ZHAVIA II

Chapter 2

Adele's POV

"Adele? Adele..."

I snap out of it and look up.

"Jesus..." Tristan says to me as I sat in the room by myself. I watched the blood pour out of Ace. I didn't know what else to do but call the ambulance. They arrested me and took Ace in the ambulance. I have sat here for hours handcuffed.

Who was going to clean Ace's blood off my kitchen floor.

I just stared at Tristan. I could not get a word out. He just stared at me worried and kept saying my name.

"Your father wants to repersent you." Tristan says. "He's outside, but my lawyer is here too..."  I stabbed his brother and he brought his lawyer here.

"Adele." He says again and I look at him. "Hes not dead."

I burst out in tears and he just sighs. "Have you been checked out?"

"Ambulance people." I say finally. "They gave me ice."

"Adele youre black and blue."  He says rubbing his eyes. "And Ace is in hospital. You guys have lost your mind."

"Can you call Kayden. Tell him to come home and stay with the twins." I tell Tristan and he just stares at me. "I spoke to Kayden. He's here."

"Tell him to go home for the twins."

"They went to stay at their dad's house." He says to me. "Some social workers came." 

"Fuck..."  I say bursting out in tears. I will never have custody over them again.

"Dont worry okay. Ill keep an eye out and so will Kayden."

"If your brother isn't dead. I'm going to kill him." I tell Tristan. I was so angry. My whole body was shaking.

"What happened ... you guys left the party and all was good."

"Your stupid friend Zara's ex boyfriend... Declan." I say still crying. "Declain kept talking to me and was trying it. Ace lost it in the car. He wouldn't let me out. He locked me in the car so we started fighting. He choked me so hard I nearly passed out." I take a breathe and try to stop crying but I was hysterical.

"I unlocked the car and ran inside and when he followed me in- I was losing that fight... look at me? How is that a fair fight he's like 6ft 4! My whole body hurts. I can taste blood. He came and I took... and I just..."

"Okay okay." He says trying to console me.

"You need to leave." Jamal says entering with a police officer. Tristan looks at him.

"Can you not see I am talking?" He snaps at him. I knew he was frustrated and all- and he had his own personal issue with my father.

"I'll be okay." I tell Tristan and he nods getting up exitting the room.

"Jesus Christ..." Jamal says as he sits down. "Take the handcuffs off please." He tells the officer.

"You dont need to pull me out of shit." I tell Jamal. Lucky me. My father turns up when im 21 and is a fucking lawyer.

"Adele you look like you need medical treatment. A black eye.. you lips busted. Youre covered in bruises. A man shouldnt put his hands on you. Definitely not your boyfriend."

"You're facing time in prison."  He says. "But lucky you- your father is a lawyer for the state."

"Lucky me."  I say. "Just because youre my biological father  dont mean you have to know move like it. Ive known you a couple of days."
