Destiny's pov

I was in the library with Pete doing our homework.

Why in hell? Why does me going to the party depend on Pete going too? Why Pete butting in? I know he means good, he wants to protect me but it's just annoying. Like I know she do some stupid stuff but that didn't mean being her friend will make me do the same.

And that Marco could have said no, why in hell making Pete decide? Now I am mad at Pete and Marco both.

" Desty? Did you finish this quiz?"

Yeah, I finished them and I won't give you to copy them. Work your ass.

I ignored him, collected all my things and went to my room

I put all my essentials in my bag for tomorrow and I took out my uniform so I won't be searching for it like crazy in the morning. I looked at my clothes and saw that stunning dress that I wanted to wear in the party.

I wanted so much to go to the party. I wanna be cool for once, not the boring person they said I am.

I will go whether they like it or not. I will sneak out.

Like I will feel guilty for sneaking out and disobeying Marc but he didn't leave me any other choices. It's not that dangerous, everything will be fine.

I will just act all normal and when they go to bed, I will make it out. Good that I have a license so I can drive myself. No fuck! I can't! I will call an Uber. The guards will tell them if any of our cars left the house.

" Destiny!" I heard Dad calling me

" Yes daddy." I said going down the stairs

" My babe! I missed you!" He opened his arms for me

I ran into his arms. " Missed you a lot too."

" How is my girl? How was your day?" He kissed my forehead and cheeks and pulled me with him to the living room

" Nothing special, went to school, did my homework with that rat in the library.. You, daddy, how was your day?"

" It was tiring, so much work and then I had the best time helping your mom for the preparation of her Mark inauguration."

" Oh that looks exhausting. Do you want me to do anything for you like a sandwich or a massage?"

" You are my princess, you don't have to do anything for me, I just want your company." He smiled as he patted my head

" Love you dad." I said and kissed his cheeks

" I love you too." He cooed as he pulled me to his chest. " So how is Miles?"

" Yeah great it's been a while since we saw each other out of school though I miss him a little but why are you asking?"

" Ofc I will ask to know if there's something off so I can kill him." He smiled humorless

" Come on, dad, he is Lev's brother after all." I said chuckling

It's funny how they get all serious and scary about me dating Miles

" I still don't get shit if he hurts you. I will knock his neck."

" I get it dad but don't worry he really is a good person " I said smiling at him no need for him to worry

" Hmm let's see that, no sex before you marry. I want you to have it with the right person and at the right time."

" What? Even if I am 18?"

" Nope. Make everything special for yourself. Value yourself. Like when you experience it before you will ruin the right experience with the right person and in the right time because you will be comparing him with the others and you won't enjoy it."

" Okay. I will think about it." I said, mocking him.

It's funny seeing him in his protective mood.

" Don't think. Do that or I'll castrate whoever you date."

" Oh, you are serious then will try not to have any sex before marrying Miles." I smiled innocently

He laughed," Good job. Hope Miles will be the one for you."

" Hope so!" My eyes sparkled.

I missed him. I'll call him later.

" Hey, Domy." Marco said as he entered the living room

" Hey, Rudy!" Daddy said like he is giving a nickname for the adjective rude.

" Am I invisible?" I said trying to act normal. I can't deny I felt a bit guilty but no it doesn't matter l won't drink or do anything extremely out of line will just have some fun

" No, ofc you are visible, cutie, but I haven't seen dad since the morning and you were with me a few minutes ago." He leaned and kissed my head," So Domy, hungry?"

" Starving, Rudy!"

" I like how you two use the cutest Nicknames." I said giggling

He ruffled my hair, " That's to see how much I love my daddy. Dest, hungry, love?"

Dad just gave him an unamused look.

I giggled more at how sarcastic his response was, " Yeah I am bubba."

" Perfect! And where is my troublemaker?"

He means Pete!

" He is still on his homework."

" Okay, I'll go check him and call him for dinner." Daddy said as he stood up

" Yeah, go, where's Sierra by the way?" Cole asked

" Hmm, you started asking about Sierra now? I see! She's on her way."

" Then I'll prepare the dinner, she must be hungry too and definitely drained out."

" Indeed." Dad smiled warmly at Marc and he pulled him into a head look," So proud of you, rudy!"

