CHAPTER TWELVE || IMANI

I wake up to the tray of breakfast on my bed. The aroma wafts around the room and I settle it against my legs. I cut up one of the waffles and start eating it before Enzo rushes into my room.

"Get ready, your having brunch with your father and some others."

"But I'm already eating" I chuckle biting on a piece of bacon.

"Do you think anybody cares, get ready you have 45 minutes." he says before shutting my door.

God my family are asses.

I put the tray to the side and get myself out the bed but not before grabbing a strawberry.

I rummage through my suitcase and decide to put on a dark blue pair of ripped jeans and a long sleeved black shirt with a deep U-neck which showed a pretty decent amount of cleavge.

I went into my bathroom to do some of my essentials. I curled my hair a bit and walked out the door. I was put on house arrest by my father. I could walk around the house but not un-accompanied.

I make my way to the courtyard were I see a long white table with food scattered about. One side is my family and the others is.. hell no.

Max's.

His mother side eyes me as I walk over to the table of which my family is sitting on.

I sit next to my brother Christan and he looks at me. His eyes look sorry. What is happening...

I see my dad walk out with Max and my dad takes a seat at the head of the table. And Max crutches over to the seat next to me.

After I shot him in the leg he was taken the the hospital and there wasn't any major damage but he did spend a few days there but was now issued crutches.

He places the cructhes on the floor and sits down trying to grab my hand.

I take my hand away and stick it in my lap and give the other one to Christian.

People start grabbing food and putting it on there plates so I do the same. I grab an omlete from the stack and pile it with toppings, especially extra onions.

A few minutes pass by and my dad gets up from the table,"everybody I have an announcement" he says tapping on his glass with a knife.

"My son-in-law has just informed me that he and my daughter will get married in two days time" he says excitedly. The table erupts and camera lights flash. Max wraps his snaky arm around me and I freeze. HE SAID WHAT.

I push up off the table but Max grabs my hand and gives me a look. A look of sit the fuck down. A look of theres no running. A look of it's over. He has no power over me anymore.

"The wedding fucking off." I scream and the whole room freezes.

My dad gets up walking over to me angry, "be grateful someone wants your ungrateful ass now go sit back down and enjoy." he whispers making sure only I heard.

I start to cry but keep the tears at bay walking back over to my chair and sitting down.

I feel helpless. As more laughs are being made and more photos are being taken of the "happy couple."

༺ ৎ୭ ༻

"FUCKKKKK" I yell out throwing a vase on the floor. I let all my anger out. I throw books on the floor, the picture frames of my family, the photos collage hanging over my desk of me and Max.

I grab a pair of scissors and cut every one while tears stream down my cheecks.

"Mani?" I hear a voice say from the door.

"Who is it?" I say.

"Just open the door?" they question and I get up with the scissors still clench in my hand just incase.

I swing the doors open and my best friend, Aliana, is standing there with a big white box and a Taco Bell bag.

"Aliana!" I squeal dropping the scissors with almost land on her feet.

"Mani!" she says dropping the stuff and embracing me in a hug.

"God I missed you.." I say crying more into her shoulder.

"I missed you too babes." she says squeezing harder.

༺ ৎ୭ ༻

"So wait what." she says sitting on my bed.

I had just told her about Gabriel, and the whole kidnapping situation, the hook up, Valeria, and what Max did to me.

"Imma kill that son of a bitch" she snarls digging through the bag and pulling out a quesadilla.

"I've tried." I say stuffing a taco in my mouth.

"All of that and your still standing, be grateful girl" she says rubbing me leg.

Aliana and me had been friends since out first day of Pre-K. Connected at the hip. Our moms we're actaully best friends.

"Oh." she says pointing towards the floor.

"Your trash dad asked me to bring that up here," she was pointing at the big white box.

I crawl onto the floor and take the silky bow off.

I open the lid revealing a weding dress
