Alyssa's POV:

I finished texting in the group,they ordered me to message when I get to Miami, so I did...

Alfea was roaming around my house,I was in my room,felt chills in my body,all those memories started to erupt in my mind,good ones,bad ones.

how did I end up like this?,why didn't I just fought for myself, I was a coward now I am not,I am done running...

something cheesy was cooking downstairs,I went to see,it was Alfea making some lasagne,"hungry babe", "yup",

we were munching our food,"who's first?", "Maddy", she looked up,her expressions confused, "she is papa bear's I mean Mason's fiance,my friend more like a big sister",

"Cool Mason's chick",she was thinking,I chuckled,

"Is Mason the easiest to crack?", " he is papa bear, I hope so", she smiled...

"Are you tired?", "nope why?", "I have to fix myself up,become who I was again", she was confused...

"Salon babe,I have to remove this dye,get my golden locks back", "Oh! let's go then", she mused ...

we cleaned up, I was brushing my hair when I heard Alfea's voice,"what's this key for?",

"what key?", "never mind", I after some minutes went down,.

Alfea was standing in a a shirt and jeans with leather jacket on top,

"Damn", I muttered, she smirked,

we walked out,I gasped,"your car Miss", she bowed,

"My Beatle,it was here in Miami,I thought daddy sold it", I hugged it,she laughed and click a picture...

she was enjoying riding shotgun I was driving, Salon came, my makeover started, it took us hours to get pampered,how much I missed being me,being Alyssa,how much I tried to mold myself into shapes people desired me to be in,I lost myself,my identity in the process,such a fool.

turns out that Alfea is loaded as a bank ... she is filthy rich,I was too before getting disowned,

But I have a saving in my account,the amount I earned as a waitress in the small town is saved for urgent use... I had no future, I had to think of a back up plan sooner or later..

In no time we were infront of Maddy's house, I gulped visibly...

"go on ring",Alfea pushed.. I ringed ..

"If something bad happens catch me",she nodded firmly...

The door opened,it was Maddy,she froze,her eyes held the entire forest in them,her beauty was magnified, her hair now reaching her lower back,what a beauty she resembled to...

"Woah", Alfea spoke, I was crushed into a hug,her hands roped around me like a lasso, "Alyssa Alyssa you are actually here,I missed you so much!,where were you, I though I will never see you again", she was so happy,

her teary eyes gazed at me,"Maddy I missed you too,I had to come sooner or later it was hell living without you", she kissed my cheek in delight..

"this is Alfea", she hugged her too,"so nice to meet you,come in both of you,I even forgot to invite you in,I was just in a daze,sorry",she was blabbering like she was on sugar rush,....

we were settled,"where is your mum?", I asked,everything was same,bright and colorful like when I left it years ago,

Maddy had changed,but still she was my same old flamy maddy,"Mum's exhibition is in Paris,her tour has started, she will have her exhibition in Rome next week,so I am mostly alone now",she answers ...

Alfea was eating biscuits,"How is Mason?", I asked in a low voice,"he is fine Alyssa,he will come later in the evening,he will be really happy to see you",

I gulped,she placed her hand over mine,"hey don't worry this time you got me,those idiots can't do one job right,let me handle it from now on",

I nodded,we joked and laughed after it,Alfea was already bonding with Maddy,we were cooking some meal,

"oh you two both are staying with me tonight", she ordered us,Alfea was so in,"Maddy what about Papa bear?",I joked...

"don't worry he will stay in his bachelor pad", she mimicked Mason, we were laughing hard,

Alfea was sleeping on the couch,Maddy was in her backyard talking to her neighbor Catherine,I could hear her having fun,

I was baking,my hands were floury,Maddy wanted me to prepare her a dark forest cake so I was doing what I was told,

I started singing, too good at goodbyes by Sam Smith,

"I'm never gonna let you close to me
Even though you mean the most to me
'Cause every time I open up, it hurts
So I'm never gonna get too close to you
Even when I mean the most to you
In case you go and leave me in the dirt",

I was humming, Placed the cake in the oven,next frosting,

"Alyssa?", I turned at the voice,it was Mason,his big eyes intensified with confusion,"Hi", I whispered,he rushed to me,crushed me into a Papa bear special,

Knocked the life out of me,he was swinging me in mid air,I know I am small but you don't have to show me that every now and then,.

"Mason can't breathe", I muttered in his grip,his hands moved my hair away from my face,clearing his view,his eyes lightening up,his mouth curled up in a gorgeous smile..

"you are here,you are actually here,I can't believe it,I thought I lost you forever", he confessed with his heavy voice,how much I felt guilty for treating my friends like this,they meant no harm yet I pushed them away hard,

His eyes widened,"what?", "we have to go, fast", he grabbed my arm,pulling me outside,Maddy came in,"Mason where are you taking Alyssa?", she said in anger,...

"Relax,we need to move,Carlos is leaving now", he was dialing his number,

I felt a stinging pain in my heart,a huge lump formed in my throat,"where is he going?",I said in my worried voice,

Alfea was awake now from all the disturbance,alerted like an eagle,her gaze boring holes in Mason,

"This is Alfea",Maddy mentioned,Mason half hugged her,"Hi, nice meeting you,gotta run, got a Crawford to Catch",he worried joke,I rolled my eyes,

"I am coming too", Maddy followed,so did Alfea,I was rushed into his truck,on the side seat,he got in,Alfea and Maddy climbed the back,

we were off,Mason triggered the engine with a sharp key twist,we rushed to the airport,he was anxious, "Mason where is he going?", I asked him again,my heart was having a rock concert,.

