Some days later.

"Uhh.. Eliza?" I asked, trying to gain her attention. I was hanging out with her. She insisted she wanted to spend some time with me.

"Yeah?" She asked, turning to look at me from the counter of her kitchen.

"You work for the mafia?" She nodded.

"That means you're the mafia doctor?" I asked. She nodded again.

"You can access medical information anytime? Like someone's death or something."

"Yeah." She furrowed her eyebrows. "Why are you asking?"

"I need some information." I shifted closer to her. "Promise me, you won't tell anyone." I said, in a whisper. She frowned but nodded.

"I won't tell anyone." She said.

"Not even Lorenzo." I said. She looked at me weirdly.

"What are you planning to do?" She asked.

"Just say you won't tell him." I hissed.

"I can't hide it from him, if it is something that may hurt you or put your life in danger." She said, crossing her arms.

"Its not. I just want some information." I said.

"Fine. I won't tell anyone. Not even Lorenzo." She said.

"I want to know if there's someone related to Daniel in the records. Alive or dead." I said. Her eyes widened.

"I can get the information for you." She said. "Didn't Lorenzo collect information about him?"

"He did. But many things are missing." I said.

"The person who was assigned that work, just asked me to look through the system if someone related to Daniel was alive. He didn't ask for information about their deaths. I didn't have his DNA sample, so it was useless." She bit her lip. I got the plastic bag out of my pocket. It had Daniel's hair in it.

"Wow." Eliza said in disbelief while looking at the green strands of hair in the bag.

I know. I came prepared.

"I managed to get them when we met at big bro's house." I said. "I want information about all his relatives. Including those who are dead or murdered."

"Murdered?" She asked with wide eyes.

I nodded.
"He's an assassin. Its a possibility someone related to him was murdered or something." I said.

She nodded.
"Okay. I'll be as fast as I can. It'll take six hours minimum. You handle the kitchen, I'll go get my computer." She said, before running out.

I trusted her with something so important. I hope its worth it.

Eliza came back to have lunch before disappearing into a room again. I just layed down on the couch and watched TV till I drifted off.

--------------

"Amelia. Amelia." I heard someone say as my eyes fluttered open. Eliza stood before me, shaking me awake.

"Come." She said pulling me to stand up and dragging me to the kitchen. Her laptop was on the counter.

I took a seat beside her.

"Did you find something?" I asked as my eyes scanned the screen.

"According to the records, his parents are dead. He has no siblings. His Grandparents, from both sides are dead. He has an uncle from his fathers side. He has a family and children and lives in Australia." She told me. I just nodded.

"We live in an illegal world, Amelia." She said as my ears perked up. "If any of his relatives were murdered, the information is not found in the system. Its just available to the people related to illegal things. I can access them."

"I have those records too. But there's no one in there." She said. I furrowed my eyebrows.

His sister's death is not in the normal records, not in the illegal records, how could they simply erase her from the world?

"But there's a possibility." Eliza said. "Information about murders can be hidden from the criminal world too. That happens if you are too powerful. Powerful people like Lorenzo can hide their crimes easily."

So, that means his sister was killed by someone very powerful in the criminal world.

I'm going to find that person and kill them.

"What happened? What are you thinking?" Eliza snapped her fingers before my face.

"Nothing." I mumbled. "Thanks for your help, Eliza." I said, getting up. "I should go now."

---------------

I was currently walking through the school corridors. Its been two weeks since I got the small but important information about Diana.

Josh didn't come to school for a week after the date. I tried contacting him but he didn't pick up my calls or reply to my messages. When he was finally back, he was normal, like he didn't ignore me for a whole week, just after our first date. I let it slide this once.

We had a great time in the past week. He has been so sweet, the whole week. Hanging out with me, goofing around.

We are in a proper relationship where I can call him my boyfriend openly. We spent time together and we almost kissed again, but I pulled away. I just can't get myself to do it. I'm not ready I guess. I knew Josh was getting irritated now.

I saw Josh entering the building. I went up to him, like always, greeted him and hugged him. He shoved me away roughly before looking at me. The scowl he had on his face vanished and he stared at me blankly.

"Good morning to you too, Amelia." He forced a smile before looking me up and down. "Can't you wear something beautiful someday, like a dress or something or shorts?" He asked, with a slight look of disgust on his face, a judgemental look in his eyes.

I just gaped at him.
What did he say?

He smiled and walked towards his classroom. I gained my composure and walked to mine, deep in thought.

This is so not like him. He was so sweet before. I think he's just in a bad mood.

The day went by peacefully. My 'boyfriend' kept ignoring me the whole day.

I was sitting in the cafeteria with everyone talking and fooling around. I kept silent.

Am I the problem?

Did I do something?

Is it because I don't let him touch me?

Was he acting the whole time and was just disgusted by me?

"Amelia." I snapped out of my thoughts when Daniel called my name.

