+Fiona's Point of View+

"Are you gay?" I ask him with my hands akimbo.

"What?" He looks up from his game.

"Are you gay, Luke?" I ask again.

"Of course I'm not. Where the fuck did you hear that, bitch!" He spits with his eyes still on the game.

"Don't fucking call me a bitch, Luke!."

That got his full attention "Really, I shouldn't, but that's what you are, isn't it?. Only a bitch would snatch her best friend's boyfriend, only a bitch would go for Plastic surgery. Your family is quite aware of this, that's why they hate you. You're a bitch, A worthless bitch" He sneers, getting up from the chair, walking towards me, his game long forgotten.

"You convinced me to have the surgery. You said my nose made me ugly! Luke! You did!. If I'm a bitch, you made me this" I shout at him as he moves creepily closer to me.

"Really?, Did I convince you to betray your best friend too?, I only brought out the bitch in you, bitch. And for your question, Yes, I'm gay. What are you going to do about it? Runaway?, To who?, Danielle?, She hates you now, Remember. I'm all you've got bitch. I'm all you've got" He said to me, venom in his words, sadly, he's right.

"I'm not interested in you again. I'm breaking up with you. You're gay for God's sake. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being gay, but you kept it away from me, what the hell are you even doing with me!" I scream. That seem to break the last ounce of patience he has as he grab my hand painfully.

"Say that again" he sneers in my face.

"I -- I'm breaki-- I'm sorry" I sob helplessly. "I'm sorry, I love you, Luke. I'm just hurt" I sob harder.

"I know Kings, I know you love me, You do and you'll always do, but you shouted on me, you disrespected me and you'll be punished for it, so what will it be, A or B?" He smiles, beautiful smile, as I much as I hate him right now, I still love him.

"B. Please let it be B" I say quietly.

"I knew it. You're a horny little bitch, aren't you?. Now put off your panties and play with your self" he say removing a condom from his pocket.

"Please, go easy on me" I beg, tears clouding my vision.

"Oh, bitch. I can't and you know that. B is hard, brutal and merciless sex. You chose it and that's what you are gonna get" he smiled, moving his hand down his length.

"Ha!, No! No!" I screamed, waking up from the fucked up nightmare, Fuck!. I cradled my head in my hand as I cried. Why are these nightmares returning?, It's being long since I've had one, should I start Therapy again?.

"Fiona, Are you okay?" I heard Danielle say. I looked up at her, noticing she's not alone, with tears in my eyes, I told the truth for the first time.

"No. No, I'm not okay" I said bursting into tears.

They were at my side faster than I could think.

"It's okay, Fiona" Violet said, holding me tighter.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" Cara asked.

I sniffed as I said "Nightmares. Luke. Those times. I can't believe I let him do those shit to me, to my body, to my mind. He's gone but his words and actions are imprinted on my mind" I said, crying.

"I'm so sorry Fee, I'm sorry for all you've being through" Danielle said, I could feel the pain in her voice.

"Are you sure you still don't want to go to Italy with us?" Violet asked, worried.

"Nope. I'm fine. Luke's not here" I said.

"It's that boy, isn't it?, Cade?" Cara said disapprovingly.

Shaking my head, I said "Cara, it's n -- ", I suddenly stopped when I remembered what happened, I noticed that I wasn't in my room, I looked around for the first time and immediately the room's fragrance hit my nostrils, I knew whose room it was, Caden's.

"Where am I?" I asked.

"Cade's room. You passed out yesternight, right in front of him after Cara punched him, the drink got to you. She punched him in the jaw, I think she broke his jaw, I'm kinda proud of her. After you fainted, not your best moment though, Cade panicked, he didn't even spare us a glance or listen to us, he drove right here, dropped you on the bed, chased us all out, telling us you need privacy. We slept in the next room, he said it his roommate's who he's not around" Violet explained.

"Where did he sleep?" I asked.

"On the couch" Danielle said.

