Chapter 4

Walking out of algebra class, I stared at my watch, she should be back by now, or was she basically in an house arrest?.

I signed and kept staring at my phone waiting for her call or text, I didn't like this, I didn't like being worried.

I bumped into someone and look up, and it was Mr Lorenzo, great, just great.

" Am sorry". I mumbled placing down my phone, and staring at his green intimidating eyes.

" Where's Ari?".

" Hopefully home, I guess". He narrowed his eyes and walked past me, way to go, he really is something.

Going back to my phone, I walked into an empty class thank goodness, there where no couples having sex, I dialed Bloom, and this time she answers the phone.

" Oh my god Bloom you scared me". I grumbled the minute she picked up.

" Am sorry I woke up on my bed, without my cell phone, Mr Austin decided to take them without my permission". They had a big fight, and I didn't have to guess about her mom, she only calls her dad , Mr Austin, when's she tripple mad, and from the sound of her voice she was past there.

" Bloom breath". I whispered like she was right in front of me, but she heard me.

" I.... I can't, I can't". And now she was crying.

" God bloom, where is Knox". I grumbled feeling restless, the last time something like this happened it didn't end to good.

" I... I kicked him out, I hate them, I hate all of them". He voice broke, and her breathing became forced, she she keep this up she might have a panic attack, not might have she was already getting there.

" Please I need you to breathe, follow the sound of my voice, deep breath". She drew in a sharp breath.

" Breath out ". And on my words she did so.

" Again". I whispered and she did, and finally I could hear her breath fine.

" I need you here ele, he's planning something, probably how to kill me next ".

" Bloom he's your father". She really needs to remember that, in her head he's the man who broke the happy home and killed her mom, and now forcing a life on her, a monster, I mean he is just not literally.

" And she was his wife".

" Bloom". I called letting out a sign.

" Whose side are you on?".

" Of course yours, but bloom". .

" No, no, no, buts". I guess another day then.

" He wants me in this gala what so ever, and I don't want to go alone, please come with me". It sounded like a request, but I know it wasn't, bloom wouldn't give me that choice.

" Okay fine, once school is over I'll head home, you could tell Knox to come pick me up". Again not like I have a choice.

" Thanks ele, I love you ". I smile and roll my eyes.

" I'll say it back, when you get me a box of chocolate". I hear her little laugh before I actually end the call, making me smile.

" Whose behind that smile?". I didn't need to look behind to know it was Ella, but I did anyway.

" Well I'll tell you, but it's personal". I said walking off but she followed me, Ella was a beautiful blonde blue eyes, and perfect body, she was the daughter of Principal Matt, and she had a thing for me, which I found out the night she kissed me while having a study sess, I told her am not into girls but she just won't give up.

" Let me guess you got my text". She said the minute she stood in my way smiling, leaving me confused.

" Your text?". I asked and she nods I stare at my phone and there I saw it, would you be my date to a gala party this evening and if am pushing my luck also prom?.

I blinked, she really can't be serious.

" Ella". I began, but she caught me off

" I know, I know you aren't into girls, you've said that a dozen times, but you also haven't dated any guy from school, you turned down Chad last week, so I thought maybe you are still trying to figure out if you're gay?". She really doesn't get it.

" Look Ella am not figuring out anything, I know am straight, Chad isn't my guy, nor any of the boys". I watched her smile die and now I feel guilty, how many times do we have to go down This path.

" Ella, you are amazing person kind soul, sexy as hell, smart, any guy or girl would be lucky to have you, just not me". I whispered, taking hold of her hands, she lifts them up and place a kiss on them.

" At least go to gala with me".

" Ari already wanted me there so you could with us". It came out like a question honestly, I expected her to say No but she just smiled and nodded before walking away, what do I do with her?.

Being me isn't hard a normal average girl, that goes unnoticeable by the crowd, I was the tipical girl, excellent student, I don't mean to brag, I walk down the hall and no one notices me, I mean not that I want them to.

The only friend I have is Ari, which only happened cause she needed something sane in her life, and she was the only old puzzle in my life, fun but just enough I could handle.

I loved my mom, my brother and my world, people call me naive, well if navie means my life, free from boy drama,free from being broken for no fucked reason, or losing count of my body count, then I'll happily be called naive.

Walking into my home no one was home, Alessandro ditched me for whoever Lisa was, and mom won't be back till late night, so it just me the house and get ready for a save gala, Bloom owns me big time.

Ari place her lipstick on her lips, the rings on her fingers reflected on the mirror, but the blue eyes reflection held hers.

" Can I come in?". He asked softly, scared his voice might annoy her.

" Nope". She answered going back into her makeup.

" Come on" . He pleaded, but Ari just ignores him, and he comes In any way.

" Are you really going to stay mad at me?". He asked again and still no response.

" Ari". He called, but she just fixs her rings on her fingers, and mess with her hair, some times he Wonder if she does this on purpose, unintentionally seduce him and leave him crazy, the green stripes were gone, and her hair were back to the original color black, heavy curls, which didn't help she was just on a very tin gown, waiting to change into her gala dress.

" Ari". He begged.

" Knot I need to change". She mumbled getting up and Turing to him.

" And I need you to talk to me". .

" I just did that, oh wait I'll do it again, leave". He held her gaze and this time they weren't the fake green eyes, they were the most perfect brown eyes he could ever imagine.

She picked up her gown and walked into her dressing room, leaving him alone, he furiously toys with the ring on his left Pinky, he hated this he hated she was mad at him, he hated he wasn't good enough, he hated he couldn't just fuck the anger out of her, he hated everything.

Furiously walking into the gym room, he needed this anger out, somewhere, on something.

The first punch on the punching bag was Flynn face, he was a dick and made Ari life difficult, Knox punched and punched putting all his unsaid emotions into it, and he didn't see Mr Austin walk in.

" Keep going and you might actually hurt the bag". Mr Austin words stopped Knox, and he took a breath In.

" Am just wanted to blow off some steam". Knot mumbled, gulping down a bottle of water.

" Twenty minutes into a party, well I must say that's a very unwise decision, but that's what happens when Ari's involved". His words froze Knox.

" Oh please don't ack surprise, Every living thing that's smart knows you have something for Ari, Ari's smart I just don't know why she doesn't see it, or maybe it's her way of rejecting you she plays dumb to it". He smiles at the hurt look on Knox face and starts taking of his suit.

He lets out a chuckle before landing a punch on Knox face, who didn't expect that.

" You're my best man Knox". He mumbled before lunching another punch, which this Time was blocked.

" And I don't need you falling back, especially not in the name of a thing you have for my daughter". He said his every word follows with a punch and so far he hasn't been able to get Knox.

" Cause I won't hesitate to remove you". And those words made Knox flip, letting him successful hit him, making him hit the ground.

" Pathetic". Mr Austin cursed and kicked the water bottle at his feet angry, while glaring at Knox.

" Now I don't care what you do, beat yourself up, or better still get a taste of her and end this fantasy in your head, cause soon I'll need you explaining this life to her, I'll need you to be by her side, and I can't have that if you can't think straight at the hearing of her name, fix yourself, or I'll find someone who isn't infatuated with her". He grumbled picking up his suit and walking off, leaving Knox on the floor,with his words.
