Gia's Beginning

28.

BRIA POV

When I don't get what I deserve then I get upset. It's been a flaw of mine from birth. After my mother passed when I was born... it's created this force in me to get anything I wanted. All because I never got her.

Now Gia was the one friend who was there with me no matter what. I mean she should be. After all I've done for her from years of friendship. But then she feels like going on her own was her way of shutting me out.

How rude.

That disgusting hotel she chose to work at was my last straw.  She's dissed me to go work there when I needed her?.

One night I snuck in there. I was beyond pissed the fuck off. Seeing her and Angela laughing and having a great time and she dissed me... that made me irate.

In the basement, I saw a gas can and I went to destroy all that Gia had. Wanting her crawling back to me... begging for my friendship...

Watching the small blaze reach its full potential was exciting. But I knew I had to get out of there fast. By the time I got home and showered to get that gas smell off of me. The hotel fire made the eleven o'clock news. Seeing my masterpiece was exciting.

"Wow isn't that the hotel Gia works at?" My step mother asked.

"I think so" I answered.

"Oh well that place was a travesty to our community" she said.

"Yup and now it's gone. Just like that" Seeing it's residence in thick blankets as the firemen tried to tame the blaze.

Gia forgot who's she's messing with... let this remind her.

When she called me letting me know what happened... I had to play the part. She needed me to be that friend for her. As I predicted.

But I wasn't in the mood to be sad like she was... her empathic nature was pissing me off. She doesn't even know these people who died like that.

Then hiding Delano from me was another thing that I'm working on. He's a man of success and she's with him? The broken damage girl? I don't think so. He's mine. He was put on this earth for me not her. She wouldn't even know what to do with him.

Gia has to go. I'll do her the favor and let her meet her maker quicker than planned. Once she's gone Delano will be grieving and I'll just slide in place and be happy.

I always get what I want!

GIA POV

Delano came over to go through the mail with me just in case some more evidence was there. Since he was here I decided to cook dinner. Placing a plate in front of him he smiled "it smells good".

"And I bet when you take the first bite it will be good" I said.

He did exactly that and moaned with each chew "Gia you have to be the best cook".

I shrugged "I wouldn't say the best".

"In my opinion you are the best cook" he smiled.

He opened up another paper "did you see this?".

Walking over to him and taking the paper from him...

Angela had been watching Bria. She's the one who pre sent me the evidence. With a letter stating how she's seen Bria lingering around the hotel at night. She felt that Bria wasn't up to no good and if something was to happen she's to blame. She was watching Bria the night things happened. That guilt I felt was coming back stronger than ever. How did I not see this?.

"We can thank your friend Angela from the dead for sending you this ahead of time" Delano said.

"She was a good friend. Never sugar coated anything... she told me all about Bria from when she first met her. On how she wasn't a good friend to me" I said.

"And we can both agree she's not. But I'm here to protect you" he said.  Feeling his hand on mine. Sometimes I wonder if I deserve someone like Delano. He's too sweet and kind. But he makes me feel special.
