The Masked Fighter

Chapter 22

Alexis' POV

"Lil I told you I was sorry!" I screamed, keeping an eye out for an enraged Lil. After I told her about the whole kidnapping thing, she began chasing me around the house with a crazed look in her eye. She didn't take the news too well.

Dylan on the other hand is another case scenario. Unexpectedly, he began to chase me down along with Lil, something I did not see coming. Apparently they teamed up together and decided it's chase Alexis day.

I knew Dylan was just chasing me for the fun of it because the first time he found me, he just winked at me and walked in the other direction. Lil however, has yet to find me, even once, and I dread the moment she does.

I have yet to tell her about the whole, 'guy from the past' situation, which I'm sure she won't take too well also. Just as I hide behind my island in the kitchen I hear footsteps coming down the stairs. Peaking my head around the island, I come face to feet with Lil.

I quickly stand up as fast as I can and come face to face with her. I begin to fake gag and hold my hands to my nose for effect to distract her, knowing she hates smelling bad, and just as I expect she frowns and smells around the air looking like a dog sniffing out a cat.

I take that as my opportunity and sprint away from her and towards my garage door. I don't have to look back to know Lil is hot on my trail. I hastily make my way down the steps to the garage and pull out the keys I had left by the garage door earlier in the day and managed to snag on my way out.

I quickly unlock the car, which just so happens to be my Bugatti, and open the passenger seat door and slam the door shut. I lock the doors just as Lil reaches the bottom of the stairs.

"Alexis Donovan you better unlock this car door right now!" Lil says, pounding on the windows with all her might. "Lil I can't do that." I say, watching as she scowls at my calm words. "And why the hell not!" she yells.

Just then, a panting Dylan comes running down the stairs. I look at him and make eye contact with him before letting out a breath of frustration and closing my eyes. "Because I haven't even told you the entire story yet." I say, opening my eyes and looking her straight in the eye.

She slowly nods her head at me and scowls before pulling up a spare lawn chair that's leaning against the garage wall, Dylan doing the same. I wring my hands together nervously and look down.

"You can tell us.", Lil says a comforting smile gracing her lips. I return her small smile and begin my story.

"Well, last night I went to Wreck." I start off, going with the exact version of the story. "I ended up racing this one guy twice in a row, he was actually pretty good. He gave me a run for my money." I say, laughing dryly as tears begin to build up.

"At the end of the second race he pulled up next to me and got out of his car for the first time." I continue, I lone tear daring to make its way down my cheek. "So, he was just a good racer, why is that such a big deal?" Lil asks, confusion clear on her features.

"I recognized him Lil." I whisper, looking up at her with tears now falling down my face. "I recognized him as the man that killed both my parents." I say, sobs now coming out of my body. "Alexis open the door.", Lil says, tears brimming her own eyes as well as Dylan.

I unlock the door and Lil doesn't even hesitate before engulfing me in an awkward side hug thing as I cry into her shoulder. "Come on, lets go inside." she whispers. I just numbly nod my head and get out of the car.

Once we're out of the car Dylan pulls all three of us into a giant bear hug. It feels good to be with my friends again after everything that's happened this week. Once we pull out of the hug Dylan looks down at his shirt. "Maybe I should wear a raincoat whenever I come home from a trip, I don't think snot will come out of this shirt." he says, making both Lil and I laugh.
