"Fucking children. I'll be back girls" he said and dragged Antonio out of the cafeteria.

"This better be worth my time" Dante snapped.

"I know the Instagram account used to bully Lexi was you. I know how popular the account is" he stated.

"What do you want " Dante snapped.

"I want you to post a picture. I'd do it myself but I don't have a secret account or as many followers as you" Antonio said.

"Sorry kid I don't post stupid pictures to get people more followers" Dante was getting more annoyed.

"Not what I want. Hold on" he said and then scrolled through his phone.

At the time it had been quite funny so he had taken the picture. A small spider on the floor barely visable and Lilly stood on the chair in the library freaking out over it.

As soon as Dante saw it he smirked "I think it's you who's doing me the favour" he couldn't wait to post it.

"But I would like to know what's going on" he was concerned knowing Lilly must have done something to Emilia to piss Antonio off.

"I can't tell you. It's not my story to tell"

Oddly enough Dante did accept this. "Very well. Here's my number, send me the photo. Oh and don't you dare tell Emilia the account belongs to me, and yes I know she doesn't know because she would have brought it up" Dante said and proceeded to give the boy his number.

"Can you wait about 10 minutes or so" Antonio asked.

Dante was curious but nodded more than happy to wait an extra 10 minutes.
The two boys headed back into the cafeteria. Emilia was shocked at how happy Dante seemed.

She expected Antonio to come back to her but instead he went over to Lilly. It confused Dante too but he knew there was something going on.

Antonio had screenshotted the image and message that had been sent before heading over to Lilly.
"I'm glad you have seen reason" Lilly said stupidly waving her phone like it was the image itself.

"Yeah well what can I say. Emilia just isn't you"
Antonio didn't mention how he liked Emilia and hated Lilly.
Lilly smirked and hugged him. "Let me add my second number in. I can't break up with her just yet because of her brothers but with my second number, they will never know we are together" he whispered.

Lilly gladly gave him her phone, even unlocking it for him.

Instead of adding a number he didn't even have he went into her gallery, he deleted the image and made sure it was gone from all areas of her phone. He made sure there was no other images. He even got rid of the original image.

"I forgot to add, Emilia isn't you because she is so much better and not a msniplative little bitch" he snapped placing the phone back in her hand before walking away.

He saw Emilia watching. She looked like she was about to cry so he headed over even quicker.

"You tricked me" she whispered.

"No Emilia. I tricked her" he said and handed his phone to her with the screenshot on.

"The image is gone completely from her phone. It's not saved in any areas. I deleted it. She won't be blackmailing you with it again" he explained.

Emilia was shocked but felt an unknown feeling. She didn't expect him to do that for her. She quickly hugged him and thanked him.

And just like that everyone's phone went off.

A picture of Lilly had been posted with a snarky caption.

Alot of students looked at their phones some laughed others whispered. The comment section was blowing up.

Lilly practically stormed over to Emilia "you little bitch, you're behind this" she screeched.

"Enough. I'm afraid lilly you need to come with us" a teacher appeared, a cop was also there.

Everyone was watching some tool images of Lilly being taken away.

The school had informed the police of the shoplifting and her parents had been brought in along with the police. She had been expelled that was certain. The school no longer wanted her as a student. Her parents travelled to the police station with her they were dissapointed and annoyed with their daughter.




"Did you have anything to do with that" Emilia asked.

Antonio never wanted to lie but he didn't want her exposed to the truth.

"The account isn't mine Emilia" he told her wrapping her in a big hug. He could see she needed it.










She was relieved that there was no more Lilly. No more bullies, no more abuse. She was getting better.

Only that evening after telling her dad what had happened privately. She said 7 words. 7 dreadful words.

"I want to see Lexi, for closure."











Thoughts on this chapter? Im trying to wrap this book up but still so many ideas. Also Dante made sure Damon wouldn't see the post as he knew it would raise questions.

It was all written off the top of my head after midnight. Hope you all enjoyed

And the cliffhanger.....hope you don't hate me.
