Annabeth's POV
I was there is his arms and everything around us seems to fade away, his grey eyes meeting mine like the very first time, his soft dark blond hairs.
This is the man I once loved... My best friend... My family...
Jack.
His eyes as shocked as mine. But then mind is flooded with the memories of the past, the love, the heartbreak and the sadness.
I quickly get out of his grip trying to rid of all the emotions that I left behind me.
"But y-you were d-dead" he stutters and his eyes looking me like he has seen a ghost.
His wide eyes never leaving mine like he has seen a ghost, he walks towards me, cups my face with his hands and I could see hint of tears in them.
"This is not a dream" he whispers while slowly raising his lips towards mins, but I step back making his hands fall.
My head is clouded with so many emotions at once, I don't even know how to react now. At the corner of my eye I sense the guard standing behind me and I realize that if Tristian gets to know about Jack then he would probably kill him. I have to get away from Jack.
I quickly look towards jack and say "I have to go, it was nice to see you", as I am about to leave, he grabs me hand and pulls me towards him. Our faces just inches away from each other, I try get away from him but his grip only tightens.
I look around to see if anyone is watching us but there is no one except us and the guards who are just busy checking the surrounding. Why aren't they trying to push Jack away from me?
Then it clicked me, Tristian has ordered them to just observe me and then report back to him. That sick fuck just wants a reason to hurt me even more.
Jack looks at me and softly says "Dance with me".
Before I could protest he gently drags me to the dance floor. His one arm is wrapped around me waist while the other one is in my hand as we start dancing.
This moment reminds me so much of our prom where we danced together for the entire night. That memory brings back bittersweet memories. Jack was my family and best friend first before being my lover. Him breaking my heart has taken a huge toll on me because I lost my lover, best friend and family in one single night.
"What the hell is going on Beth? How are you alive? I thought you died in that accident" he asks me softly and his voice breaking at the end.
"It's none of your business and don't tell anyone that I am alive, not even Jane" I say to him as I am on the verge of crying.
Being here in his arms is so painful.
"It is my fucking business...Do you even know what I went through when I got the news? I was devastated" he stops and looks me directly in the eyes.
"Well, now you know what I felt", his eyes are now filled with guilt when he realizes what I am talking.
"I am sorry Beth, at least let me-" I cut him in between.
"Please just stop, I really don't care now." I break our eye contact and see Tristian's guard staring at us from across the crowd.
I stiffen in his grip, wriggling to get out of his grip. I cannot let Jack get involved in this hit, as much as I hate him, he is one of the few people that II cannot bear to loose.
"What happened to you Beth, you don't have any light in your eyes? Just tell me what the fuck is going on?!" he asks with concern.
The music stops and I step away from him.
"You are one of the people responsible for that" I speak looking directly in his eyes.
I see his grey eyes turning black and he grabs me by my elbows drags me somewhere. I try to keep up with him making it seem like he is not forcing me. He walks into a room locking the door behind him.
"What the hell Jack?" I shout.
I cannot deal with him right now, I move towards the door but he grabs my waist and in a heartbeat his lips are crashing mine. For some seconds I just stood there shocked, he pins me against the wall, his hands moving all over my body; my waist, my back, biting my neck, pinching my nipples... I cannot breathe.
I stand there frozen in my spot not believing what is happening. His hand grabs the exposed thigh and his hand moving upwards, very close to my underwear. That is when I come to my senses, I push him away and slap him, anger has taken over me.
"HOW DARE YOU?!" I shout, he even has the audacity to even touch me after what happened.
"I am sorry Beth, I miss you please some back to me", he kneels down before me taking my hand and continues "It was just a one-time mistake Beth, I cannot live without you... when I saw you today it's like god has given me one more chance, hearing the news of your death nearly killed me... please" his voice breaks.
I don't know what to say to him, there was a time when he was everything to me but he broke me and now I am with a monster and it's too late, I don't have any feelings for Jack now.
"I forgive you" I tell him and he looks at me with eyes full of hope.
His hope soon fades away when he looks deeply into my eyes and a sad smile forms on my face. He can always read me by my eyes, without me even uttering a single word.
"But, you are not going to be a part of my life anymore" he whispers.
"I can never be with you now" I speak truthfully.
"Why?" he asks helplessly.
"Because I am in love with someone else" I answered instantly not even realizing what I said myself.
He lets go of my hand and I turn to open the door. My hands reach the doorknob and I look back at him still on his knees staring at me.
"Please forget about me and don't tell anyone about me, it's for your own good" I tell him before walking out.
I turn and start running away from him, I just run inside the building not knowing where I was going.
I love Tristian?
Why would I lie to him but did I lie to him?
Tears start rolling out my eyes, how can I love him, he is a monster. My vision becomes blur as my eyes are filled with tears. I love the man I thought Tristian was not the monster that he is now.
I storm into one the rooms, falling on my knees and breaking down. It was after some minutes, I realized that I am not alone, I look at the corner of the room.
I see Tristian standing in the corner, my teary eyes glued to his blue ones. I don't know why but just looking into his eyes, my breathing calms. I just want to be wrapped around in his arms. He looked at me with a smirk, he was happy seeing me in this state.
"Look who is here?" he chuckles.
Then I see the half-naked blonde women laying on the bed, he slowly walks towards her and she kneels before him.
It felt like my heart breaking into billion pieces.
"Would you like to join us or would you just like to watch" he asks me and I just kept looking into his eyes to find just a hint of emotions.
He slowly removes his shirt and throws the women on the bed. I cannot watch this.
I manage to get and say "I am sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you. Enjoy yourself".
He was shocked by my reaction, he expected something else. I get out of the room closing it behind me, wiping my tears. I don't think I have any more emotion left in me; I have been completely broken by everyone.
I have realised one thing today that I did love Jack but it was like how you love your friend filled with adoration, but love nonetheless.
My love for Tristian was much more intense... it was the kind of love that drowns you...that seeps into each and every bone of your body...filled with passion.
But today I also realised one more thing that both of these love were fake.
Once again I was defeated in the game of love.