"Uhrg, out of all Violet said, that's what you could ask?. You're so whipped bitch and by the way, the punch I gave him was a weak one, right now I'm sober, if I were to punch him, he'll pass out or probably die and y'all know it, so I'll advise him to stay out of my way" Cara said moving out, through the door.

"It's actually true. Cara's punch would probably kill him. She's been training since she was 3" Violet said moving out, leaving Danielle and I.

"Are you okay?" I asked her.

"Not really, but I'll be fine. We leave in two hours" She said moving out too.

+Caden's Point of View+

Fuck! Hurts like hell, that Italian bitch is the worst. I can still feel the crack in my jaw despite the fact that I've iced it. Fucking hell! I shut my eyes ruffling my hair.

"Don't do that" I heard Danielle say. I opened my eyes staring at her, her hair is red now, she looks beautiful but broken, don't we all?. We haven't talked since last night, I've been avoiding her

"Don't do what?" I questioned, confused, with my hands still in my hair

"Don't do that" She repeated, pointing her hands to my hair

"What?, I shouldn't touch my hair?" I questioned, still confused

"Yes. Why am I even talking to you!" She said, moving away from me

"Dani" I called out to her

She turned giving me the coldest look ever "Don't ever in your fucked up life call me that" She sneered

Wow, wow, wow, what the fuck happened to the girl I met, to my princess, who is the girl I'm staring at. I said nothing, just staring at her

She broke eye contact with me, whispering "I'm sorry"

"No don't. Don't apologise" I stood up moving towards her "I should be the one apologising, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left like that, and you're right, my life is fucked up" I said whispering the last part

"Cade, can I talk to you?" She asked painfully, her vulnerability showing, making my heart tighten

"Yes, you can Danielle. I will listen, you know I will." I said softly, she reminds me of Caramel

"Okay, let's sit" Danielle said moving towards the couch "Cade, I'm not okay. Xavier, he left, he just disappeared, he vanished without a word, just a stupid letter. I thought we meant something, I knew I shouldn't get attached to people, what's the point when they'll later leave, but he convinced me he wouldn't, he said he'll stay, he promised me forever, Always and Forever, but he lied. I can't talk, I should talk to the girls but I can't, I don't know why. I love him, Cade, I do, despite everything, I still do. It's just sad, I can't do anything without seeing him, I can't even watch my favorite series, all I see is him. I'm tired, I'm so tired, Cade" She said, her eyes glistening with unshed tears

I closed the distance between us, hugging her "Danielle, I don't know why Xavier left or why he did what he did, but it's life. We'll be fine. You will be fine. I'll tell you something no one knows. I had a sister, her name was Caramel, She died, it was tragic and sad, it ruined my childhood and it's still messing with me. You remind me of Mel, I couldn't save her but I'll try to save you."

"You have your life to live, A failed relationship shouldn't end your dreams. Your family is a big one, don't think I didn't notice those men in black, you have your life to live, you have people who love you, your parents, your cute little brother, you have Vani--Fiona and Violet, including that your bitchy sister, Cara. Danielle, you have me, I might seem bipolar and difficult sometimes but you have me, To hell with Xavier!" 

Did I just say that?

"Are you okay Cade?" Danielle aaked, eyeing me weirdly

"I don't know, but I meant all I said"

She was about to say something when that red bitch said "Wow! Fucked up motherfucker is making sense, did my punch do that to you?"

I snarled turning, only to see she's not alone "Were you fucking eavesdropping!" I snapped at her, getting up

"Oh no, we weren't, we were listening. You think I'll leave you with my sister after all you've done to my other sister, after all you've done and you're still doing to Fiona. The bitch won't even leave this fucked up place because of you. You toxic motherfucker!" She spat at me, but apparently she wasn't done "I don't like you, I don't think I ever will. I can't treat your fuck up right now if I want to, you'll be down in a matter of seconds, I'll rearrange your face within two seconds. Take this as a warning, this is from the sister of the the girl that's stupidly in love with you, if you hurt her again, if you hurt her beyond repair, I'll kill you, in a heartbeat, don't doubt me."

