Second Chance With You

Chapter 14

Rex's POV

Was I really ready for this? I wasn't sure anymore. I had gone through quite a lot in my life.
First I lost my parents when I was only 5 years old.
I don't even remember what they looked like and any proof of my life before that was all burnt up in flames.
I grew up an orphan who time and time again got disappointed because no one wanted to adopt me until I was too old for the system.
All my life I never really felt wanted or at home. I felt like I was a mistake who was never meant to be in this world and everything was against me.

But soon I realized that they were people living in a far worse situation than mine.
After that I learnt to appreciate what I had and worked hard for what I needed.
Soon I was able to sustain myself and live positively. It wasn't easy but I was able to put on a smile and no one could see my inner turmoil.
Then I met Mike and his family and friends. For the first time in a long time I felt wanted and happy.
I felt like the world wasn't really my hell but they was light at the end of the tunnel.
There's always a calm before the storm. I think that's how the saying goes.
Now my so called best friends are my enemies and tried to kill me.
They actually did kill me. The old me. The stupid, naive, idiotic, fool that believed their fake smiles and words. That me was dead.
I was different now in every possible way and I will never fall for their shit anymore.

I took a deep breath feeling more confident than before. I can do this.
'Of course you can and I will never allow them to hurt you'
(From now on anything written like this is mind link conversation)
I almost jumped in shock. It's hard to get used to the fact that someone is in your head.
'How long have you been listening?'
I asked in response looking a bit annoyed because I had asked him more than once to stay out of my head.
'Sorry baby. In my defence your thoughts are pretty loud'
Then I made the biggest mistake in the world. I turned to face Iris.

He was pouting and I could not keep a straight face when he looked so adorable.
GOSH. How can one person have such an effect on me.
'Its called being mates. Get used to it' he said.
I rolled my eyes at his inability to stay out of my mind.
I immediately opened the car door before initiating another never ending make out session with my extremely beautiful and adorable mate who I just realised I could never be angry with.

I looked at the vasity building main entrance before taking another deep breath. 
"Are you ready?" Iris asked as he stood by my side before tangling our fingers together. I looked at him and couldn't help but get lost in his mesmerizing eyes.
"As long as I have you by my side. I'm ready for anything"
