Forbidden Love.

Chapter 16 - i need an escape.

Recap: I was running so hard with my tears blinding me that I didn't even realize I ran straight into Elliot. instantly looking in his eyes calmed me.

"Shortcake what's wrong?"

I just broke down.

"Everything." I sobbed.

Chapter 16 - I need an escape



"Just talk to me"

"Do you know what today is ?"

He sighed deeply.

"Yes Elena told me that's why I was coming to find you hap.."

"Don't say it there is nothing happy about this birthday. Did you know I have to stay here with him and watch you marry jasmine?"

I was crying hysterically now, this was damn ridiculous it was my birthday for crying out loud and my so called father couldn't humor me for a day like he just has to rub it in that Elliot was marrying jasmine.

"I'm not marrying her I love you."

"No. I don't want to hear it I can't put you at risk and your sister what about her? I won't do it"

"And I won't marry her aria I lov...."

"Elliot darling"

Oh great the devil herself. she should wear black at her wedding.

"What?" Elliot snapped, he looked like he wanted to rip her head clean off her body.

"Daddy says since we're both eighteen we can get married anytime now, December is too cold to get married so I wanna get married in valentines day isn't that amazing?"

A gun. Now. please.

"Ohhh, and guess the best part along with my friends your sister is going to be in my bridal party just to make sure you go through with it of course"

Elliot froze and turned as white as snow.

"What?"

"Yup and the bestest part is that since we're cousins aria you get to be my maid of honor this is going to be great" she was psychotic i could see it , this was the girl who had me tied to a chair hours ago now talking wedding plans wearing the most pink i have ever seen.

This girl was delusional. cue fighting. I lunged at her and took out all my built up frustrations, I punched her , kicked her , I'm positive I took out some of her hair. I felt Elliot trying to get me off her but I couldn't stop.

"What is this?" a loud deep voice echoed through the hall.

Oh my big scary 'uncle' I'm so afraid. please.

"Daddy she hurt me" jasmine ran to him bloodied face and all and I just stood there smirking at them not having a care in this world.

"You !" he pointed at me

"Do you know who I am?"  he took a menacing step forward but i didn't move i wasn't going to show any of them fear

"Yea some guy who I really don't care about. oh and you're supposed to be my uncle"

"How dare you ?"

"How dare I? how dare you ! keeping me and my friends here you damn psycho."

He looked dumbfounded, apparently people didn't usually talk back to him but I wasn't usual people.

"Don't not talk to me like that" he shouted coming closer.

"Or else what?" I challenged.

He slapped me. that's right. he slapped me so I hard I almost fell

"That is ENOUGH! I might not have been in her life but you have no right to slap my child!"

Oh daddy to save the day. yay.

"I didn't need your assistance father."

"Aria hush, your mouth has done enough."

"Oh no little brother you mean her for all we know she could be my daughter or anyone elses that ex wife of yours did get around quite a bit, jasmine might me annoying but at least she doesn't have the mouth that one does."

I pretty sure everyone's mouth hitting the floor was an understatement. I would put a gun to myself if i was his child but everyone knew he was just messing around anyone looking at Luke and then me could see the resemblance.  I was just plain pissed.

"Fuck no. I am getting the hell out of he circus that is supposed to me my family. send me back to the crack whore please. as a matter of fact I'll leave"

As I turned to walk away.

"No one is going anywhere." jasmines father shouted , I didn't even know his name

where the hell is Maury when you need him this was beyond ridiculous soap operas didn't have so much drama.

"This is how it's going to be everyone is staying Elliot and jasmine are getting married and you "

He pointed to me

"Will shut up and stay whether you like it or not because I will cause permanent damage of you defy me whether or not we are related  I could careless really."

Now I was definitely finding a way out of here. I looked at Elliot and it looked like he was thinking the exact same thing.
