Alex's pov

I run home faster than I ever have in my entire life. So many things are running through my head. I have no idea what is happening. Luckily for me Layla Dean's house isn't to far away from my house. I look at my phone to see Colton has tried to call me again. I feel a lump in my throat again.

I finally arrive home to see my mom crying. My heart drops again and I feel an uneasy feeling.

"You need to go to John's house." Ross instructs me. I look at my mom and Ross one more time before leaving just in case something happens.

John's house is three streets over from mine. On a normal day it would take two minutes to get there, today it is one minute.

I arrive at his house. The door is wide open and I hear crying and screaming. I see Colton and I suddenly can't breathe. I look on the floor and see John crying.

"What happened?" I look at Colton for the answer.

"He is drunk. He misses you and he wants to die." He said in the most calm voice. Anger rises in me. Why is Colton with John?

"Why are you here?" I question.

"I was hanging out with John." Colton's eyes never left the floor. I am speechless right now. Out of everyone in our school why is he hanging out with John.

"I can't believe you would do this to me." My anger suddenly turns to tears.

I notice John has stopped crying.

"John it's Alex. Are you okay?" I say while bending down to talk to him easier.

"Ah my beautiful Alexia. I've missed you so much. I love you. Please don't leave me." I start to cry even harder to realize he is so drunk right now and there is nothing I can do. I feel like this is my fault. I feel like I moved on to quickly from John. What if this is a mistake?

"John I need you to tell me what is wrong." He starts crying again.

"I miss you so much. I want to be with you. You don't deserve to be with Colton who has been cheating on you for the past few months with Daniella." I look at Colton and his eyes avoid mine.

"John I thought you were dating Daniella."

"No I was covering for Colton." My heart breaks a little. This is why I was so hesitant to be with Colton.

I stand up and make my way to Colton. "Are you kidding me? I love you so much and you decide to cheat on me! I can't believe you. You said you loved me! You said you wanted to be with me! What happened to all that? Was it just the bet?" I can't control my tears right now.

"Alex I'm sorry. I do love you. I just love Daniella as well." My heart breaks a little more but I need to be strong.

"You don't love me. If you did you wouldn't have cheated on me. You aren't in love with me you are in love with the idea of me. I can't believe I fell in love with you. I am so done with all of this drama. I thought you cared about me. I thought you loved me." Colton still won't look me in the eyes. "Look at me!" He finally looks up and I see he is crying. Those beautiful eyes I fell in love with are filled with tears. My heart hurts to see him like this. I have never seen him cry before. I wish I wouldn't have asked for him to look at me.

My attention was drawn back to the floor where John is now trying to get up.

"I'll call 911" I said walking away.

After I call 911 explaining what exactly has happened I make my way back inside. My heart felt like it just stopped to see John has stabbed Colton. I can't breathe all of a sudden, I can't feel my legs and I'm sweating. I start to panic because I have no idea what to do. I call my mom but she doesn't answer. I have no idea what to do.

I hear the ambulance sirens coming up on the house.

That is the last thing I remember before everything went black.
