Starting Over

25.

Hannah shows me around and I thought I was amazed before but I was not expecting this, it's live a carnival outside, lots of games and different activities for what seems to be all the littles or any adults that are wanting to have fun, popcorn and candy machines. Hannah talks and talks and doesn't stop, I'm grateful for it as she fills any awkward silences.

"Who's your new friend Hannah"

A voice calls Hannah smiles as we reach a group of boys and girls

"Hey guys this is Arabella, Arabella meet the littles."

She says and goes round introducing them, she plops down onto one of the bean bags and pulls me down next to her. They start discussing their Dom's.

"I'm not getting involved this time with you guys the last time mummy Angela was so angry I couldn't sit down for weeks"

A girl with long blonde hair says they all giggle and she squirms in her seat

"Just don't get caught then silly"

A boy- I think his name is Jonah laughs they all start discussing what happened the last time something about making pact to ensure Elli, one of the other girls got to try alcohol.

"Hey I need to go to the bathroom I'll be right back"

Hannah tells me I nod feeling okay being left with the small group. The conversation starts up again.

"So tells us about you"

Jessica - another blonde asks as she combs a small brush through a dolls hair I shrug

"What do you want to know"

"Well, who's your Dom ? Are you a little or what"

She says asking this time with a nasty tone I look at the others they are all staring waiting on an answer

"Erm.. Hunter.. I'm with Hunter, I'm new to the whole community"

"So you are a fake"

Jessica says I shake my head rapidly

"No not fake, just becoming comfortable with it all. It's all new"

"Well I already know you act too old it will never work, plus it's Hunter he will drop you soon as you don't slip"

I stay quiet

"Jess that's enough leave the poor girl alone"

Jonah says Jess laughs in disbelief

"You're sticking up for her ? You don't even know her ? Don't make out like I'm lying, Kelsey told us about her weeks and weeks ago and if she hasn't slipped into her little space and figured it out by now then she's not one of us..... it's best you leave"

Jessica says at first to Jonah then to me I look at her in shock I decide it's not worth the argument and stand up and make my way back through the garden. I swing open the door and bump into someone I whisper a sorry and look up realising it was Kelsey, I decide to give her a small smile not wanting any drama today.

"Hunter is in the kitchen if you're looking for him, I've just left him"

I roll my eyes, of course she has, when is she never not with him. I head towards the kitchen, when Hunter sees me a whole smile takes over his face as he opens up his arms I fall into his chest not returning his smile he places a gentle kiss on my head and introduces me to others around me. I don't have it in me to be fake and greet them all so I just nod a hello. Hunter stares at me like I have 10 heads, I know he's trying to figure out what could possibly be wrong.  Before he gets the chance to ask

"Yes daddy that's her"

Jessica's voice calls Hunter slowly pulls me away from him and turns me around

"What's wrong Jess"

Hunter asks

"What's wrong ?? I'll tell you what's wrong Hunter, your little brat has been fighting with the little group and has marked my girl"

A man shouts Hunter frowns

"She's been with me for a while now Javi I don't think she did"

"We'll explain this"

Javi calls raising his voice he pulls Jessica's arm into view where there are clear scratches running down from her elbow to her wrist

"I didn't do that"

I say panicking

"I swear I never did that Hunter. I didn't touch her I walked away"

I say Hunter looks so disappointed in me

"We have witnesses Hunter, so either you deal with it or I do"

I feel my anger bubbling, why is no one listening to me

"What happened Arabella?"

Craig asks I shake my head shocked at what's happening as both Javi and Hunter glare at me

"They were being mean when Hannah went to the use the bathroom so I got up and left."

Javi shakes his head, there's two other littles and their mummy standing with Javi waiting for an answer they have tears running down their faces

"Well my girls said you did do it. They said you threw their teddies and started fighting with Jess because you didn't get the yellow dolly"

I roll my eyes at how stupid this sounds like I would throw teddies around. The littles gasp and Hunter grips my arms

"Do not roll your eyes at others"

Hunter scolds me I frown, does he believe I've done this.

"Ask Jonah ? Where is he ? I was next to him when Hannah left"

"Don't you worry about that trouble maker he's getting his punishment"

The mummy says, I think they are calling her Elaine,

"Guys let's calm it, we aren't frightening anyone, this doesn't seem like something Arabella would do."

Hunter says

"Well I didn't do it"

I say folding my arms and shaking my head

"Listen we are aware it's your first time being around other littles Arabella so just apologise and we will let it slide this time"

"I SAID I DIDN'T FUCKING DO IT. IM NOT AN IDIOT I DON'T FIGHT EVER AND I AM NOT APOLOGISING FOR SOMETHING I DID NOT DO."

I shout at the small group in front of me, before I can blink hunters hand comes down hard and fast on my behind making me scream and jump away i look up at him in shock and see his face looks like he's going to burst he's so angry. Oh shit.

But I'm not taking the blame for something I didn't do.