"After you ended the story for good,we came back,Carlos was not Carlos anymore,he cut himself short from all his contacts,even us,he felt devastated,so one day he comes to us with a decision that he is leaving for Washington as he wanted a change of view,his father offered him a place,as he always wanted that for Carlos,to go and handle business in Washington,he agreed without a protest,he is leaving in half an hour,we have to stop him",he muttered it so fast as if his mouth also had an engine installed in it ....

"we can't let him leave", I said in agitation,my hands were flinching,"yes with a broken heart,he can leave after it's fixed",

"MASON!", we yelled,even Alfea,             "Sorry, was trying to lighten up the situation", he said while making a sharp turn,

"MASON LOOK OUT GRANDMA!", Alfea screamed,Mason dodged her so closely,mere inches away,

If the old woman had seen it coming,she would be dead by now,by a heart attack,We all glared," SORRY! I AM NERVOUS OKAY",He yelled in frustration,hitting the steering wheel,

"let me drive", Alfea commanded,"No can do rock star,you don't know the way", "why isn't he picking up his phone",Maddy retorted,

"don't you know at situations like these signals fail on purpose", he again joked,... earn a slap on his back by Maddy...

"Ow! I am driving woman", he muttered... all I could think of was him,his departure from my life,I can't let this happen,I can't lose him,I love him.

Please God for once,don't take him away from me,he is all I have right now,I need him to survive... I need him desperately,I beg of you,please don't let him go...

"THERE! AIRPORT!",Mason shifted gear,the car picked up more speed,with swift turns,Mason's car over took other cars,he was a master at driving except for the old lady part,

"Hey there is the plane!",Alfea was standing on the back,holding the truck's head,"don't you know Crawford men fly in style,his private jet will take him there", Mason said in confidence,proud on his face,

Crawford men are out worldly that's for sure,fall for them live in heaven,mess with them face the wrath of Crawford...I did and never in my life I want to face that again,they run hell,they are Karma...

I could see his private Jet from afar,we were close so close,we entered the area,I saw him standing in a Dark Gray suit,like I met him before,I met him once again,his back was towards us,a smile crept on my face,I caught him, finally I caught him,he is mine...

He was climbing the jet stairs,I couldn't wait so I screamed with all my might, "CARLOS!", he froze,he literally froze,he slowly  turned,the truck's speed lowered and I jumped from a half moving car...

his eyes blinking two three times,his magnetizing, death defying glare staring at me, for once I approved of his glare,I wanted it to be on me,I wanted it to stay at me forever...

I ran as fast as I could,he climbed off the stairs in agitation still in a daze,he couldn't believe it,"Don't go,I need you", I muttered with a deep voice,my breath hitching,we were at a distance from each other,...

He was staring at me,"I love you Carlos,don't leave,I am sorry",I said in a breaking voice,please say something,anything, no hate please no hate...

His stare was hard,he was angry at me then he slowly smiled,his grin forming a dimple on his left cheek,his arms opened for my access,I almost lost it,rushed to him with a speed of lightening,landing safe in his arms,

His arms surrounded me,shielding me from all the troubles of life,It was heaven,the world vanished,only the sound of his heart beating,what a melody it was! to hear his heart's beating,"It took you long enough Alyssa,you made me go through so much", I looked at him,

His eyes were a door to his heart,how much he felt for me,his intensified pupil shadings depicted his feelings for me,his want,his desire,I wanted the same,"I am sorry I am so sorry",I kissed his cheek,

he smiled,"this is how you treat your bad boy huh,you literally shook my foundation to the core",he confessed while grazing his hand on my lower lip,his gaze fixed sharp on the target,

I pulled his neck near,our lips collided like two folds,even our lips were meant to be together,

he tilted my head as he pleased,I let him,these Crawford men get hasty when you don't let them take control,"how much you kept yourself safe from me,now I am gonna take whatever I want from you,whenever I want from you",he confessed his evil desires in between his lip torture,

"I am yours Carlos,do as you please",I moaned in his lips,his gaze caught mine,I uncaged his monster!,a devilish darkness invaded his eyes,sending shivers down my spine..

"Let's go"I was confused," Um where Carlos!", he was pulling me to the jet,

"Woah woah woah wolf boy!,She doesn't have a passport", Mason retorted from his truck,I was so red,I almost forgot they were with us,

Maddy and Alfea were smirking my way,showing me a phone,I pouted their way,I know they will tease me later for it... damn it!,

I felt a hand tightened around my waist,my caveman glaring at Mason,who raised his hands in defense,

"Sorry Alyssa you are on your own right now,I am taking Maddy and Alfea home,we will meet later okay",I was a little scared,what was on Carlos's mind,he smirked,then plastered a small yet strong kiss on my lips,

We were climbing the stairs,"Carlos! where are we going?", I asked again,

"I am gonna make you mine and no one can stop me",

***** ******** ******"
