My eyes followed him running after her. I am not saying that I am jealous of her, I am just hurt. He hurt my feelings, yet again.

And here am I, half drunk. Why you ask, well what else can I do? I would not let him and Sia ruin my night and my life. My phone vibrated in my hand. I ignored it and took a sip of my root beer. It pinged again, well vibrated in my hand.

Again a few times, I groaned. It might be someone important with a mission. I unlocked it and saw several messages on Instagram. All from Sia. What does she wants now? I ignored, she sent one more. Wasn't she dancing with Enzo a while ago? None of them are on the floor now. Hesitating, I opened Instagram and went to my DMs.

A sigh left my lips as I saw 9+ new messages. I opened her chat.

Hey?
I wanted to tell you something. Enzo told me not to, but I cannot bear anymore.
He wants you, he likes you okay?
Now don't ask me why I told you this.
I am in the bathroom of this club and he is standing outside. I'll tell you everything.
Two days ago when he and I slept together, he confronted me why I behave like a bitch towards you, we argued a lot on that.
He said some things. And that made me realize that I was wrong towards you, I-I am sorry Isabella.
And when I approached Enzo this morning, I told him I was sorry and going to do anything to help him get you. He asked me to fake date him.
I agreed because I thought that he wanted to make you jealous so you tell him how you felt.
But now that he told me he did this to keep you away from him, I am not helping him anymore.
Please do confront him Isa Shine.
—Sia.

I scoffed. What the hell are they plotting together.

"What's wrong?" Tessa asked. Without saying anything, I passed my phone to her. She and Dan read all the messages and scoffed. "Please tell me you don't believe her." Dan said.

"I don't know." I shrugged and gulped down remaining root beer and placed the bottle on the bar. "But, I am going out find out now." I jumped down from the stool. They handed me my phone and I started walking towards the ladies room.

Once I reached there, I saw Enzo sitting on the benches nearby. "What kind of a fucking game are you playing with me, Enzo?" I roared at him showing Sia's chats. He looked at my phone's screen in confusion and read all the texts.

He gulped and stood up. "It's not that. That's a lie." He said.

"Okay, I believe you." I said crossing my arms over my chest. His eyes flicked to my boobs and he licked his lips before adverting them back to my face. "Tell me one reason not to believe her."

"Tell me one reason you believe her." He mimicked my actions clenching his jaw.

"Believe it or not, she would never want anything bad for me. She may have hurt me emotionally and mentally but would never want anything bad for me." I said. He scoffed.
"I don't think so."

I glared at him and took a step forward. He cleared his throat and stepped back. I mentally smirked. Taking a few steps forward, his back hit the wall and he sighed. "Bella." He warned.

"Don't call me Bella." I whispered. I might be just a teeny tiny bit drunk, because Tess and Dan did not let me drink my on the rocks whiskey. I just drank two glasses of wine. And a tequila shot.
I placed my hands on his shoulder, "I finally know what Bella means. It means beautiful, doesn't it? You call me beautiful every time." I giggled.
