I immediately ran over to her.
Cali: What happened?!
Ariella: I- I
She was crying so hard she couldn't get the words out. I went over to the bed and sat her down on it. Through the corner of my eyes I could see Alecs scratch the back of his head and clear his throat. When I walked over to the bed he could see we weren't going to do much talking tonight he walked out. Next thing I know I hear jai screaming and Hylind flipping out. Two fucking seconds is all I need. I was going to ignore their ignorant asses but Ariella ran out to the living room to see what was going on, she seemed to clean her self up real fast. Jai looked at her real hard, just staring. Ari looked away and into my shoulder. I grabbed her face and went to ask her what was wrong when in an instant I figured it out. She had a bright red handprint on her right cheek and a huge bruise on her shoulder. He was abusing her.
I flipped shit.
Next thing you know I was jumping over couches, smacking Ayden, pushing people off me, screaming and breaking shit. Just to get to Jai. When I did I blacked out, I was just swinging, and then being pulled off by Alecs. When I got back to reality I turned around, found Ari, and took her into my room. Once we got there, there was nothing much else to do but to hold her and let her cry.
Cali: Why didn't you say something?
Ariella: I didn't know how.
Cali: But that's not a fucking game Ariella. You need to understand how bad the situation could have gotten. How long has he been hitting you?
Ariella: I don't wan-
Cali: Okay.
I just held her all night. The arguing and fighting continued in the livingroom but my main priority was making sure my best friend, my sister was okay.
•••
I didn't end up falling asleep, im still up at 12pm in the afternoon. I let Ari fall asleep though. This vacation was some serious bullshit.
I got up and went into the kitchen for a glass of water and seen Jai out at the pool. He looked back and noticed me looking at him.
Jai: You want to hit me again? Go ahead.
I did I really did want to.
Cali: I don't want to hit you. Well kind of, but no. What the fuck is wrong with you Jai?
Jai: I don't know why I do it.
Cali: Did you want to feel dominate? Did you do it because you got mad? She did nothing to you for you to do that.
I started tearing up.
Cali: I just don't understand. There's nothing for you now Jai. You lost your Girlfriend, Your friends. Everything. For what? Do you realize the effect on her? She's going to be scared of every guy now. Because of you. Was it worth it? Tell me that one jai.
By this time I was in full blown tears and I wanted to be strong for Ari so I went to the bathroom to clean myself up before she seen. While I was in there I went in the shower and washed up. Before I realized it someone was knocking on the door. I got out of the shower and checked the time. I'd been in there two hours. I dried off and put my towel on.
When I went to the door and opened it Imani stood there shocked. It was weird as fuck.
Imani: Oh, I'm sorry.. I didn't know it was you.
Cali: Yup, just me.
Imani: Yeah.. So you didn't talk to Alecs?
Cali: I didn't get the chance to. Why?
Imani: Okay..
She rushed into the bathroom and pushed me out. This bitch. I should have punched her right then and there. But I didn't. I went back into my room and got dressed. I put on white shorts and a burgandy and white sweater from pink and white converse, put my hair in a bun and went back out to the livingroom where I seen Alecs lying down sleep. Even though it was late in the day, around 3 now Ari and Alecs were still sleep. Everyone was up, watching me stare at Alecs.
I walked over to the kitchen and grabbed a jug of water and a carton of eggs out. Went back over to Alecs and opened the water. It was obvious what was next, but it was also obvious what was going on.
Cali: Wake up.
I said calm and he moved a little at my voice. I then took the jug of water and began pouring it all over him.
Cali: WAKE UP!
I screamed and he got up so fast trying to figure out why I went totally insane.
Alecs: What the fuck is wrong with you Cali!?
Cali: What wrong with me? What the fuck did you have to tell me last night?
His face lit up with awareness and he knew why I was officially ready to stab him.
Alecs: Cali... I'm sorry..
I grabbed two eggs out if the carton and chucked them at him.
Cali: "sorry"? That's all? Fuck you
Alecs! You lying!
1 egg.
Cali: Cheating!
Another.
Cali: dirty!
Two more.
Cali: Asshole!
I began to break down, but before so I took two eggs, one in each hand, walked over to Imani and cracked them over her head. And bent down to whisper in her ear while she was still in shock.
Cali: Next time you want to call yourself a "friend" to someone, don't call yourself sleeping with their boyfriend.
And witch that I walked away buy while I was on my merry little way out this bitch Alecs said.something to me.
Alecs: You really going to act like that when I know you have a thing with Ayden!?
Aydens face lit up and he blushed a little.
Cali: We don't gave a thing.
Alecs: explain that to Ayden then because he sure seems to be in love with you.
I looked at Ayden.
Alecs: Don't play dumb Cali. Come on! He's been on love with you forever. And there's no way you don't feel the same.
I flipped him off and walked away to my room. Ariella had heard all the yelling and come out earliar so it was just me in here. I heard the doorknob giggle. Shit. I didnt lock the door. I didn't bother to see who was walking in, I didn't care.
Next thing I was turned around with my lips pressed to someone else's.
Ayden's.
