Recap

"Mind explaining your relationship?" A cold voice said as Ace and I paused and turned to the voice.

It was Mike.

"They are right. You're just a slu-"

"Don't... Don't you dare complete that." I said as my eyes burned with tears.

By now, Ace and I were sitting on the floor.

"Slut."

Present

Ace stood up and walked dangerously towards Mike.

"What did you say?" He asked dangerously close to Mike.

"She is a freaking slu-"

Ace punched him as he looked at him with unease.

"Don't you ever say that. Ever..." He said.

"What are you going to do? You're going to beat me up. Cos of her." He said glaring at me.

"Shut it. Just shut up before I do something I'll regret." Ace said massaging his temples.

"Yeah. Didn't she tell you, she's just going you use as a bodyguard." He said and laughed with no emotion.

"When she throws her tantrum she'll  call you to take her home as a bodyguard." He said.

"She's a fucking mess." He snorted.

"Don't ever say that about any of my friends, especially not Violet." Ace said through his teeth.

"So you're saying this... this thing is your friend?" He asked eyeing Ace.

"You heard me right. And she is not a thing." Ace said and punched Mike right in the gut as I gasped.

I stood up and cleared my throat to gain the boys attention as Ace massaged the bridge of his nose. He looked like he was conflicting with himself.

"Attention seeker." Mike snorted as Ace and I glared at him.

"Mike I really don't know what is going on." I said calmly.

"You don't know?" He said mocking me.

"Well I don't." I said sternly.

"Well let me tell you this. I confessed how I felt for you." He said.

"Well, I confessed that I don't like either of you." I said looking at Ace to see a reaction and all I got was a smile.

Savage

"Yeah. You don't like either of us and yet you go on a date with him. Wow! You're so smart you know." Mike said sarcastically.

"If that was what was eating you so bad, all it took was one call. Just one call, one question and we wont be having this conversation." I said.

"After the party I remember clearly saying we needed to talk after the party only for you to just go missing. No calls, nothing." I said in anger.

"And yet," I said and laughed with pain.

"You're here claiming that I went on a date with Ace. Can you see how stupid you are?" I asked looking at Mike squarely.

He didn't look at me instead he brought his phone out and showed me a picture of Ace and I in the restaurant.

"What is this then?" He asked.

I collected the phone form him and examined the picture. Then I saw

From: chloé💦

I cringed at the emoji he used to store her name. Had he actually-

"Yeah that's what I thought too." He said and yanked his phone from me.

"Check the person that sent the picture. Its Chloé. The same girl that always claims you, that you said you disliked, that you said you-"

"So, what if its Chloé" He snorted.

"You're an hypocrite." I said and sighed frustrated.

"Yeah and you're a two sided, narrow minded bitch." Mike said with a smirk.

As he said that I felt a lump in my throat and tears stinging my eyes and I walked up to Mike furiously and he looked at me amused. I raised my hand to slap him but my hand was enveloped in warm big pairs of hands.

It was Ace.

"Don't, he's not worth it." Ace said and looked at me and offered a light smiled.  

"Take your couple shit to another place." Mike grimaced.

"Okay." Ace said simply before beating Mike to pulp.

Mike was bleeding from his mouth as he used one hand to hold his broken nose and the other hand to stabilize himself.

Ace nodded to me and we both left and walked straight to the elevator. We didn't say anything to each other as we got into the car.

We sat in the comfortable silence as Ace drove home. On getting home, I walked out of the car and Ace walked out too.

"I'm sorry." Ace said looking at me with sad eyes.

"Its no problem. He deserved it." I said.

"Not about that, about losing my temper. I never want to do that again. You're like a sister to me and I will never forgive myself if someone hurt you. I just want to-"

"Ace... its really fine. I am glad you stood up for me." I said with a smile.

"I'll talk to Mike though. I don't know what got into him this time." He said with a far away look in his eyes.

"Goodnight Ace." I said and pulled him into a hug. He stiffened again and suddenly he jolted out o my hands like there was some sort of fire but he apologised and left immediately after.

I walked into my house and went to Sage's room.

I knocked and a response came immediately after.

I yawned and said,"Sage thanks for standing up for me this evening. Its good to know you always have my back."

"No matter where I am, I will still back you up."

Well that's weird. "No matter where I am..."

"By the way, Mike totally lost my respect and I checked @the.ace and I must say he is good-looking."

I rolled my eyes and said,"Yeah, keep checking out my bestfriend."

"Yeah.. whatever." She said and looked down on her phone typing away. I smiled and...

"Wait what?! He's your bestfriend too?" She asked.

"Yup."

"Why do you get all the cute guys?" She groaned.

"They are not 'cute'" I quoted.

"Well they are hot. Yet you never fall for any of them."

"Or are you falling for one of them secretly?" She asked excited.

"Nope." I said.

"It would have been nice if you had fallen for Ace. Let me tell you how it would be if you had fallen for Ace. He'd take you to..."

And there and then I knew she would talk the whole night.

My mind kept replaying how happy I was and how Mike called me names.
