Someone Like Her (ABBW Book 3)

Back To The Beginning

Belle's POV

All I want is for this to all be over and to have a life with Kyle that I've always dreamed about and if I can get Rocco and Sophia together then – I wont be away for my best friend again. Not having her around much sucks and I don't want to leave without her. She was friends with Kyle first I get that but I feel that it's my fault for her living this life. Honestly though you can tell that Sophia and Rocco really have a thing for each other but this loyalty to Daniel is insane. I honestly don't see why he won't act on his feelings because it's clear that Daniel doesn't want to be with Soph and it pisses me off. Yes I'm doing this because of guilt but I'm also doing this so that I can make time go faster and get my head off of everything else that's going on and after how involved I got in everything when I was with Jason I really don't want to get into it like that again.

Back when I was with Jason I became blood thirsty – I became someone that I really didn't know anymore and having that three years with Kyle without being involved with any of that was amazing it made me realize that I didn't want that again – and being part of that world made me sick. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't want to die like this – I don't want my best friend to die like this I just want us to be able to have a happy and carefree life – it's what we both deserve.

I spend my days hanging around the apartment and talking to Sophia – I keep asking Kyle when we can leave but he doesn't know – not until everything is sorted. I desperately want to see Nate but every time I ask I am shut down almost immediately, so I don't know what's going on there but it's something that isn't right and something that involves all of this bullshit.

"I need to get out of here." I tell Sophia "These four walls are doing my fucking head in."

"Me too." She replies "But we can't leave without one of the guys with us it's just to risky."

"Rocco will come with us." I tell her

"You can ask him."

Rocco is sitting outside having a cigarette so I head out there to see him.

"Can we go out?" I plead

"Where do you want to go?"

"Anywhere Rocco we are so fucking bored!"

"Okay okay – we'll find something to do." he replies

The three of us head out locking the door behind us – Kyle and Jason are out at the warehouse doing fuck knows what, but having some space and getting away from this place is much needed.

The three of us decide to go bowling, which may sound boring but it's not – it's what normal people do and it feels nice being normal for a while. After a while Rocco's phone rings and he answers it.

"Yeah, there both with me."

"What the fuck man?"

"We'll be back soon."

"Yep okay."

Rocco hangs up the phone and looks at me.

"We have to leave." He says

"What happened?" I ask

"We will discuss it in the car." He replies

We leave the bowling alley and the three of us get in the car but we don't head towards home – we are going in the direction of the warehouse.

"Why are we going this way?" I ask him

"The apartment has been trashed and until we know its safe you guys can't go back there the safest place for you two at the moment is the warehouse."
