Chapter Nineteen

Crew throws his head back and belts out a loud laugh. "That's the biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard," he says once he's managed to calm himself down. I want to give in and tell him he's right, but I can't back down. I've managed to avoid being around her too much since that night. The night I came so close to caving in and kissing the shit out of her. The night I came too close to being weak.

"Tell me what's really going on," he demands. Before I can respond, the door is pushed open, and before I can do anything to stop it, there's a fist flying at my face. Pain blooms in my jaw, and my head snaps to the side.

"You just can't help yourself, can you?" Felix pushes his face into mine, his fists bunching the material of my shirt.

"What the fuck is going on?" Crew comes to pull Felix back when it looks like he's about to try to land a second punch.

"I warned him." Black eyes bore into mine as he struggles to control his temper. "I warned him, if he fucked her over again, I'd fuck him up."

"Fucked who over?"

"Where is she?" I ask, already knowing who he’s talking about.

"Where do you think? Gavin's taking her to your place so she can pack her shit. She's had enough of your bullshit." We're toe to toe now, neither of us ready to back down.

"Get out of my way," I warn him, ready to make him move if he doesn’t.

"Not a fucking chance."

"Move, or I'll go through you," I warn again.

"Why? So you can make her cry? Again?" he scoffs. "Think again."

"Why was Darcey crying?" Crew asks, not moving to pull us apart.

"I wasn't there, but my guess would be that she heard more of the crap Max was spouting."

The need to get to her, to apologize to her is overwhelming. "You need to get out of my way, Felix. Now.” Yanking his hands from my shirt, I push him away from me, done with this discussion.

"I'm done letting you hurt her." Felix makes the mistake of grabbing a hold of my arm as I push past him. Before I can think of how much love I have for him, one of my very best friends, I have him pinned to the wall, my forearm across his throat.

"I won’t say it again. Get your hands off me. Now get the fuck out of my way." He isn't going to back down; I know that look in his eyes. I know he feels the same unhealthy level of need for her that I am, but he's mistaken if he thinks I'm backing down.

Not now. Not ever.

Knowing I've hurt her, yet again, is the final nail in my coffin. I'm done fighting. My need for her finally wins. I'm going after what I want. Fuck the consequences.

"She's too fucking good for you," he spits, face turning red thanks to the pressure I'm applying. His words snap me out of the red haze just enough for me to realize what I'm doing.
