Se connecterHazel POV.
After driving for a while, I started to get tired, and decided to head back, the sun had begun to set, and the sky had turned orange, in a few minutes, it would turn fully dark, and I didn't want to stay on the road the whole night.
I went back to the dorm, I only had two places to stay, my dorm, or my brother's house, the one where I grew up, back to my old room, but that would show Leo that I'm young, and weak, so I'm better off in my dorm room where the only person who can witness my misery is Alison.I parked the car and dragged myself back in, wanting to wear Alexander's hoodie again and bury myself under the blankets and wish to die, but Alison had other plans.
"So how did things turn out with Cyrus?" she asks me right away. "We broke up," I say, maybe, I think we did, he's cheating on me, so I don't think we're together anymore. "Oh...what happened if you don't mind me asking?" she asks me, respecting my boundaries, Cyrus should take notes from her. "I went over to his place so we could make up, and when I got there, his door was open, so I walked in," I began telling her what happened."Oh my god, don't tell me you caught him naked, and his dick is way too small," she says, making me smile.
"Well, not fully naked, and not fully alone either," I say, and her smile drops, she turns from the smiling, joking Alison to looking at me with shock. "Is he gay?" she asks me, still trying to soften the blow. "Cheating, with a girl, add to that, a beautiful girl, long sharp nails, blond hair, long lashes," I say, describing what I saw, the girl was my opposite."Hey, don't be like that, she pays a fortune every month on the nails and keeping the artificial blond, and I'm sure even the lashes are fake, so he's cheating with a Barbie, his loss," Alison says, making me feel a tiny bit better right away.
"Still cheating," I say with a shrug. No matter who he's cheating on with, it's still cheating. "Well, I never liked him anyway," she says, making me laugh, a saw laugh, she loved Cyrus, he's hot, he's charming, and apparently he's a cheater, but we were both taken with him."What are you doing?" Alison asks, seeing me getting changed and ready to hit the bed.
"Going to bed," I answer her.
"Nope, you're not this is your first heartbreak, it's a big thing," she says, and I just glare at her. "Are you offering to get me Ice cream so we can eat it and cry?" I ask her with a raised brow. "Nope, I'm offering that we go out, you're not going to get in bed and be depressed, we're out," she says with a smile, they've been trying to get me to join them, hence why I have asked Leo, but sadly was shut down by him. "I don't think, I should," I say, trying to come up with an excuse. "Yes, you should," she insists. "I'm only nineteen," I remind her that we're underage."Oh, sweetie, we have your fake ID ready, were just waiting for the time to get you there," she says, and I groaned, I wanted to go, so fucking badly.
"Okay, where are we going?" I ask her, praying it's not my brother's place, even if I try to blend in, they know me there, and I'm on their blacklist. "Neon Alley," she answers me. "Okay," I say, thinking about what to wear?I picked a short black dress, pairing it with red heels that extended my legs, Alison did my hair, and I did both of our makeup, going bold and dark. Three girls joined us, they are from our dorm and friends of Alison. We decided to take an Uber, better than driving, in case we get drunk, or someone wants to leave first, we can find our own way home.
We stood outside the club waiting for the bouncer to let us in, there was a whole damn line, I looked around making sure I didn't see anyone that knows me. We got to the front of the line and handed the bouncer our fake IDs, he gave us all a double look, before finally letting us in. Through the door we went, the club swallowed us whole, music slammed into me the second we walked in, lights slicing through the darkness. I stood frozen, looking, taking in the whole scene, my friends, they didn't stop for even a heartbeat, they went ahead.When Alison noticed I was falling behind, she turned back to me, and dragged me in with her, the girls did a beeline toward the bar. I didn't drink, well I drank at the uni parties, but that was cheap booze mixed with sweet juices to hide the taste.
