Synopsis: Ace is a cheater
Ace was your everything. He was one of your first friends in this world of villains, and he's been there for you. He was there holding you when you were sobbing so hard you fell to the floor, your body curling in on itself. He was there on your happiest moments making you smile brighter than before with his little quirks. The way he looked at you with shimmering, lovesick eyes. His excuses to always be around you. He would defend you even when you weren't around because he doesn't allow anyone to disrespect you. He would do anything for you, he made that clear. Epel had even made fun of him, calling him a simp. And even though Ace scowled at him he couldn't say much cause it was true.
So how did you get here?
You felt the pain wash over you in heavy waves after the realization hit. That was Ace. With another girl, arms wrapped around her waist, their foreheads touching. And he's looking at her like she's the best thing the universe has to offer.
You stay frozen in place for a moment. Tears you don't even realize are there fall down your face uncontrollably as you watch them. He says something to her and her little giggle makes the sharp pain in your chest worse. You see them lean in to kiss each other when you snap out of your stunned state. You wipe your tears and turn to speed walk back to Ramshackle.
A million thoughts rush through your head making you light headed. Why? Why would he do that? Did you do something? Is she better than you? Did he love you?...
By the time you finally get to Ramshackle and close the door behind you, you collapse against the door. Shaking violently with heavy breaths and your knees up to your chest. Your heavy sobs rack through you. The room feels suffocating but maybe it's just your struggle to breathe properly. The overwhelming feelings rushing through you is too much, making you grab at your hair, yanking it. Grim must have heard your cries as he cautiously looks around the corner. He looks alarmed by the sight and rushes over to you. "O-oi, henchman?! What's wrong?!" He exclaims standing right infront of you now.
"Ace…" you managed a barely audible squeak of his name. Grim seems to wanna ask more but he doesn't. He just moves next to you and rests his head on your leg.
"It-it will be okay…" is the only thing he says as he lets you cry it all out.
The scene of Ace looking so happy with someone else still has your mind spiraling. You continue to sob for God knows how long. Eventually you pass out from exhaustion with Grim following along. The next morning feels like hell. Your body hurts from falling asleep on the floor. Your hair is a mess and your eyes are crusted over from tears. Plus the bags under your eyes. You remember Ace, and the dread immediately consumes your body. You try to push down the thought. You feel tempted to just stay there but you know you have to get ready for school. If you missed a day Crowley would give you an immense amount of work to do. So quickly you get ready for the day, you tried to look for Grim but he wasn't there. Odd.
On the way to school you see Grim and Deuce and Ace. They seem to be fighting? Ace is backed up against a wall and Deuce is yelling in his face with Grim interjecting Him. You debate whether you should stay or just leave when Ace spots you. He immediately runs up to you and hugs you tightly. "Babe! I'm so happy to see you, I'm so sorry! That girl meant nothing to me I swear! I-"
You push him off of you and impulsively out of a rush of emotion you slap him across the face. And not a light slap either. That shit echoed and Deuce and Grim just paused, completely stunned. Ace was stunned too. With his hand on his cheek he looks at you completely speechless. You wanted to scream at him and hit him some more but you restrained yourself. For now at least you thought.
"Fuck off" was all you said to him before walking past and grabbing Grim and Deuce with you.
