Meeting Alice

Ashton's POV

"Why didn't you go after her?" I asked Zachary when I found him in the lower basement parking, and I could tell he was also running since I could see the sweat on his forehead.

"You didn't tell me to chase after them if they leave the parking lot. You only told me to come here to the lower basement; besides, Megan drove her car like she was on a race. I didn't even know what happened at the shop, and I think we are now very late, Ashton." He said.

"I got her this time, but I lose her again," I said, feeling so defeated.

"You already lost her eighth years ago, Ashton, I was there that time, and I told you to give her a chance to speak with you, but you drove her away." He said, and I could feel the bitterness in his words.
