And Then She Was Gone (book 4)

five

Queen Angel's p.o.v

Alexcia and I are looking at different jewelry pieces and when I look up I see her. She walks next to a man. They walk by quickly, so fast that by the time I react and put the necklace down and run outside she is gone. There's noone there. I walk around and see noone on this side of the mall. Where did she go? Maybe I am seeing things. My trips birthday was yesterday and she is heavy on my mind. It couldn't be her, could it? "Mom" Alexcia says, looking at me like I am crazy. I did just walk out, well ran out without saying anything. "Sorry honey, lets go get your sister and we can come back after" I tell her having to take a breather. We start walking towards the escalator and I see the man who I thought I saw her with, but the woman he is with is not her. I calm myself down. I wipe the tears from my eyes. It wasn't her. I feel my hands shake. This has never happened. We get on the escalator and upstairs and go into the book store. We walk around and find Alexa hiding in the back sitting on a lounge chair reading a book. Alexcia and I take a seat. "My feet hurt." Alexcia says and takes off her heels and rubs her feet. I close my eyes. This is what I need. To relax. It wasn't her I reapeat over and over. We get going and walk back down to the jewelry store to get what my girls want. They take us to a private room so we can sit. My girls look over and Alexcia wants me to go to the front and ask if they can change the stone on a ring so I head to the front. I am talking to the sales lady when my phone starts ringing. I look down and grab my phone and answer it.

Alexis p.o.v

I take my time looking around and I gather everything I will need. I pay and look around at the books. Spencer hasn't returned so I walk out to look for him. I walk around upstairs and still don't see him, so I take the escalator down. I go to the little cupcake shop and get 2 cupcakes so we can share. I pay and walk out and that's when I see him. He is talking to a very beautiful tall woman. They are both turned sideways so he doesn't see me. He grabs her face a little too tenderly for my liking. He looks at her sweetly and kisses her. Oh hèll no. "Are we still on for tonight?" she asks him. "Of course. I'm staying over okay" he tells her and she nods. I have seen enough. Spencer is a pig. "I love you" I hear him tell her. I walk across so he doesn't see me. I walk faster. I try to remmeber where we entered from and I see the jewelry store and remember it was on that side so I hurry that way. As I walk past I see all of the expensive things and hope that one day I can afford expensive jewelry. I want my mom to be able to look like the lady who is on her phone. She looks beautiful, smart, elegant. Everything Sonia deserves to be. Not having a care in the world and being able to buy whatever she wants. I smile, thinking about her. I am going to go home and call her. I think it is time for our vacation. I stand in the designated spot for the ubèr pickup and when one arrives I head home.

"Babe, are you okay?" Hunter asks me. "Yes" I whisper. "I feel all of these different emotions babe. What happened?" he asks me. "Hunter. I don't know what is wrong. I thought I saw her." I sob on the phone. "It wasn't her. I am seeing her now. I can't take it anymore Hunter. Any news on the witch?" I ask him. They all swear by her, but no-one can find her. "Babe, come home" he says. I wipe my tears. "No my girls are having fun shopping. It's okay, I am okay. I have two other daughters that need me too. We will be home later. I love you." I tell him. He sighs "Babe. I love you too" he says and hangs up. I look back out. I just need a miracle. I have suffered enough. I deserve to find my daughter. I know she is alive. I can feel it.

