disappear

Aspen's POV:

I walked towards my locker putting my things in it. As I closed my locker I see a very familiar face that all the girls go crazy for but not me.

"What do you want" My voice uninterested as I come face to face with the boy that I call 'player.' His look gets taken back, probably not familiar being talked to that way.

"To take you on a date" He said as he straightened his posture with a smirk glued to his face.

"No why would I date you Ashton?" I stated, I almost laughed at his expression. It was like someone had their first rejection.

"Are you fucking serious" He asked like I was joking.

"Are you?" I questioned as his face turned shocked he stood there speechless like I should explain myself.

"I your a player and you probably-"

"Excuse me I'm not a player" He cuts me off.

"Your excused and I have to get to class" You walked away as you heard the bell ring. You see the way he tried to comprehend my disrespect to him.

I walk out to the front of you school waiting for Tate she was my best friend. "Hey" She said walking towards me.

"Hey are you ready to go?" I was the one with the car so I drove us to school everyday. She knew about my family. Because she always came over so I had to tell her to tell her why we had guards and why we always had my fathers men over.

"Yes" She said as we started to walk to my car.

"So guess what happened to me today Ashton asked me out" I laughed at the thought of it. "No way what did you say" I said no and that he was the 'player' at school and he got all upset.

"Good he needs to be put in his place" she laughed as I pulled up to her house.

"Bye i'll talk to you later" I said as she got out of the car. "Bye" She smiled.

I get to my house as the gates of hell open that's what I like to call it. I walked though the front door going immediately upstairs to avoid my family. Getting to my room I close the door and lock to start working on homework before dinner is ready.

"Dinner" I hear mamà yell from down stairs. I walked down stairs to see my two brothers play fighting as I sit down at the dinner table. "Boys stop it and sit down" My mom yelled at them and they instantly stopped.

"Heyyy Az" Hugo said to me as he messed up my hair. "Hi" I said as he sat down next to me. Hugo was my older brother and Cameron was the oldest I was the youngest. Cameron was 20 and Hugo was 19 and I'm 17.

We're all Italian expect for my mom she was French. I was the only one who was pretty fluent in Italian so I could understand what my Father would be talking about and his plans for the mafia. If he ever found out I was dead.

I heard heavy foot steps walking towards the dinner table I stayed quiet as my father walked in. He sat at the head of the table as he just stared at me.

"How was your day father" Cameron said as I cut into my food. "It was good Son." He took a bite of his food with a stern face.

"How was yours Aspen?" Cameron then asked me. "It was boring just school stuff" I say taking a sip of my water.

I wasn't into the mafia as much as my brother's and my Father. I didn't like to kill or hurt people but there were consequences because of that. I still trained with my brother's so I knew how to protect myself.

"I have an announcement" I hear Father says as I get pulled out of my thoughts. We all stop talking as he look right at me. "What's is it?" Hugo questioned.

"Your sister is getting married," He paused to see the look on my face as I dropped my fork. "To Garth Argento."

"What" I said as I looked to Mamà her face had an I didn't know about this expression.

"You didn't tell me about this Enzo" Mamà said hiding her anger. "I must of have forgotten" He smirks Cameron face becomes filled will rage.

"How can you do this she only 17 father." Cameron said standing up from his chair.

I didn't want to marry someone like Garth. I have heard bad things about him he kills for no reason he could treat me just how my family dose. I wanted to marry someone who loved me and who actually knew me. Garth didn't know me and he probably won't like me ether. At that point I just wanted to disappear.

"Sit down this is not up for discussion I have made up my mind Aspen you will meet him soon" He smiled.

"I'm done eating" I get up from my chair, running out of the room to upstairs. Running into my room I lock my door behind me with tears fall down my cheeks.

Maybe it won't be so bad Garth could be nice. I decided to write out all of my emotions instead of crying. I got up and grabbed my journal and pen.

Dear me, Father has arranged a marriage between me and Garth Argento. I didn't want this, this is not the way my life is supposed go. From the things I have heard Garth is ruthless, and he has one of the biggest mafias which that his probably why this is happening. Garth could kill me and that's probably what father is hoping for knowing him. So if I die I guess I die.

Journaling helped me most of the time but this time I still felt anger so I decided to paint it away. I got the artistic gene so that's what I did if I needed a distraction from my family and mafia things.

I sat down on my stool in front of my canvas with a paint brush in my hand. As I didn't have any idea of what I was going to paint, I decided to do an abstract piece.

It was 1 am when I finally got done painting and no one came up to check up on me but what's new. Father probably forbid it. I was finally calm so I decided to go to bed. But Garth still lingered around the back of my head.
