Alley POVWe finished breakfast and cleaned up our mess around Layla's house. I wasn't sure what we would do though so we headed back into the pool.Ethan was a little extra touchy with me but I didn't mind. He seemed to be in tune to every reaction Christian was having though. I was beginning to think he was trying to provoke him but I didn't care. We weren't really doing anything bad and Ace made it clear he was the bad guy I should stay away from. "Alley what is this? I'm guessing bike accident." Ethan asked tracing the scar over my shoulder. I suddenly felt vulnerable and my eyes shot to Christian. His face turned to pure rage as mine watered."What the fuck asshole? Stop getting in her space." Ace smacked his hand off me then pushed him."Ace. It's fine. I can talk for myself." I gave him a pointed look roping back my emotions."Stop fucking pissing me off Alley. Why are we even still here?""Why are you still here?" Ethan asked and I knew this was turning bad."Come on guys eno
Ace POVI don't know what possessed that girl but I'm not complaining. I said it before and I meant it. I will never regret anything I do with Alley. I knew it was wrong and she deserved someone better but every fiber of my being wanted to own her.We laid in bed a while both butt ass naked and as much as I wanted to feel her pussy wrapped around my dick, I wasn't taking her virginity. At least not today."We need to talk about this Ace." She huffed looking at me annoyed. I don't know if she was mad at me or the situation but I was on cloud fucking nine and just smiled at her."Talk about what baby?""Us, this.""What? We are friends that like to lay in bed naked with each other. Not seeing what we need to discuss.""You're an ass.""Yes, a very nice, hard ass, you love squeezing while sucking me off.""Shut it or my lips won't ever taste you again.""Hurtful but we both know you got off almost as much as I did. I give you a week before you are kneeling before me.""I hate you.""You
Alley POV"Alley I just wanted to asked if everything is ok?" My Latin teacher had a very concerned look on his face. I was always the quiet straight A student girl so I guess my little blow up with Ace caught him off guard."I'm fine. I promise. I can handle myself better than you obviously think.""Well, it was shocking how you stood up to Ace before but be careful. Someone like him could hurt you and I mean in ways that you would never recover from. His family is very powerful."I couldn't help but giggle at that. "I assure you I know exactly who Christian and his family is. We've been friends for the past ten years and I would be the first to say he is a total dick.""I can fucking hear you." Ace's voice rang in from the hall."Stop being a creep Acey boy. Anyways, yes, he is a total dick but he wouldn't hurt me. I would bet my life on it.""Well trust me, by trusting him you are betting your life. Just be careful ok." He moved closer whispering hoping Ace couldn't hear."What the
Ace POVAlley squeezed my hand so tight I wondered how the hell such a little girl was so strong but I didn't mind either. My head went blank the second I saw a pool of blood under her feet. I think I knew she wasn't going to die but I had never seen so much blood. I knew she felt sick all of sudden from the blood loss and my mind instantly went to the worst case scenario.My body just took over and every action after that moment became automatic. I didn't say a word and didn't even register what Derek had said anymore. I needed Alley to be ok then I could resume living mode.She only needed 3 stitches and they would dissolve in a week. Other than keeping off her feet as much as possible she was good. I drove Derek home in silence as a million thoughts attacked my brain.Did he really think I was like my father? That I would hurt Alley? One thing was for sure, I was not good enough for Alley in his eyes. I have to agree with him on that point but to completely disregard me as anything
Alley POVAll week I was spiraling but I couldn't let it win. By the time Friday came I lost it and tried to confront Christian but as always, he brushed me off. I left the lunch room and texted Ethan. I didn't want to just run into someone else's arms or use Ethan, but he was the closest friend I had at that moment.Christian was acting like we barely knew each other and Derek was being weird towards me all week. He seemed ok but put a huge barrier between us. I was upset with him for the way he lost it with Ace but I didn't say anything about it. The next day he left with some of the seniors and basically hasn't been home.He calls and texts me, but it is just distant. He completely shuts out Layla and barely talks to her too. He isn't mean. Just acts like I'm nothing but his little sister and Layla is my friend. I haven't completely forgotten what Layla said either but I understood where it was coming from. She apologized a hundred times but I think she knows I'm more closed off no
Ace POVI left for the city straight after our game Friday night but every mile I traveled away from Alley I felt my body ripping apart. I hated myself for the way I treated her all week but mostly I hated myself for missing out on this night with her. It was her first dance, first time wearing a pretty dress and spending the night out just being a kid at a stupid school dance.I imagined her in a hundred different dresses wanting to know desperately what color she picked. Long or short? Sparkly? Satin or cotton? I spent a few hours sipping whiskey at the lounge with associates from multiple companies my father owned and all I wanted to do was punch each of them in the face. Imagining how I could make them bleed was becoming my new way to feel calm. Elise was there again and she made sure to flaunt her body in front of me. Leaning into my side, stealing touches as her hand slid over my arm, and of course the long stares while her eyes trailed over my body. It wasn't like how Alley's
Alley POVWhen I found out Ace had gone to Seattle early my heart felt like it literally shattered. Every day that passed I prayed more and more he would be home for Christmas. Usually, the three of us spend Christmas break together. Ace always had some charities to attend to, but was never gone for more than a day.I sent so many messages to him that I knew I was bordering pathetic. I had so much I wanted to say to him but he wouldn't listen. If we didn't have a screaming match soon, I would surely explode.Christmas Eve, I spent in bed with movies playing in the background. Derek offered to stay home with me but I just wanted to be alone. Layla, Ethan and Katie had their family events to be at so I took this time to just wallow in self-pity. Besides my mom barely knew what day it was let alone it was a holiday so there wasn't much else to do. Even if she did, I would be the last person she wanted to spend time with and I was thankful for that. My phone was on my pillow with Ace's m
Ace POVI had to hang up on Alley or I would lose control. She was going to the biggest party that happened every New Year's at the Lake. It would be filled with drunk kids and a mass amount of drugs. Alvarez was the head of the drug operation in our town and he was of course put into place by my father. Tonight was his biggest night all year. Kids bought thousands of dollars' worth of shit and as much as we tried to keep the Lake scene away from the heavy drugs it always showed up in large amounts this night.I had already seen the shipment that was sent to Alvarez last week and it was filled with ecstasy, molly and acid. There was no way I was leaving Alley in the hands of Derek or Ethan at that party. I packed my stuff and told Daniel change of plan. He of course didn't question me and got his stuff together after rebooking our flights.I didn't even tell my father. I knew he would stay in the city for at least a week and I was looking forward to having the house to myself. It was
