Hey guys! I'm sorry I didn't post over the weekend but I won't be posting on weekends because I can only post when I'm at work and that's only on weekdays, unless I could get WIFI on the weekend but I hope to finish this story soon. This chapter is short so I will post chapter 4 later in the day. Enjoy!

Chapter 3: going back

…..END OF FLASHBACK…..

"So yeah that is what happened to me."

Piper finished telling the story and both their eyes were filled with tears. It was painful for Piper to remember what had happened to her and Alex was crying out of anger because she felt sorry that Piper was hurt like that. Alex felt a pang of hurt as Piper told her what had happened to her.

"I'm really sorry about what had happened to you. Do you know who did this and why they did this to you?" Alex asked in a comforting voice.

Piper had to admit that she really felt safe being around Alex and she was touched that Alex cried because of what happened to her even though she was a stranger. Piper casted her eyes down as Alex asked her that question. She knew that it was coming.

Alex saw how hesitant Piper was. "It's okay you don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I totally understand." Alex told her reassuringly.

"Yes, I know who did this to me. The person I used to date has a brother who is a gangster and I only met him once. He told me that if I break their heart he would come after me and teach me a lesson. He told me that no one messed with her family and got away with it" Piper said and looked at Alex as she said the last part.

Alex noticed that Piper used "Person" and "their" when referring to the person she was dating and not "he or she" to be precise. Piper did not want to tell Alex about the ex being a girl in case, it makes her uncomfortable or if she was a homophobe.

Piper saw Alex's forehead crease and her eyebrows raised with a distant look on her face which told the blond that she was probably thinking, and Piper thought Alex was thinking that she broke her Ex's heart.

"I didn't break anyone's heart. Mine was broken. My ex cheated on me more than three times and at first I stayed because I was afraid of the brother, but I couldn't stay anymore so I left."

It took Alex a moment to analyse why Piper had told her this but then she realised that she did not answer Piper because she was deep in thought.

"I'm really sorry to hear that Piper. You certainly don't deserve to be cheated on and be beaten on top of that."

"Thanks Alex. I have overstayed my welcome, so I think I should probably get going and I am sure my friend is worried sick. Thanks so much once again Alex. It would be an honour to buy you lunch some other time."

"You don't have to thank me Piper. I am just glad I must help you and lunch is certainly not necessary. I hope I will see you around." Alex was bummed because she did not want the blond to leave but little did she know that Piper did not want her to leave as well.

Piper was disappointed that Alex did not want to have lunch with her, but she tried to musk it.

"Can I have your number at least? Then I could keep in touch and should you change your mind we could have lunch. Maybe we could be friends?"

Alex was disappointed to hear the word "friend" but did not show it.

"Sure, let me just grab a piece of paper."

Alex scribbled her number and gave it to Piper.

…..

I know in the beginning I said Alex was from New York, but I changed for the sake of wanting them to take a plane or in this case Piper's private jet. Some of the places will be made up because I do not know USA.
