Ace POV
I was exhausted and wanted nothing more than to pass out. I was so happy Alley was finally home, but she had me so irritated all day. Seeing her at the airport this morning nearly gave me a heart attack. I can't believe she was wearing barely any clothes and alone for 6 weeks in Europe like that.I regretted paying her entry fee for that competition. She thought it came from a scholarship for poor kids, but the truth was no one gave a shit about them. She spent so much time studying for it I couldn't see her not even get a shot at it.Now she was back with a whole new attitude. I tried to not let it show how much her confidence pissed me off. Her attitude mixed with that body is going to get her in trouble.What was causing this change though? It was nagging at me all day. It's like she went from a little girl to a woman overnight.Oh fuck! She better not have. It can't be that. My head was swarming with all the ways I would kill whatever boy took advantage of her. No! She couldn't be that stupid. She wouldn't give it up, she's too young.Although, I was fourteen the first time I had sex.What the fuck? I swear if she gets pregnant, she will have an abortion. I don't give a fuck what she wants. She's too fucking smart to be stuck in this shit hole.I parked my car taking deep breaths. When I finally slowed my heart rate down, I opened my eyes realizing where I was. I was so fucking tired, but I guess in my rage at the idea of Ally losing her virginity I headed to the park.It was a crappy playground for underprivileged kids. Mostly dead grass with a few swings, monkey bars, and two slides. It was actually quite pathetic looking, but it was our place.I got out of the car and walked over to the sand pit. There she was swinging from side to side, bopping her head to what I'm sure was music coming from her ear buds. I should be pissed she's out here by herself, but I could never really be pissed at her."Hey, are you fucking crazy?" I yelled out to her with a smile on my face. She jumped at first, startled by someone approaching her, but grinned ear to ear once she realized it was me.As always Alley responded ever so elegantly with the middle finger. "You scared the shit out of me, Christian.""Good, maybe you'll remember that the next time you want to hang out by yourself... in a park... at midnight.""Fuck off! I was sleeping peacefully in my bed until my mom came home with her new boyfriend. She out did herself with this one. I texted Derek but haven't heard back from him yet." She said with knowing eyes what we were up to after we dropped her off.I gritted my teeth hearing that her mom brought home a guy, but I didn't press any further. I'll deal with her mom later."Yeah, he was a little preoccupied. I believe, a certain Amber chick caught his attention. He likes to take his time you know." I said moving behind her to push her on the swing."Ewe! I certainly don't know that or want to know what my brother does with his weekend whore." Alley faked a gag as she kicked her feet out to gain more momentum."Well, let's just say your brother likes to cuddle so he won't be here for a while." I gave her another push."Let me guess the devilishly handsome varsity star Mr. Ace Blackwood is more of the fuck 'em and leave 'em type. So, cliché." I couldn't see her face, but I knew she was rolling her eyes."Hey, chicks know what they are getting or not getting before I pleasure them in ways they can't even imagine." I gave her a harder push knowing she wanted to jump from the swing.We used to see who could jump the furthest and Alley still hasn't been able to beat my mark. She is highly competitive, so she will being trying even at 80 to beat me."Too much info Ace." She always said my nickname with a mocking tone. It pissed me off, but she knew she was the only one that would get away with it. "Now get ready to lose your spot as the furthest jumper" she said kicking her feet harder."I wouldn't hold your breath, Alley Cat." I replied, matching her tone.It was a nickname I originally gave her but stuck more with her brother. Cats were strong, independent, and demanded respect like queens of their domain. Not like the dogs in this town. Mix that with her name and that's where I got Alley Cat, but she took it as an insult. She thought it meant more like a street cat, all mangled, poor, and pathetic.I liked annoying her, so I never corrected her. Once she started mocking my Ace nickname, I naturally used Alley Cat to mock her back.She jumped from the swing and fuck; I think she landed right on my spot. Not moving her legs even an inch she wiggled her whole upper body screaming in excitement. "Whoa! I did it! I beat you, Mr. Ace Nothing.""Really! Mr. Ace Nothing? Your insults are getting sad little Alley cat." I said chuckling at her. I walked to her