Chris's POV
Ever since Alex left me in the courtyard I haven't been the same. Chris Schistad the penetrator didn't exist only Chris Schistad the heartbroken dope that got cheated on.

I knew she wasn't going to school since William always came over to check up on me. The first day when he came I was so drunk he told me I kissed him and tried to "get back at Alex." After that I threw up. The second day I was so hungover I didn't move off the bed only listening to sad music and going through girls on tinder only to realize no one was as beautiful or funny or great as Alex was.

Even after she cheated on me I couldn't see her in a bad light. This was the lame figure I'd become heartbroken  still whipped Chris Schistad.

This was the person I'd become.

The third day I spent making food for myself since I had been hungry for about 18 hours. William insisted I eat so he watched me make food then made me eat. He also tried distracting me by talking about random stuff, he made sure not to mention Noora in order to avoid reminding me of Alex little did he know I hadn't stopped thinking about Alex ever since I met her and I certainly hadn't stopped now.

The fourth day William woke me up as I had stayed up all night watching trash television shows. He rushed over after school and seemed out of breath when he came to my room.

"She came to school today and her friends protected her so I didn't say anything." William bit out and I glared at him. I still felt the need to stick up for her.

"Good blocking her out might be worse for her and her bus than anything else. That is why she got with me, for the sake of her bus." I snarled out and got out of bed to pull on a shirt. Just as William was about say something in response my phone buzzed and both of us looked at the name on the screen, leaving him quiet and me confused.

William and I listened to a recording of Alex confronting my supposed friend, Jonathan. It turned out my ex-girlfriend and Alex's old friend, Sofina, was doing this because of me and Jonathan was doing this because of Sofina. William held the phone and sat down on my bed while I yelled and started throwing things. Once it was over I turned to William.

"I'm going to fucking kill him then I'm gonna find Sofina and kill her." William took this in the stride only blinking and standing. I was so full of anger and sadness I didn't think I could breath properly.

"No you won't you're gonna go to Alex now and apologize for the rest of your life if you have to." William said nodding towards the door and I grabbed a jacket and headed out. Beating up Jonathan could wait I had to find Alex. I was such an idiot for believing him over her I should have known better but I didn't and that was inexcusable.

William and I arrived at her place to see Eskild's and Eva's cars parked outside. He told me Noora was there so he would come over as well. With the amount of people there it would make the apology a lot harder. I knocked on the door only to be greeted by Noora herself, she glared at me but smiled warmly at William.

"Where is she?" I choked out and Noora pointed towards the living room. I saw Alex sitting in the middle of Eva and Chris with Sana, Eskild, and Vilde sitting on the ground or around her. Alex looked beautiful as always and I didn't say anything as everyone started to leave. William gave me a nod before leaving and I gave him a nod to let him know I'd be fine.

"Hey." I said and Alex finally met my gaze. Her cheeks burned with shame, or maybe anger. She didn't say anything and her eyes only narrowed at me.

"I'm sorry Alex, I'm sorry for not believing you. It was stupid of me to not trust you. I do trust you it's just I guess I'm insecure that someone as amazing as you would see me worthy to be with someone like you. I suppose I found it easier to believe in a lie." I vented to her, still standing.

"Chris I don't know what to think right now. I trusted you completely but you broke my heart. You believed some guy you're not close with over your own girlfriend." Alex's voice cracked and I winced. She was clearly upset and she had every right to be.

"Please forgive me. I've never cared about anyone like I do for you." This was the truth and of course I wanted to say more but in fear of what she would think I didn't.

"Where did all those feelings vanish when I needed you to believe me?" Alex stood up and bit out when walking up to me.

"I don't know I've never had to do this, be in an actual relationship. Alex, please just forgive me." I was on my knees now, begging her. A couple more seconds and I would be crying.

"Okay." Alex whispered and I stood up in shock.

"Really?" I combed back my hair and her anger faded away replaced by a frown and sadness in her eyes. She stepped closer to me and nodded.

"Hug me you idiot." Alex whispered and I chuckled and looped my arms around her waist. She stood on toes then and held me tight exhaling into my shoulder as she embraced me.

After we stayed like that for a while, Alex pulled back. She still looked tired and I knew I looked like shit so she took my hand in hers.

"We should sleep." I nodded and allowed her to lead us to her bed. Alex lay on one side of the bed and I got in on the other side.

Once I was under the covers I gathered her up in arms and her back faced my front as she curled into me. I stroked her hair and as I felt her falling asleep I whispered into her hair.

"I love you Alexandra Bakken, more than you could ever imagine."
