In The Wave

Chapter 17

Alexander’s P.O.V.

I sat in bed thinking about Jessica. I didn’t know where she was, or how she was doing, I thought this is what would be best for her, but why can’t I get her out of my head. I had finally reached my breaking point, So I decided to go to her house. When I got there I rang the doorbell only to find it wasn’t Jessicia who opened the door, but Juliet.

“Let me guess you’re looking for Jessicia well I’m sorry to say but you’re a little bit late, we got a call about an hour ago Jessicia shot herself in the head and it’s all your fault.” Suddenly Juliet turned into a bloody version of Jessicia there was a bullet hole in the side of her head, blood dripped down it, she was in a long white dress and barefoot.

“It’s all your fault.” she kept saying to me walking closer and closer to me holding a knife like she was going to stab me. I fell on the ground and just as she was about to shove the knife in my chest I woke up.

I was dripping with cold sweat. I got up, took a warm shower and drove over to her house. Thankfully it was only a nightmare.When I got there I rang the doorbell, when I saw Juliet answer it I feared I was living out my dream.

“Let me guess you’re looking for Jessicia well I’m sorry to say but you’re a little bit late,” My heart sank, now I was sure she was going to tell me Jessicia was dead “Jessicia is in greece visiting our cousins, so she’s not here, bye.” She closed the door on my face.

“Okay guess I’m going to greece.” I tell myself.

“Correction, we are going to greece.” I turned around and saw Jonas and Dominic standing there. Dominic was on the phone, while Jonas and I started talking.

Jessicia’s P.O.V.

I sat in my room thinking about tonight, for some reason I can’t help but feel like I'm cheating on Alexander, even though he broke up with me, so why does this feel so wrong.

I got up and decided to stop obsessing about things and get ready for dinner with Zion. I put on a light pink dress with lace and sparkles on the top half. While the bottom half puffed out a little bit. I curled my hair. I also put on a pair of sparkly sandals and grabbed a light pink clutch. I heard the doorbell ring, I ran out of the room and to the door, except Alek had already beat me there.

“Hey Zion, come on in, Jessicia is right here.” He came in and when he saw me his jaw dropped.

“Wow you look woah.” He said, causing me to blush.

“It’s sad how limited your vocabulary is.” Christian says as he walks in the room. “Take care of my little cousin, will you Zion?” 

“I definitely will.” Zion replies. We walk out the front door and down the stairs.

“SO where’s the car?” I ask him, he turns me and I see a horse drawn carriage then I knew I was in for a few surprises.

Alexander’s  P.O.V.

When we finally arrived in Greece we drove to the hotel and hacked our way into traffic cameras and spent hours searching them. After looking at the cameras for a bit though we found a picture of her in a car we tracked the plate number we saw and  hacked a few other things until we had an address. Then we made a plan. I was going to beg!!!!

Now normally I would never beg, but I’m kinda desperate to get her back. 

Jessicia’s P.O.V. 

When we got to the restaurant the hostess took us to our table. We looked at the menus then ordered while waiting for our food. We talked and got to know each other.

“So what is your favorite color?” He asked me.

“Oh blue and green, no doubt.”

“Okay why?” he asks

“Hey you asked one already, now it’s my turn.”

“Okay very well ask away.” He says fake rolling his eyes.

“What is your favorite Movie?”

“In Greek or english?”

“English,”

“Probably Jaws, what can I say I like horror and sharks make it even better.”

“Okay not bad, not bad.”

“Why are blue and green your favorite color?”

“Well it’s because those were my mom’s favorite, and she loved them because they reminded her of the ocean. See, my mom grew up in Australia on the coast and she learned to surf from her mom who learned from her dad and so forth. But she came and lived in the U.S when she was 16, cause my grandparents had moved to Florida. And since they still lived on the coast it was possible for her to surf, and eventually she went to competitions and one day she met my dad and they got married and had me and my sister, she taught me how to surf and we were always so close then a few years back she died in a plane crash. And so it just helps me feel closer to her in a way.” I say as memories of my mom come to mind. 

[Flashback to when she was nine]

I was nine years old, surfing was nothing new to me. I'd been doing it since I could swim. But today was the day mom had signed me up for my very first competition , I had a lot of fun and the way the water just let me ride it was awesome. It felt amazing. And when I had been announced the winner of that competition I could see how proud my mom was of me and how nervous my dad had been and how my mom hugged me made me feel like I could do anything.

[End of Flashback]

“Oh well I’m sorry if I brought up painful memories, but if it’s any consolation it sounds like your mom was a good person.”

“Thanks and she was.”

Alexander’s P.O.V.

We got to the house she was supposed to be at, but we decided to wait to make sure it was actually the right place. After thirty minutes of waiting we saw a horse drawn carriage pull out front. And there she was, along with a guy he had blonde hair and brown eyes. I instantly knew what was going on. She had gone on a date with him. I felt an abominable pain in my chest. I couldn't watch them. Stood up and walked over to them, they were almost to the porch, when I called her name.

“Jessicia!” I screamed.

“Alexander?” She replied shocked that I was here.”What are you doing here?” 

“I...I came to tell you something. I love you and I was scared that my lifestyle would get you hurt, but the more I think about it the more I can’t stand to be away from you and I don’t think you’ll forgive me but I wanna try to fix this. I want us to be together, but I won’t ask you to be my girlfriend again, this time will you be my wife?”

Jessicia’s P.O.V.

As soon as those words left his mouth I was shocked. I didn’t know he felt the same way about me that I did about him. I wanted to kiss him, but I didn’t know for sure if he was telling the truth. I was afraid too, but as Jillian Michals once said “Feel the fear, do it anyway.” It was time I took that one leap of faith that destroyed my fear, one that would be my greatest decision yet.

“Yes, Alexander Cruz I will marry you.” As soon as those words left my mouth he ran up to me and kissed me. It was like sparks flying violently, coming from our hearts. When we broke apart we realized that Zion was still there. I went to apologize, and that’s when he pointed a gun at me and...
