Tainted Heart {Slow Updates}

Serena's POV

"Hi Serena, this is Danielle, I know its been a while, but I really need to talk to you, please call me back. " I look at my phone bewildered. How did she get my phone number? I bite back the bile within me, I look at my phone with hatred. Adriana told her.

I recall the events from last night. Adriana was a dear friend of mine. One I still kept in contact with. I had told her I would be visiting home, only for her to bring up my family, suggesting a closure. I thought she was joking and brushed her off but I guess she took matters into her own hands. That idiot told my sister I was in Toronto.

She was one of the few people I trusted and now she broke it. My anger flares up and something just snaps within me, I take the vase on my night stand and fling it it across my room. It hits the wall and smashes into pieces. I stare at it for a couple of seconds before I shake uncontrollably, I pull onto my hair and let out a blood-curling scream. This can't be happening, definitely not now. A mix of emotions passes through me.

In a flash of a second, my door fly's open and a presence is near me, I instantly know its Kazimi. He wraps his hands around me but I push him away. I let my breathing steady a bit and I calm myself. I need to control my emotions as much as I could. I will not show vulnerability in front of Kazimi or anyone for any matter.

I slowly turn around to face him. I could tell he was deciding on what to say, but I beat him.

"My sister called" I growl out. He looks at me slowly analyzing the situation and choosing carefully on what to say.

"Do you know why ?" he finally asks.

"She wants me to come to her wedding," I reply coldly. The voice mail didn't say anything about it, but it doesn't mean I don't keep tabs on my family.

 I know she wants me to come to her wedding.

"Then go to the wedding, " he says bluntly. 

I look at him with a baffled expression. I am not going to her wedding. It's been five years, now she calls me to come to her wedding, not happening.

"No, I am not going to her wedding," I am tempted to yell, but I keep my cool, there was no point in yelling at him anyways.

He stares at me for a while.

 "I don't know what you are running away from, but let me tell you, till this day you are letting it run every single part of your life, and it is slowly killing you, you are strong, face whatever that is hurting you" he says

He slowly comes towards me and swoops me up, I don't fight him. Instead, I let his every word seep in. He carefully places me on my bed and pulls the covers over me. He kisses my forehead.

"Think about what I said" he mumbles as he collects the broken vase pieces and leaves my room quietly.

I let out a small sigh, I wasn't running away from anything at least not from my good for nothing sister. I was just frustrated. I was only here for business purposes nothing more nothing less. I didn't come here to have a happy reunion with my family after five years. But luck was never on my side, she knew I was here. She was one little persistent bitch, she will find a way to talk to me. And trust me I didn't want to talk to her let alone see her and the rest of my family.

I can feel my head pounding and I didn't want to go to sleep again. I needed to clear my mind. I rip the bed covers off of me and walk out of my room. I need to work out, it will take the stress away. I make my way towards the kitchen to find the maid, hoping she can give me directions to the gym. I know there should be a gym in this huge house. As I make my way towards the kitchen I could hear giggling. 

Who the hell is giggling? As I enter the kitchen I can see Kazimi hovering over the maid. Fury takes over me, but I mask it putting on a poker face. I clear my throat and both of their heads snap over to my direction. Immediately Kazimi jumps away from the maid and her face is instantly covered with hurt. I slightly felt bad for her, but not enough for me to actually care.

"Do you know where the gym is?" I ask for both of them.

"It's on the second floor to the right, I will take you, ma'am" the maid say's quietly looking at the floor.

"It's fine, I will find it myself, and I won't be coming in for dinner" I reply calmly.

I walk away frustrated as un-clarity courses through my body. I enter the gym and quickly stretch. I make my way to the punching bag while wrapping my hands. It's going to be a long night.

I ball up my fist and punch the bag. A punch meant for Adriana.

Punch. Another for my stupidity.

Punch. For my stupid sister.

Punch. For Kazimi and that stupid maid.

Punch. For me coming back home, I knew this will only cause more problems.

I keep punching the bag over and over again. Every part of my body hurts like hell but I wasn't going to show anyone. I won't burden anyone with my problems. I created this mess now I needed to fix it.

I wasn't scared to go back, I knew this day would come. What my parents or family think was least of my problems.

I wasn't running away from my sister or my parents, no I was running away from something much bigger than that but that's not why I came here.
