That's the blonde girl from before, the bitch that glared at me. My body tensed up and I stumbled from shock bumping into a guy. "Ah, sorry." I anxiously apologies as I quickly walk towards Selena, yanking her outside.

"Whats the matter? You seem disturbed. Is it because of the gun that went off?"

"Shit!" I yell as I kick a small rock from the cement street. "He's in a relationship, and has been cheating on her with me. He's been lying to me." I gag as my stomach flips upside down.

"Hey, it's gonna be okay." She walks me over to the limo and tells the driver to drop us off at the house. "I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding, maybe their just really good friends."

"No way, I saw the way she looked at him. That fucking asshole. I have no luck with men." I break down in tears as I drop my head on her lap. She brushes my hair with her hand, calming the uneasy feeling in my stomach, as we drive home.

"Fuck, my mascara." I whimper as I look in the hallway's mirror. "Sorry I made you come home early."

"It was boring anyway. Let's get ready for bed, meet me in the backward when you're done. You'll feel better after."

I nod my head as I walk unsteadily up the stairs. After taking a cold shower, I shiver with goosebumps as I do my night time skin care routine. I slip on a large sweatshirt and sweatpants as I run down the stairs to Selena.

Why did he invite me here if he had a girlfriend? Why didn't he just invite her? Honestly I'm the dumb one for agreeing. I knew something felt off whenever we were alone together.

"Hey, want hot chocolate?" She asks, sitting comfortably in a bean bag.

"No." I cuddle up next to her as she kisses my head.

"It's a pretty starry night." She looks up at the sky.

"Whatever." The front door opens and the twins and parents tumble in, completely drunk.

"Kate! Where did you go?" She wobbles to us, holding a bottle of liquor in her hand.

"You are so drunk!" Selena laughs as Isabella falls on top of us.

"If you throw up don't do it here." Alex jogs towards us.

"Can I talk to you?"

"Yea, sure." I take his hand and we sit in the back of the yard where it's quiet.

"Why did Val ask me to come here?"

"He likes you."

"But I mean doesn't he like someone else?"

"Are you kidding?" He starts laughing. "Val is utterly infatuated by you. Since the first time he laid eyes on you he knew you were the one for him. He even has a picture of you in his wallet that he always looks at. I mean like 10 to 20 times a day no matter the time or place. You really changed him. He used to be cold and rude to everyone and would fuck different girls every night not giving a shit, but he was love-struck by you. He stopped fucking around since he has a soft spot for you."

My eyes widen and my mouth drops "Really?"

He sincerely looks at me in the eyes and takes my hand. "He didn't want to do anything sexual with you because you were special to him and he didn't know how to treat a girl he likes since you're his first. He didn't want your relationship to be the same as the girls he had in his past."

My heart accelerates as I try to wrap my head around everything. I didn't know that's how he felt. I was only mad at him because I felt he wasn't being honest with me about some things. I hate cheaters whether it's cheating with me or on me. But I guess I've been too scared to admit my true feelings towards him.

"Thanks Alex!" I kiss his cheek as I run over to Selena.

"You seem happy. Did the blonde girl drama get cleared up?"

"Fuck! I forgot to ask about her." I smack my forehead with my hand. I run over into the house as I look for Val wanting to talk to him. I see him with Maria as his hand was on the blonde bitches shoulder.

I freeze as my brain turns to mush. I couldn't hear what they were saying but they were laughing while he kissed her head. What?! Why is she here? I thought he liked me. Did Alex lie?

I stomp up the stairs and I run to the bathroom, locking the door behind me. I open the drawer as a tear runs down my cheek.

That bitch! snip

That fucking liar! snip

That cheater! snip

I hate men! snip

All they do is fuck you and then break your heart! snip

They pretend to love you and then throw you away once they get bored! snip

I fall on my knees as I bring my shaking hands to my face. Why did he have to break me down even more. I was already broken because of my family and Cole. I lay my head down on the cold marble floor as I wipe my runny nose with my sleeve. I thought he'd be different...

"Kate, wake up."

Big hands grab my shoulders and gently shake me.

"Wake the fuck up!"

I slightly open my eyes, seeing a big figure bent over me, I frown. It was a face I never wanted to see again.

"What do you want Val?" I say angrily.

"You're eyes are red and puffy, and your hair..." He looks at me with a worried expression. I stand up, glancing at myself in the mirror. My long hair was gone. I get closer to the mirror as I touch my shoulder length hair.

"Wow." I gasp at how different I look. I didn't care whether it was a good or bad thing so I shrug my shoulders and picked up the cut hair off the floor. I had grown my hair out for years and it meant a lot to me. Funny how one person can ruin everything.

"Why did you do that, more importantly why were you sleeping in the bathroom?"

