The deal

Chapter 12. Arguments

Ally
I decided to ignore Bradley and snuggled under the comforter in my bedroom. I was not going to the firm, at least not today. I needed time for myself and to try to figure out all the mess around me, my nightmares and everything related to Blake Sterling.

Jeremy knocked on my door and opened it leaning on the doorframe. He crossed his arms on his chest and sighed.

"What?" I said a little harshly and barely showed my eyes above my dark purple comforter.

"When are you planning to forgive yourself ? Jeremy asked in a harsh tone.

"What do you mean with that? His question took me by surprise.

"Yeah, when are you going to forget about the past and move on with your life? He asked again and I was taken aback by it. I tried to say something but I couldn't right away.

"I think you cause your nightmares, every time things get complicated or you are in the middle of something you cannot handle" Jeremy continued and I got mad.

"Well shit Jeremy" I said and throw the comforter away. "What are you? A psychologist now? Mind your own business and fuck off" I said while I walked out of my room to the living room.

"Isabelle wouldn't like to see you moping around like this."  He said walking right behind me.

"Don't say that!" I yelled at him. "You don't know anything, you left me and run away so why would you be the one who gives me advices on what to do?"

"Oh yes I ran away from you." He said sarcastically "Don't you think I had my own shit at that time? The world doesn't spin around you Allyssa Marie!" He yelled at me and I shoot him daggers through my eyes.

"How you dare to talk to me like that!" I yelled at him also and walked to the kitchen.

"I dare because I care about you. I left for seven years but I was there for 16 years since you were born! He continued yelling.

"You left me! You just walked away from my life as if it was nothing important!"
I reproached.

Jeremy sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "You have always been important to me Ally, always. I just had my own problems."

"Oh, that's hard to believe.
At least I'm not the one who runs away from my problems" I said as a matter of fact. There you go Jeremy.

He chuckled and shook his head. "Yeah you're right. I'm the one who runs away but you are the one who plays the victim role thinking that you caused your mother's death. At least I don't pity myself "

That's it. I was very pissed off so I just flip him and stormed to my room. He tried to  stop me  and held my arm but I pulled my arm away and slammed the door in his face.

"Very mature Ally, very mature of you!" Jeremy yelled through the door.

"Fuck you Jeremy! I yelled at him and then I heard him slam the front door.

It had been 5 minutes since Jeremy left and I was crying my eyes out when I heard some banging on the front door.

I was cursing while I walked to open the door thinking that Jeremy must have forgotten his keys or something. I didn't even think of asking who was it and opened door rudely.

"What do you want now?!" I yelled.

"Blake" I said a little too shocked to see him standing in my door.
