Hemlock Grove: Cold Blooded | Roman/O.C

IV | Treat You Better (Part Two)

I'll stop time for you, the second you say you'd like me to.

I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing.

Baby, just to wake up with you

Could be everything I need and this could be so different

Tell me what you want to do

Cause I know I could treat you better, than he can.

And any girl like you deserves a gentleman.

Tell me why are we wasting time on all your wasted crying, when you should be with me instead.

Cause I know I could treat you better

Better than he can.

"Mirana," Alec said calmly as she sat up from the floor of his living room.

"I gotta go." She told him and he sighed heavily.

"You always do that." He comments.

"Do what?" She snapped around and looked at him.

"You always leave!" He exclaims, sitting up. "We used to just lay by each other and talk and goof off and go to sleep. And now, the second I finish, you get up and run."

"Maybe I do that because—"

She stops abruptly and he rolls his jaw.

"Because why?"

"I feel guilty." She tells him. "I feel guilty because I'm not in love with you, anymore. I feel guilty because I don't even like you as a person, Alec. I feel guilty because I'm not paying attention to you when you're in me because my mind is picturing someone else."

He stared at her, grinding his teeth as he tried to process all of it.

"It's because I slept with Siànna, isn't it?" He asked her quietly and she breathed deeply.

"How many times did you sleep with her?" She asked him and he felt his blood run cold. "Alec, how many times did you sleep with her?"

Her phone went off and she saw she had a text from an unknown number.

Hey, this is Peter. Roman wanted me to tell you we're out front.

P.S. he's kinda pissed you're at this guy's house.

She rolled her eyes and typed back: Okay.

"How many times did you sleep with her?" She repeated, looking back at her ex-boyfriend.

He didn't answer and she felt anger boil through her. She stood up and snatched her clothes on, grabbing her shoes in her hands.

"Mirána," he pulled his pants on and went after her. "Wait."

"Don't fucking talk to me." She barked, swinging the door opened.

She saw Roman, Peter, Letha and Shelley all piled up in the truck.

"Mirána." Alec grabbed her wrist and she snatched away from him.

Roman opened the door and got out, slamming it shut.

The windows were left down and Letha, Peter and Shelley could easily hear the discourse from the two teenagers.

"Exactly how many times did you fuck my sister, Alec?!" Mirána yelled and Alec rubbed his face.
