Ace x Mike

"What was all that about?" Mike requested confused.

"All what?" Ace asked looking like he was about to sleep.

"Don't play dumb with me." Mike warned.

"Keeping tabs on us now? Thought you had a girl already." Ace sneered.

"Stop trying to change the topic. I'm talking about our bestfriend." Mike said as the clenched his jaws.

"Oh wow! Educate me." Ace sarcastically said. 

"What is all this about?" Mike asked with a frustrated sigh.

"All what?"

"You know, if you guys get serious and you split, I'd be forced to pick a side." Mike said and jumped on Violet's bed.

"It's all about you as usual." Ace said, running his fingers through his hair.

"What do you mean by that?" Mike asked and sat up, now interested.

"Queen." He breath out.

"The Doctors said she has a year left to live."

"Oh Ace. Shit man. Since when have you known?"

"When I went ballistic on Violet." Ace said burying his head in his hands.

"What the hell man? You knew all the while and you were with Vio? What is wrong with you man?" Mike asked pissed.

"She said I shouldn't come. I was frustrated. I didn't know what to do! Even if; I'd still had stayed with Vio. Afterall, I caused it." He said not lifting his head.  

"But why?"

"She said she wants me to have some happiness." Ace said sadly. Just then the door busted open revealing a tear-stained Violet.

"Ace, I'm sorry. You could have talked to me." Violet said gasping for breath as she sobbed.

"No use." He said coldly shocking everyone.

"Ace I-"

"Enough excuses." He said.

"Ace, you have to calm down. This is the same scene that played out leading us here. Again." Mike said slowly walking up to Ace who kept tapping his feet irritated.

"I'm sorry. You don't know who this feels for me. After a year, I'm never going to see my sister ever again." He said shaky.

"Violet, excuse us." Mike said making Violet leave but not without giving Ace a friendly hug which he shrugged off coldly making Violet look stupid.

Violet.

The news of Ace's sister hit me so bad I had to talk to Clara. She is now more like a sister to me. She told me about Queen; Ace's sister. How lively she was, friendly, open-minded and cool.

After waiting for a while, when I say I while, I mean an hour plus. Mike and Ace finally came downstairs sharing a knowing look.

After a series of apologises, here we are watching tv while Mike types noisily on his phone.

"Okay, can you reduce that?" Ace asked as he paused our movie.

"Yeah, yeah." Mike said with a frown plastered on his face.

"So let's get back to the mov-"

"Violet come over this instant." Mike instructed sternly.

"Yes dad." I said sarcastically as I tried to drag myself to him.

"Fast." He snapped as he glared at me angrily.

If Mike were a cartoon character I'm so sure he had smoke coming from his nose and ears.

"Remember this guy?" He asked and shoved his phone into my hand violently making Ace' head to snap towards us in curiosity.

I looked at the phone and saw a guy with curly hair, brown eyes and a cute smile but I could not recognise him one bit.

"I don't know him. Any problem?" I asked Mike who looked so mad.

"What are you talking about?" Ace asked and collected the phone.

"Why are you lying?" Mike thundered.

"Bro chill she said she doesn't know the person. Was he supposed to ring a bell?" Ace asked concerned.

"He was supposed to ring all goddamed bells!"

"I don't understand you-"

"Can you just stop. For how long were you willing to hide this? How long? You just think changing cities will change the past? Why? Why did you fucking lie?" Mike screamed.

"Okay. Fill me in on this." Ace said.

Mike threw his phone as he glared at me as I tried to hold back my tears..

After eight minutes of silence, Ace finally looked up looking tired, confused, betrayed, angry and lost.

"Violet." He said and bowed his head in between his legs.

"Don't lie. Your ex boyfriend and his bestfriend. Your little clique of friends. What are their names?" He asked and picked his phone.

"Creed North, Gunner Lawrence, Paige-"

I couldn't hear Ace anymore as darkness be clouded my vision and all of a sudden I saw humans like shadows pulling me deeper and deeper into the thickness of the dark.

"No, no, no... please don't, please, it hurts no." I screamed as I saw the memories as black dots.

"I know, please don't remind me. I deserve the pain but please. Please. She was my friend. And-andrew, I-please I will- no pl-eas-e." I croaked out.

I tried so hard to remember but all I saw was different silhouettes, moving closer and closer.

