A Demon's Harmony - E.C. Land Page 0,5

meet for lunch, Alexis doesn’t normally come back until like two hours after, never thirty minutes. Thinking back to when I snapped at her, she’d already looked upset. Was it because of the conversation she’d heard or something else?

Damnit, to fuckin’ hell. This is what happens to my head every time I have the pleasure of talking with my mom.

Go home and talk to Alexis. Make her see reason. You and she are the perfect harmony.

“Yeah right, if that were the case, we’d actually be together,” I mutter out loud.

Win her back. What do you have to lose?

Lose? Let’s see the rest of my heart. My soul.

Then again, if I could I’d have the one person in my life who’s ever been able to keep the demons at bay.

Go for it or finally let her go.

Besides the band I don’t have anything else but her. To let her go will kill me. If I fight for her it might be worth everything in the end. Only is she going to fight for me as well?

Coming up on an exit, I make my decision and take it in order to turn around. Alexis is worth it and I’ll make sure she sees the two of us are worth fighting for.

Now it’s time to come up with some plans to make this work.

It’s time my wife started being just that. I’m going to move all her shit to the house the guys and I all share.

It’s not like we don’t have the room. I mean we each have our own wing. Okay, so the house is more like a mansion but it’s ours and we’d wanted to live together and have our own space at the same time.

Alexis will have her own space as well, this will just be a small part to winning her over.

Ready or not, it’s time we get our shit together.

Chapter 3

Alexis

The rest of the day goes by at a crawling pace and I can’t get out of here fast enough. Thinking of how angry Tanner was when he’d stalked out of here, I know there is something more that is bothering him.

“Alexis, you wanna come to the house for dinner tonight?” Bethany asks before I can go any deeper into my thoughts of the man who I can’t seem to ever get out of my head.

“Not tonight,” I say, standing from my computer and start to gather my things.

“Are you sure? You’ve seemed off since you got back from lunch.” I love Bethany like she were my own sister and I know she means well but right now I don’t want to talk about what’s going on. Not with anyone.

Today freaking needs a redo button. Losing a one of the people I consider my friend, my best friend at that sucks. Lori was supposed to be my best friend and now I’m cutting her out of my life. She drew the finally straw with me thanks to her stupid hateful remarks. Then there’s the run in with Tanner. Can the day get any worse than it already is?

My life as it is, feeble at best. You’d think I’d be in a better place filled with joy and happiness, yet here I am bummed the hell out.

“Yeah, I’m sure Bethy. I’ll see you tomorrow.” If only tomorrow wasn’t going to be the same as today.

“Okay,” she says cheerfully before heading off to gather her own things. She always rides with Chaz to work. The two are constantly glued to each other. It’s kinda sickening. Yet I envy the love they have for each other.

Chaz is lucky to have someone like Bethany. Jamie would be happy to know he found someone else to love. Someone who loves her daughter as her own.

I walk through the front doors of the shop before Chaz and Bethany and head for my car. I just need to get out of here, stop for Chinese food and go home, where I could hide from the rest of the world.

Maybe take a bubble bath.

Everyone thinks I live at my grandma’s still, but that’s not the case. I only stay there when Melody is staying the night to help her out. She’s not as young as she used to be and handling a child isn’t always easy on her.

Stopping at my favorite Chinese place, I grab three containers before I start picking out what I want. Thing that makes this place the best is the buffet line up of all my favorites and you don’t pay
