Chapter 26

• DRAKE’S POV
• That night, Betty and I had taken a walk. I wanted to apologize to her and just get things over with already or well, that’s what I thought. As soon as I saw her, I wanted her. I wanted her all for myself. I was immediately filled with rage. Rage that she chose Ace over me even after our years of friendship. I was equally angry at Ace, for suddenly showing up and sweeping her off her feet. I just wanted to talk but it went the other way round.
• The night ended with Ace beating me severely, leaving me half dead. I always knew I was no match for him. He was stronger and bigger. I shouldn’t have raised my hand on Betty. I didn’t even hit her but the intentions alone led to the fight. I was angry, sad and broken. I watched her and Ace leave that night and that was the last time I saw her.
