Joseph and I walk into the expensive restaurant. Joseph had to call in for reservations. The walls are a solid grey. The room has candles lit around the room. We walk over to our table, everyone at the other tables seems to be wearing dresses, jumpsuits, or suits.
When I sit down. Joseph pushes into my chair, then walk around to his. We order our food, and within an hour we begin to dig in. The classical music plays in the background.
"Your outfit looks beautiful but it would look even better on the floor" He winks at me. This evening he has been flirtier than usual with me. The date seems to be going almost perfectly for us."Did you know that I have loved you since we were kids? I'm so in love with you now. I'm happy we were able to connect like this. I would do anything for you"I say to him.
He doesn't say anything. He just looks down at his feet. I'm afraid I might have ruined things. I made things awkward between us. "I have to go to the restroom, "I say before walking away.
I walk away so quickly. After washing my hands, I reapply my lipstick. I stand in the bathroom for a few minutes.
I walk back to the table. My heart is pounding fast. Then when I am a few feet from the table my heart drops to my feet.
Joseph is kissing a girl. "But I thought you
had feelings for me?" I ask. I feel tears about falling down my cheeks."Sweetheart, it was all just a dare" the girl says to me."How pathetic that you thought I could have feelings for an immature basic bitch like you"Joseph says.
I begin to feel uncontrollable tears drifting down
my cheeks.
Within seconds I see Colin punching Joseph in the face. I think he broke Joseph's nose. It made me feel a bit happier because that meant Joseph can never model again.
"You aren't no gentleman. A gentleman
doesn't kiss another girl while on a date.
Anastasia deserves better" Colin says to him. Colin's words warm my heart. But I shouldn't be thinking of him in that way. He suddenly carries me in his arms. This makes me feel comforted. Before I know it, I'm sitting in his car.
"Why did stand up for me?" I stuttered.
"Princess, It's because you didn't deserve that.
He embarrassed you in front of many people.
You deserve the world. When I look at you, I see a shining star. So beautiful, but also so bright."
Colin says.
Colin holds me tight in his arms. This feels better than the kind words he spoke to me. The tears yet still keep falling down my cheeks. "Just let it out, it will be okay, princess"Colin comforts me. I wish I could stay here forever, in this moment, and in his warm arms that welcomed me with kindness.
The words he spoke about me felt too beautiful to
describe me. I feel as if I look basic, and there isn't anything special about me.
After a few minutes, I'm more calm. "Buckle up, Princess. I'm driving you home" he says. Once he arrives at my house. I lean over and kiss his soft lips. I don't know what came over me.
"Don't tell anyone about what happened tonight" Colin reminds me before I step out of the car.I begin to walk into the house. "why were you crying?" my father asks. "Joseph embarrassed
me, he went on a date with me as a dare, and then I caught him making out with another girl when
I got out of the bathroom. I had to call a friend to take me home."I tell him.
I see the color on my father's face go from upset to bright red. He is angry with me.
"That is an unforgivable thing for him to do. He had no right to break your heart. Don't worry,
Your brothers and I will get rid of the problem" he says. I watch as he begins to call someone on his phone.Later that day, I sit in a truck with a blindfold on. My brothers are taking me somewhere as a surprise.
When we arrive, they carefully help me out of the truck. "Take off your blindfold, sis," Adam says.
When I take off my blindfold, I see we are at an old abandoned parking garage. I see Joseph tied up with a gag in his mouth. He has tears streaming down his face but he deserved non the less.
My father hands me a bat. Then he says, "Give him what he deserves if it begins to be too much,
I'll finish him off".
I start beating him, blood splashed all over my clothes, his nose is broken, his face is covered in bruises, and he wants to scream but he can't. I feel all of my anger spilling out into joy. Watching the suffering makes me feel almost completely better. He used to be my everything, but now all I see him as is flesh and blood. Finally, I hit him one last time, straight for the head. Blood flows down the ground.
I begin feeling ready to go, my brother hands me a pair of clothes. I begin to strip off all of my dirty clothes. I slide on my brother's baggy hoody and some sweatpants.
