Twilight Ch 13

Chapter 13 

Alaric never told Eileen about their real first meeting behind the high school, by that stinking ditch

1/4 

He was a mess then. Filthy. Starving. Digging through garbage for food

Then she appeared

Like some angel in white, standing at the alley’s mouth, looking at him with soft eyes

She pulled out two grand and handed it over

Find something better to do.” 

Her voice was gentle. Stop doing things that make you hate. yourself.” 

Alaric never knew why she helped him

Maybe pity, maybe sympathy, maybe she was just bored and passing by

All he knew was Eileen saved his ass

He used that two grand for a bus ticket out, worked his fingers to the bone, played the stock market like a genius, caught the tech boom just in time

Chapter 13 

2/4 

When he rolled back into this city, he was all Armani suits and 

yesmen

Eileen? She’d turned into a knockout, cycling through

boyfriends every couple months, living it up

It didn’t surprise him

A girl like Eileen was meant for this, meant to have guys worship. the ground she walked on

But fuck, it hurt

Maybe it was his fuckedup genes, but something wild inside kept screaming to grab her, lock her up, take her

Wrong. All so fucking wrong

He tried fighting it. And fighting it nearly broke him

So, he ended up with serious mental issues

Strongarming her family into this marriage was his desperate decision

– 

He was dying to have her this goddess of a girl. The loneliness was eating him alive, driving him crazy, nearly breaking him

But if Eileen didn’t want himhe’d back off

No way in hell would he turn into a piece of shit like his old man

Chapter 13 

Then she walked right into his arms, all on her own

And Alaric? He finally felt like his life meant something

Six years after the marriage, their kid was running around at 

[wo

3/4 

Alaric had this dream about his past life

He died in that cold, dark hellhole and watched Eileen leave a rose by his dead body

That night, he chainsmoked on the balcony till dawn

His bloodshot eyes fixed on the moon, round as those pizzas she’d made few days ago

His chest felt hollow

If she’d bolted back thenyeah, he probably would’ve just killed himself

The rational part of him couldn’t get why he’d gone so batshit crazy with despair, but it made sense

Mental illness made you do wild things

But this time around, she stayed… 

Hey, what’s eating you?Eileen wrapped around his waist, snuggling close. You’ve been off since this afternoon.” 

Chapter 13 

4/4 

Alaric felt sad and wanted to whine about it, but the words got 

stuck

He scooped her up by the waist instead

She squeaked, legs automatically locking around him, playfully smacking his shoulder

You’re being bad!” 

His ears went red as he buried his face in her neck, nuzzling before swallowing his questions

Eileen hated when he dug up the past. So she always said, Let’s focus on making our future good.” 

So he let it go

Whatever happened before, she was here now. That was what mattered

He smiled against her skin. You know, I just love you soooo0 much.”
