Morning

"JOSEPH!" I shouted, banging on his door. Every piece of anger sizzled up as I hit it even harder, leaving small dents. "Joseph, please! Just open the door! I'm sorry!" I screamed, to no response.

I pulled my phone out, calling him. It rung for a few seconds, but quickly declined. He blocked me... "I'm sorry!" I shouted, hitting his door.

"Please, just open the fucking door!" I sobbed, slamming my fist into it.

I sunk to the floor, sobbing. Every tear stinging my eyes, and the pain in my chest wasn't helping. "Is everything alright?" an old lady said from next door. She wore a white robe and pink slippers.

"Everything's fucking fine. Fuck off!" I cried. She scurried away into her house and his driveway caught my eye. His car wasn't even there. I'm such a dumbass... he must be at his parents... I ran down the driveway, getting in my car. I started the engine and speeded down his neighborhood. I squeezed my phone in anger as it rang. It was an unknown number. I put it to my ear, getting increasingly more annoyed with traffic. "Who is this?" I fumed.

"Hey, again Alexis..." A familiar voice said.

"What the fuck do you want, Rachel?"

"To laugh at you, your boyfriend is engaged. Did you know that?" She chuckled.

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

"He's engaged to his childhood best friend. This article says..." She trailed, clicking on something. "Famous entrepreneur engaged to famous therapist branded couple of the year..." she laughed.

"You're lying..." I seethed, wiping my face of tears.

"I'm not and it's sad... poor Alex fucked it up again." She mocked. I could hear faint music in the background and I knew where she was. "Act like you're going to his house," My father said.

"He's at his parent's house... I'll ask him then!"

She giggled, hanging up, and I turned around going towards the club. My foot stepped on the pedal and the urge to kill her filled my veins. The drive there was short and every inch of my body was ready to cut her. As I got out of my car. The bouncer nodded at me and my boots stomped into the club. The music felt louder than before, only because of Joseph. Being with him was peaceful.

"Alexis!" Axe shouted, wrapping his arm around my shoulder. "It's been a while, the money's just been stacking!" he grinned as I shrugged him off.

"You let that bitch in my club?"

"Rachel? She said you guys were cool..."

"Where is she?"

"V.I.P section..." he murmured in fear.

I pulled my knife out of my back pocket, going through the crowd of people. Eventually, I got to the V.I.P section and there she was, sitting next to some guy. "All of you, get the fuck out!" 

Most recognized me and ran out, but she didn't and neither did the dude next to her. She had a grin on her face and the guy stared me down. "Alexis... You found me." 

I got closer to her, but the guy quickly pushed me away. The pain in my ribs shot through my body and my knife went into his neck. His eyes shot open in pain as I twisted it, snatching it out of his neck. He backed away in fear, holding his neck, trying to contain the blood that was seeping out like a waterfall at this point. I just smiled, pushing him to the floor. My eyes went to her fear-stricken eyes. "You fucked up everything for me!"

She quivered in fear, trying to get up, but I quickly pushed her back down onto the couch. "Alex-" she stammered. "It doesn't have to go this far..."

I put the knife to her neck, slowly putting more pressure. "Do you understand what you did to me?"

Tears ran down her face as she quivered in fear. "You started this! You told everyone about me, about what I did that night we went out. It was only fair you get the same treatment!"

I grabbed her neck, tracing the knife down the side of her face. Drawing blood. "You think I give a fuck about you having sex for money? You took the one thing I cared about. AWAY FROM ME!"

"Wait! Wait!" she screamed, but I shoved the knife into her cheek. She gathered the strength to push me off, but I quickly got on top of her, shoving it into the side of her head. Blood splattered out, and I quickly backed away. There was a certain feeling to have her dead. A good feeling.

I heard two footsteps from behind me and I quickly turned around, aiming my knife at them. Axe raised his hands in fear. "Want me to call up the guys?"

"Yeah, tell them to get rid of the bodies." I muttered, stepping over the guy's body making my way out of V.I.P. I nodded my head to the beat of the music playing walking out of the club. The adrenaline traveled through me as I got in my car.

Evening...

The drive to his parent's house was quick. I'd sped through traffic and red lights hoping she was lying, and if she wasn't? That blonde dickhead would fucking die. I'd make him suffer. Pulling up to his parent's gate, I had to catch my breath. Every exhale felt like a hit to my ribs, but it was worth it. "Identification." The machine said.

"Alex."

It turned red, making an error sound. "Not allowed, residence being called..."

The machine rang for a little before his brother's voice came through. "Alex? What are you doing here?"

"Use him to get close." The whisper stressed. "Here for you, fuck Joseph..." it hurt for the words to come out my mouth but they did.

"Took you long enough!" He giggled as the gates opened. I drove in and that night came up in my head. Having him in my arms, feeding him cake. The thoughts only made me more pissed. I parked and his brother sat at the front door smirking. "Guessing you heard my brother is engaged?"

"Bullshit." I scoffed.

He opened the door for me. "It is bullshit. My parents went out to plan the wedding with Lance. Can you believe that? He's planning it way ahead of time cause they're madly in love..." He mocked. "Fuck them and my brother!"

His face turned red as he stomped around the tile floor. "My brother bought him all these gifts and stuff, and my father was telling him how proud he was- it just PISSED me off!" He screamed. His face scrunched up into an ugly frown and all I could think of was how jealous he fucking was. "Comfort him." My father scolded. I pulled him into a hug, trying to imagine Joseph.

"Don't get upset, I'm here..."

His fake ass sniffles made me wanna punch him in his face. He looked up at me and he definitely wasn't the favored brother in looks. He looked like a homeless man. His rough beard and unkempt hair weren't attractive in the slightest. "Kiss me, daddy."

My body cringed hearing that, but I did it, trying to imagine Joseph as much as I could. He didn't have that strawberry taste. I missed so much... Our lips separated and he smiled, grabbing my hand. "You wanna be my date tonight? It's gonna be a huge party for my stupid fucking brother and his FIANCE..." He mocked.

He's so childish, and it pisses me off, but this can work in my favor... "Say yes and get Joseph alone." I put on a smile, whispering in his ear. "Of course, I will."
