Chapter 10

(Isabella's POV)

We sat around on the deck, utterly exhausted from the day's antics. After blasting the guys with the garden hose, they had wrestled it away from Ivy and chased us around the yard. Eventually, Zach trapped me between himself and the house. Despite my best attempts to flirt my way out of getting soaked, he wrapped his strong arms around my waist and tossed us both into the pool. Soon, everyone else jumped in, and we spent the rest of the morning and most of the afternoon swimming and playing in the water.

Now, we lay sprawled on the deck, too tired to move. "We should do something," Ezra broke the peaceful silence.

"Like what?" Ivy asked, sitting up to look at him.

"We haven't been to a party in a while. There's one tonight, and I could get us VIP tickets," he said, moving off the deck to sit under the shade.

"I don't want to go to a party. Let's do something else," Zach replied from beside me, glaring at Ezra.

"Why not? We used to party every weekend," Ezra retorted.

"I think we should go," I chimed in, sitting up. I hadn't been to a party in ages. I didn't miss the lifestyle, but I did miss the occasional party. Zach looked at me, his eyes softening.

"Fine, we'll go," he conceded.

I smiled and turned to Ivy. "Help me pick an outfit," I said.

"We have so much to do, we need to get our hair done, we need to do our makeup and pick out an outfit" she spoke bouncing with every word she spoke.

A few hours later we were dressed to party, Ivy found a black little slip dress with glitters and rhinestones in the back of my closet and found me a red bodycon dress which left little to the imagination.

"Are you girls ready? The party started 20 minutes ago" Jeremiah yelled from down the stairs, we took one last look at the mirror before making our way down the stairs.

Zach's eyes snapped to mine making me stumble on one of the steps, he's dressed in a black dress shirt that he rolled to his sleeves to showcase his tattoo collection along with black trousers with his hair gelled back.

My stomach fluttered as his eyes roamed over my legs and breasts before meeting my eyes once again. He reached his hand out to me as I hit the bottom stairs "You look beautiful baby girl" he whispered looking down at me.

"You don't look to bad yourself"

The drive to the club was anything but comfortable, Ivy sat in the passenger seat while Jeremiah drove and I was sandwiched between Ezra and Zach in the back seat. Zach had his arm around the back of my seat, trying to push me as far away from Ezra as he possibly could.

I shifted trying to get into a more comfortable position which led me to brush my bare leg against Ezra's "Sorry" I whispered giving him a small smile "It's fine doll, you can brush your leg against mine anytime you want" he spoke showing off his smirk, Zach growled from beside me with one swift motion he had me sitting on his lap.

"Zach, what are you doing?" I screeched shifting on his lap, he pushed away one stray hair behind my ear "You're mine baby girl, I'm making sure everyone knows that" he spoke throwing Ezra a harsh glare.

"We're here" Jeremiah called from the front seat distracting us from the heavy tension, I hurriedly opened the door making my way outside, a hand wrapped around my waist pulling me into a hard chest.

"I'm not yours Zach" I spoke softly shoving his hand away, making my way towards Ivy. "I'm ready to dance" I told her as soon as we hit the dance floor, she smiled pulling me further in. "Let's dance then baby" she screamed over the music.

Hands wrapped around my waist pulling me into a hard chest, I jumped in fright "It's me baby doll" I looked back in surprise seeing Ezra grin down at me. "Just follow my lead doll. I promise it's worth it" he whispered in my ear grinding his hips against my ass.

I've always been told what to do, in some way or another, I was never able to just let loose and just be a teenager without a past. This night is the night I can let loose and just have fun.

I swayed my hips with his, he bent his head breathing heavily against my neck "You're absolutely stunning baby doll From the very first moment I saw you, you took my breath away," he spoke huskily in my ear.

"I remember how your red hair framed your face, making your hazel eyes shine," he said, sending a chill through my veins. I stood frozen against him, unable to move or speak.

"You might have fooled everyone else, but not me, sweetheart," I snapped, turning to face him. "If you knew who I am, why did you let him get so close?"

He chuckled, standing mere centimetres away to anyone else it seemed that we were about to kiss, though the hatred in his eyes told a different story.

"My father always said, 'Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.'"

His hands tightened around me before they were ripped away from me, I gasped with shock seeing Zach over Ezra throwing punches to his face. "Don't fucking touch her again" Zach yelled in his face. For a moment I was frozen on the spot, I didn't know whether to stop him and find out what Ezra knows or let him get rid of my problems.

Ivy's yelling pulled me from my trance, I moved forward gripping Zach's biceps in an attempt to pull him back. "Zach stop it" I yelled, he removed his biceps from my grip continuing to throw punches. "I will rip my top off in front of all these people if you don't get off of him" I yelled in his ear, that seemed to snap him out of his violent strike.

The look on his face scared me to no end, it was a look of violence, hatred and something else I couldn't quite put my finger on.

A startled squeak escaped my lips as, in one swift motion, I found myself staring at Zach's ass. And all I could think was, what the hell am I going to do?
