Someone Better

Chapter 36

Alex's pov

I grab my keys and make my way out of our new house. Since we moved a few weeks ago I've really missed New York. Since I'm 18 I've debated moving back but I want to stay with my parents for a little while longer.

I start my car and begin my five hour drive back to New York. My thoughts start to wander. After my birth father denied Ross the right to adopt me they have been really protective over me. I want to reconnect with Corey but I feel like it is a bad idea.

I begin to think about Colton and John. About how I treated them so bad. I feel like I'm a bad person even when I try to do good I end up hurting someone. I feel like no matter how hard I try I'll never be good enough for anyone. Sometimes I wonder why I even try sometimes.

Time skip *five hours later*

I finally arrive in New York. The car journey consisted of bad thoughts mixed with a bad radio channel. I made it into our old town. I make my way down the street to Lisa's house. I park my car on the side of the street and make my way up Lisa's steeps leading to her house. I knock on the door within seconds a red puffy eyed Lisa appears.

I pull her into a hug instantly. She sobs into my shoulder. My heart breaks for her because I knew how much she loves Mark. Mark is her fist love. I understand how she feels.

She pulls away from the hug. "I'm really sorry." She sobs.

"Hey there is nothing to be sorry about. I know we aren't exactly friends but I promised you a long time ago I will be there for you no matter what and I plan to keep that promise until you tell me I'm not allowed to anymore. I don't care how far away you are I'm always going to be here for you." My words bring a smile to her face.

"I mean I'm sorry for not being there for you when you needed me. I sorry I was so caught up in my relationship I forgot about you." Lisa starts sobbing again. "Oh I'm so sorry come in"

She lets me in. The house looks the exact same as I remember it. Her mom is an interior designer so their house is super nice.
