Haiden Cross"Keep your phone close Cross, I'll need you tomorrow." Snake's voice grunts as he pushes me out of the car.My body makes contact with the concrete and I groan. I heard the screeching of tires as he drives off. I cough when the smell of the burnt tires reaches my nose.I blinked, rolling on my stomach as I looked at where he dropped me off. My neighborhood. I tear my eyes away from my house and focus on Bella's."Bella." I grunt forcing myself to stand up on my legs.___________Arabella RiveraI couldn't sleep. My mind racing too much to even allow me to rest.Father wanted me to stop seeing Haiden. He wanted me to leave the boy who ever made me feel loved. He wanted me to let go of my future.I sobbed turning over and burying my face into my pillow.I couldn't see my future if there was no Haiden. We were so happy that I forgot that we would have obstacles in our way. And father was the biggest one.

Arabella RiveraThe bone of my knuckles slamming onto the bridge of his nose felt satisfying and........painful. I have never punched anyone before, but for a first timer I thought I did pretty good when I saw the blood gushing out of his nose.Snake's head jerks back as he yells out a curse. "What the fuck!!"The woman that was once on his lap scurries out of his nasty room. "That's for making him do your dirty work you asshole!" I spat, loving the crimson liquid that trailed down his nostrils to the tip of his mouth before going down to his chin.That was a very beautiful sight."What the fuck are you talking about you stupid bitch?" He groans as he holds his bleeding nose.God, I hope I managed to break it."Arabella!" Gwen gasped as she runs over to me and takes a hold of my arm and tries to pull me away from Snake. I wasn't budging. I wanted him to feel as much pain as Haiden felt last night.He deserved ten times wo

Haiden CrossAs soon as the door closes behind Bella and Gwen I rushed towards Snake, not caring that the gash on my stomach protested and was in desperate need of some stitches."You bastard!" I roared, getting ready to wipe that cocky smile off his face until he points the barrel of the gun to me and makes a tsking sound."Uh uh. Remember I have my men outside. One wrong move and not only are those bitches dead but you." Snake smirked."You held her at gunpoint." I snapped, stopping mid punch before backing away.Snake rolled his eyes. "You lucky I didn't shoot the dumb bitch. I mean she was the one who came to my home unannounced and threw a punch at my nose. Clearly breaking it." He grumbles pointing at his bleeding nose.My girl had a mean hook. Unfortunately, she practiced it on the wrong person.I shouldn't have thrust her into my world. I was ruining her. I was turning her into me."She didn't know-"Save the

Arabella RiveraI traced the entire room with my footsteps as I paced back and forth. I hadn't heard from Haiden in hours and my fingers itched to call the cops. But Snake's words repeated in my head every time I had the urge to.I pressed my lips together as my eyes draw to his window for what felt like the fortieth time. Every time I heard the sound of a passing vehicle my heart would pummel in my chest thinking it was him. It was never him.My phone pings and I nearly flew across the room as I land on my bed with a huff. I reach out for my phone, heart racing as I looked at who texted me. Disappointment weighed heavily on my chest when I saw it was a text from Christian.Figuring I should at least check to see what he texted me, I opened the conversation.Christian: Have you seen Haiden?My stomach drops and I take a quick peek at the time on my phone. It was just eight fifty-five. Even though it wasn't exactly extremely late, it wasn't the

Arabella RiveraWaiting for him to message me was quite frankly setting my anxiety ablaze. I needed to see him, like right now.Not seeing him any longer would only feed my anxiety and worry. I needed to see if Snake hurt him.Walking out of my room, I run down the staircase and raced towards the front door. I wasn't sure what I'd do or say when I got there. I wasn't so sure I'd even be allowed in to see him. If Christian would be the one to answer the door then my chances of seeing Haiden tonight was slim to none.But what I was sure of, was seeing his face up close tonight. I wouldn't be able to sleep if I hadn't.As I run across the lawn and made my way to the Cross's house, my heart rate spiked. What if he doesn't want to see me? What if he hates me for putting him in that situation earlier?I bit into my bottom lip as the thought of him hating me sent a sharp jab to my chest. Still, I made my way to their front door only to flinch
