Always Yours | 18+

chapter thirty

Not one person is outside. I put my hands in my pockets as I walked onto the beach. It is very slippery and my shoes do not have that grip meaning I have slipped multiple times but I have never fully fell yet.

I can feel someone walking up behind me and I honestly don't even care, they took off my hat making me turn my head to see Nicolas holding it.

I took it from him and put it back in my head my cheeks are red, my eyes are red, my nose is red and I still have tears coming out of my eyes. "What is going on with you Angelina?" Nicolas asked, "I am fine" I said as I turned to face the water. "Your eyes, face and behaviour say something very different" He said.

"I said i'm fine" I said as he shoved something in my face making me push his arm away staring at the ring box in front of me. He opened it up for me to see the ring he gave me when he first asked me to be his girlfriend, he threw it into a lake back in Venice so how is this here right now?

"I had divers search for it then got it professionally cleaned four times" He said as I smiled and my eyesight became blurry. "Nicolas I can't." I said.

"You can't what? My hands are getting cold Angelina take it" He said as I looked up at him, "I can't." I said making him stare at me as I wiped my eyes and he closed the box. "No you can, you just don't want to" He said as he lightly threw it somewhat far from us.

"I never said that Nicolas-" He put his hands in his jackets pockets as he began to walk away. "Nicolas please-"

"I don't care Angelina." He said as he turned to face me, "Do what you want with your life I am done." He said as he turned around and walked away. He speed walked over to his car and sped off while I walked around looking for the ring box until I found it, I am full on sobbing. Not quietly like a very dramatic cry.

I put the ring box in my pocket and pulled out a pocket knife. I rolled up my coat sleeve as I pressed the knife against my arm creating a small cut making me exhale as I pressed it along some more creating small cuts.

I slowly sat down and switched hands using the knife on my other arm, I dropped the knife onto the floor as I realized that I have stopped crying. I wiped my arms against my sweatpants as I called Nicolas who didn't answer.

I called my mom who didn't answer then Paige, Christopher, Christian and Giovanni. None of them answered, I stood back up as I started to walk again. I walked back to my community and eventually to my house.

I placed my hand on the doorknob about to open the door but I can hear voices. I walked over to the window in the living room to see everyone and I mean everyone in MY house having a blast.

Nicolas, my mom, Christopher, Christian, Giovanni, Paige, even Grace and Castillo. Even Nicolas's fucking brother Alessandro.

They all have their phones in their hands recording my fucking decorations meaning they all saw me call them. I sucked in a breath as I pulled out my phone and called Nicolas who looked at his phone then hesitatingly as he answered my call.

He walked away from everyone as I placed my phone to my ear, "Come home baby. What are you doing?" He asked as he walked away from everyone. I smiled as I sighed and hung up, he rubbed his face and walked into the alcohol pantry as I called everyone in that room and they all looked at their phone as they sent me to voicemail.

I looked at my phone to see that Christopher is calling me. "Yo yo! Sorry I just saw that you called me earlier" He said as he answered making me look out the window to see him walking away from everyone.

I exhaled as I walked away from the window "Angelina?" He asked as I walked out of my community. "Where are you? Is this not your own Christmas party?" He asked as I walked back onto the streets.