"Cosmopolitan," Alison orders for both of us, I just nod along, whatever this is. "Can you pay? I'll pay you back, my card is under surveillance," I say. "Mine too, see Casandra here, she'll be paying for both of us, and we'll be paying her back, either that or bring cash," Alison says and I just nod, making a mental note to bring cash if I ever come here again."Drink, it'll make you forget," Alison says, and I nod, I wanted to forget, the drink was sweet, but strong at the same time, it burned my throat as it went down, but I kept drinking, enjoying it.
The next round was straight-up shots with lemon slices, those burned even worse, but after the third round, I started to feel a buzz, I felt my whole body starting to relax, and I'm enjoying my time now."Wanna dance? Let's dance!" Casandra says, pulling both Alison and me with her, I had my two friends with me, we had each other's backs, and we danced together, we kept each other company. The other two girls who came along with us, joined the dance circle soon, one of them was grinding her body so badly against Alison, they gave everyone in the club a free show.
I pulled to the side, not wanting to be part of their dance, I danced with the other girls for a bit longer, but our small circle got broken. Others decided to join us, and when I felt arms coming from behind me, I knew I was done dancing and I went back to the bar area, taking a seat on the stool.I looked at the people in the club, so this is the view my brother get daily, people having fun, dancing, going crazy, getting drunk, too bad I'm single now and I don't have anyone along with me to enjoy this moment with.
"On the house," the bartender says pouring me another shot. "Thanks," I say not expecting that. "You look like you had a rough night. Did your friends ditch you?" he asks me."Two of them are giving everyone a lesbo show, didn't even know they swing that way, while the other two sold me for two rando," I say with a sigh.
"Booze brings the best in us, cheers," he says, pouring both of us drinks now. "Wouldn't you get in troubles?" I ask, drowning my drink. "For what?" he asks me. "Giving free drinks," I say. "I get to give some for free for beautiful girls," he says, making me turn bloody red, is the bartender hitting on me, that never happened before."I got cheated on today," I say, maybe it's the alcohol in me talking, but I was opening up to a total stranger.
"Cheating on you doll? His loss," the guy says, shaking his head. "With a fake Barbie, fake nails, lashes, lips, I bet she has fake boobs too," I say, giggling. "It's always the boobs with the guys," the bartender nods, agreeing with me."He broke my heart," I say feeling tears starting to fall down my face.
"Hey! Hey! Don't start crying now you're out, you should be having fun and thinking of your revenge," he says. "Revenge," I repeat, my hazzy mind thinking of revenge, why didn't I think of that, I could tell Leo, he'd kill him, but I don't need my brother help."Yeah, hook up with someone else, post the photo, making him see," the guy says and I shake my head, that's not the type of revenge I had in mind, what I had in mind is going to hurt Cyrus directly, he doesn't give a damn if I'm with someone else, an eye for an eye. He hurt my feeling and I should hurt his, hitting the one thing that actually means anything to him.
I got up and left the club, I need to get going, I need to have my revenge, and I'm not going to stand back, I'm stronger than he thinks I am, and I'm going to teach him a lesson he'll never forget, don't mess with a Romano.Hazel POV. Wear something soft, no makeup, try to come out young, well I'm only nineteen so it's not that hard to accomplish, and I was ready in no time, I joined my brother and his bestie in the kitchen. "You look good," my brother says. "Vincent said make sure to look soft and small," I answer him. "You're always young and small in my eyes, and don't forget that, all my rules still apply Hazel, this is a one-time thing, after this day, I never want to have a call from a police station telling me my little sister did anything on the wrong side of the law, I don't want you dating anyone, you're too young for that anyway," he says so calmly. "Really, since we're on the topic, I guess after today I should be free of the babysitter," I say, meaning Alexander. "You're staying his responsibility until I can trust that you won't be doing anything stupid again," he answers me. "That hurt Leo," I say, honestly. "He trusts you Hazel, he just doesn't trust the Romano blood that's in you
Hazel POV. I woke up, got ready, got my breakfast and was ready to run out of the door to get to my university, but I was stopped by my brother coming in, still dressed in yesterday's clothes, looking more exhausted than he does usually. "Hey, rough night?" I ask him, worried. "I just had a lot of things to do, but it's over now," he answers me, not bothering to hide how bad he's looking, I was worried about him, especially with Alexander still being gone. "I can stay and look after you," I say honestly, he's my brother and he's always there for me. "No, go to your school, I'll see you this evening, you have a meeting with Vincent," he says, and I look at him, confused. "Your lawyer sister, hopefully you won't need him in the future," he says, starting to walk up to his room. "You never know, brother, I might need him for my divorce," I yell teasingly. "Yeah, on my dead body you'd date anyone," he grumbles, making me laugh, I went to my driver and let him drive me to my uni.
