Under My Skin

~ Chapter Nineteen ~

"You cunt."

Ember did surprisingly well after the ceremony started. That was until her speech. She slowly walked up to the front of the church, facing us.

Placing her shaking hands on the podium. Her curly hair up in a bun aside from a few rogue strands. The dress she was wearing was Athalias so it was tighter on her than it would've been on Athalia. Her figure in the dress was hard to ignore.

Ember cleared her throat to grasp everyone's attention. "So uhm if you didn't already know, Blaise Zabinis my father. Or was my father...he was truly a magical man." She hinted, only a handful of us getting the inside joke.

"One thing I knew that my father took harshly was me crying...he hated the sight of me with tears in my eyes, all puffy and red. So I promise daddy...I won't cry anymore." Her voice broke in the process.

"And I won't stop looking for whoever fucking killed you until he's either 6 feet under ground, behind bars, or bleeding out in my basement." The whole room was shocked.

Then she walked back down to us and walked out the doors. Paparazzi only multiplied when we went in. Now they filled the streets. "Ember what did you mean in your speech?" One asked. "I meant what I said. What are you deaf?" Emmy countered back.

"Fucking whore." He commented. My skin crawled at his comment. Before anyone could stop me, I put Ember behind me and punched the man. The crack of his jaw making everyone cringe.

"Kieran!" My father warned when I went to continue. The cuts on my knuckles broke open yet again. Ember took my hand pulling me to the limousine. We all jumped in to avoid our pictures being taken. Closing the door before my father slid in.

"Listen I know you got angry but we can't have that type of publicity Kieran." My father lectured. "It's not good for the business. Do we need to put you in anger management again?" He explained.

I shook my head no, refusing to look at him. "You punch one more person your fist is gonna break." He gave me a look. "Wouldn't be the first time." I snidely commented.

That made Ember slap my arm. "Just get your shit together." He told me, then leaving the limousine. The engine started and we took off. "That's gonna be all over the news." Scorpius chuckled.

"The look on his face." Athalia let out a laugh. I'm glad everyone else found it amusing. "It was pretty amusing." Lilah agreed. "My hero." Emmy kissed my cheek.

I grinned at Scorpius when he gave me a knowing look. "I found it hot." Arabella said next. Ember gave her a nasty look.

"I was actually wondering if you'd be my date to the party and then maybe the Yule ball." Bella smiled, completely ignoring the disgusted looks on our friends faces. "Actually Bella I was gonna ask Em." She scoffed.

"Oh yeah poor tragic Ember." Bella commented. "What In Salazars name is your problem?" Emmy snapped. "You cunt." I was in the middle. Ember on my right and Bella on my Left.

Ember jumped from her spot, smacking Bella across the face. "Remember who you're talking to bitch!" Ember insulted. I put my arm around her to keep her planted onto the seat.

While Bella held onto her cheek. "Bella what the fuck has gotten into you?" Scorpius questioned his younger sister. "I just want him to show that he loves me! I love him and I know he loved me too!" She was crying and god was she an ugly cryer.

Everyone was completely stunned. Unsure of how to react to her rant. "And the only thing getting in way of us being together is this whore!" She wined. Em let out a soft mocking laugh.

"Bella your my friend-, not...not even that your my bestfriends little sister." I tried to explain but couldn't contain the frustrated laughs escaping my mouth. "I care for Ember, I've always cared for Ember and I always will." I blankly stated.

"You don't mean that." She told me through tears. "I do. I'm sorry I don't love you and I don't know what I could've done to lead you to believe that." I might've been harsh on her but it's what's she needed to hear.

"Bella you're overreacting." Lilah told her. And with that she jumped across the car, pulling Lilahs hair and screaming. The car door opened as they fell out.

"Oh this bitch needs to be put down!" Ember told us hopping out of the car. Getting a grip on Bella's hair and yanking her up before backhanding her. Cars stopped as they fought in the middle of the road. Including our parents limousine, they all started running towards us.

"Fucking cunt!" Ember yelled as they fought eachother. Lilah on the ground sliding towards us. Athalia helped her up before encouraging Ember.

"Put that bitch down!" Athalia chanted. Scor and I grabbing onto the girls to pull them apart. I took ember by the waist, throwing her over my shoulder. "What the fuck is going on?" Mrs. Malfoy let out.

"He doesn't love me mom!" She cried out. "What?" Our parents were extremely confused. And so we're we. Bella had never acted out this way before. By now we were all yelling in the middle of the road. Paparazzi was sure to come soon.

"EVERYBODY SHUT UP!" My father, Athalia, and I all yelled at the same time.

They froze, looking at us. "You're all going to go home, get dressed, have fun tonight, and fucking behave! Or I swear to Merlin I will crucio you all!" My father threatened.

We nodded our head agreeing to his terms. "Bella and Scorpius you're switching limousines and Theodore and I are coming in yours." So we switched. "Are you alright?" Mister Nott questioned Lilah. She nodded her head hugging her fathers arm.

"Ember?" My father asked. Wondering if she was okay. "Peachy keen." She reassured. "What even happened?" Mister Nott interrogated.

"Bella started breaking down because Kieran wouldn't asked her to the Yule ball. Lilah said she was overreacting and Bella attacked Lilah. I jumped in because she was getting on my nerves." Ember explained with a straight face.

"Thanks Em." Lilah smiled. Emmy nodded her head. At the same time our phones dinged. We took them out, checking the notifications.

And I'm large fonts was "KIERAN EZRA RIDDLE, SON OF FAMOUS MILLIONAIRE AND BUSINESS OWNER MATTHEO RIDDLE, ATTACKED A CAMERAMAN TO DEFEND HIS NEW LOVER EMBER ZABINI."

Damn it.
