Ace POVDerek was getting on my last nerve. How we were so close before I don't know. He looked at me just like my father did, worthless. Was he actually only friends with me for the benefit of my power? There is no way he ever really thought we were friends if he gave so much hate right now and I didn't even do anything.Alley was standing in front of me, arms crossed and pissed off. Damn it was so fucking sexy. "Fuck with me how exactly?" She demanded to know."Wouldn't you like to know?""Is this really all a game Christian? Are we done for good? Ten fucking years we were all inseparable. I don't know why you two are all of sudden mortal enemies but I'm not ready to throw it away. So, tell me! Are we done?"Her face was pure bitch, but her eyes showed me how my next words could shatter everything. I should say that I don't fucking care. That I want nothing from either of them and that they mean nothing to me, but I couldn't."Always so fucking dramatic, Alley. Derek is the one losi
Alley POVI don't know what is happening to me right now. Why do I constantly give in to him? I was completely naked on his bed with him sitting between my legs staring at my body. I didn't need to wonder if he liked what he saw. I knew that hunger in his eyes and he was always so blunt about what he was thinking.I moaned when he cleaned me up with a rag. For some reason these stupid little acts of caring were making me want him again. Then he bent down and kissed my pussy. I don't know what he was like with other girls but I couldn't believe he was like this with them too. Probably my own stupid self-trying to make me feel special but I wasn't going to lie and say I didn't love the way he made me feel.He leaned back down taking my lips again and we just laid there making out for at least a half an hour. We felt every curve of our body's, testing what got a reaction from each other. My hand slid under his pants and grabbed his ass and he moaned out. "Do you know how long I wonder w
Ace POVEverything inside me is in over drive. I punched at least ten holes in the walls at my house, beat two class mates for pissing me off and even sucker punched a teacher who tried ripping us apart. He deserved it for getting in my way though. I had a few arguments with Derek and he is lucky he walked away without a scratch. I was so tired of hearing him run his mouth about me. How he looked at me like I killed his little sister. Yeah, I was being a total dick, even to Alley, but why the fuck Derek turned on me I don't understand. I always protected both of them and now because I lost my temper a few times I'm nothing but a bastard like my father.I went into the city Tuesday and Wednesday and made every fucker in that office run around doing one pointless task after the other. They thought my father was prick they had no idea. I didn't force sex and drugs on them like he did so it wasn't nearly as bad as it could be though. I would never sink that low. I actually started to fe
Alley POVI don't know what happened in that locker room but I saw a glimpse of that monster Derek said lived inside Ace. Maybe he was right. Maybe Christian was just like his father, but I refused to see it.Ace beat the shit out of plenty people, I even witnessed him do it twice this week while also taking a swing at a teacher. Seeing him beat my brother though, that was something else. I guess I thought he still had some heart because he loved us but that was gone now. I was nothing but a toy and Derek was nothing but trash getting in his way. How he fell so far in my eyes I don't know but I knew it was his fault. He constantly made bad choices, pushed us away, and tried to prove he was a monster. Me: If your goal was to prove you are just like your father then congratulations you've won yet another game. I fold and you win all games, just leave us alone. Good bye Christian. I sent my message and then deleted his number and blocked him everywhere. Probably childish but I didn't
Ace POVI headed to Alvarez only to find none other than fucking Derek there as one of his lap dogs. So, this is what he was up to. Moving drugs for a drug dealer and I'm the scum bag. He was such a hypocrite."What the fuck is he doing he?" Derek called out to Alvarez. He had some balls too. Alvarez was a tough fucker with no soul. Even not knowing that he was a pretty big dude covered in tats. Not someone you demanded an explanation from."Take it down a notch before I remove that tongue." Alvarez shot back at him but there was not an ounce of anger in his words. He liked Derek or needed him."What did I do to get the pleasure of Daddy sending his golden boy down here?""You know what the fuck you did. Let's make this easy and tell me who's been giving you shit behind my father's back and we can all go about our business.""Come on Ace my boy. You know I'm loyal to only your father. Let's have a drink, maybe sample some of the goods.""You know I don't touch that shit and you know m
Ace POVI stood up wobbly but Christian kept his hands on my waist supporting me. "Thank you." I whispered to him for catching me as I was falling again. He gave me the cheesiest look filled with so much love. Why was he being so openly nice to me? Before I could ask, pain radiated in my ankle as I stepped toward the ambulance. I must have twisted it in the fight."Do I have to get in there? Can't you drive me Ace?" I really didn't want to ride in one of them. "Anything you want Alley." He replied and I shot him a suspicious look. He was being too nice."Christian what is... What the fuck!" My eyes found Randy lying dead on the ground with his face mangled. My hand flew over my mouth and as much as I wanted to look away I couldn't."That motherfucker will never touch you again. That I promise." Christian had pure hate in his eyes as he looked over to Randy. I just realized Ace was covered in blood and his knuckles were split open. He went to guide me to look away but I looked at the
Ace POVI couldn't fall asleep no matter how much I tried. Every time I drifted asleep the image of Randy on top of her flooded my thoughts. I had to push them out of my head, but then all the what ifs started. What if I didn't go to the lake? I wasn't planning on it until my dad made me deal with Alvarez. What if I didn't run as fast? What if I didn't start running the second I heard her scream? What if we found her dead after Randy took her body? What if it happens again? My head was spinning with memories of what I did see, images of what could have happened and hundreds of other possibilities. My body kept tensing and a few times Alley winced in her sleep from me holding her too tight. Even though she was in my arms I wanted to be closer to her. I know it made no sense but nothing made sense anymore. I didn't give a shit how anything in life played out other than this girl's life. I didn't know how to protect her, how to love her. All I knew was that I was never letting her go.
Alley POVThe rest of the week I stayed with Ace and we hung out wrapped around each other. He was supposed to go into the city but he told his dad he had a big game coming up. One thing his dad caved for was winning any kind of competition. He wanted the Blackwood name to be known as the smartest, sexist, most ruthless, and even most athletic out of anyone else. We didn't talk about what happened that night or anything that we fought about the weeks before. We were just us again. I had my friends over again Thursday night but I could still see the distance between Ace and my brother. Derek and Layla seemed to be a lot closer so I was happy about that. Ethan brought Jess with him and I was starting to warm up to her. She didn't grow up here so I'm sure this fucked up little town was strange to her. I was giving her the benefit of the doubt plus Ethan seemed to be happy and he deserved that.At school no one so much as gave me a dirty look. The whole school knew that even if Christian
