Over

Collier’s POV

Something is very wrong with me. I am not a damn animal. Why does everything with Ally feel so primal? I can sense her. It’s like fire in my veins. I can feel her. I feel so protective of her it isn’t normal. Madison is lucky I didn’t rip her face off for talking to Ally like that. I mean really… I saw red and for a moment and I didn’t feel like I could control it. When she came busting out of the door towards us, it was all I could do to keep my anger and check. I never can look at ALLY being that upset again. Spent around to face Madison. The only thing I could get out of my mouth that would keep me calm was “We are over. I don’t love you and I’ve never truly loved you. We’re done.”

The next few minutes were a blur of tears, begging, and then came the words that almost cost her life “she will regret this”

Luckily for Madison, Jack and Kayden had come outside to see what was going on and were able to restrain me. None of this was normal and I knew that, but I had to have her; every inch of her, every thought, every movement, everything. She. Was. Mine.

Ally’s POV

It had been a month with probably 80 missed calls and 200 text messages which I was not responding to you. I knew at this point that I was a problem for him and he had a life in place. It wasn’t going to be worth it for me or fair to anyone else to be inserted into this life. And focus primarily on my kids we had taken a trip out of state. Enjoyed some New England coastline learned a lot of history and really focused on growth for all of us. We were in a really good place. We had just put an offer on a house and really started seeing things come to fruition for all of our hard work. My kids were excited and enjoying their lives as well. Has luck would have it. I was out with one of my girlfriends enjoying few drinks at a bar that was local to my hometown. And a twisted sense of fate I looked up to see Collier, Jack, Kayden, and a couple of other people I didn’t recognize I knew my luck could not really be this bad so Pretended not to see them hoping they wouldn’t notice me. Unfortunately, I could still feel the moment that he had walked into the bar and was just hoping that he wasn’t able to feel the same type of pull that I was feeling.

I was wrong. Very wrong. It was as if someone had pulled him right to me. As my luck was indeed that bad. They sat the 5 men right next to Cass and me.

He wasted no time acknowledging me and talking as if I had not spent the last month ignoring him. He introduced me to his brother, Asher. Asher was good looking. Not as much a Collier but definitely had an air to him that I wasn’t sure of.

“Why are you ignoring me?” He whispered to me in a tone that made my body lurch for him.

“ I told you,you are in a relationship and I’m not messing with that. It’s not fair to her and it isn’t fair to me and she has every right to be angry and hate me. Please just let me be.”

“ What if I told you that we had broke up? That change anything?” He persisted.

My phone started ringing and as it was my daughter, I took the opportunity to step outside and take the call.

When I turned around Asher was standing there. I felt an inexplicable surge of panic. He said he just wanted to check on me because I seemed stressed.

After quickly reassuring him that I was fine I tried to step around however, he seemed to have another idea. “Why don’t you let me take you out?”

“I really am not looking for a relationship right now, thanks though”

“Well neither am I, that works out” he prodded.

“I have to go. Sorry.” I spouted as I pushed past him to go in to grab my purse and let Cass know I was leaving.

The next day I woke up to several texts. One was from an unknown number. It was Asher and he wanted to hang out. They were having a get together at a local bowling alley. “Fine” I thought. “what do I have to lose?” My, my how wrong I was.