"Yeah?" I asked, looking at him. I saw the whole table staring at me.

"What happened?" Daniel asked, concern evident on his face. I shook my head.

"Nothing." I said and smiled.

"You are sad." Jace mumbled.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Josh burning holes into my head.

This is a matter between me and Josh. I can't tell them.

"Aww, is the baby sad?" Ashton asked grabbing my upper arm and pulling me into him so I was half laying on him. He patted my head and hugged me close.

"Ugh. Leave me alone, bitch. You smell." I gritted out. Ashton chuckled.

Although he was acting like he was mocking me, but it seemed that deep down he knew something was wrong and bothering me. He knew I needed a hug.

He slowly shifted me, so I was now sitting in his lap and kept hugging me. I heard many chuckles and aww's.

"A badass baby, may I add." One of the guys said.

"Ashton!!" I whined. I will break down, if he keeps doing this.

I pushed Ashton away and got up. I sat down on my seat again, fixing my hair and glaring at him.

"Is your boyfriend treating you well?" Jace gritted, glaring at Josh, dangerously.

My breathing hitched.
"Yeah." I said, rolling my eyes.

I noticed Ashton was just paying attention to his food and ignoring everything going around him.

"Are you sure?" Daniel asked, looking me in the eyes.

"Yes, Daniel." I huffed.

"Good. Because I'm gonna kill him, if he even looks at you the wrong way." Ashton said, threateningly, before turning to Josh.

"She's the Princess. Remember that. She is to be respected." He warned Josh, who just nodded, looking like a deer caught in headlights.

Bitch, you never respect me. In fact, all of you, treat me like a baby.

"It's fine, Ashton. I can protect myself." I said, putting my hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah. I know." He said, turning to me and pulling me into a side-hug, protectively.

He looked worried and a little scared. He's always tried to protect me. Once, when we were kids, he swore, he'll be my bodyguard, forever. I don't think it matters, but he never broke the promise. He never left me, when I needed help.

I smiled at Ashton. My mood was a lot better now.

We joked and chatted during the lunchtime. Daniel and Ashton lifted my mood.

----------------

The bell rang, signalling the end of the day. I walked out slowly, deep in thought, like I had been all day. Students were filing out of the building quickly. The building was almost empty when someone grabbed my arm and shoved me into the wall.

I looked up angrily and my eyes met angry green ones. It was Josh. A very angry Josh. He glared at me as he pinned me against the wall.

"Can you stop whoring around with guys?" He asked as I looked at him in disbelief.

"THE FUCK?" I yelled, anger surging inside me.

"You are in a relationship, now. You need to stop being the slut you are and stay away from Ashton Garcia and that freak, whatever his name is." He gritted.

I swear I felt a vein pop up in my temple. What he said next, made me lose my cool. He used the f-word for Daniel.

"Fucking whore." He spat harshly. I was frozen on spot. I couldn't control my anger now. I glared at him.

"HOW DARE YOU CALL ME AND MY BEST FRIENDS, NAMES? YOU BITCH."  I yelled.

"HOW AM I A SLUT, WHEN YOU ARE GOING OFF WHORING AROUND WITH GIRLS, KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?" I yelled. I took deep breaths to calm down.

"You ignored me for a week. Then you just waddled back, like you did nothing."

"Then, Today, you started being so rude and ignored me again. Then you have the audacity to yell at me, tell me what I can and can't do, control who I talk to and talk shit about my friends?" I said in a dangerously low tone, stepping closer threateningly. Josh's glare intensified.

"I was too dumb to rush it. Now I know, you're not serious and you're just playing with me, like you do with your other toys." I gritted as I felt something heavy settle in my stomach and my chest tightened.

"You are not gonna get away with it, motherfucker." I gritted.

Before I could even blink, I felt a sting on my cheek and my face flew to the side. He just slapped me across the face.

That was it for me. My eyes became glossy with tears of anger and sadness. Anger mostly. My hands twitched and the killer inside me started coming out.

My fist came in contact with his nose as he fell back. I kicked his knee as he clutched it and groaned in pain. I grabbed his right hand, which he used to hit me. Listening to the satisfying crack, I broke his arm and kicked him hard in his ribs, hearing another crack. I stomped on his right hand as he yelled in pain. Hearing another crack, I backed away.

I got control of myself and stepped back, looking at what I did.

I was getting the urge to kill right now. I wanted to torture him and show him what hell looks like. I want to use my bestie on him, but I fear, I may go too far.

"I'm sick of people thinking I'll live how they want me to and let them hit me and walk all over me anytime they want." I spat, still breathless, from my outburst.

I heard slow footsteps behind me.

I spun around only to be met with a very angry Daniel.

Oh God.

-----------------

We can finally throw Josh away. I hate him.
😤

Stay safe and happy.

Hope y'all get a Roman in your life.

Or Willeo?
(If you know who I'm referring to.)
