Ruthless ; B•E

Ten

The next day Aliza was fully expecting Billie to be gone and her family would be back but Billie was on the other side of the bed.
Aliza sat up and checked the time.
Wow. They slept in.
It's 2:53pm.
Aliza has never slept that long.
But she was hungover really bad.
Her head pounded and her throat was dry.
"Hey you alright?" Billie asked while rolling over, pushing her face into the pillow as she tried to wake herself up.
"Yeah... hungover. But I'm gonna hit the gym downstairs." Aliza sat up but Billie cleared her throat.
"You're not working out today. Sorry about that but I think if your brother finds out his baby sister got drunk under my watch, he'd kill us bother mercilessly." She let out a sleepy chuckle and sat up.
"But I feel bloated. Twenty minutes. Please." Aliza begged. She loved working out in the mornings. It mostly gave her a positive start to her day.
But Billie wasn't caving.
"You can't work out until you eat. Cmon I'm starving."
Aliza raised her eyebrow and cleared her throat.
"I don't eat when I wake up. Thought you didn't either." She said with an obvious attitude.
"Doesn't hurt to get something in your stomach to absorb the leftover alcohol."
A few hours later they decided to take a walk into the city.
For Aliza, this was a big deal. She never EVER got to walk around the city when her brothers were home.
They'd instantly send Vincent to watch after her.
But being with Billie really calmed her nerves.
"Wanna stop in here and look around?" Billie asked while walking into a custom car parts shop.
"Yesss." Aliza beamed while running toward the door to which Billie cleared her throat.
Right... Billie always gets the door.
They walked around the store, Aliza was getting a little too excited while looking at the custom exhaust pipe tips.
There was one in particular that caught her eye.
A pink, heart shaped exhaust tip.
"I'm gonna use their restroom, wait outside on the bench for me." Billie carefully instructed the younger girl who happily complied.
But Billie wasn't using the restroom.
She purchased the exhaust pipe and left it behind the counter until she was ready to take it.
"Ready?" Billie asked as they walked away from the shop.
A few days later Billie hadn't been heard from.
Alex and Eli are home, so is Natasha and Vincent.
Aliza has kept the last two and a half days a complete secret, only making up small details so she didn't seem suspicious.
That was until Billie came over.
"Hey Aliza." She smiled while walking in and kicking her shoes off. Aliza just waved and prayed that she won't tell her brother what happened a few days prior to this moment.
    "I'm here for business Alexander... meet me in your office?" She asked with her eyes following Aliza as she walked up the stairs.
    "Certainly." Alexander cleared his throat and followed Billie to his office.
   A few moments later while Aliza was eating Alexander came downstairs and began pouring all the alcohol down the drain, occasionally glancing at the girl at the dining table.
   "Billie told me. I'm not mad, but why? Why did you think it was okay to scarf down a whole bottle of tequila on an empty stomach?" Alexander asked while throwing the empty bottle in the trash.
"I don't know... I'm sorry alright? I was.. sad." She hung her head low and he cleared his throat, capturing her attention."
"I said I'm not mad. You didn't even tell me on your own. Why's that?"
"Cuz you always get mad and yell at me." Aliza truthfully said with her voice cracking.
"Alex I told you not to make her cry." Billie said while creeping down the stairs.
"I didn't. She's just...... getting emotional."
"I'm fine. I'm just tired." Aliza stood up and tossed her plate in the sink but when she tried to run up to her room Billie grabbed her arm.
"Alex what did we agree on?" Billie held Aliza infront of her and Alexander deeply sighed, rubbing his forehead.
"Get dressed.. we're going out." He said but Billie coughed and nodded her head.
"Tell her where we're going.."
"I'm taking you to the track." His voice got quieter. He wasn't really used to being kind and gentle towards anyone.
But Billie forced it out of him.
"Go on." Billie quietly said, allowing the brunette to rush to her room.
Aliza was excited.
She knew she wanted to wear a tight top with larger pants. She just couldn't decide which ones.

For instance this is the outfit Aliza had chosen for today's event.
She put on converse and quickly applied a light layer of makeup.
"Ready Minnie?" Billie asked while walking into her room.
"Yeah... I think so." She replied, looking at herself in the mirror one last time before they headed out.
When they arrived Alexander handed her the keys to a rented race car.
It wasn't her dream car, but it was awesome.
"A Nissan skyline gtr r34!!" Aliza screeched while jumping up and down, pulling Alexander into a hug.
She also hugged Billie, continuously smiling and thanking them.
And the she put the helmet on and jumped into the car, fastening her seatbelt and aligning her mirrors and admiring the different gears of the car and how they sound.
She revved the engine a few times before flying down the track, quickly cutting the wheel to drift.
Billie was smiling wide.
And so was... Alexander. Aliza had the time of her life in this very moment.
It was such a small thing that made her heart leap with joy and utter excitement.
After her time was up she ran to Billie and Alexander and hugged them, thanking them again for this amazing time.
"I am so ready to see you as a street racer." Billie cackled which made Alexander growl.
"You're still on that?"
Billie raised her eyebrow making Alexander close his mouth.
"Let the girl dream. Let her live, you only live once."
Everyone headed home, even Billie came over to have dinner.
This was Aliza's perfect example of a perfect day.