"I'm Cara Jovanni, daughter to the one and only Sinister Jovanni, If I want you dead, you will be dead, don't try me" She concluded with a hard grip on my shoulder "We have an hour before our flight girls" and with that she walked out of the apartment, and I pray, out of my life. I'll be lying if I say I wasn't shaken by her words, I looked away from her retreating figure as I looked at Fiona who was bitting the hell out of her fingernail.

"Wow! Cara knows how to be dramatic sometimes" Violet said chuckling nervously

"I'm sorry Cade, she didn't really mean all that" Danielle apologized

"We have just an hour before our flight, we should get going. Thanks for the hospitality Cade, but I'll have to back Cara up a little, I'll gladly assist Cara in killing you if you break her again. Bye" with that Violet walked out

"They were just telling you not to fuck up again. Thanks for everything, I'll stay in touch and as expected, I'm with my sisters, don't hurt her again" Danielle said, holding her smile in, I closed the distance between us, hugging her tightly

"Bye, Princess"

She pulled away, moving out "Bye, Cade. Don't be long, Fee" She said, leaving just Fiona and I

As usual, we were silent till

"How's your jaw?"

"How's your head?"

We said at the same time, we chuckled nervously

"I'm fine" She said bitting her lips. She shouldn't do that, she's testing my limits "I'll be fine, hurts like a bitch, but I'll be okay" She smiled

"Good" I walked closer to her until we were breathing the same air

"You don't want to leave Gotham, why?" I asked her, remembering what Cara said

She looked down at her feet "I can't even if I want to. My education is here. I have friends here, there's Caroline and Kai, I can't just leave like that" I would be lying if I say it didn't hurt when she didn't mention my name

"You had a sister" Vanilla said looking up

"You were eavesdropping" I said

"I couldn't help it, don't avoid my question"

"Yes, I did. What does it matter?" I snapped, growing irritated

She took a deep breath as she raised her hand, cupping my cheek, she looked at me with so much love that I almost broke down

"It's fine Caden. You don't have to hide from me, you can hide from them, but not from me. Never hide from me, please" She whispered

I stared at her for what seem like hours but was just few seconds "Her name was Caramel" I finally said

She smiled at me as she said "One step at a time" I couldn't help but smile back at her

"Yeah, do you wanna sit?" I said putting a little distance between us

"Sure" She said moving to the couch

I sat beside her, taking a deep breath

"You don't have to, Caden" She said intertwining our fingers

I looked at our joined hands as I smiled at her "I want to"

"Okay"

"Her name was Caramel. She had white hair, it was whiter than snow. She was beautiful, the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. She was the only thing holding my family together, I discovered that too late. My father loved her, he adored her, damn!. Sometimes I got jealous with the love he showered on her. She was an angel, she had Vinc--Dad's white hair, she was the only one who had his hair color, maybe that's why he loved her so much. My family was beautiful."

"Caramel favorite food was rice, because it was white. Her best colour was white, she loved wearing white, her room was painted white. She was fucking pure till the end, she smiled till the end, her hugs were the best. Her death changed everything. She died and my family was never the same" I stopped, unable to continue. I couldn't tell her how Caramel died. I couldn't tell her the nightmare my life turned to after her demise. I didn't say a lot of things, I'm not ready or I'm just afraid she'll run and never look back again

"She seem perfect. She lived a good life. I'm sure she's smiling wherever she is now" Fiona smiled at me

She moved closer, hugging me. It felt strange at first but I relaxed into it, I drew her closer as I hugged her, breathing her in.

We stayed like that for a long while, both of us enjoying the feeling and relishing in the moment. We didn't talk about her leaving Gotham and most importantly, I stayed silent on the possibility that she is in love with me, that red head bitch doesn't know when to shut up.

The possibility that she's in love with me shook me to the core, I've never been as frightened as I was.
