#HOW CAN I FORGET?#

ALEX'S POV

"Where are we headed exactly Alex?" Dan asks while driving as I gave him instructions.

"Hold your horses' buttercup." I say in response as he gives a scoffs.

"Are you ever going to tell me why buttercup?"

"Not yet buttercup." He just gives an annoyed groan and pulls up to my previous apartment block. The one with Jace.

I was brought back to reality when my phone vibrates in my pocket. Reading the ID caller "DON'T PICK UP" that I specifically saved for Mythias and so I deny the call.

"I will be back in a minute. Just need to check something." I say and just before I closed the door shut I hear his phone ringing.

I slightly sprinted wanting to get in and get out as fast as I could because I had a gut feeling something was off.

I shake my head when I hear buttercup signally with his arms waving wildly at me to come back. I raise my index finger signalling 1 minute and head as fast as I could using the steps.

I heard his heavy footsteps probably after but then I heard it fade as I went inside to see it empty. With a few boxes lying here and there. It was like as if I never existed.

I go inside the closet in my previous room and pulled a piece of wood to get the spare key I hid from Jace in case I needed to rescue him from the men that were after me. It felt like decades ago.

Of course now I know he is capable of protecting himself or is he? I just couldn't believe he would do this. Or was it even him?

I hold in my anger and push into his apartment looking for the one thing that could potentially help us. Us? Who's us? I am a Night Fallen. I am on my own Alex.

No 'Red Knights' and No 'Black Anarchy'.

I place the box I hoped to find my backpack and sprinted down and feel my breath hitch when I find Mythias and another vehicle parked beside buttercups' Black McLaren P1 with the driver's side door open and his phone smashed on the ground.

Fuck! I should've listened.

MYTHIAS' POV

After getting the lead on Blackwell (Jace) we ended up to an abandoned farm house with the owner looking as confused as we were. The farmers wife looked terrified and almost fainted and we returned only to find out it was a trap when the barns shed blew up.

I called Dan and so did Jake warning him to keep his guard up. I was frustrated when Alex didn't pick up my call so I asked Jake to track down where they were. And here we are now with Alex's eyes filled with regret and rage when she turned towards me.

"We have to get you back." Jake says nearing and she steps away knowing what exactly happened. Dan was gone. He could be anywhere and to say I was barley keeping it together was an understatement.

"I can get there myself." She says and gets into Dan's car as we all make our way back to the house.

Feeling the anger of losing my best friend I make my way to the training room. It was empty since everyone was hell bent on finding him. I tighten my core and try to breathe slowly. Control. I lift myself up and hold the position feeling my body lighten as I lifted my body with my arms.

"Calisthenics. Didn't know you were a fan." I hear her voice echo through the room as she nears. I still hold my position not letting go and continue to control my breathing.

"Never too late to learn." I say while looking up to her as she bit her lips crossing her arms over her chest. She looked as if she was taking it to consideration but then she speaks her thoughts.

"Already have but haven't done it in a while. Look straight, your straining your neck genius." She says while I give her a slope sided grin.

"You know it's not your fault. Dan can take care of himself for a while."

"Keep talking and your neck might just fall off." She says while laying down in front of me. Now her head was directly under mine.

I was so close to her that a kiss right now was too tempting. Especially with her chest rising and falling as if she was the one holding her weight and trying not to fall on someone.

"I'm sorry Mythias... for everything." She says when a smirk forms on my lips and a million emotion flashes through her eyes. Her beautiful light blue orbs.

"Don't mention it." And just like that I feel myself giving up. I couldn't help it when I claimed her lips. The softness and the sweetness of it, she tasted like raspberry and something even more sweet.

Her hands lifted up and tangled with my hair earning a groan from me as I slowly start to lower myself but she pulls away.

"Give me 30 push ups... you've got to earn it sweetie." She says while a blush tinted her cheeks when I lowered for my first push up and gave her a peck then another and another.

But this came to a sudden halt when we hear a snap exactly when I gave her a peck on the 30th push up.

"You know just like Mythias said. Leverage." Jake says while Alex quickly scrambles up about to attack him but he sprints off leaving Alex sending a glare towards me.
