I had to leave, i had my reasons.
Leaving changed me.
I had to forget my past, to adapt with my present, to face the future.
I suddenly came back, but the problem is...I am different now.
...
ALEX AND CARA WISH YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR! *Opens the champagne bottle*
Woah I can't believe that a year ago I was still writing Ashton and Katherine's story, where Alex's main concern was just having sex lmao; we had one hell of a tough ride, didn't we?
Anyways, anyways, I wish you peace, love, and laughter in the new year. You've got 12 chapters to go and 365 days yet to come. Live them all to the fullest, live each day as if it's your last. Take risks, go on adventures, be crazy, drink, laugh, love, set goals, let go of whatever is holding you back, cut out toxic people from your life and move on from the past. It's a new year, a new you, a new chance at life, a new chance to fix whatever was broken.
For me, I wish I just pass my finals for now, or maybe get kidnapped by some hot billionaire, I won't mind the latter *Shrugs*. I am drunk on wine, don't mind me;
I am Chandler down there lmao xD

[NOT EDITED AT ALL]
*********
Alex's POV
Life has a way of testing someone's will.
It's either by having nothing happen at all or by having everything happen at once.
With me, it's the latter.
All at once.
One after the other with no breaks in between.
From the moment she came back into my life, from the moment Nikolas showed up until now, not once have I been able to take a normal breath, not once have I been able to close my eyes and just sleep.
A stuttered breath sneaked past my lips and frustration blistered below my skin as I pressed the back of my head against the headrest. I shut my eyes and scrubbed a hand over my face, preparing myself to embrace what's about to come.
I pried my eyes open and looked at Lily in the backseat. She had her eyes closed, peacefully sleeping, her head resting against the door and her small hands wrapped around the seatbelt.
Like a little angel, she looked so pure and innocent.
If life hated me so much for the things I've done before then why would it give me something so beautiful, something so good; Why would it give me this light, give me this reason to not sink into darkness?
Because I can feel it, that line between good and bad, I can feel it wearing thin, I can feel it dropping down almost making light and darkness clash, and I know that together they'll form a chaos I'll never be able to pull myself from. But here I am, trying to keep that line still; with all my power, trying not to taint myself with black and red.
