Chapter 5

"How did she die?" I ask in between uncontrollable laughter. Scott just begins laughing the more at this. "I was in the bathroom and I mistakenly left the door open. She waltzed in to maybe poop in my shoes or commit whatever attrocity was in her wicked mind. I guess she heard the tap on and came to check". Laughter follows this and I can only imagine how it all happened. "The bishh had a heart attack". This sends me scrambling out of bed because I just choked on my laugh. My mind makes a mental picture of Gabbana, horrified at the sight of Scott taking a bath. I'm laughing and coughing at the same time, when I hear my door open.

In comes my aunt, dressed in all black, even down to the sunglasses she's wearing for no probable reason. Scott stops laughing and I just called ntinue coughing. She walks to me with an air of superiority, the same as she's always been since we moved here. "I'm sad to inform you dear Arya, Gabanna is dead" she says. The sight of her in all black and brooding over the death of my least favorite tormentor has me shaking from not being able to control my laughter. Scott signals me to keep myself in check. "My condolences" I say looking up at my aunt's face, "I'll really miss her".

She dramatically uses a little satin hankerchief to dab at the corners of her eyes. Her vision strays to Scott and she scowls. "Has your brother informed you of the part he played in taking Gabanna's life?" She asks and I don't know if I'm to nod or not. "I didn't kill her" Scott says defensively and she raises a hand to her lips, shusshing him. "She was found dead in your room" she says. "She had an heart attack, my room can't do that" he says but I can see the faint trace of a smile at the end of his lips.

She ignores him and turns to me. "We're having a funeral for her. She was a part of the family and we shall treat her as such. Therefore, we are all to be in black to commemorate Gabanna's passing. To put into our hearts, her loss and by our actions respect the sweet angel she was". This little speech makes me open my eyes wide. Gabanna, a sweet little angel. "I understand aunt" I say, my voice taking on a mourning tone. I'll wear black alright, not to mourn the loss of a bitch but to celebrate it. "We can also mourn the loss of another relationship while we're at it" she says, pity leaking from her eyes.

My breath hitches at this and I can see the suprised look in Scott's eyes. How did she know I'd broken up with Aron. She brings out her phone and shows me a video sent to a group chat of hers. I'm kneeling down, begging Aron. It's only a few seconds long but it's enough to shatter all the happiness Gabanna's death has brought. "Who sent this?" I ask, voice shaking from pain. She looks at me squarely and gives me a pitiful pat on my hair."Aron's mother".