"Like it's any of your business." I glare at him, throwing the hair in the trash as I stretch out my sore back from laying on the hard cold floor.

"It's 100% my business, what's the matter?" He grabs my hand but I yank it away.

"Don't touch me!" I run out of the bathroom and I grab my purse but he grabs my waist before I could get outside the bedroom. "I said don't touch me!" I yell as I try to get away.

"Kate, calm down. Tell me whats wrong." He tightens his grip but freezes as I swing the knife I took out of my purse at his chest. "Fuck!" He looks down at the deep cut as it starts dripping blood on his shirt.

"Oh." I didn't want to actually cut him. "Let's go to a hospital." I say frantically.

"No, that doesn't matter right now. Tell me whats wrong. I'm worried about you." He drops to his knees, gently holding my hand.

"B-But you're seriously bleeding really bad." The front of his white shirt had turned completely red, but it seemed like he could care less about it.

"What happened, why did you have a breakdown?" He calmly asks with a reflection of saddened pain in his eyes.

"I-I'll to tell you once we get you to a hospital." I hesitate.

"Promise?" He gazes at me like I'm the only one in his world.

"Yes, I promise."

"Go to Alex, he'll take care of it." I nod my head and I drop the knife as I run to Alex's room through the dark hallway. I knock on the door a couple times before he opens it, shirtless.

"I, uh." I stutter as my eyes widen from the sight of the blonde girl naked in his bed. I shake my head trying to sort through priorities. I'll focus on that later. "Val's injured."

"What?!" He follows me as I run to his room. "Val what happened?" He says as he rushes to him.

"Nothing, you know who to call, tell them to come here right away."

He nods his head and runs out the room.

"What about a hospital?"

"Amore, people like us can't go to hospitals. We have to go to underground hospitals where criminal surgeons operate on us, but we don't have time for that. Can you help me get on the bed?"

"Okay." He leans on me as I walk towards the bed. I grab an extra pillow and I lift his head as I put it underneath. "You comfy?"

"Yea." He chuckles. "Don't look so worried, this is nothing compared to the other injuries I've gone through. I heal fast." I sit next to him on the bed as I sigh. Soon after, the door swings open and a woman with curly hair and glasses runs in.

"Ancora? È meglio che sia l'ultima volta che vengo chiamato per uno dei tuoi infortuni." She rolls her eyes as she takes out gloves and medical equipment.

"What did she say?"

"She said this better be the last time she has to come over for one of his injuries." Alex says.

I tilt my head in curiosity.

"She gets called over often because this dumbass is always getting shot or hurt." He chuckles. "We should leave them be until she's done." He motions for me to come with his head as I get up.

"You'll come back after, right?" Val says desperately.

"Yea." I walk out with Alex and towards the kitchen.

"You hungry? I can make you something."

"No, I lost my appetite." I sigh, sitting on one of the chairs. "Where is everyone?"

"Sleeping, everyone went to bed. So what happened?"

"I cut him."

"Damn, you're a feisty one!"

"No, I didn't mean to. It's just that I was mad at him."

"Because of your haircut? Why were you guys doing that this late at night? A fetish?"

"No way, I wouldn't cut him over something like that. It's because of the blonde girl."

"Aurora? His sister?"

"His what!?" I bolt up from the chair as my mouth drops open.

"His younger sister... She was at the party tonight." He says confused.

"Fuck, I'm such an idiot." I bang my forehead against the table, wanting to disappear from the world. I should apologize to him. "So... what you told me earlier was true?"

"Completely, I bet he's looking at your picture right now."

"Really?" A smirk appears on my face. Without having to say a word, we race up the stairs and into Val's bedroom. He jumps from shock with a startled face as he quickly hides a photo under his back. Alex and I look at each other with a smile.

"Told yea!" He whispers. "Are the stitches done?"

"Yea, can you escort her downstairs, grazie Camilla." He smiles at her as she and Alex walk out. He pats his lap beaming at me and I sit between his legs. We sit in a comfortable silence as he wraps his arms around me.

"I'm so sorry Val." I finally say, looking up at him.

"It doesn't hurt." He says honestly, stroking my short hair.

"Not about that, about Aurora." He looks at me confused. "I saw you two getting close, so I thought she was your girlfriend."

He bursts out laughing. "You were jealous?" He grins.

"Shut up." I mutter. "Okay, yea fine I was. I had a total mental break down."

"Aw, amore. I like your hair like this." He kisses the top of my head. "It's easier to kiss your neck now." He whispers in my ear as my cheeks heat up.

"So what's up with your sister and Alex?" I ask, trying to change the subject.

"They fuck each other." He says bluntly.

"Huh? That's it?"

"Yea, neither of them have confessed yet. It's so irritating watching them be shy when it comes to an actual relationship."

Why does that sound so familiar?
