Alissa Violet: Pain To Glory

Relationship Ties

He marched up to me and stood up in front of me, back facing my small face.
"Get the hell away from my girlfriend,".
I could see past Bank's shoulder, Jake wasn't phased. "Your girlfriend?" He started to laugh. Ricky stood there confused, then nodded fiercely. Jake rolled his eyes, "Not after what everyone caught you doing,". I think Bank's didn't get it, because he stood there dumbfounded. Then people started to notice, Team 10 and Faze were already watching. Then I heard familiar heels tap the gravel rode, Chantel was coming. "What's going on here?" She said wrapping an arm around one of mine. I stepped forward away from Chantel letting her arm fall. "Ricky, what the hell!". He turned towards me surprised. I tried to channel everyone else out, it was just Banks and I, Ricky to Alissa. "Ricky how could you cheat on me like that,". He realized and looked down, I looked down also, looking at the promise ring he gave me on Valentine's Day. He didn't say anything, tears rolling down my eyes. I got a quick glimpse at Jake, he was hurt, staring down just as Ricky was. "Alissa I didn't mean for this to happen,". I wiped the tears streaming from my face. I looked down at my shaken finger, I carefully slipped the expensive ring off, Ricky just watched. I put it in his hand gently, "Well it did, you'll probably want this back,". He couldn't say anything, he had tears in his eyes. Now I couldn't even talk without my voice breaking. Ricky ran off, into the crowds of Coachella.
"Alissa," Jake said walking towards him. "No! Get away from her," Chantel yelled stepping in front of me pushing me back. "I wanna talk to her,". "No! You have done en-," "It's okay Chantel. I wanna hear what he has to say,". Chantel obliged leaving us to go back into Coachella.
"Alissa I want you back,". I crossed my arms, "Yeah and that's what you said after every time you had Erika fly girls out to LA,". I saw Erika look down in the background. Jake signaled Team 10 away.
"I admit it was wrong, but I couldn't say that to my fans. I wouldn't have been a good roll model then," I uncrossed my arms, trying to reason with him, "Jake you've never been a good roll model! Disrupting neighbors, climbing news vans, bullying two people who try their best to speak English when they don't actually,". He scratched the back of his head. "Well I wanna be a good one now, and that's with you,". I looked down giving him a sigh, "Look Jake-," he cut me off, "No look Alissa, I own up to my mistakes I'll tell the world that! I want you back into my life,". "I've always been in your life Jake, but we've just hated each other,".
He inches to hold my hand, but I backed away. "And how would I know you wouldn't just go behind my back this time and cheat?" He swallowed almost choking on his words, "I'll quit YouTube, I'll stop acting, I'll move back to Ohio, I'll end Team 10,".
This took me by surprise, but I knew better then that, "And how do I know when that time, if it comes, how do I know you'll own up to your words?".
"Legal contract,". It was then I believed him, but I couldn't do that. "We can't do that, it would be like our relationship is based on one stupid contract,".
Jake nodded, taking heavy inhales, trying to make do what to say. "And Jake you know I didn't cheat on you with Logan,". He looked back up, then down, "I know,".
I felt lightheaded, I've always wanted this moment, the moment to have closure. "Fine, but I wanna stay hidden as a couple for a while, so it wasn't like I just ran off with the other,". Jake nodded yet again. I told him I'd call an Uber back to the Clout House and pack my things.
We parted, decided not to kiss, I couldn't wait till we could though. I went back in to find Chantel. I felt a wave of depression as I thought about this, Chantel hates Team 10, I just hope she'd understand.
"Alissa," I heard from behind, I turned to see Ricky running up to me, "I'm sorry," He pretty much threw the promise ring at me, "Take me back!". I crossed my arms, "Ricky you've had your chance,". "But Alissa-,". "Don't but Alissa me,". Ricky looked down and fixed tone, "Alissa, what do you mean,".

"I mean it's over Ricky!"