" Okay, now let go old man, I don't wanna fight!"

" Ohh is daddy's boy forgetting from whom he learned his moves? Should we revise that?" Daddy smirked

" No, dad!"

" That's what I thought!" He let go of Marc as left the living room after he made sure that he planted a kiss on Cole's forehead.

" Fuck! That old man is still strong! What a Domy!" He mumbled as he smirked at himself

I giggled at how wholesome a moment that my eyes have just witnessed.

I was helping Marc in the kitchen. Peter and Dad came in shortly.

Peter glared at me and asked," Wanna hand?"

" Nope, you are treated tonight." Marc answered him

Pete smiled widely," Can you be any lovelier?"

" I guess I can't." Marc smacked his butt as he walked past him to get something from the fridge

Peter glared and punched Marc's back," For real you can't, jerk."

" Kid, if I were in your place I would apologize for this." Marc chuckled

" That's you, not me." Pete smirked

We set the table with our Dad's help When mom opened the door and walked inside. " I am home."

" Mommy!" Pete hugged her immediately

She kissed him many times and exchanged questions about their days then they pulled away and I took my turn.

" Marco, you made this? Thank you honey, really sweet of you."

" No problem, sit, I'll serve you."

" Enough bothering yourself I'll do that."

" C'mon Sierra, it's not a big deal. Rest for once."

" Okay, honey." She chuckled

" Such a sweet wife ignored her husband." Dad sighed dramatically

" I didn't." She pulled his face and kissed his lips as he shared the kiss too.

We all sat around the table after washing our hands and we dug in. The dinner was amazing! Mark is a great cook!

After dinner, we sat in the living room chatting and joking till mom and dad excused themselves to go to sleep.

" Then Pete, Dest your rooms."

Pete was on his phone playing. " But I am not sleepy."

" You have school tomorrow. C'mon get moving."

I smiled at Marc and pretended to yawn," Yeah, night bubba, night Pete."

" Night bunny, Cole please just 30 minutes."

" Not even a second more."

I walked upstairs leaving them arguing. I heard some footsteps then a door getting shut gently, I assume it's Cole's. He took Pete to sleep with him just amazing!

Pete will cuddle him and won't let him get out of the bed then Pete's room is the best as I can sneak out from there. No no I'll take the kitchen's side door... Better!

After wearing that beautiful green dress and doing both my hair and a little bit of makeup. I tried my best to walk to the kitchen door without making any noise and I did that successfully. I paid the uber and now I am standing in front of Harper's house.

I could hear the music before I even entered. I became more excited.

I got in. The party is just so fucking awesome; I can see all people are dancing, shouting, singing along with the music, there is also a long table containing all type of alcoholic drinks which didn't interest me.

" Harper." I shouted while waving at her

" Dest." She called, waving back.

She walked to me and we shared a hug then she said, " Get in! Let's party together."

" Yeah, let's go." I said excited

We went to what I think is supposed to be the living room and all the people here were enjoying their time. Some were totally out of concessions with all the drinks they took, others were standing at the corner looking kinda creepy and exchanging something in a small bag which I assume was drugs. There were a lot of boys and girls kissing.

I saw Harper pouring some drink which I assume is vodka in two cups.

" Tried before?" She asked

" No I didn't." I answered with a small smile

" Oh, you missed a lot of fun that way Dest." She said, smiling and offering me one of the cups with the vodka

" No, thanks. I don't think I will be able to take it without being dizzy." I tried being polite and friendly as much as I can

" Come on, one small cup won't kill you and you will have a lot of fun."

" Okay, but only one cup." I took the cup from her and acted as if I was drinking, then when she was going to pour herself another I threw it in the basket. " Let's go dance with the others." I suggested

I don't want to miss all the fun here

" Yeah, let's go." She said

Both of us went and started dancing with all the other people from our school. It was so fun I left myself to the music and didn't do anything else, just dancing and singing, having the most fun of my life.

