" Aria.... It's been three months you are telling me . " Natalia complained with an angry look . Which I find comical at this moment .
" Yeah .. remember my bodyguard.." I reminded her which she sometimes forgets .
" Even better. We will take him with us as well. Come on bestie. Enjoy a little. "
" I don't know Nat ."
" Girl , you have too ." She smiled Wiggling her eyebrows. This girl I tell you ..
" Again. I don't care Nat ." I simply said. God I really don't know if it's a good idea for me to go or not.
" Oh come on . He's the heart throb of our campus and is totally obsessed with you ! "
" But -" yeah and he's sweet as well I wanted to add but decided not to.
" No buts . We are going and that's final ." she said as she took out the dress and pushed me inside the bathroom.
I had no option I see .
Changing into the dress I did my makeup and hair . It's final. I am going. I think now it's high time for me to go and have some fun . I usually don't like parties and crowds, specifically the ones going nuts but guess I need to go out .
So here we are. Standing infront of this mantion . More specific Jacobs mantion.
" Are you going to come or not ?" she asked , already out of the care . Apparently she was more excited than me. I really love her personality, how she's able to carry herself so well and so confident. God we somehow make a perfect combination.
" Yeah ." I said not so sure. I took a deep breath. Why am I so nurvous around people?! I really hate this about myself.
We walked inside and I was instantly regretting my decisions .
" Nat I'm telling you , if you leave me here I'm going to kill you ." I said and gave her my best scary look . This place has so many people. She gave me a smile and held my hand leading us through the crowd.
Cody vanished between the crowd as well. Well that's how he works as I strictly told him I don't want any drama regarding me having bodyguards around.
The last thing I would be wanting is to scare people off . Well obviously I'm talking about the good ones here .
We walked towards the couches and shortly after Jacob came .
" Hey . Isn't this the Queens themselves ?" He winked as he said this.
He was looking very handsome. His black hair is perfectly done , with a fitted black shirt and black denims. He's as always looking the Jacob the whole campus is familer with .
" Happy birthday Jacob ." today is his birthday and the whole school was invited.
" Oh thank you darling. I'm truly blessed with your presence." he said giving me a baw down playfully .
I found out his dad is one of the most important figures in the city . I didn't know all that when Nat first introduced him . According to her He totally likes me . Well I don't think so . We are just good friend . He's my senior and really sweet guy , well a total flirt I might add .
After a while his other friends also decided to join us .
" Aria have this." his friend Nathen , offered a drink . Everyone was drinking except me as I don't like drinking and stuff. My alcohol tolerance is not that good.
" It's very mild . You can have it ." Jecob said looking at me , understanding my conderns .
" Thank you ." I think it's okay... I didn't talk that much but was just engaging myself here and there. Everyone was enjoying, dancing and playing some couple games .
I looked around the place. This was indeed a very beautiful house. Where are his parents I wonder....
Then my eyes fall upon one of those popular girls and I saw she was looking at me , more like giving me death stairs. I was sitting on the side of the couch and Jacob was beside me.
When my eyes caught her she said something that I couldn't understand but by the looks I'm pretty sure what was it . I seriously don't know what her problem is ?
Like why the hell they always try to pick at me ? Well guess I just have to ignore them throughout my whole year.
" Excuse me , I need to use the wash room. " I said and Nat showed me the way . It's her second time coming here so she was familiar with this place.
I follow the instructions . I finished my business , took a few minutes to check myself on the mirrors and did a little touch ups . I was just about to walk out from there but then a voice stopped me ...
" Watch it Aria ... You are playing too far." and without any surprises it's her.
I don't even remember her name .
" Sorry ? " I said not understanding what she was talking about.
" I know what you are doing " she was literally now getting on my nerves.
" Excuse me ? I think you have a wrong assumption about me . " I'm trying to be nice here. I don't wanna attract trouble.
" Stay away from Jacob !" she said and then walked pass me .. pushing me on the process.
I stumbled but thankfully I regained my balance. Gosh I really hate wearing heels. But my 5 foot self requires me to wear it or I would be invisible.
This freaking girl! ... If it's not for the promise I made to teddy I would have punched her face .
Last time , I said to myself . If again she did something stupid I am going to give her a proper medicine.
I huffed as I walked back where my friends are.
" What happened? You are looking upset. " as soon as I reached Jacob asked.
" Nothing just some useless people. What's her name again who's always flying arround you ?" I can't help but to show my frustration.
" Bianca ? .. What did she do ?" he asked frowning.
" Assuming things. Again " I spat out .
" This fu*king bi*ch ! " Nat was about to go for her blood but I stopped her holding her hand so she stayed seated . I don't want dramas .
" No Nat . Leave it . She's just dululu ... "
I said .
" let's not spoil our mood .. come on girls, let's dance . " Nathen said and both me and Nat looked at eachother. Me with a pleading look and she with a mischievous one. And without saying anything I was dragged , well not literally.
I gulped down my drink in one go . The drink .. well it now tasted funny a bit but it gave me a sudden confidence. I started to feel the rhythm as I felt myself dancing to the beats ...oh nuggets, that's my favourite song.
Author's pov;-
As night fell Aria and Nat was enjoying themselves fully . She wasn't that drunk but just a little tipsy. Cody informed about her status to his boss as well and got the order to get them home safe .
It was already 12:30 when they decided it's enough for today. Natalia and her were done as they said their good buys to the boys and took their belongings .
Aria had taken off her heels and was now holding them as they got inside the car .
The ride was silent as both the girls were tired and was drifting off . Cody was at the driver seat. Driving them back home .
" Good night bubbles . Take care ." within 20 minutes they reached Nataliya's place.
" I will . You too. Good night " Aria said as she watched her go inside her house.
The journey was all peaceful . There wasn't much traffic at that hour.
Then suddenly cody noticed something unusual.
He thought maybe it was just him being paranoid but when he took a few turns and that car was still following them .
He understood what was happening . He didn't waste any time and started driving fast .
" What happened..?" Ariya asked panicked , she realised they were going towards the other direction as the car speed up .
" Ma'am .. our car has been followed ." he said and focused on driving .
' Not this again.' she closed her eyes and started to concentrate on her breathing .
The flashbacks of that horrible incident came rushing back as she felt herself getting a panic attack.
Cody pulled out his gun as he saw another car came behind.
Aria's pov;-
God why this is happening again !? I felt that familiar fear came rushing back. I tried to focus on my breathing. The last thing I want now is being in a state where I couldn't even do anything if something happened.
I hold on to my seatbelt as our car speeds up to those unfamiliar roads on this dark lonely night. I don't know where we are going but I just have to trust Cody . I heard him talking to someone. Probably others. Wh-waht should I do? ..
" Shit ." ....
Then I heard a gun shot. Then another one and it goes on .
No no no no ..I never heard it before and it terrified me . I can't describe the fear that overwhelmed my veins hearing that . I suddenly felt dizzy.
I watched as Cody was firing as he continued driving. But then it shoots our back tyres and suddenly the car comes to a hult .
I was now holding my ears trying to stop the noise as it continued firing.
God this wasn't happening.. this .. I tried hiding myself but I know what was happening. Thoughts were invading my mind . what if they find me ? What if this time they really got me . Am I going to die ? .. Teddy ..
Suddenly it's so difficult for me to breat . I struggled to catch my breath. My heart was pounding furiously. The gun shots scared me more than I realized.
I couldn't concentrate on what was happening around me but suddenly my side of the door was harshly opened and I closed my eyes......
To be continued......
