Alec

Aideen stroked my back.

"And if cheatin' wasn't bad enough, he did it with them on the bed we shared. The bed we had sex in for the first time. It makes me feel sick to me stomach."

Aideen held me tightly as my voice cracked.

I closed my eyes and chuckled. "Micah and Jason got married today."

"I know... the stupid bitch."

I laughed, and so did Aideen.

And for a second I didn't feel so broken.

"You're up."

I smiled at Aideen four days later when I emerged from my bedroom.

"I'm up."

She placed her hands on her hips.

"You're showered."

I looked down to myself and then back up.

"I'm showered."

Aideen smiled. "Thank God, you were startin' to reek."

I laughed. "Bitch."

Aideen beamed. "Are you goin' to dry you hair?"

I shook my head. "Can't be arsed."

Aideen gestured to the chair nearest to me.

"Park it and I'll plait it."

I happily did as asked and sat down while Aideen French plaited my hair.

"Have you eaten anythin'?"

I nodded my head. "I had a few slices of toast."

Aideen blew out a relieved breath. "I'm so happy, I thought I was goin' to have to force feed you today."

I chuckled. "I'm fine Ado – I'm washed, feed, and fully clothed."

"Yeah, but how is your head doin'?"

I lightly smiled. "Me head isn't what's hurtin'."

"I know babe," Aideen finished off my plait and cuddled me to her.

"Since you're up and dressed I'm liftin' your Storm ban."

Yay!

"It's evil that you kept him at the ke

Aideen came around and shrugged. "I had to take matters into my own hands when you wouldn't leave your room. I knew a Storm ban would get you out sooner rather than later."

Evil cow.

"Well, I'm out now so go and get me baby."

Aideen saluted me. "On it boss!"

I chuckled as she grabbed her keys and literally skipped out of the apartment.

"Bloody weirdo," I said when she left.

To keep me occupied I spent a few minutes tidying up the kitchen and when I had nothing left to do I sat down. I was sat at my kitchen table only a few seconds when a knock came from my door and I rolled my eyes.

Aideen probably forgot something.

I walked over to the door and opened it. "What did you forget this time-"

I cut myself off when the person I was looking at was not Keela.

"Hello kitten."

It was Alec.

I stared at Alec for a long moment and I noticed he looked like shite, he had bags under his eyes and he looked like he'd lost weight.

He looked how I felt.

I shook my head and tried to slam the door shut, but Alec jammed his foot between the door and the doorframe preventing it from closing.

"Please, kitten-"

"Don't! Don't call me that!"

I pushed against the door as hard as I could trying to force it closed, but Alec pushed back against the door. He was stronger than me and once the door was pushed open he made his way into my apartment.

"Get out!" I screamed.

Alec closed the door behind him and turned the lock.

I walked backwards into the kitchen and looked for a weapon. Alec saw my eyes dart around the room and he frowned as he removed his jacket.

"I'm not going to hurt you Keela, you know I'm not."

I laughed. "I don't know you so I've no fuckin' idea what you're capable of."

Alec looked vulnerable as he stared at me.

I couldn't look him in the eyes so I focused on his chin instead.

"What are you doin' here? Do you not think you have fucked me over enough?"

Alec looked at me, his gaze uncertain.

"I'm sorry... I needed to see you."

"Why?"

He took a deep breath and said, "Because I missed you."

He missed me?

Oh, that was rich.

I humourlessly laughed. "You missed me? Did you miss me when you were fuckin' Everly and Dante?"

Alec flinched. "I deserve that."

"No Alec you deserve to be hit by a double decker bus, that is what you deserve."

Alec nodded his head. "I agree."

I glared at him. "Don't agree with me."

"Okay."

I snarled, "Don't do what I say to appease me either."

Alec opened his mouth to speak but thought better of it and closed his mouth.

He was silent for a moment then said, "I don't know what to do then."

I pointed to the door.

"I do, you can leave."

Alec shook his head. "I'm not going anywhere."

I swore.

"What the fuck is with you and Kane? When I say leave, I mean fuckin' leave!"

Alec didn't move or respond to me and it infuriated me.

"Are you enjoin' this?" I snapped. "Did you just come by to see if I was crying over you? Does it get you off to know what a sick and twisted piece of dirt you are?"

Alec look dejected but I wasn't falling for his sad puppy dog eyes.

No fucking way.

"I'm here because I needed to see you. I told you... I missed you."

"I don't believe you."

Alec swallowed. "I'm sorry."

All the hurt, anger, and sadness that I had bottled up over the past few days exploded out of me.

"What are you sorry for? Tell me exactly?"

Alec didn't speak he only stared at me.

"I'd imagine you're sorry for shaggin' me auntie and that piece of filth of a boy toy. But you have a lot more to be sorry for than just that and you have a lot more to answer for."

I began to pace back and fourth.

"I know it was set up and not somethin' spontaneous, you pla

Alec looked down and nodded his head. "Yeah, I wasn't sure on the details of the meet so when you were up dancing with Micah I sought out Everly and found out."

I closed my eyes.

"And earlier that day, after the welcome di

Alec looked up and blinked. "It wasn't just sex with us Keela. I wanted to have you... even if it was just once."

I gasped. "You wanted me body at least once because you knew after I found out what you did I would never want you to touch me again?"

Alec licked his lips and looked back down. "Yes and no."

"What does yes and no mean?" I snapped.

"Yes I wanted to be with you because I knew it would be my only chance, and no because I didn't 'just want your body'... I needed it."

I grimaced in disgust and Alec shook his head.

"I don't mean it how it sounds."

"How do you mean it then?"

Alec shrugged. "I don't know how to word it."