threatening to tickle her so she would lose her footing."Stop cheating!" she said through giggles. I bent down examining her feet and the marker I had for my winning spot.I loved how easy it was to be here. If the three of us could live forever in the middle of the night at this park everything would be perfect. The world can sleep while we laugh and forget who we are outside of our little place."Relax, I don't need to cheat. Although your right foot is almost exactly where I landed, your left is about an inch behind. Sorry little kitty, but you still lose.""I've been downgraded to little kitty now. You are a mean, mean boy... Mr. Ace Nothing." Alley pouted realizing her defeat and plopped down on the sand."That's the worst nickname to date. Please come up with something else." I said laughing then laid down next to her."I'm too tired to think of anything better so, for today you can deal with it." she said with fluttering eyes.I hated how beaten down she looked. She deserved a better life than the one she got. How the fuck God thought I deserved all this money and power, while she deserved nothing, growing up in a town that tried smothering out her light every chance they got, was beyond me.I stroked the bracelet on her wrist then grabbed her hand, lacing her fingers in mine "Sleep my Alley Cat. I'll wake you in an hour. Your mom should be passed out by then." She let a little moan of agreement and fell asleep.I will never understand how Alley and Derek turned out so good considering all the drugs and abuse growing up. They should be shitty people, the trash everyone referred to them as, but they were the only people in this world I would ever trust.Alley POVI applied a little red lipstick then blotted my lips taking a final turn in the mirror. I had a white crop top on that covered my shoulders and sat right above my waistline. My blue pleated skirt was a little on the short side but didn't show any of my ass. It was perfectly in line with what Derek and Christian deemed as appropriate attire. The heels on the other hand, they were going to lose their shit over.I rolled my eyes thinking about their reactions then pushed out my door. They weren't going to make me hide anymore. I'm not a slut, but I won't be a scared little mouse either. I needed to be me. I liked wearing skirts and dresses just as much as I liked jeans or even sweatpants. "Seriously!" Derek said, shaking his head at my outfit."Come on bro, I followed all your rules. No shoulders, tits, belly, or ass on display. So don't even dare tell me to change." I said crossing my arms trying to give him a don't fuck with me look. He was always the easier one to get ove
Alley POV"Are you stupid or just an idiot little girl?" Christian asked spinning me around to face him. Geez, for someone who is supposedly my best friend he was sure laying the insults on thick today."Pretty sure that means the same thing, but I like to think I'm a confident, smart... creative... a fucking awesome little girl. A little girl that so happens to be hot as hell." I said, cocking my head to the side while my eyes slowly traced his face from his eyes to his lips. Then without thinking I brought my chocolate to my mouth, letting my lips slowly brush over the bar before biting all the way down and letting a little moan out. I didn't plan to try and flirt with my best friend, but if he was going to start acting like the rest of these assholes then I would start treating him the same. Christian didn't know how to respond to my flirting and backed up some."You think this is a game?" he said softly. I almost felt bad seeing his mood change from anger to concern but he wasn'
Ace POVI was livid from Alley's attitude all day. The first day of school and she comes in wearing a skirt with a huge fucking attitude. Then she demands I apologize to her for trying to protect her. Who the fuck does she think she is?I know exactly what every scumbag in this place is thinking. I'm not even ashamed to admit I know because I'm thinking the same thing. Somehow, she turned into this flawless temptress and has a badass attitude to go along with it. It is known that every guy wants to hit the hottest girl and it was even more sexy when they were wild. The need to tame her was a natural part of being a male. At least I think it is. I don't actually know for sure, but I can see in everyone's eyes how they wanted to claim her just like I did. The difference was that I would never let anyone control her that way, not even myself. Every time she walked the halls the guys raked her body up and down, lingering their stares at her breast and ass. The girls were snickering out
