My brother's Mafia best friend✔

CHAPTER 19

Wednesday morning,

Adriana's pov

I woke up today at 6 am, why is it always me!?

I tried to go back to sleep but apparently my brain doesn't want to.

I got up, grabbed my makeup, outfit, skincare, and flat iron before locking myself in the bathroom for 30 minutes.

I strip out of my clothes and hop into the shower, I feel like taking a cold shower today, to give me energy, alright cold shower it is.

After my long shower, I got dressed into a beautiful sky-blue dress filled with flowers, after that, I did my makeup sprayed some perfume and straightened my brown wavy hair, satisfied with the results I unlock the bathroom door and walk to my bedroom, I take my phone and check the time 7:25 AM, well at least it's not dark outside anymore?

I walked down the stairs to the kitchen, I'm hungry.

"Seriously, why is our fridge empty?!" I groan in frustration.

I head to the front door take my keys and go to the nearest grocery shop.

After 5 minutes of driving, I park my car in the parking lot and jump out of the car making sure to lock it before entering the shop "Hey Adriana, I didn't know you were coming!" Mr Campbell says clearly shocked to see me here, he is one of my parents old friends from high school, I know him since I was four maybe, every time we come to the beach house, he would visit us, I feel bad that I forgot he's here :(

"Hi Mr Campbell we all missed you, me and my friends decided to take a break from school that's why we're here" I say running to hug him.

"Your parents are not here?" He says in a sad tone.

"No, I'm sorry, mom didn't tell you?" I ask raising an eyebrow.

"Tell me what?" He questions worriedly.

After that, Mr Campbell decided help me with the groceries, while I was putting food in my basket, I explained everything that happened including why we came to the beach house.

"Oh wow, I'm sorry pumpkin, I don't know what to say, do you know why your dad cheated on your mom?" He asks while I hand him the money.

"I have no clue, and honestly I don't want to know, he moved out of the house, it's for the best" I say with a sad smile on my face.

"Don't worry pumpkin, I'm sure that your mom will find someone much better than your dad" He says as he walks towards me to hug me.

"Thank you Mr Campbell" I say with a genuine smile on my face.

"Of course pumpkin, I'm always here if you want to talk" He says waving at me.

"I'll keep that in mind" I say as I walk out of the shop my smile reaching my forehead.

I open the back door and carefully place the food bags on the seats.

After 5 other minutes of driving, I jump out of the car and lock it before walking to the front door, I unlock the door and head to the kitchen.

"Adriana Valentina Jones, where were you at 7 in the freaking morning!" I hear Ashton yelling behind me.

"Calm your ass down, I went grocery shopping because our fridge is empty, plus I saw Mr Campbell" I said as I put the food away in the fridge.

"Oh really? How is he?" Ashton asks as he sits on the counter.

"How come you're not mad at me anymore?" I ask raising an eyebrow.

"Well do you want me to be mad at you?" He asks raising his eyebrow.

"No I think I'll pass, anyways Mr Campbell is doing great, I told him about mom and dad, how come they didn't tell him? I thought he already knew" I say taking a bite of my apple.

"Well that's weird, maybe they forgot or they were too busy getting divorced" He shrugs taking away my apple.

"Hey! That's my apple" I hit him on his shoulder "But yeah maybe you're right" I say shrugging.

"So, how are you Adriana?" Ashton asks worriedly.

"Hum, I'm fine why?" I ask confused.

"I meant with you know who" He clarifies.

"Oh, yeah I'm not talking to him" I say rolling my eyes.

"Why? did he do anything bad to you?" He asks as he gets up ready to beat up jerk face.

"Calm down Ashton, he was just pissing me off, he wants to know what's going on, why am I so mad at him, I told him no, but he clearly didn't like this answer so he said and I quote 'Fine, I'm going to find out by myself then', I got really pissed so I told him to not try anything otherwise I'll never talk to him again, and if you're right about him liking me, I don't think that he'll try to find out anything" I say smartly.

"You're probably right but if he tries anything, tell me and I'll beat him up for you" Ashton says cracking his knuckles.

"I don't need you to defend me, I can defend myself, from what I remember I punched you very hard in the cafeteria, and that's because I'm stronger than you, but thank you anyway" I tease him.

"Perks of boxing for years" He says crossing his arms on his chest.

"Well, I guess I can thank jerk face, if he hadn't broken my heart, I would never have been in boxing." I say sarcastically.

"Thank me for what?" Jerk face says as he enters the kitchen.

"Nothing" Ashton and I say at the same time.

"Okay? Not weird at all" Jerk face says confused.

"What's weird?" Kayla says entering the kitchen with Sophia.

"There is nothing weird okay?" I clarify.

"Well then why did you say 'Well, I guess I can thank jerk face?" He questions, at least he didn't hear the next part, phew.

"Well you must've heard wrong" I say crossing my arms on my chest glaring at jerk face.

"What is going on with everyone?! Why are y'all being so mysterious? Does is have to do with you being mad at me?" He asks angrily.

"Maybe, maybe not" I shrug my shoulders.

"Okay so everyone here knows why you're mad at me?! Why can't I know!" He says raising his voice.

Who does he think he is raising his voice at me.

I grab him by the throat and push him against the wall, my grip on his throat tightening. "Don't you dare raise your voice at me! If I wanted to tell you what's going on I would've, but I don't trust you like everyone else, you lost my trust a long time ago" I say coldly before releasing him and leaving the kitchen heading to my room.

I slam my door shut and pack my things before running down the stairs heading to the front door "Where are you going?" I hear Ashton yell "Away from everyone" I answer harshly before getting into my car and driving off.