Alexis p.o.v

Spencer has been calling me non stop, but I keep ignoring his call. He can go straight to hèll with that beautiful woman. I am so done with him. I should have broke up with him a long time ago, but atleast now I have a good reason. I get home and unload all of my things. I decide to set up and start painting. I am about to call my mom, but Spencer keeps calling and I am annoyed of hearing my phone ring so I decide to answer and just end it. He doesn't deserve a face to face breakup anyways. "Hello" I answer with an attitude. "Finally Alexis, where the hèll are you?" He asks. "Home" I tell him. "What the hèll Alexis, I am 0here in the mall still looking for you and you went home." he yells. "Yes, why would I stay there?" I ask him. "You left me here alone." he says. "It didn't look like you were alone to me." I tell him. "Wh..what are you talking about?" he starts stuttering. "You had your tongue down a woman's throat Spencer. You told her you love her. You clearly were not alone. Look, this is long over due anyways, lets just end it here. We can be friends if you want, but I no longer want to be in a relationship with you. It is over Spencer." I tell him as nice as I possibly can. "No Alexis. She doesn't mean anything. She kissed me." he says sounding nervous. "Spencer." I say. I breathe in and out. "I listened to everything you told her. We both know you do not love me. I do not love you either. We fell apart Spencer. I am not angry, go be happy with the woman that you love." I tell him. "You don't understand Alexis. I just said that. I do not love her. I love you. She just, she just helps me release. You are the type that wants to wait until marriage and I have been patient, but I am a man and need to feel a woman's touch. She is just convinient and easy, but it is you who I am going to marry." he says. I try my best not to laugh at him. "Spencer, I never said I was going to wait until marriage. I just wanted to wait until I was ready and for the perfect moment and the perfect partner. I realized it wasn't you and that is why I never allowed things to go further than a kiss. Also I am not going to marry you. Our relationship ends here. Please loose my number, do not contact me ever again. Friendship is no longer on the table. Goodbye Spencer, have a nice life." I say and hang up. Good riddance. I remember I have my cupcakes and eat them while I call mom. She doesn't answer so I leave her a voice mail. "Mommy. I hope you are doing good. I finished my program. I am crazy busy working, but I am okay. I love you and I hope to see you soon. I know you are busy, but I will try to call you again tomorrow. I sigh...I miss you so much it hurts." I say and hang up. I check the time and have enought time to grab food and get to work so I do just that. I arrive to the property and it is huge. I have 5 hours to clean though. I put on my headphones, grab my cleaning supplies and get to work. I am done and they tip me $500. I am so happy. I am adding this straight to my savings. I go home, shower and change. Maybe I should go celebrate being single. I put on some tight ass jeans and a cute crop top with my boots and do my hairand makeup. I am doing the last finishing touches when there's a knock on my door. I open it and it is Spencer. I do not open my door all of the way or let him in. "Can I come in, we need to talk." he asks. "No. I already told you everything I had to say" I tell him. "You aren't thinking correctly Alexis." he says catches me of guard as he ppushesthe door open so he can come inside. The door hits my shoulders with how hard he pushed it and I am sure it will bruise. I don't close the door so he can get the hint and leave. "Spencer, we are done, please leave" I say calmly, but inside I am raging. Something in me wants to come out and kill him. "We are not done! You are mine." he yells. I laugh at him and I think that pisses him off because he launches at me. He punches me and slams my head against the wall. Oh hell no. I push him off and stand up. "What is your problem Spencer, get out of my house." I yell He grabs a picture frame and throws it at me. I move out of the way in time for it not to hit me in the head. "Spencer stop it, help. Someone help me" I yell. "Shut up bìtch. You will not leave me okay, you belong to me." he says and grabs my hair. I grab his hand and twist it back and the other one lets go. I punch him in the face. He grabs a little glass elephant that I have an smashes it. He kicks me in the stomach and I punch him in the face. I get like 2 good hits, trying to remember all of the things that Jonny has taught me. He moves around like if we are in a boxing match. He swings at me and misses, but he kicks me and I fall to the ground. I land next to the glass and I grab a piece and when he attacks me again I slice him. "AAhhh you bìtch" he yells. He is holding his ear. "I am going to fùck you and you are going to listen to me." he yells. "Fùck no, fùck you Spencer!" I yell. I wait for the opportunity and when it finally comes I kick him in the balls and down to the floor he goes. I run out and run straight into the cops. Yes, someone must have heard the fight and called them. "Thank you so much for coming. He's in there" I say. They walk in and one asks me to come back and tell them mmywhat happened. I do and then they ask Spencer to say his side of the story. Once he gives them his name I notice the look the officers give eachother. When he is done with his story one cop nods at the other one. "Miss, you are under arrest for assàulting this gentleman" he says. Wait, what the fùck. "I didn't do anything. This is my home, he came here and aśśaulted me" I yell. "Miss, he is the one with the injuries. He is bleeding and you look perfectly fine to us. Please make this as easy as possible. We don't want to give your neighbors a show" he says. "Can I just grab my cellphone and keys." I ask and he nods. "Make it quick. I grab my things and a sweater and put the stuff in my pockets. They arrest me and put me in the police car. I can't believe this.
