Chapter 57

“It would never be okay if he was on this earth or a free man”.

“I wanna know something…” I say the moment I walk into Nik’s office. Caught off guard, I watch him slowly sit up looking at me a small frown on my face.

“Can’t you fucking knock Alison ?” he sighs, he looked tired, angry, sleepy, frustrated. But not too tired or frustrated to be messing with me.

“What’s she doing in my room?” I cut to the chase pointing to the direction I’m hoping my room is. I watch as his facial expression changes and he smiles slowly.

“Cammon Ali I know you miss having fun and just because you’re under my roof doesn’t mean you have to stop”. Just as I suspected, he brought her here… of-fucking-course. I nod smiling just like he is, as I catch on to what he is hinting towards.

“Ohh…” I laugh a bit and he laughs too pointing me like the sick man he is “Yeah get her out of my room now”, I immediately scowl.

“Wait, wait, wait… where’s your crazy ex though ?” Drew questions and I look at him deep in thought for a minute or two. Huh-

“The last time I saw her she told me I’m not allowed to get over her and we’re soulmates and it was at my gym, and then-” I pause for a while “Well I don’t give a shit where she is, she could be gone with Nik for all I care”. I shrug glaring hard at Drew for asking me such a dumb question, was I supposed to be keeping tabs on that crazy bitch or something?

“Fair point” Austin agrees “See, I noticed how weird she was acting and hitting on you with her words and eyes at times, it’s like she’s obsessed with you, how has she never gotten over you? that’s weird as fuck-“.

“That’s why you’re supposed to ensure that she’s actually gone and out of your life, she might be more dangerous than your dad for all we know” Drew points me sitting up on his couch and I consider his words for a while. Lets see, she thought that we were meant to be together, trusted that we’d end up together no matter what, and was willing to listen to my psycho father…

Here everybody called me Alison, here everybody expected me to be tough and ruthless, here I earned respect and fear not because of who I was but because of who I was related to. Here no one cared to know me, no one cared for me, here I had no one except myself. As much as I despised this life, as much as I didn’t like the thought of beating up people half to death it was all I could do to stay sane and protect myself, it was also all I could do because it was what I was brought to do.
