Love Games

The Battle of the Exes

Tyler's POV

"You dick!" Alec screamed, running towards Alex with a knife.

He dodged just in time, throwing Patrick off to the side to save him. Patrick landed on the soft grass.

I was originally going to go to Alex's house to see if he was doing okay, and Taylah nagged me to see if he was still alive. Turns out he was. But I didn't know how long he would be alive.

I quickly called the police, ordering to come right away. I couldn't speak so I had to tell them the address through morse code that I performed with a rock against the concrete.

Alex attempted to grab the knife out of Alec's hand, but the other boy swung at him instead. Alex did a backflip towards the pavement, landing perfectly before the street. Alec began swinging for him again, doing a wallflip against the side of the house to lunge towards the other boy. Just as he landed, Alex kicked beneath his feet, making Alec topple. That was his chance. He grabbed the knife from his hands. Due to self defense, he decided to try and stab Alec, but the tall boy snaked his way out of his grasp, doing a standing back tuck to get out of his straddle. Alex chased him down with 3 front aerials, his long legs going directly around Alec's neck. He brought him down to the ground, strangling him with his lanky legs.

I would've screamed if I could actually talk. Alec was running out of breath. But that's when he swung the knife around and stabbed his leg.

"Ahhhh!" Alex screamed, clutching his leg instantly.

"Alex!" Patrick screamed. Alec laughed maniacally.

But then police showed up, the sirens filling the street. It was raining so harshly that you could barely hear it.

"We're the police! Put down your weapons!" Alec dropped the knife from his hands.

Patrick came running over, cradling Alex in his arms as he bled to death.

"Patrick!" Alec yelled as he was taken away by the police. "I love you! I love you so much!"

Patrick's POV

I cried, my tears pooling on Alex's face. But I also couldn't tell because it was raining.

"P-Patrick..." he muttered out. He was literally dying in my arms.

"Yes?" I sobbed. This might be the last time I see him. But it was for reals this time.

"I love you."

He lowered a wedding ring into my hand. The one with our initials on it. I must've lost it in the car crash. But I had it back. Like how I got my love back with Alex.

"I love you so much," Alex coughed up blood. "But maybe...it wasn't enough."

"No!!!" I yelled. Then I remembered. It's what Vicky said ages ago when my hand was bleeding.

"Did you know that you can save someone by applying direct pressure on the cut or wound with a clean cloth, tissue, or piece of gauze until bleeding stops?"

I immediately took off my shirt, revealing my six pack underneath. Alex looked at me, confused, but I know he was distracted by my abs. I took the cloth and wrapped it around his leg. The bleeding stopped.

"Oh my god Patrick!" he exclaimed. "You saved my life!"

He brought him into another kiss. Patrick's heart was about to burst. He was finally complete.

He dumped the old ring onto the ground, the diamond cracking against the concrete. He then put on the new one. The one with their initials engraved.

"I'm so happy Alex," he said, a bright smile on his lips.

"Me too."And that's how you win the game of love.
