Isabellas pov:
We now stand outside the doors to this stupid pity ball
I hate it.
Adrian's arm making it's way round my waist and he whispers in my ear "why are you so nervous?" With a husky tone to it
I take a deep breath
Is it that obvious?
I realise everyone is staring at me confused other than summer who's in her own world but she can cover up it better than me
"I'm not nervous just.. shocked at the size of the place?" I attempt at lying but I'm crap at it
"Righttt" Alexander said in a serious but sarcastic Voice
Summer snaps out of it and says "we going it what!?" And Killian holds her by the waist too now
Let's do this.
We go in and I instantly smell the posh food and fragrances
Suddenly I'm like Cinderella at the top of the stairs at the ball with stares pointed towards me
Well more us.
I hear gasps as People see Adrian and Killian with someone at their sides but little do they know it's all forced
Not like the type of People here would even care
I know why People were shocked Adrian and Killian always turn up alone
Never besides someone
I look up with sad and wary eye's
All I can think about as I look up is that night when everything went down at a similar ball
When she jumped from that balcony
My eyes watering but I have to hide it we reach the bottom and Emilio already looks ready for a drink and so am I
"Let's get this over with quicky" Killian said and I nod for once agreeing with him
Looking to the dance floor pictures of her bloody figure fill my mind in a flash and I had to cover everything up with a smile
I grab summer as soon as I can giving her the biggest hug and she gave me a unsteady smile
"Let's do this" she said and then we look at the boys who pull out a seat for us "drinks?" Killian asked and I quickly knew what I wanted
"A glass of prosecco with lemonade" and he nodded letting me know he'd get it for me
Thank god.
I'm gonna need it .
"I could do with the same" summer said like she was short of breath looking around the large and fancy room
I keep a strong façade on no smile no grace I make it like I don't care about my impression and where I am
I am to show how much they don't know about me
We sit on a table in a more private corner until the table's are brought to the table and then Alexander starts to speak
"Right go greet people be nice give a good impression" he says to everyone and I roll my eye's "I am staying at this table" summer said and I nod my head in agreement
"No you will come with me" Killian said and then Adrian added saying "and you with me" pointing towards me
"Fuck you" I spat at him already in a foul mood
I see some waiter's and people around us give a shocked look my way
"Not right now Izzy , get up and don't be rude also drop the attitudes both of you" Alexander said and I look at him in frustration
"Fine but I am greeting people for an hour max" summer said as if she could read my mind
"Yeah me too" Emilio said yawning and getting up to greet People with us all
Me , summer ,Adrian and Killian split up with Alexander and Emilio
We walk over to this group who I must say looked extremely wealthy and proud , judging by their accents I guess they could be the French mafia family
"Ah! Adrian and Killian, wonderful to see you again" the older man of the group said pushing a younger girl around 18 years of age closer to Killian
I'm guessing father and daughter
He's trying so hard to marry her off to Killian
It's disgusting.
She looks a good few years younger than Killian and you can tell she does not want this
"Who are these gorgeous girl's with you?" The women who I guess is the man's wife asked and I smile at her
She give me a smile but I can tell it's fake
"This is Isabella and summer " Adrian said with a smirk and the next thing that leave his mouth make me speechless
"Isabella's my girlfriend"
What now?!
I'm his what?
"She what.." summer attempts to say but gets caught off by Killian "and summer is mine" he said and I look to summer as well with annoyance
No they fucking don't
"Oh lovely" the father said clearly a sense of annoyance knowing he can't get his daughter with Killian
This is gonna be hard to keep my cool
*2 hours later*
We have been at this for two fucking hours now.
"One last person" Adrian said and I just ignore him and let him drag me along with him
We now are also with Alexander and Emilio
They look just as fed up as me and summer
Nearly over now though.
We reach this younger couple and they look slightly familiar like I've seen them before maybe a past ball
The woman also seems to recognise me and then it clicks
She was at the ball that Day she was the one laughing, the one I slapped because as Zoe was about to jump she laughed at her
"Killian ,Adrian and the Romano's" the man with the girl said in greeting's
"Hello William" Alexander smiled and I felt myself zoning out staring at the girl as they spoke
Suddenly she spoke "that's it! Your the girl from the ball 2 years ago , the bitch who slapped me cause her fucking dummy of a friend's decided to kill herself Infront of everyone!"
