Maybe, There is a Happy Ending

Chapter Twenty

Axel's POV

I pace up and down the space of the living room, trying to ease off the stress and panic a little. I could feel the three pairs of eyes on me as I do this and I take a quick look at the three boys all squished on the couch, only to see them all holding a concerned expression.

Mitch, Nolan and Blade all got here at the same time around fifteen minutes ago. Before they got here, I practised how I was going to express what has happened, in my head. I replayed the same words over and over again, only for them to disappear into thin air when the time comes. But now, when I need to actually tell them, nothing is coming out. This doesn't feel real to me, I don't believe that Veronica has moved away. All because of me, because I didn't believe her and accused her for cheating.

"Tell us what is going on, already." Nolan groans, getting slightly agitated. I stop pacing and stand in front of the three boys, Blade looking quite uncomfortable since he is in the middle of Mitch and Nolan. If I hadn't just lost my girl, I would have been laughing my ass off at the poor boy.

"I fucked up, guys." I mutter followed by a sad sigh. I am not one to admit that I have stuffed something up, apart from being with Veronica. When I did something to piss her off, she would give me a cold shoulder. For her to start talking to me again, I had to admit that what made her mad was wrong. So, when I said those words, all the boys were shocked.

"What happened?" Mitch asks, really concerned for me. I sit on the coffee table in front of them and get into telling them everything. Finding the photo in my locker, confronting Veronica about it and telling her we were done, Sammy confronting me and everything else in between.

By the time I was done, Blade and Nolan stayed silent, unsure on what to say. I look over at Mitch and he has his eyebrow raised. "Did I hear correctly? Sammy slapped you across the face?" he asked. I nod my head in confirmation and he grins wildly. He fist bumps the air in front of him. "That's my girl."

I ignore his small comment about my sister and turned away. Although they have been together for a while now and I did give them the all good, I still find it weird.

I hear Nolan snicker, so I turn to him. "You have really fucked up. You should have given Veronica a chance to explain. I know for sure, if it was the other way around, you would want her to hear your side. You fucked up." Nolan's words sink into my mind and anger fills me. Not only because his words weren't necessary, but also because he was right.

Before I could stop myself, I pick up the closest thing to me, which was Blade's empty glass, and throw it towards the wall. Pieces of glass dint the wall and has scattered all over the floor. I can relate my heart to the glass. Once broken, it will never go back to how it originally was. Even if you glue it all together, it will still have slight cracks throughout.

I know my mum would be mad at me, but I didn't care at that point. My only options at that point was either I throw that glass, or I punch Nolan. Obviously, I chose the first option.

I put all of my attention onto the blonde boy, seething in anger. "Do you think I not know that? Do you think I am not feeling guilty? I loved, no. I love her! I love her, so, fucking much. And I had let her slip through my hands." I shout, letting a few tears slip from my eyes. I wipe them away hastily, not wanting to cry in front of my mates. When they don't stop, I give up.

Before any of the boys could say something, we hear booming footsteps coming down the stairs. The footsteps come closer before a Sammy comes into sight. "Axel, what the hell do you t-" She stops mid-sentence when she notices I am not the only one in the room. "Oh, you have company. Hey, boys." She greets them, giving them a smile which we can all see is fake.
