•Final Chapter•

"Alexis, can we talk?" I turned my head to see Shea. "Huh......us? Talk? How about you get your sorry ass self out of here before I make you?" I said as I ran my fingers through my hair. Colby came jogging down the stairs. "Babe, have you seen....Shea? What are you doing here?" He said surprised.

I smirked. "Maybe she came back to get more Colby? But I assure her that is not what's going to happen." I said as I glared at her, not even giving a glance at Colby. "Babe, Alexis, come on." Colby said as he placed his hand on my waist and began pulling me away. "She, I said this before and this is the last time I am going to say it, I love Alexis and only Alexis. Leave."

I seen the devilish look on her face. "That's not what you were saying that night at the party. Was it? No, you were moaning my name." She smirked and I heard everyone else come down and they seen what was happening. Colby could no longer hold me back.

I linger at her and right hooked her jaw. She stumbled back, I hit her again. Upper cut, left hook, right hook. She was on the floor with a bloodied nose. "Alexis!" I was grabbed my Jake and Corey. They pulled me away and Colby was looking at me in amusement. Devyn kicked out Shea and she was gone, for now. I breathed out. "Whoa that felt good!" I shouted as a giggle escaped my lips.

Colby came up to me and cupped my face. His lips smashed into mine and I kissed back. I heard a bunch of chuckles and giggled. He pulled away and planted a quick kiss. "Baby, Alexis, don't you ever forget that I fucking love you." I smiled and gave him a quick kiss.

I went to the sink and washed my hands free of the little bit of blood on them. I felt a warm body against mine as I did so. Colby's lips attached to my neck as he whispered in my ear. "Not gonna lie, seeing you mad like that is sexy, I think she should come back just so I can see that again." I giggled and turned around after wiping off my hands.

I wrapped my arms around his neck as he held me up by my ass. "Mmm did it?" I giggled as I leaned up and planted a soft kiss on his lips. He hummed in response as he gave my bum a light squeeze. I giggled and smiled into the kiss.

He pulled me outside into the setting sunlight. "Alexis, I love you so fucking much and there is not a thing J wouldn't do for you. I was broken when you were arrested, the worst feeling in the world. I needed you. I missed you. I am still sorry for that day and I do t think I could ever forgive myself because of it, all of it was my fault, listen, I am not good with expressing how I feel and you know that. You put up with me for about two years and I'm not sure how you did it. You could have had anybody else in the world and you chose me. Out of all the people, you chose Cole Robert Brock. I don't know why, or how, but I am so glad that we ran into each other. This, this right now would not be happening if you didn't fly out here to receive that award, this would happen if I didn't ask for your number." I had tears running down my face as I listened. His eyes watering as he spoke, cracking and breaking.

"What I am trying to say is, I need you in the rest of my life and I want you to take back the promise ring. I want to promise you that I will NEVER again do whatI did to you, everyone deserves a second chance, but I would give you a million because of the love I have for you. Will you accept my promises?" I nodded my head as he slid back on the ring. He pulled me to his chest and we cried together.

His warm embrace is all I will ever ask for, it was something I felt safe in. He gave me all the love in the word, more that I ever gave to myself. He still doesn't know about all the times I have cut, the baby wasn't the only time. He gave me life and love like no other. He was the reason I moved here. He is the reason for my happiness, my love, my beating heart. And it was all because one trip changed my life.....and there is many more to come.
