Chapter Thirty One

ALEX

I arrived at the airport at exactly two in the morning. I asked Caine if he could track his twin and here I am entering a bar. There's smoke everywhere, bodies swaying with the music and couples grinding at each other.

I spotted them in the far end corner of the room, that familiar bronze haired Adonis with a blonde bimbo on his lap. I stared at the two of them making out.

Oh, how could they do this to me? How could he do this to me?

I push my way through the crowd and put my hand in front of his face. He looked up at me and I can see his eyes turn into a darker shade of blue. The emotion reflected unto them were anger, longing and something I can't decipher. Was it, betrayal?

Our little trance was broken when I was pulled back by no other than Tiffany. She slapped me and that made me snap. I pulled her hair and punched her. I slapped her face, while she clawed on my skin. Every inch of my skin was burning but I won't stop.

"Raaaa!" I screamed while launching at her back and together we fall off the floor. I pulled her hair and attempted to drag her face down but then she clawed my feet which burned like hell.

How dare she do that to me? Why does she keep on ruining my life? She threw another slap across my face and that made my blood boil even more. I was so angry that I haven't notice an arm pulling me. I looked up to see Caiden scowling down at me. On his left was that Tiffany bitch I hated so much.

He pulled the two of us out of the bar and into the parking lot. My heart was burning with jealousy when he pulled Tiffany on his arms and after leaning in to kiss her, he opened the back door and pushed her in. He gave me a glare as he pushes me down on the passenger seat. I was about to snapped at him when he wretched the driver's door open and got in. The car swerved unto the curb and there we went.

The trees passed by around us in a blur. I looked at the back and saw Tiffany bitch glaring at me. I frown and stuck my tongue out which earns me a glare from Cade.

“Can you stop being spoiled for a minute? I just---grr!” He clench his jaw and focused his eyes on the road

"What did I ever do to you?" I snapped at him.

"You're hooking up with my brother right before you tie the knot with me, that's why" he gave me another glare but that only made me boil in anger.

"What are you saying? We're just friends! You misunderstood…"

"But you wanted him ever since that summer. He is the one you really wanted ever since then and no!" He turn to me and said, “ I heard everything so don’t try to fool me again”

"I’m not trying to fool you. I am just telling you the truth. Why can’t you trust me?" I gave him another look but he just shrugged, "Just, please, listen" I looked at him and saw him running his fingers on his hair.

He looked at me and sighed in frustration. "I don't care, okay? I don’t really care now. We’re finished so it doesn’t matter anymore." He took a deep breath and look at me "You can do whatever the fuck you want. I just- I’m out of this."

"What did you just say?"

"I don't care!" He growled. I was surprise when he stop the car on the side. I started hitting him then. Tiffany tried to stop me but I am far too angry for her to out power me. I wanted him to wake up from this nightmare. He should believe in me.

I was surprised when he captured my arms in his and that made me stop. I look at his face and was surprised by the blaring lights and the truck that was heading on our way. My mind have gone black. I cannot register anything.

I now that in less than five seconds we are going to collide with that truck.

One

Two

Three

Bam! The screech of the tires, the scream of Tiffany, the way our car flew from where it collide. The way it crumpled with us inside.

Everything.

But before I blacked out, I can see the lights of sirens in the distance, the broken glasses on my face and the smoke which made me fall unto my slumber.

CAIDEN

I woke up in haste but regretted it when a searing pain erupted on my shoulder down to my arm with my throbbing head. I look around me and saw paramedics nursing a blonde and that familiar brunette girl.I swallowed at the sight of blood covering my left arm but regretted it when I tasted it on my mouth. I stood up of the stretcher and made my way to them.

"What did just happen?" I asked the medics while they strap a bloody Tiffany unto a stretcher. I followed one of the paramedic who is nursing a brunette.

“The truck has lost its control and has collided with your car. Sadly, the truck driver died." He pointed unto that rusty old vehicle and turned his attention back to Alex. "And this girl here is needed to be brought on the hospital for she is losing so much blood. Can you please excuse us?" I nodded my head and followed him into one of the ambulance.

One of the paramedics assisted my arm and stitched it. I'm not paying attention to what they were saying instead I'm going over to what have happened.

Me pulling her out of the bar, her screaming at me and I telling her I do not care. The truck, the scream, the crash.

All of it. It's all my fault.

I stared down at her face and pulled a strand of her bloody hair. "Alex," I bit my lips and frowned. What am I doing? I asked myself as I let go of her hair. I wasn't supposed to be here no, let me rephrase that. I shouldn't be here in the first place, I should be gone.

I should go away from her, and from everybody because it is my fault. I should go because she does not love me. I promised myself that I'll forget her. All of the things we've done that summer. Her face, the beach, All. I looked down and regretted it.

She was fighting for her life. She was in the verge of dying because of me. As every second passed, her eyes twitched and a small groan escaped her dried lips. Blood was gushing on her forehead and as I gazed down I can see the bruise that was slowly forming on her right cheek.

I swallowed again and made my decision. I've done it before so I can do it again. I look down for the last time and transferred my gaze unto the mirror.

"Stop" I said and opened the back door as the ambulance halted.

"Sir, your wound needs some medication and how about the girl? The blonde one was dead and this one is critical. Sir we needed your-"

"I don't care. I don't care about her or that blonde! I’ll go now…" I got out of the ambulance and watch it go.

The only thing running in my mind is her face and as I walked down the road, I know that I would never, ever see her again....
