Terracotta Heart

PoV Alex

All the way home nobody said a word.
I just hope he didn't do what I think he did.
Who am I kidding?
What else should have happened?
Ayla's clothes were laying everywhere, some of her stuff was thrown down and roses where laying on the floor.
Her face is emotionless and cold.
I've never seen her like this before.
And I never want to see it again.
When I think about it, it hurts almost as much as if I was there.
It makes me want to throw up.
Why is he such a dickhead?
I want to break his fucking nose!

"Are you okay, Alex? You seem so upset?"

"No, I'm fine."

Suddenly she clinged onto my arm and buried her face in my chest.

"What's wrong?"

"He- He's there."

I look down the street.
A bloke with brown hair and a messy suit is talking to three young women.
They don't seem interested.

"The one with the brown hair?"

"Yes."

I gently push her away and run towards him.
He seems shook and confused.
Put then he recognises me and Ayla.
He tries to defend himself but I'm faster.
A perfect punch against his nose.
The sound of crushing bones and the feeling of warm blood on my hand.

PoV Ayla

It's in the middle of the night and almost no one is outside.
The women run away scared.
I can't really see what is happening.
Not only is it dark but also am I crying.
I'm scared Alex gets hurt.
And I'm scared that he's going to kill Nickolas.
He doesn't stop punching him.

"Alex! Alex stop!"

I run to them and try to get Alex away.
But he's just to angry.
Suddenly Damon, Dave and Graham come running.

"What on earth are you doing?!"

Damon pulls Alex away while Graham is just frozen and Dave tries to calm me down.
Alex is out of breath and still faces Nick.
I hug him from behind and start sobbing again.

"Why are you so stupid?!"
I nearly scream at him.

"He deserved it!"

He turns around and hugs me back and kisses my forehead.
I step back and slap his face.
Now everyone stares at me with confusion.

"Don't ever do something this dumb again!
Do you understand me?!"

"I promise."

"Can anyone explain what's going on?!"

Damon seems to be very angry.
Then suddenly he realises something.

"Is that... him? "

Alex only nods.

"What did you tell him, Alex?!"

"I- I'm sorry, Ayla. I had to."

Tears run down my face and I feel very lightheaded.
I start shacking very heavily and can only see through a blur.
"Ayla?"
"Ayla, can you hear me?"
