Hearts' Desire

Chapter Fourteen

Alex's P.O.V.

The next day I woke up in the morning with a pit in my stomach. Recalling the events after last night, I regretted everything that I had done. I made a mistake that ruined so much and I had no idea if I could fix any of this.

The person I love and care about most no long trusts me. She no longer wants me to be a part of her life and it breaks me. How could I have been so stupid? Of course at the time I thought I was doing the right thing but I was wrong. I'm always wrong.

I slowly roll out of bed and make myself a cup of coffee. I stare at my phone waiting for a call from Tobin. Maybe even a call from Thalia but my phone never rings, leaving me hopeless and scared.

Then I jump at the sound of someone knocking at my door. I check the time and see that it's only nine in the morning. I slowly walk towards the door and with a deep breath, I open it and I see Servando standing in front of me.

"What are you doing here?" I mumble as Servando walks past me without saying a word. "You shouldn't be here."

"I wanted to talk to you" he mumbles and I look at him confused. He's an absolute mess. His hair is ruffled up, his eyes look tired, and it just looks like he hasn't slept in days.

"I need you to leave" I say. I'm nervous and I can feel my heart racing. Knowing what he can do with his own bare hands makes me sick, especially knowing that I used to date him. I just never knew he had another side to him.

"You can't tell me what to do" he says.

"Servando, don't do this. I just need you to leave" I say cautiously.

"You can't tell me what to do" he says again, his voice cold like ice. And before I can say another word, he leaps towards me tackling me to the ground. His hands wrap around my neck and I begin gasping for air.

I try pushing him off of me but he won't budge. I try squirming out of his grasp but it isn't worth trying anymore. I guess this is how things would end and I deserved this. Especially after what I did to Tobin and her sister.

"Get off of her!" I hear someone say. Servando is thrown off of me and and my eyes slowly focus on who's standing over me. My eyes lock with Tobin's chocolate eyes and she kneels down next to me, helping me sit up.

"Are you okay?" She asks with concern in her voice.

"I'm fine," I say still trying to grab some air. I eventually stand up and watch as Servando runs out the door and when he's gone, I close the door and lock it. "What are you doing here?"

"I... I came to tell you something," Tobin says quietly.

"What is it?" I ask.

"I... I met with my lawyer and she wants you to testify in court," Tobin says and I just nod my head without saying anything. It's silent for a few minutes, neither of us saying anything.

"You should go," I say and Tobin looks at me with an expression on her face I couldn't quite read.

"Alex, I'm sorry about what I said last night. I..."

"Tobin I don't really want to talk about this right now, okay? I was the one who messed up, you shouldn't be the one apologizing."

"Alex..."

"Just forget it Tobin! After last night, I... i don't think I can see you anymore. You should leave."

"Alex, what are you talking about?" Tobin asks.

"I hurt you. I hurt Thalia. I can't let that happen anymore. I made a mistake and people will get hurt because of.... me"

"Alex..."

"I'll testify in court, Tobin. But after that, we're done."