Suddenly I felt my waist being pulled and immediately I crashed into a boy as he smiled at me and danced. " You are hell gorgeous." He flirted

" T-thanks but I have a boyfriend and I am not comfortable with you touching me." I said, trying to push his hands away from my waist

" Sorry, didn't mean to, just you made me go mad, I have a crush on you." He get closer to me and whispered

" Can you leave some space please?" I said, trying to push him but he is too strong

Well, hope he won't regret it. I took a deep breath to calm myself. I shot him a sharp glare.

" Ofc, honey. Your boyfriend is so stupid to let you go alone." He stepped aside

I felt relieved that he left and I didn't have to kick his ass. I needed to tidy my hair a little so I went to ask Harper for the toilet but she was totally out of it and couldn't even stand straight so I just tried figuring it out myself.

I saw a small door in the left corner and it had a paper saying ' WC '. I opened the door and was stunned by seeing a boy and a girl naked, making out.

" Sorry." I said quickly even though I know they didn't notice me and closed the door feeling like I will throw up.

Suddenly I felt a little dizzy and it was like there wasn't any air in the house so I went outside to rest a little in the fresh air

" Dest? Are you okay?" Harper asked me as she smiled like a fool

" Yeah, just dizzy, nothing much. I will go drink some water." I said and entered again

After drinking I felt better and went to complete dancing with my friends from the theater club.

" All the boys here were amazed by you. Let's get in and make them die more." She came again and put her arm around me. She was reeking of alcohol.

" Thanks a lot, I just want to dance and have fun."

I don't want boys to do anything with me

" Just come with me." She dragged me with her till we were standing in the middle of dancing flour

" This is Adam." She introduced me to the boy that grabbed me from my waist earlier

He looked at us and said, " Yeah we've already met before but she said she has a boyfriend and doesn't want us to have any fun." He said with a smirk on his face

" What does having a boyfriend have to do with you having fun today, Dest?" She rolled her eyes and chuckled," He is not here! And you are the Queen of this night, enjoy yourself."

" Nothing, I just don't want to cheat on him and I don't want to have sex with someone I just meet." I said annoyed and making everything clear to them

" There is no way Miles will know about you and Adam, Desty." She rolled her eyes again

" As you are so considerate and you so wanna cheer him tonight, fuck with him, yourself. Why me?" I sassed then smiled, " Now excuse me, I will go dance with the others while you both can have fun with each other."

I was annoyed about how much Harper is pushing me to all those stuff drinking, sex, and cheating. I am here just to enjoy my time not to fuck up. If she tries again we will carry the night without her around.

" Destiny! Hey, I am sorry." The boy pulled my arm

" Yeah, keep your apology to yourself. I don't want it."

" Julie, Hanna." I called my other friends from the theater club

I saw both of them dancing and having fun.

" Dest!" Hannah shouted back as she was the one who noticed me first

" I need to go, my friends are waiting for me." I said to Adam

" Wait, please, I didn't know that you are Miles' girlfriend. I am sorry." He said

I really don't give a damn, just don't show me your face again or I will draw a map on it. I just ignored him, controlling myself and went to my friends and started dancing and chatting with them. It was so fun and exciting and both of them were nice.

Suddenly, I felt my arm being pulled aggressively.

" Hey, don't you understand English?" I spat out angrily, thinking it was Adam.

" I think you are the person who doesn't understand English, Destiny Sidrov Carnell." His tone screamed danger.

" Marc l-l.. " I couldn't say anything, I was super stunned and scared.

He looked so murderous and the way he spoke to me just sent me shivers all over my body. He used my full name. He never did that before!

" I didn't mean it, sorry." I whispered

What will he do? Is he not going to talk to me anymore? Will he tell dad? My eyes started to water and my legs started to shake.

" C'mon on, pull your shits together, we are going home and I'll make you regret it." He whispered darkly as his voice laced with fury.

I was terrified. He was never that harsh and what does he mean by 'will make me regret it'?

" Get moving!" He pushed me lightly ahead

I sprinted, trying to catch up with his fast steps and didn't say a word. I didn't want him to be angrier.

He unlocked the car and got in the driver seat. I opened the door and sat in the back seat. It's petrifying.

The ride was silent. I didn't dare to talk. He looked so mad despite trying his best to calm down but obviously he failed because he was visibly fuming, with the way he gripped the steering wheel. His face controlled with rage as his jaw clenched and his eyes sent me hostile glares from time to time.

