Arabella Anastasi is just a girl, with a dark past. She wore a mask and hood at school (although, she hardly showed up) to avoid people and questions, she went by a fake name too. Her mafia involvement wasn't a big help either, her secret could be a...

"Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey.", I said as I shook Arabella.
She was sitting on a chair and I was watching the races. Now that they were over, I wanted to go pick up Marco, King and Leo.
"Can we please go pick them up?", I asked for the twelfth time today.
"Go eat first Zade.", She said.
"I ate like an hour ago!", I complained.
"Exactly!", She exclaimed.
She's been more careful about everything I do and has been keeping mental track of how much I eat every day. It's been three days since my... *scoff* incident.
I know she blames her self for what happened and I've read enough books to know she'll want to distance herself to keep it safe.
Although I don't think books are accurate.
But I tried bringing it up again, this time, I'm actually pushing her about it.
"Arabella don't dare beat yourself up over it, okay?", I started.

"Arabella, please don't leave me.", I pleaded.
"I won't, Zade. I won't.", she promised.

"Look if you have a fucking issue with it, get it solved. I don't have an issue and I'm rather happy like this so leave me alone!", I nearly yelled.
"In order for it to be solved, I need you to remove your hand from my thigh!", She said, matching my tone.
"It's comfy.", I said.
"It feels weird."
"No it doesn't, you're just not used to it.", I said as I pressed on the brakes slowly to stop at the red light.
"If you're using the main roads to get to Aspen then-"
"I'm not God damn, I'm taking the longer way to the highway, it's a quicker way to get to Aspen.", that makes no sense.