Alley POVAfter our talk on Friday at school things were actually normal. We all hung out last night at the park and it felt so good to just be us again. Derek tried relentlessly to beat the furthest jumper mark. He was right behind Christian's spot, but the other night I beat his. Derek and I had serious competitive issues.I was standing in my bra and underwear switching between black sexy dress or short jean shorts. It was Saturday night, and the guys would be here soon to pick my friends and me up. "I say black dress. You'll look hot. It's sexy but simple so, not too much for the Lake." Layla commented, noticing me struggling to decide on what to wear. She had waist length black hair, dark skin, and mysterious grey eyes. If I ever discovered I'm gay she would be the chick I went after. She was a Junior but since I was in higher classes, we shared a few together. She was from a wealthy family but somehow had decent parents and wasn't like the other entitled snobs. Usually, the adu
Alley POVAfter driving down a long open road we headed down a dark path into the woods. Are they serious? This was the plot of every scary movie. I was getting a little nervous waiting for the lake to appear when Christian rested his hand on my knee. He leaned in a little closer and whispered to me like a psycho. "Relax Alley Cat, the only monster in these woods is already in the car with you.""You're a jerk." I replied looking from his farm green eyes to his light pink lips. I gave him a smile then leaned my head back to breathe in some fresh air. I loved how they both always knew when I was getting anxious and how to calm me. I honestly didn't know if I could get through life without them. When I was little, I would cry a lot and when I got a little older, I would start to have panic attacks. We were poor as shit and my mother was usually the cause of my tears and anxiety, so I never got any professional help. I didn't need it though, I had Derek and Christian to comfort me, prote
Ace POV"Ok, let's play," Alley said looking around at everyone, but they were all frozen. No one has ever seen someone talk back to me, let alone me take an order from them. I didn't give a fuck though. I either backed off or lost my temper. She wanted to play, then I'll let her play. I'll make sure everyone here knows she is not to be touched.Amber cleared her throat. "Ok, it was your suggestion so, Alley you start the game." Of course, it was Alley's idea to play this game."Amber truth or dare!" "Truth" she said, because I think the murderous look Alley had was scaring her."How many times in the past month have you fucked my brother?" Alley asked with a shit eating grin. Derek and I knew exactly what she was trying to imply to Layla with the answer to this question. A part of me wanted to smirk at her cleverness. Derek on the other hand was squirming in his seat knowing once Amber opened her mouth his chances with Layla were over. I honestly didn't think he really had a chance
Alley POVThe second we got out of Christian's car Derek walked right in and went to straight to bed. Neither of them spoke a word since we left the lake.I plopped down on my bed and curled into a ball. Layla sat next to me laying her hand on my back. "That was fucking intense Alley. I have no words.""Me either. I'm so fucking pissed at him, but it also hurts to hate him. Why can't he just be normal?" I sobbed.Being in Europe I met so many people. So many guys that seemed normal. Yeah, I'm sure they are still horny teenage asshole, but it was different than the guys here. They were sweet and friendly to me, but didn't try to only fuck me. We just hung out and laughed. I wanted to go back to being a little girl that only had the middle of the nights to look forward to and that made me hate Christian to want something so little for myself. He had no right to treat me that way, no right to treat my brother that way. What the fuck was his problem anyways?The next two weeks in school e
Ace POVI hated the way everything felt right now. For ten years there were only two people that meant anything to me and I did nothing but push them away this past month. I was a piece of shit that didn't deserve either of them. Maybe my dad was right? I'm too different to have any true friends, especially ones that grew up in such a vastly different world than me. He always said others would use me for my power. Little did he know that it was me that fucked them over. Every time I thought about apologizing, I reminded myself how I dragged her across the beach, how I made her cry, and loved the power I had over her. Every time Derek looked at me wondering if we were still friends. I remembered how I wanted to beat him for talking against me. Him telling me to leave his sister alone should have made me snap back to reality but it only pissed me off more. Made me want to hurt him.I needed to accept that this is who I was. I'm fucking rich and powerful and wouldn't allow anyone to be