I couldn't stop being anxious too. I don't want him or dad and mom or even Nick and Diana to be disappointed in me or hate me or to stop talking to me even Pete won't protect me now.

" B-Bubba." I whispered

I couldn't take it any more. I feel so guilty and shameful.

" No word ahead!" He said harshly as sped up to the house

Those words hit me hard in my heart like a bullet. I swear I won't disobey him ever again but please talk to me. Don't hate me, please.

He parked the car in the parking lot and said," Straight to your room and change your clothes."

" Okay." I whispered

I walked as fast as I could. I don't want to anger him more

I changed my clothes, washed my face and waited nervously. I don't know what I am supposed to do. Should I go talk and apologize to him or should I go to sleep? Yeah, let's go to sleep. That's better he is already angry and I am scared to face him.

" Destiny, can I get in?" He asked as he knocked the door

" Y-yes." I answered surprised he doesn't look that angry

Maybe he won't hate me and if I promise to not disobey him and apologized everything will be fine

He came in and sat on the chair, gazing at me for a minute then said," I can't believe you, Destiny?"

" Sorry I... I just wanted to have a little fun. I won't disobey you again, sorry." I said it too fast

I was so nervous. I never disobeyed him like that.

" Don't say shit!" He said as he slammed his fist on my desk

I flinched.

" What was in your mind? Why? What is the problem with not attending the party? What made you think that's a good idea to go behind my back? I was so friendly right that I made you feel it's okay to fool me?"

" No, it's just that I wanted to look cool once in front of my friends and have some fun without being glued to Pete. I swear I didn't drink or take any drugs or did anything out of line. I just danced. I didn't want to disobey you."

He raised his eyebrows at me. " And now do you feel cool after disobeying me? Congratulations! You had your fun and broke my trust in you." He chuckled

" No, I am sorry. I don't mean to break your trust. I swear it's only one time, I won't do it again, please." My eyes watered.

I know he will stop talking and will hate me now. I shouldn't been that stupid and went to the party. He is going to hate me and abound me now.

" One time isn't an excuse, wanting to have fun isn't an excuse, wanting to be cool isn't an excuse, wanting teens around isn't an excuse. You didn't mean to do shit is bullshit and isn't an excuse." He scolded harshly

I flinched. I was so scared I didn't know what to do.

" Sorry." I said in a low voice that was the only thing that I forced myself to say .

My heart was beating so fast, my hands were sweating. And I felt a pit forming in my stomach. I don't know what I should do for him to forgive me.

" You know what I would have done if Peter did that?" He asked

I stopped breathing for a moment. My eyes were wide open. No, he can't.. He can never do it... I disappointed him to that extent? Does he mean spanking? Of course, no. Yeah, he means grounding. Yeah, that makes more sense.

" Ground him?" I asked

" Spank him, Destiny!" He said firmly

" What? But I.. No you can't.. It's n-not... P-please-"

That's when I broke down in tears. He can't! I didn't mean to make him disappointed. Now, he is going to hit me and hate me. I don't mean for all that to happen. I-I can't breath, my heart hurts, my legs are shaking, I don't want him to hate me or hit me.

He walked to me and held my hands in one of his hands while he started caressing my cheek with the other.

" Shh Desty don't cry, honey."

" Then don't do it please. I swear I won't disobey you again and won't ever go to any party or any outing without your permission but please no I am sorry I promise I will be good."

He looked hard into my eyes and said," Destiny, listen you scared me hell. You endangered yourself by going there. It wasn't safe there, the police could have come any time. They could have done anything to you, you weren't around good people, I saw them. They all sucks."

" But s-some were my friends a-and I am so sorry for scaring you buy n-no please I don't want to. I am sorry so sorry I swear I won't disobey you again." I was fully sobbing by now

" Shh Desty! Ugh, God!" He sat next to me and hugged me tightly," Everything will be fine, I swear. Do you trust me?"

" Y-yes I do." I said sniffling trying to calm down and take all the comfort I can' from his hug

" Then don't be this scared, well it's your right to be, but I am your brother. I love you more than you think and I will never hurt you or do something extreme. I love you so much princess." He kissed my hair then my
