“You don’t love him.”
“Blaise, I do love him.”
“Not in the way you love me.”
She shook her head. “They aren’t comparable….”
He grabbed her hand. “Alexandra, please.”
“That’s it!” Paul pulled Alexandra out of the way then punched Blaise in the face as hard as he could. “Don’t fucking touch her!” Blaise stumbled back then touched his nose. The blood seeped out.
“Paul!” Alexandra yelled.
Blaise looked more livid than she had ever seen him. He looked like he would murder Paul and mixe his body parts in with manure.
She raised her hand. “Don’t touch him, Blaise.”
He wiped the blood away but backed off.
Paul still looked pissed. “You had her but you fucked it up. Now she’s mine. And I’m not going to mess this relationship up again. We may have been broken up for a while, but she’s always been mine. She will always be mine. She’s fucking mine.” Blaise glared at him. “Nothing you do will change that. She picked me. It’s over. It’s over! Now go back to your pathetic life with that girl you knocked up.” He grabbed Alexandra by the hand. “Let’s go. I don’t fucking have time for this.”
Alexandra let him put her in the passenger seat before he came to the driver’s side. She looked out the window and saw Blaise standing in the same place. The blood dripped from his nose and down his chin. The look in his eyes showed his pain, but not because of the cut. He stared at Alexandra with a mournful look, like it was the last time he’d ever see her.
Paul pulled out of the driveway and headed to the road. He said nothing as he gripped the steering wheel. The tension increased as they drove. The sight of the beautiful pastures and the land didn’t clear her head like it usually did. Somehow she made her life even worse with all her mistakes. Alexandra felt dead inside, numb because she hurt everyone around her.
She knew Blaise was still standing in the driveway, watching their car disappear down the road and into the distance. She knew how much his heart throbbed because she felt it too. The love she had for Blaise was powerful and undeniable, but she started to let it go the further away they drove. Paul was the man in her life, the person she chose to be with. And she had to stick to that decision, jumping headfirst.
