Another Chance In Progress

5 Chad

- So you left me alone back there for this?!?! - she asks, pointing for the couch.

- Hell yes... And you know what? You are definitely not worth my time. - Jullien answers, letting her know they're through. He looks at me. - I'm sorry man, I never thought she was mental, and I had a crush on her. But nothing happened before your break up.

I didn't even looked surprised, I let him know that this motherfucker here knew he was doing his ex and never gave it away... Well, at least he knows there's no hard feelings.

Of course, Lilly wouldn't just accept it.

- Oh, and you must be Chad's new w***e! Did you know that he would listen to us every night and never once found out his roommate was f*****g me?!?! - she screams and earns a curious look from all of us.

Meanwhile, the red head answers:

- Oh, great! You must be proud of yourself... And what makes you think I care about that?

This caught her out of guard.

- I'm sorry?

- Yes, you must be really proud of being in the next room of your kid's father doin' it with his pall! That's really mature of you! But, again, that's none of my concern.

Right now, Alin's it's bothered by her reaction, but probably not in the way Lilly wanted.

- So you're okay with being with an i***t that won't even fight for his woman?!?!

- Yes, I am. He moved on. And it's a good thing he moved on, at least he realised it on time, before he spent his whole life believing you were good enough for him.

- You little bitch... You think I'll let you have him? - now she's whispering menacingly.

I interfere now.

- I don't think that's your choice anymore.

She looks at me, surprised for my words.

- You were the one to break up with me, you don't have the right to claim me back just because. I left you behind and that's where you belong, Lilly. In the past.

- Chad, baby...

- Don't "baby" me! You think I would look back for a second? I went down after you left, but never once I thought about going back with you. - I get up from the couch, startled by my own anger - You won't ever be a part of my life again, and that's final.

Do you know what that b***h does?! She hits me. Right. In. The. Face.

- What are you going to do now, Chad? I know you won't hit me, will you? - she asks provoking me and rises her hand to strike again.

Her hand, though, it's caught mid air for Alin.

- He won't, but I certainly might.

She tries to hit Alin with her other hand, but Alin dodges her hand and punches her in the stomach. That finished her off. The red head then takes her by the hair to the door and throws her out. Nice finale if you ask me!! I was thinking about taking away her teeth! But it was a relief that I had someone by my side to prevent me from ruining my life.

Throughout the whole thing, Julien it's shocked on the couch and I sit right next to him. He gets up and goes to the fridge fetching 3 beers. At first, none of us talks. Alin takes the beer, sits next to me and it's the first one breaking the silence.

- That was one f****d up lady, guys!

For some reason, the three of us laugh out loud for a while, and have a toast. I feel like I'll have Jullien back now.

- Hey, Chad? - I nod to let him know he has my attention - I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about her. But you knew, didn't you?

- Bro, that woman does nothing to prove me wrong. I knew she wouldn't let me be and would find a way to humiliate me, somehow. - I tell him frankly.

- I never thought she was like this... I kept it a secret so that could be sure I was ready to talk to you about coming clean about her. But the more the time went by, the more I realised she was not for me.

- I know, man. - I assure him - I know you wouldn't betray me. And to be honest, I would never come between you if you chose to be with her. I dealt with it when we broke up, period. It isn't a betrayal when things are sorted out.

- But, to be honest, she was already hitting on me before you guys ended. - he tells me.

- I believe you. - I confirm - She did that with Ashton and Hugh. But they saw too much to even think about being with her. You didn't. You stepped into the game when it was ending, so you missed a lot. Lilly... Lilly's only goal was to keep me binded to her. She thought she could control me from afar.

- That's sick. I hope she learned something today. - he mutters.

- Oh no, trust me. After this, she'll have my neck in court.

- What?!?! - this time, Alin was the one to interfere.

- Yes, she will build a story about how I assaulted her for being with someone else.

- She can try... - Jullien says searching his phone - But it'll be hard to go against this.

He shows me a footage of all that happened, including her coming at me and the rest of it. I could almost kiss the i***t.

- When I saw you getting up, I knew I had to register the following events. My father's a lawyer, remember?... - Jullien smirks at me.

- You sneaky motherfucker!! - I laugh.

- Let her come, man. We'll put this to an end.

Throughout the rest of the night, the three of us watched movies and drank and ate the whole stock of snacks. Alin was like one of the palls, she even shared dirty jokes. That was a breath of fresh air.
