Welcome back to the present people! I hope you liked Flashback parts! I absolutely enjoyed writing them!

I was counting the factors for which I despised Riley so much. I and Harvin broke up because of her, Alec abandoned me because of her, she dated Alec and made me cry myself to sleep. Now, reconnecting with him again. Wasn't this much enough? Wasn't that witch ever sufficed.

I was looking out of the window of the car, thinking about Harvin. Maybe things could have ended better. Maybe I can still give him another freaking chance. A chance to explain himself and that debacle and why he did it. After that year of high school he left Yorkshire. And from that day on I never saw him again. It's like he disappeared. Just got lost. I didn't know what to do like always, I was confused.

My thoughts were already jumbled between loving Alexis and liking Harvin and now my heart was a mess too. I was having paroxyms of different emotions. One thing I was sure about I wasn't talking to Alexis not now, and I didn't know for how long. Whatever now happens is his fault.

Riley had hurt both of us. And I wasn't giving that devil another chance. I couldn't call Chloe right now because she had gone on a date with Nick. So I told Edwin that I wanted to talk to his girlfriend and Alex's sister, Ines. First, he opposed my decision in case Alex turned up again. But I was very firm. So he dropped me to the Thompsons house. As soon as I rang the doorbell, Ines opened the door. Thank God!

" sorry, littly Alex is not at home "she said before I could enter and was ready to shut the door. Yes, she called me littly too. No doubt I took her as my sister. But I hated being called littly at the legit age if 18. Seeing the 'as if I didn't know ' look on my face she finally let me enter.

" what's the matter, Blythe? " the speed at which she could sense that something was something that never failed to surprise me.

" everything. "
" stop being sarcastic and start being specific. " she said with an edge. Oops got to spill it. Ines on an edge was always dangerous.
" I think Alec is giving the devil another chance. And he is with her at domino's right now " I deadpanned.

Yes, we both called Riley the devil after Alexis and Riley broke up. This was one secret I had kept from him. Of course, not to forget the secret that involved loving him with all my heart.

"don't you say that! Is he out of his wits or something. " she yelled.

" Maybe he doesn't have any wits! " I joked. I didn't know how else to react if not cry or yell.

" you are right on that, babe " she joked back. We both laughed. I had felt like days when I last laughed like really laughed. That's the reason I came here instead of anywhere.

She was a person who could literally make worry vanish. Ines could turn anything in a joke, and I really mean it when I say this, anything . But we both knew that one more blow from Alexis and my heart will be annihilated.

" does one - sided love hurt? " she asked innocently and all of a sudden breaking the silence between us . She said what I was exactly feeling. She didn't know how it felt because she and Edwin had dated each other from the beginning of time. Like legit.

" one sided love, doesn't just hurt, it breaks you " I replied truthfully. I didn't know what else to say. It's actually how I felt. Broken. Instead of giving Riley so many chances he could just give me one chance. Just one chance.

After a few minutes of silence, I heard the door open. And then Alex entered. Shit! This wasn't supposed to happen. I did the only thing I could think of. Run. So I took all my things and reached for the entrance . But he was faster than I was. Obviously.

" did you come to domino's? " he sad blocking goes the entrance, sounding stern

" it's none of your business, Alex. " I replied annoyed and waiting to get out of his grasp.

" shit, she's mad at me. " he cursed under his breath. Obviously he didn't want me hear that but, I had sharp ears. I gave another shot at reaching the door, but I again was trapped by Alex.

" don't go. " he pleaded.
" I can't stay Alex. " I said firmly.

" I can't let you go. Not again. "
" you can't let go of her and I can't stay if she's here. "

" please don't do this. " look who was talking. He shouldnt have done it instead he is telling me not to.
" I can't hang around all the time. "
" I don't want this to happen. "
" you can't change it either. "

" let her go." Ines said interrupting our little conversation. Her voice stern.

" I can't let either of you go. " Alexis said. Implying to Riley and me .

" you have to let one of us go then. And I think it's me. Be happy, Alex. "

" I can't be happy without you. "
" Riley will keep you happy. "

" my girlfriend can't ever take the place of my best friend. "

" she has done it once before this, she'll manage it better this time with me already out of the way. "

" you may think you are out of the way, but you can't keep yourself out of my mind, remember this. "

" my presence won't disturb both of you anymore. "
" it never had. " he said.
"it did and that is the only reason you were made to choose two years ago."

" but I didn't choose, did I? "
" well, I think it's time you do. "My voice ending the conversation.

With that said I left. I didn't want to cry. I didn't  want him to see me cry. Because one cry of comfort and I would melt, again. Riley's intervention in our lives had destroyed us once, and again I couldn't do anything to save our friendship,again.

Except leave.

Please don't kill me !!!!! I know it hurts to see both of them fighting but these fights make them stronger. Don't worry they'll be back soon....

Love,
Pranati.
