?" I laughed. I found it funny that we had become friends the way we did, outrunning an Ice Wraith and killing it. I also figured he was my girlfriend's brother and I was happy we could become friends.

I saw Mackenzie and that guy again sitting by a tree. Her line of sight caught mine and we stared at eachother for a moment. "Hey, don't give her love eyes if you're dating my sister." Marcus said. "I'm not..." I said. I kept looking and the guy touched her cheek, and before I knew it he was leaning in to kiss her. "Just a second." I told Marcus. Kenzie was not liking it, she tried to push him away. I ate the last of my ice cream and quickly walked over there.

Mackenzie had kicked him so he stopped. I heard him say "Ow, what was that?!" before I gave him a good, hard punch in the face. "That is not how you treat a lady!" I said angrily through clenched teeth. He stood up "That's rich, coming from the guy who broke her heart." He said and touched his now bleeding lip. "I didn't want to break her heart. I still care about her and nobody hurts the people I care about." I said.

He came at me and punched me in the face, he was strong and it hurt like hell. He did it again and I fell, I was going to get beat up. He did a third time across the face. I looked at him and he was about to punch a fourth time, but was stopped and given himself a punch in the face with his own fist. Mackenzie had used her magic to help me.

I gave him a final hard blow. "That's what you deserve." I said. He glared at me and got up then went to Kenzie. "I'm sorry." He said, he was trying to apologize. "Don't come near me and stay away from me Oliver!" Mackenzie shouted. So that was the prick's name. He backed away and said "I will leave you alone then. He scratched the back of his head as he left.

I came closer to Kenzie, "Are you alright?" I asked. She shook her head and got teary. I hugged her and she cried into my shoulder. "Can we talk? I just need to say a few things." She said "Sure, just give me a minute." I said and walked back to Marcus, who was waiting on a bench. "I have to go do something, it's important so don't wait for me." I said, he nodded. I went back to Kenz. "I have a place we can talk in private." I said as I thought of bringing her to my house. We walked there, side by side, in silence. Luckily my parents weren't home, so only we would hear eachother. We walked inside and sat on the sofa.

"So what did you want to talk about?" I asked "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for getting mad about Beth when I shouldn't have. I'm sorry about acting really rude that day, I'm sorry for all of it. I still like you Alex. I still love you. I don't think that will change it I just needed to say this and do this one more time." Kenzie said. To be honest, I was a little surprised at this. She then kissed my lips softly. I know I have a girlfriend but this was better than Melissa could ever be.

Mackenzie pulled back and said "I needed a goodbye kiss." I just looked at her. She started to get up "Ill leave, goodbye."  She said "No Mackenzie, don't go." I said and grabbed her wrist. She looked back at me and sat back down. "I still love you too Kenzie. I don't feel the same way for Melissa as I do for you. Don't tell me goodbye." I explained.

I put my hand on her cheek and kissed her softly. Kenzie put her arms around me as we continue pd for about a minute, I think, or at least long enough to not her the door open and someone walking it. It was Melissa, and she just caught me kissing another girl.
