A Life Full of Lies

A deal = changes

Chapter Six

Alissa slammed her fists on his front door continuously.

"The fuck? I heard you the first time, okay. Okay!" He groaned and threw the door open. Just as he was going to force it shut, Alissa threw her hand and stopped the door from closing.

"Don't even try." She growled and walked in, finding a seat where she rested her arm against the table.

"The fuck do you want, Alissa? I ask- TOLD you to stay out." Banks snarled, fuming.

"See but that's the thing about me," Alissa began as she grabbed a pen and tapped it against a table in rhythm. "I don't listen to what people tell me to do."

He stood there, in front of the door, staring at Alissa blankly in annoyance.

"Your point?" He broke the silence. "Tell me what you're here for or get out." He motioned to the door behind him as he spoke.

"Our deal!" She raised her voice in disbelief that he'd even forget, removing herself from leaning against the table and switched to sitting up straight. "You can't just act like it was never made. You clearly said-"

"Fuck you, Alissa. I didn't say SHIT!" He hollered. She rushed into her purse and slipped her phone into the palm of her hand, opening 'Photos' where she showed him the screenshot of their messages.

"Our conversation. You clearly stated that you wouldn't tell anyone that I cheated on you if I dated you. How could you have lost interest?"

"I'm just not in a good state of mind at the moment."

"Well I'm not leaving until this is settled. My way," she argued and got herself comfortable with a cup of coffee she set for herself. "So what's it going to be?" She questioned intimidatingly, followed by a sip.

"YouTube sensations FaZe Banks and Alissa Violet are officially back together. The two tweeted that they've 'worked things out' and are 'ready for a fresh start.' Jake on the other hand, wasn't too pleased. He said, 'once a cheater, always a cheater' but both Banks and Alissa refused to respond. Although, we've ca-"

Alissa paused the video and shut her laptop lid, sighing as she threw her computer to the side and led herself out of her bed.

"L-Logan?" She cried into the phone. "My life is a fucking mess!"

"Woah, woah, Alissa. What are you talking about?"

"I'm a fucking slut," she sobbed. "One moment I'm breaking up with this dude and the next we're back together?! I ruined my relationship with Jake and all of this is based on a fucking deal! I-can't- I can't.."

"Calm down!" Logan protested. "Breath.."

Alissa did as she was told and took a deep breath, followed by an apologetic sigh for how she just ranted off.

"I can't take the pain anymore," she admits and forces her eyes shut as she sheds more tears. "And I'm the reason I'm in pain."

"I need to tell you something..." Alissa lowers her voice.

"Logan?" Jake quietly called out on the outside of the door. "Please open up."

Logan opened the door slowly, only glaring at Jake. He motioned for Jake to come in, pushing himself to the side so he could enter.

"I need to tell you something," Jake began, fiddling with his fingers while looking down.

"No need, I already know," Logan sighed. "Banks is cheating on Alissa."

Jake stared at the ground for a few seconds before lifting his head, "I'm in love with Alissa.."

Alissa overheard on the phone the words that came from Jake's mouth.

Her tears dried instantly as she grew red all over face accompanied by a slight smile. Logan signalled to Jake that it was Alissa he was having a conversation with. Whispering very softly yet in a way that seemed very clear, "Alissa! This is Alissa on the phone!" she said.

In disbelief, Jake snatched Logan's phone and ended the call immediately before Alissa heard anything else.