"I'm a terrible person. I deserve it." I kept chanting.

Tormenting me, tearing my heart apart, breaking me. Over and over again.

It hurts, it hurts so bad. I can feel it in my bones. The pain, hurt, the betrayal, the sorrow. Its so evident.

"Hey, listen to me baby, breathe in slowly." My dad said and I did that.

"Out." He ordered.

"Repeat baby, you'll be fine. Don't force the memories. Baby, breathe. You're not breathing. Ace hold her, she's not breathing." Dad panicked as I tried to breathe but there was no air.

I felt a light squeeze on my hand and I opened my eyes to the grey ones that stared deep into my soul with panic and sadness.

"Breathe Vio." He commanded and almost instantly I felt so alive.

But then, I started hyperventilating when I saw Mike. He looked confused but my mind kept on replaying images of him screaming at me furiously.

"What do I do? She's hyperventilating." I heard Ace say but my mind couldn't stay in a place as my thoughts kept roaming about.

"Make her hold her breath." Dad said.

"How do I do that?" Ace asked at the verge of tears.

"How can I help?" Mike asked.

"Mike, its advisable you stay back." Dad said.

I kept on chanting,"I don't know him. Please don't be mad." As I closed my eyes making Mike feel very bad.

Then I felt someone's soft lips on mine. Shocked was and understatement as to how I was feeling so I didn't kiss back. I opened my eyes as my heart fluttered.

It was Ace.

He sucked my lower lip making me to moan as I gave into the kiss. His hand held my waist firmly as I felt so weak and exhausted.

He broke the kiss and stared deep into my eyes as he brushed a stray strand of hair off my face with his thumb.

I looked at my hands embarrassed whilst he raised my head with his hand and cupped my jaw before leaning in for another breath taking kiss.

I moaned his name and latched my hand on his neck moving him closer to me until we heard a faint voice.

"Should I let them keep eating each others faces or I let them know I'm still here?" It was my dad and I cared less.

"I'd give anything to be in his arms again." I thought as he pulled away slowly not breaking his intensive warm gaze on me.

Woah! My bestfriend?

He stared deep into my soul as came towards me, slowly brushing his thumb over my lips caused me to burst into some unknown feeling.

"Okay. It's enough." My dad said making me burn in embarrassment.

Ace let go of me and whispered,"Not a mistake this time. Hope to get more where that came from."

Mannnn.... I didn't feel butterflies in my stomach this time, what I felt was so unrealistic.

I felt like I was on a unicorn in the clouds.

I felt on top of the moon.

Just the perfect timing; my eyes met Mike's.

He looked hurt, broken and still angry which scared me,"At least no hickeys this time." He said with a smirk trying to cover up whatever emotion he earlier displayed.

"What do you mean by this time?" Dad asked.

I turned my head to the direction of the voice and it was my phone on facetime with dad.

"Dad."

"Lettuce." Dad said teasing me with a smirk.

"Dad, Lettuce has nothing to do with my name-"

"That's why I call you Lettuce. When everyone calls you Vio. I'm special to you." My dad and I said at the same time making Ace smile at me with admiration.

"You have to give me all the details. You just snogged Ace." Dad said with a devious smirk.

"Dad, snogged? Really. It's called kiss or make out- the one that I just enjoyed."

Did I say that out loud?

"Yes you did Lettuce. See ya." My dad siad and hung up leaving me with one smirking boy and another frowning boy.

"So what made you go all ballistic?" Mike asked immediately.

"Can you just drop it?" Ace asked.

"This is just the beginning Violet. We're coming back here tomorrow. If you like, hyperventilate all you want." Mike said with a deep frown.

"Ace will be there to make out with you until you're back to your senses or he can knock you up since you're that cheap." Mike added shocking Ace and I.

"Leave this instant." Ace thundered.

"I was about to. But you my friend," Mike said giving Ace a not too playful punch.

"You can stay and create some babies." He said and walked out.

"What's up with him?" I asked utterly confused.

"Do you really wanna know? That'll only lead to another make out session. You down?" Ace asked teasing but I could sense a hint of seriousness in his tone.

"Let's watch movies and cook. Then a sleepover." I said turning the other way as I used my hair to cover the blush rising on my cheeks.

"You look cute when you blush, stop hiding it."

And finally the butterflies in my stomach erupted.
