(Ariana's P.O.V)
I was mad at Chris and can't believe he would actually say that about me. Well now I see why Demi dared me. It was all her little plan. I buried my face inside my pillow. I can't believe this Chris lied to me and my ex best friend is making things even worse. I felt more hot tears warm the pillow underneath my face as I cried more, until I heard a knock on the door.
I quickly sat up and wiped my tears away I walked over to my vanity mirror and grabbed a tissue and wiped off any makeup that smeared. I then walked over to my door and opened it, letting my mom in. She wore a worried look on her face then said.
"Ari, we need to talk about something important, but I don't want you to freak out." She said as she sat down on my bed while I sat down with her,
"Your um father...has been released from jail on good behavior." She said making my eyes widen. NO. He's a monster.
"WHAT." I said getting up from the bed.
"Honey, I'm sorry there's nothing I can do." She said standing up
"Yeah, but you gotta do something." I said. I mean I love my step father which I refer to as my dad has been nothing but nice to me and doesn't hurt me like my biological father did.
"I'm sorry....but I already warned Wade." She said referring to my step father.
"Please don't let him hurt me again." I said as tears threatened to come down. My mom hugged me tightly. But still with all the shit going on from this week and last week, all I need right now is comfort.
(Chris's P.O.V)
I hated taking notes especially since I already know half this stuff. I mean if you can't get world history by now then I don't know what to tell you. I sat in class just writing down whatever the teacher said, until I got a text from someone. I carefully reached for my phone so I won't get caught and pulled it out. It was from Demi..
"Wanna know a secret." It read. I rolled my eyes knowing she's always doing some messed up shit. "What." I text back angry.
"Meet me after school at my house ;)" It read, and if she thinks a wink is cute she needs to go back track her steps and re-fix that shit.
The bell rang and everybody grabbed their stuff and headed to wherever. Since I'm tall and can over tower people I saw other people. Including Ari. So I thought I'd take this opportunity to go see her.
"Hey Ari.." I said hoping she would be in a good mood.
"Leave me alone." She said walking off fast but I grabbed her arm.
"Why are you mad at me." I asked but she just crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.
"You played me with Demi...okay I get it, just leave me alone." She said walking off until I followed behind her.
"What did she tell you." I asked curiously.
"It's not what she did it's what you SAID." She yelled and emphasizing the word "said."
"Can't we talk about this." I said pleading for her forgiveness.
"Look I have a lot of stuff on my mind more important than you right now...so maybe next time." She said walking off again, I stood there helplessly wanting answers, but I think my only hope for answers is Demi... I walked up the steps to Demi's house and rang the doorbell. I looked around her house and notice the bushes all had some type of flower on them and the front yard was decorated nicely. Hmph to bad Demi's the total opposite.
Within seconds the door flew open and there stood Demi.
"Glad you could come." She said opening the door wider letting me in.
"Whatever." I said walking inside. She head nodded towards the steps and I followed her up the steps and into her room. I had this gut feeling what I was doing was wrong, yet on the other hand I feel that I might get something good out of it.
We sat on her bed but me already not wanting to be here I was already upset. I was then about to speak until some guy came from out of no where and then walked closer to where we were sitting at. He looked like someone...but I just don't know who.
"Well, Chris...I think we need to have a little talk." She said. But my eyes were going back and forth to Demi and the strange guy.
"You know I think me and you would make a pretty good team." She said smirking.
"What team." I asked. "The one were about to create....you see I know your mom's company is just about to lay people off, and she might be one of them...so I'm here to offer you a million dollars....IF you do something for me." She said, but although that is true that's what's happening with my mom what does this have to do with her.
"If what..." I said kinda curious to know.
"Well, this guy right here.....is Ariana's dad, but he just recently just got out of prison." She said.
"For what." I asked but she just looked at her dad and he gave her a head nod. I guess for an okay signal.
"When Ari was younger her father molested her." She said making my eyes widen.
"WHAT...ARE YOU BOTH SICK." I yelled angry.
"I wouldn't say that...but....whatever, my point is we know Ari trusts you and you see her father just wants to pay Ari let's say a little visit. So all you have to do is lead Ari on to the specific location we give you and then her dad will do the rest but you walk away with a million dollars." She said explaining.
"Your both sick." I said getting up and heading towards the door. Until she said something.
"Well, that's your moms house, and car and bills in crisis...and we all know how much you love your mom though, right?" She said giving me that signature smirk.
"Wanna make a bet on it." She said...I weighed my options...my mom will need the money, but is it worth Ari's life....
"Bet." I said without thinking, what did I just get myself into.
"Good." Demi said while Ari's dad just laughed darkly.
OMG, what do you think will happen next *gasp* but leave your comments below on what you think Chris did was good for his mom or bad for Ari....Thanks for reading :)