I froze
Everyone now staring at me and summer
"You fucking what bitch?" Summer spoke and I just kept staring in shock "you heard me I never did get to slap you back" the girl said approaching me
"Zoe was not dumb" is all I'm able to spit out
Now the whole ballrooms silent
"She fucking was so attention seeking" she said and the boy besides her shoved her "alright stop it now." Adrian said as the girls continued to get in mine and summers faces
"Attention seeking?! you laughed at a fucking girl who was about to kill her self " I managed to get out and step towards her
"Back up." The William boy said and I glared at him
"Yeah you bitch " the girl said and raised her hand it was like it was in slow motion
The sting of my cheek to the overwhelming shock.
I then send a punch right to her cheek "don't ever touch me." I said as she fell right to the ground
William draws his gun pointing it at me
Then Adrian and the boys all draw their guns
"Tell your little girlfriend to not touch her before pulling out your gun for pathetic reasons" summer said in anger
"Don't fucking touch Izzy ever again and William drop you gun now!" Adrian said glaring at the girl and then William
"She punched me!!" The girl screamed with a tear running down her face along with a fearful look
"you slapped me , next time don't mess with someone you don't know " I said and snatched a gun from Adrian's waist and pointed it at her
"Izzy put the gun down!" Emilio yelled
"No I think it's about time this little bitch gets a grip or she'll lose a fucking hand , Zoe was my best friend and she only killed herself at the ball because of you and many others here she couldn't wait any longer,ITS YOUR FAULT SHES DEAD" I snap and then hell breaks loose
"Who's Zoe?!" Alexander asked well more shouted
"A pick me bitch " the girl said and summer then ragged her hair "repeat that again I dare you" the girl whimpered at summers words
A shot is fired into the ceiling
By William.
Everyone stands in silence until Adrian breaks it "we are going!" He yelled and he grabs me aggressively with anger
It's not my fault though...
"LET ME THE FUCK GO!!" I screamed I'm so riled up taking a deep breath to try calm down
"DO NOT EVER FUCKING YELL AT ME!" Adrian screamed in my face Infront of everyone and it looked like he would slap me right then and there
I'm shocked he didn't
"What do you expect?! You kidnapped me Adrian , stole me from my fucking LIFE" I said a little more calm
"Let's get going" Killian yelled yanking summer along the way
"Stop slow the fuck down she deserved what she got you can't blame us" summer said pulling back
It wasn't us she slapped me first!!
"Let's not do this here " Killian said and you could tell he was losing patience "no let's do it here, let's tell everyone how disgusting you men really are" summer said and I'd try stop her but once summers angry there's no stopping her
"Let's tell them how you kidnapped us , stalked us and forced us here and then have the guts to tell People we are your girlfriends" summer said her eyes watering but she won't let it go
She never does.
"Stop it summer" Emilio demands as Killian pulls at summers arms
Getting aggressive.
"Stop pulling her" I finally speak and everyone goes silent and looks at me as Adrian keeps hold of my arm
"I thought you all liked the fear on people's faces , it's not like her telling everyone here is going to do anything,your the all mighty mafia's right? These people are all disgusting criminals too they won't do anything so let her make her point " I said and everyone stared with suspicious and curious eyes as to what might happen next
"Izzy drop it right now, your making a fool of yourself " Adrian said on my ear
'i just laugh and look to summer so she can finish
"I want to go home away from you all , I never wanted to come to this ball or even know you Killian" summer said and I could tell she was at the edge
"You hardly had a life in the first place" Adrian butted in and I took a step away from him shocked at his words
"Unbelievable, at least I had something now I don't have a life at all" I said ready to run out of here
I'm about to head out but Adrian pulls me back and I fall into his arms
"You have a Life, you have me" Adrian said loud and clear so everyone could hear
Him.
Always him.
"You lot are not a gift, we have nothing " summer said and I agreed
The only thought that came to my head was the next thing I said "and I didn't survive for nothing "
The room silent for about a minute as I looked around at everyone's nosy faces ,the only People who were concerned for us were girls who clearly were in a similar position
Then suddenly I'm being yanked out of there I give no effort too fight I just keep a strong and cold expression and walk besides him
I can tell I'm at the edge of a panic attack but I don't show it
No one can tell
My breathing getting too fast too hide by the time we reach the car and Adrian practically throws me in one limo and summer is pushed into another
I suddenly realised 3 limos are here meaning me and Adrian in one summer and Killian in another and Emilio and Alexander in the last
I see Emilio looking grumpy and angry clearly at me and summer
Why did I just do that?!
I just lost it Infront of everyone
I hear the car door slam and I feel Adrian's presence right next too me ,oh lord send help.
