Elena
I’m in my car, reversing out speedily to get the f**k out of here!
I don’t care if I’m in front of her, I’m silently crying as the darkness covers the tears on my cheek, Ella isn’t going to see me crying.
I don’t care if it’s those devilish Quads party I need to go to. I’m in the mood to drink my life to a stop.
Ella didn’t finish up with her make-up before I drag her out of the house because one more moment spent there tonight, I’m afraid of what the come would be. She’s applying the remaining on her face as I start the car.
I don’t understand why I was given a w***e like my mother. Jesus Christ, my dad f*****g loved her! Gave her everything! Made sure she lacks nothing! And this is what she’s doing to repay his love? By f*****g with his own very best friend?
“ Trash!!” I yell out of control, pressing the horn of the car. A car is in front of me and he’s f*****g slow to move out so I’m venting out my anger on him.
“ Elena calm down. I think he’s trying to pull over to get petrol.” she’s looking at me like I’ve gone crazy. Sure I am, I’m very crazy right now! I didn’t notice I was close to the petrol station and it’s normal to slow down a bit before passing through.
“ Sorry I didn’t see that,” I say lowly. I’m wiping the tears from my eyes as I try to fix my hair back in shape after roughing it by hitting the horny button with so much frustration in me. Ella doesn’t notice because she’s carried away by her phone.
I’m set for this party and I’m set to ruin my life with alcohol out of frustration. Anything to make me forget what I just saw from that ingrate? I will do it!
I’m wearing almost the same gown as Ella. I told you, she’s this freaking party type then her dressings are gonna be hot. Now you can imagine how hot I would look wearing one of her party dresses.
I don’t care if the weather is cold or if it’s going to get cold as the night gets late, I’m wearing a short gown with just two ropes tying the gown to my body from my neck. Yes, my back is f*****g open and the length of my dress is on the tip of my thighs.
I’m set to mess up tonight. I should be scared because it was the Quad's party I’m going to, but I don’t feel that fear anymore. All I feel is burning rage! f*****g burning rage that they won’t believe I didn’t do that! Burning rage my dad’s best friend is a real bastard for real!
I’m pulling over at the parking lot in front of the Quad's mansion. From this mile, I can hear the music f*****g loud. No cops are even going to stop them because they are f*****g rich and they control this city.
So if anything should happen tonight, no cops will be here and nobody can easily detect them because they would be kept busy with this loud music.
“ I’m getting out first.” Ella quickly says, holding her phone tightly and fixing her eyes closed as she types away. She gets out of the car before I even respond. What a cousin I have.
She gets down, rounding the car to the other side. I see her red pant showing from under the dress. It’s so short that I could vividly see the colour of her pant.
Well, mine is not any better.
It’s a party anyway and I’m here to get out of my frustration. I want to have a little fun, the last time I drank and have so much fun was two months ago before the summer break.
Ella hasn’t gone too far, I can still see her back but she’s answering a call, I wonder who she must be talking to. I take off the seat belt, sigh and take a deep breath. Now I’m f*****g alone at this party, Ella left me.
I want to know if Ava knows about this party and if she’s here, so I text her.
*Elena Deloris*: Best friend, do you know about the Quads party?
She quickly sees my message and she’s texting back a reply now.
*Ava Marcus*: Do you know about it? I’m there Elen.
I pause. Oh wow, she didn’t even let me know. Well, maybe she thought I would be too tired or scared to come to the party.
I text back.
*Elena Delaris*: Where are you? I’m there too. But still at the parking lot.
She reads quickly.
*Ava Marcus*: Hey, I’m pulling over as well. I think I can see your car.
I didn’t text back.
I quickly hop out of the car so I can find her. Her car is the latest Ferrari and it’s a rare colour for a girl. It’s ash. Mine was a gift from my dad two years ago before he died. He gave me a pink Lamborghini before he left me.
Maybe it’s a way to apologise to me before leaving but I didn’t understand then. I thought it was a birthday gift, I didn’t know it was a goodbye apology. No, I won’t cry anymore.
I’m trying not to cry anymore tonight. I wipe the tears from my cheek hastily as I wave at Ava’s car. She packs next to a white car and I think that car belongs to Riley. The cheerleader.
“ Elena, did you come? Do you feel better? Ain’t you scared you are in your enemy's deadly zone?” she furrows her brow. I understood her concern for me, but tonight I don’t think I’m scared of anything.
The little strength in me it’s left to drink off my life. Thanks to Avera.
I don’t say a reply, I fall to her shoulder for some hugs while I let out the cry I’ve been holding in since I was with Ella.
She stumbles a little back as she catches me.
“ What is wrong Elena?” I hear her troubled voice.
“ Ava..” I’m crying, I can’t force out the words from my lips. It’s quivering and my heart still bleeds. I cry out for a while, reflecting on everything horrible that’s been happening to me. The Quad's torture is even yet to come.
This is a secret I will keep to myself. I won’t tell anybody, but I know I would continue to feel the pain because I’m not speaking up. And I won’t.
“ I just wanted to let it out,” I pull out of her hold wiping my eyes. Ava is someone I can cry to, I can’t even do that to my cousin, now that I have let it out I feel a little relieved.
“ Can we go in now? I’m not scared, Ava. Trust me.” I say out trying to be strong on the outside, while I’m breaking down on the inside.
“ Alright. I’m here for you Elena.” Ava rubs my open back smoothly.
As we step into the mansion, the house is almost full of students but I don’t see the Quads yet and I don’t see my so-called cousin. She might be somewhere around I’m sure, but I don’t have the strength to be looking around for her. When she needs me, she would find me.
The true Alpha is the Quad's father and he’s f*****g a billionaire. He travels everywhere along with his mate, which gives answers to the reason they are not here tonight.
The Quads are soon to be Alphas, by the time they are done with their senior year they would take over completely. For now, they are just the Arrogant-rich Quads.
I’m here to drink out my frustration as I said. I walk out of Ava who is talking with someone. I’m heading to the kitchen to find myself a glass and pour a drink for myself. Then I saw Riley.
She’s mixing a drink and I think it’s for herself. She first scoffs at me, then opens her lips to speak.
“ You are here? Enjoy the party, Elena.” she winks and walks past me.
This is strange, she didn’t argue or curse at me like I expected or like she always does, but she say nothing more and went her way upstairs with her drink.
My legs want to start shaking but I’m trying to be strong to keep my two legs stable on the floor. I’m at my enemy’s dead zone and I shouldn’t expect some peace here.