Hazel POV. Bored, I'm literally bored, there was nothing to do, and my brother, my dearest brother, he only comes home to sleep, he promised me that during the weekend we'll do something together, he also reminded me to eat before showering, getting dressed and leaving. Alexander was nowhere to be found, did he leave the house because I came in? I didn't have any studying to do, and I was bored with reading, I wanted to do something, anything, so I called Allison, she's always up to something, either alone or with some of the girls from the dorm, being isolated is driving me insane, I'll take prison over being locked in all day. I survived childhood with some of Leo's attention, but I'm older now and he's busy, he can't just be around and take me to the park to run wild anymore. "Alli," I whined as soon as she answered the phone. "Hello to you too," she says with the same happy voice, does this girl ever feel down? "I'm bored, I'm so bored, I'm ready to kill someone, please tell
Hazel POV. After the meeting, we stayed sitting at that table for a little longer, until Marco decided he was going to enjoy the club and moved to another table, my brother made sure to tell his girls to keep an eye on Marco. I, on the other hand, wasn't offered to enjoy the club, I was dragged home to sleep by Alexander, I wanted to ask, I wanted to know more about this meeting I have just witnessed. "You saw nothing Hazel, you heard nothing, and you know nothing," Alexander states in the car, I knew my role, I knew that I heard nothing, I wasn't even there. "It was scary," I confess, my heart still beating like crazy. "It went well," Alexander says. "Well? Is that how things usually go?" I ask him curiously. "They could've been worse," he says with a shrug."I swear for a second I thought you were gonna shoot him," I say, my whole body buzzing with the adrenaline coursing through my body. "He'll remember tonight, that's enough for now," Alexander says, still driving, still c
Hazel POV. Naturally, I've picked one of the new dresses I got, opting for a black number, one of the safest choices that I have bought, along with some heels that I already owned and were broken in, so they won't be breaking my feet. I took a shower as soon as I got inside my room, I washed my hair, used some expensive conditioner and leave on as well, scrubbed my body with scented soap that left me both soft and smelling like a flower shop.For hair, I simply curled the ends after drying it, as for my face, I went with a full natural beat, I looked expensive and doll-like, I loved the effect. Thank God for YouTube and hours of free time back when I was in high school. I left my room, spraying some expensive French perfume that was a gift from Leo on last Christmas, and then I was out of my room looking for Alexander, my one hour is done.I found him sitting in the kitchen, busy on his laptop, as soon as he saw me, he looked up, I saw something different in his eyes, the way he lo
Hazel POV.I woke up to my door being knocked on, it brought me back from the dead, I was sleeping in such a deep sleep, I'm making up for last night, and all the nights that I haven't been sleeping in this house where I felt the safest. "What?" I yell out. "Wake up, it's time to go," Alexander says, and I groan in response, finally getting up from the bed, going to the bathroom, washing my face and getting ready again, putting the rest of my clothes back on.I met him back downstairs, he looked fresh and ready to go, he looked at me, I still looked like death, but he didn't care, we're going shopping first, I'm sure I can pick enough things to make up for all the messiness he's seeing. We got in his car, and he drove toward a shop, not the mall like I expected him to, but toward a specific boutique that I have never been into, even if it wasn't with Alexander, I wouldn't be thinking twice of coming into this shop; it wasn't my style."I thought we were going to the mall," I say wi
