I'm so hurt right now, I don't exactly know how I feel but I know that I'm hurt. I wiped my tears after parking my car in the liquor store parking lot.

I cleared my throat then stepped out of the car. I opened my wallet making sure I had my ID.

"Sorry." I chuckled weakly picking my ID off the floor after bumping into someone and dropping it.

"It's all good, love."

I went my own way turning into the alcohol section. There's a part of me that wants to flip the switch and let Alex go, and there's a part of me that wants to give her another chance.

"To the face," I mumbled grabbing the Hennessy bottle off the shelf.

"Need help little lady?"

I smiled still keeping my gaze on the shelves. "It's all good, love," I said turning around.

It's suddenly not all good.

"Out of all the people in this world, why do I have to see you?" I asked looking up at Ashton.

"Well, you are in my liquor store." Ashton smiled. "Then this is on the house," I mumbled taking my bottle and walked out.

"No need to be so mean."Ashton scooped me off the floor, picking me up bridal style. "Ashton put me down, people are looking," I mumbled wrapping my arms around his neck.

"My M16 can definitely drill holes in a niggas back, it's light work."

Here I am being carried by the same man who ruined my marriage and turned my fiancé against me.

"Please, put me down," I said sternly letting go of his neck. "My fault, I don't want Alex on my ass." Ashton laughed leaning against my car.

"I'm not a fan of you, you took away the only person I loved and turned her into something she isn't. So when you go to sleep tonight I want you to think about how I no longer have a ring on my finger." I showed him my ringless finger and he looked at me in shock.

"Calling my girlfriend at 2 in the fucking morning so she could risk her life doing shit for you." "That is why I don't have a ring anymore, because I couldn't sleep peacefully without being reminded that my girlfriend could lose her life at any moment."

"I hope you enjoy having every last bit of Alexs' attention." I cleared my throat getting inside my car.

"That's just plenty more for us to talk about on the drive."

I raised an eyebrow as Ashton opened the passenger door, getting inside. "If you're hurt then leave her. I truly do apologize for taking Alex away at such hours." Ashton said while buckling his seatbelt.

"Whatever," I mumbled taking the top off the Hennessy bottle. I want to go home and act like none of this happen at all.

I don't want to see Alex or be in the same room as her. I made my choice and I'm sticking to it.

I looked down at my phone then back at the road Alex had sent multiple texts to my phone. Some were sweet and kind while others showed how she really felt.

I sighed parking in the driveway and walked up to the door putting my key in it.

"Hey, I wish you could've gone out with us." Trey smiled giving me a hug.

"Listen, I rock with y'all heavy." I sniffled sitting down on the couch. Niah and Scarlett sat next to me and pulled them closer to me.

"Why are you crying?" Trey examined my face noticing my tear streaks
