"I Promise"

Alex's POV

I watch as her face fall and her eyes glistened with tears. I waited for a response as I watched her trying to hold back my tears from falling.

"You-what-how?" she choked and her tears fall.

She looked at me and pushed my hand away and started walking away from me. Running after her, I grabbed her arm and turned her to me.

"You said you would listen" I cried.

"I thought you were talking about Stella, you knew Alex" she said angrily and I sighed.

"How long?" she asked.

"Since your birthday" I confessed.

"Oh my God" she screamed and started walking away from me.

"Skylar I love you and I was afraid to loose -" she cut me off by slapping me in my face.

"You never loved me, you knew this entire time and you watch me broke down time and time again infront of you and your fiance, you lied and cheated on her with me" she spat and my heart broke hearing her cry.

"I thought I was going insane when you said something about Emily" she cried holding her head.

"Skylar please let me explain" I begged.

"As of Monday morning, I do not work for you anymore so you have enough time to find a new assistant" she said angrily and I watched her walk to the hotel.

I lost her again! I turned to see Jean and Pablo looking at me sadness written all over their faces. I sent Jean to watch Skylar and Pablo stayed with me. I sat down looking out at the ocean as everything replayed in my mind.

"Wanna talk about it?" Pablo asked sitting next to me on the sand.

"I don't even know how to start" I said and he nod.

"How about the beginning" he said and that's it I vented.

I told him from the day we moved next door to her. I smiled as the memory replayed in my mind.

Flashback
"Mom did you use your last name?" I asked as I was packing my school bag.

"Yes Alex but eventually you will need to use your real name" she said and I sigh. I wanted nothing to do with my father.

I loved him but dad only ever care what his reputation would look like. He always pushed me and treated me like I was nothing. I remember him constantly breathing my neck, forcing me to do what he wanted and I was tired of it.

When he left mom, I blamed him for breaking our family apart. Miguel needed stability in his life and dad broke that.

"Bro let's go before were late" Miguel said and I nod.

I hugged my mom goodbye and Miguel and I walked out and there was black haired girl walking out of the house next door. She didn't even look up, it was like she was lost in her own world.

"Hey" I tried to call for her but no response. Hopefully she goes to same school.

"And rejected" Miguel laughed and I pushed him.
