(Pic of Lena and Alec)
Alec's POV
As we drove up the driveway to the mansion, I noticed that Lena calmed down. She was shivering, but calm. She was silent, but calm. Her eyes seemed empty and her hands were dry, yet I didn't hear nothing coming from her.
Not a sniffle.
Not a cry.
Not even a gasp.
It was as if she completely faded from the world. As if her mind was somewhere else but her body was here. As if she had no emotions.
She was beautiful.
I snapped out of my thoughts when everyone started getting out of the car.
Lena didn't budge.
As everyone approached the house, I felt something I never felt before.
I felt empathy, sympathy. I felt sorry.
"Hey...." I spoke out.
"Look, Im not gonna hurt you." I said shaking my head.
"That's the last thing I want to do. I promise you I'm not as bad as you think." I breathed out.
No response.
"Lena. I'm sorry ok? The only reason I took you was to get back at my brother."
She turned her head. Her beautiful brown eyes met my cold blue ones.
"He loves you." I whispered.
"My brother never fought me for someone before. I'm so used to taking and not having to put up a fight. He protected you. He's never done that before. Quite frankly, I hate seeing him happy. He doesn't deserve it. I've made plenty of mistakes but I definitely deserve happiness as well. I- I just wanted to see him hurt."
Her eyes flickered and for once i felt like I was getting through to her, but in my effort of making her trust me, I felt weak and vulnerable.
"What do you have against him?" Lena whispered.
I sighed and realized the truth.
"I'm jealous ok?" I yelled.
"My entire life.... it's been Jax this Jax that. Listen, my mother left my father, to be with Jax's. My own mother betrayed me for that little bitch before anyone else could've. My family! The family I grew up loving, broken because my little mother thought Jax's dad was better! Then after that, my dad couldn't deal with the heartache and depression my mother caused. He started drinking and doing drugs. Right in front of me! I saw my father disappear right in front of me. A couple months later he died. Overdose, and you know what my precious little mother did? She went on vacation with Jax and his father while I stood here to go to my dads funeral. I became depressed. I was heart broken. But wanna know what my whole family said! They said, be more like your brother! Show some respect! Jax would never! For once in my life I wanted to feel that. For once I wanted to be the center of attention. For once I wanted to feel love. I only wanted what he got, but no matter how hard I tried, I never got it. I've been good my whole life trying to get where Jax was. I got so sick of it. So I devoted my life to destroying his."
I sighed. She looked at me with sad eyes. It was as if she had seen a ghost. At that moment, I realized I just poured my heart out to this girl I barely even knew, and now, she knew my whole life story.
She looked me in my eyes and said, "Alec, I'm so sorry."
"Lena, he's not as innocent and caring as you think. Jax is dangerous."
