Only time will tell (COMPLETED)

Let him explain

Ana's POV
It is now Wednesday and it has been a hectic week. Daniel and Alex has a gang meeting about Xander and how he has targeted both Me and Harper. I still am not sure what Alex did to make Xander hate him so much but I am going to find out. Right now I am walking into school with Jess, I see Gabe and Dylan by our lockers but Blake is nowhere to be seen. As I get closer I see how nervous and fidgety they are. I just brushed it off and we carried in talking.

A few minutes later I had to use the bathroom so I start walking away and I see Gabe and Dylan start to panic, but before they can stop me I turn the corner and see something that shattered my heart into a million pieces.

I see Blake and Brittany KISSING. Blake saw me and pushed her away. My vision started to get blurry with the tears in my eyes. I couldn't believe it, he promised he would never hurt me.
"Ana I can explain"
"Save it!" I snap
I turn around, and with tears in my eyes, run past a confused Jess and a ashamed looking Gabe and Dylan. I realize something and stomp back to them. "You two knew didn't you!!!!"
They looked down in shame
Gabe spoke first and said "We just didn't want you to get hurt. But just hear him out he has a good explanation."
"You think after that I am going to let him tell me a bunch of excuses? The answer is absolutely not"
"But Ana-"
"No I don't want to hear it"
I run out of school and can hear Jess behind me. When I get into my truck i let all my tears loose. Jess pulls me into a hug and I just cry. I called Alex to tell him what happened. To say he was livid would be an understatement. He told me he would be at school in 15. Before I could protest he hung up. I look at Jess and say that there is about to be a problem she agrees.
After I calm down I am about to go back into school but Alex speeds into the parking lot. I get out of the truck to try and talk to him but Blake who has bad timing decided to walk out of school at that moment. Uh oh this isn't going to be good.
Alex walked up to Blake and punched him square in the gut. He then punched him in the face.

Blake's POV
I walk out of school to go find Ana and maybe she will let me explain. Just as I got outside Alex stomped up to me and punched me in the gut and then the face. I didn't stop him because I deserved it. I hurt the person I told myself I would always protect. "She deserves so much better then you!!" I just look down because I know he is right. I hear Ana yelling at him to stop when he does I have blood dripping down my face and a black eye. I see Ana and she looked crushed. How could I be so stupid?
I couldn't take it anymore I walked to my truck but could hear Ana calling my name asking me to come back but I just get in my truck and drive away. I make the mistake of looking in my mirror to see Ana crying while Alex is hugging her.

Ana's POV
After Blake drove away Alex hugged me while I cried. Gabe and Dylan cautiously walked up to me and I didn't stop them. I just didn't care at this point. Gabe spoke first and said "Ana, you don't have to believe us but can you please just let us tell you what happened" I just nodded my head and Dylan continued the explanation. "We were all standing around talking waiting for you guys to show up and Brittany walked up, she started flirting with Blake. We went to make sure you didn't see it because we didn't want to see you upset. But right before you walked around the corner Brittany grabbed Blake's face and started to kiss him. He pushed her off but you had already seen it. Just don't be mad at him, it wasn't his fault."
"Ok I need to go talk to him, where is he?"
"We don't know he didn't tell us and his phone is right here because he threw it at the wall after you ran away crying"
I thought about it and it hit me "I know where he is."
They look at me confused but I just shook my head saying don't saying don't ask. I ask Dylan if he can take the girls home at the end of the day and he said he would. They all go back into school and Alex gives me a hug and says he will stop by to see Ally soon.
I get in my truck and drive to the place Blake took me on our second date.
His thinking spot.
I pull up and smile when I see his truck. I knew he would be here. I get out and quietly walk up behind him. I step on a stick and it snaps. He turns around and looks surprised to see me but I am shocked at his appearance. He has cleaned the blood off but his eye is swollen and he has a busted lip, his eyes are bloodshot from what I assume to be crying. I sat down next to him and grabbed his hand. He seemed confused by the action and turned to look at me.

He took a deep breath as if he was gaining the courage to talk, but all of a sudden he started talking really fast
"I'm so sorry, she came onto me and I didn't have enough time to stop her and then you came and saw us kissing but right after you saw I pushed her off and told her to never do that again and th— I shut him up by giving him a kiss. He pulled away and said "does this mean you forgive me?" I laughed and said of course. "Blake" he turned to look at me "Alex wasn't thinking right when he said those things. You are everything I have ever wanted. You make me happy and I don't know what I would do without you."  He looked at me for a while and then looked out at the water. I saw him gulp and say "Alex was right though, you deserve so much more then me." I cut him off saying "you deserve so much more then me as well" he just shook his head. "Blake you may think I deserve someone better then you but truth be told I haven't been this happy in a long time."
"But I did something that Xander would have done. I don't want to be like him." He looked down in shame.
"Blake, you will never be like him. He wouldn't have felt bad for doing it. He wouldn't have apologized. And most importantly I know you would never hurt me like he did. You make me feel safe, that is something Xander never did and will never be able to do." After I said that we just sat there in a comfortable silence. I decided to break the silence by saying "good thing Alex didn't mess your face up, that would be tragic." Blake just chuckles and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. We sat there watching the fish swim in the water and the little waterfall. I could not help but think about how I would have never done anything like this with Xander. And I could not be happier, I am with someone I trust with my life and would do anything for. I have a great family and friends and I have Alex back. I just didn't think that Brittany would stoop that low. But I guess you do things when you are desperate.

"Penny for your thoughts."
I turn to Blake and smile shyly "nope just thinking about how lucky I am"
"I think about that everyday"
"I wish it could be like this forever"
"Me too" he agrees, but
