Blood Money - The Sequel

•11•

My eyes open, and the light shining through the window practically blinds me. I turn over, seeing Haz sitting on the edge of the bed, texting on his phone.
"What happened last night?" I ask.
"You got way too drunk" he says.
I reach over to my nightstand, grabbing the bottle of water and drinking it.
I quickly remember what happened last night, instantly feeling like crap.
"Want to go get breakfast?" Haz asks.
"I'm good" I say, really not in the mood to go anywhere or do anything.
He just stares at me for a moment, waiting to see if my mood is here to stay.
"You do realize I'm not the one who shot him right?" He asks.
I sigh, lifting my eyes to look into his.
"But you would have" I say.
"Yeah. I would have. You're right. Please explain to me what's so wrong about wanting to protect my girlfriend?" He asks, irritated by my comment.
"Because it's not fucking normal to just kill someone because they did something wrong!" I say. "That's not how a normal relationship works!"
"Well we're not normal Aria! We never will be, can't you understand that?" He asks, raising his voice slightly. I've never heard him raise his voice at me before..
"I shouldn't have to be scared of you killing someone over me." I state.
"I'm just trying to protect you!" He now yells.
"I don't need protecting Harrison!" I yell back. "I'm not dating you for protection!"
"This is who I am, so if you don't like it then why are you even with me?!"
My eyes widen slightly, did he really just say that?
"I gotta go." I say, grabbing my phone and car keys. I pay no attention to the fact that I'm wearing his sweat pants and shirt. He watches as I step out the door, walking down the hallway.
"Morning Aria-" Ezra tries to greet but I walk straight past him, squeezing my eyes shut to keep from crying.
I unlock the Lambo, getting inside and calling the first person to come to mind.
"Hello?"
"Harry? Are you and Sam home?" I ask.
"Yeah is everything okay? What's going on?" He asks quickly.
"Everything is Fine.. can I come over?" I ask.
"Course. Come on over." He encourages.
"Be there soon."
I hang up the phone, pulling out of the gate and getting onto the main road, driving to the twins' house.
Tom tries calling me, but I ignore the call. I don't want to talk to him either.
How can haz say that is who he is? When I first met him he went out of his way to show he's not like those guys. That he has a heart. Maybe he was lying..
I pull up to the old brick house, the comforting feeling of a family home washing over me. I get out of the car, and walk up to the door to knock.
"Hey" Sam answers, letting me in. The concerned look on his face only grows when he sees I'm upset.
"What happened?" He asks as we sit down.
"I got into a fight with Haz, and I just couldn't be there anymore." I shake my head.
"You can stay here as long as you need." Sam says.
"Yeah. We're here for ya." Harry smiles.
See. This is what I need. Normalcy. No threats. No drama, just normal people being supportive.

This is what my mum meant. This is why she said not to date. Not only is my girlfriend scared of the things I can do, but she's scared of me.
"What's wrong with Aria?" Ezra asks as I walk into Toms office.
"She's upset with me and left." I say.
"Didn't say where she was going?" Tom questions.
"No" I shake my head.
"Ezra go check our cameras and the street cameras. We need to make sure she's alright." Tom says.
"Yes sir." Ezra nods, leaving the office.
"What did you do to my sister?" Tom asks plainly, clearly unhappy with me.
"Had you not killed that guy last night this wouldn't have happened." I say.
"Seriously? She's still upset about last night?" He asks.
"Yeah she said it's not normal to kill people and then I made the mistake of saying that I'm not normal so why is she even with me." I explain.
"Mate you've got some balls, making my perfect little sister question a relationship with your ass." He says, almost laughing.
"I know.." I sigh.
Shit.. she could have so much better than me. What if she realizes that? And leaves me?
I almost want her to realize that.. I want her to be happy. She'll never be happy as long as she's with me, she will always be in fear and have to worry about me. It will never be a normal peaceful relationship like she wants. I am chaos. I am anger and pride and bitterness. But Aria.. she's caring, and loving, and.. perfect.
I will corrupt her. Ruin her.
"I followed her car through all the street cameras, she's at Harry and Sam's." Ezra says.
"Okay good. Let's make sure she stays there. I don't want her out on her own after those guys showed up here. I don't know if they're going after her or not." Tom says.
"So we just leave her there? They can't keep her safe." I say.
"We don't have a choice. I'll go check on her later but I think it's best you stay away." He says to me.
Yeah.. I think that's best too.
"Okay." I nod.
I walk down the hallway, to our range. Maybe shooting a bit will help to get some frustration out. I pull out my gun, holding it up at the target and shoot five bullets, all landing dead center. It doesn't feel like a victory though, it feels like an evil. I shouldn't be this good at shooting someone in the head.
Aria doesn't want someone like me..

A/N: I'm so sorry for this shit show but I couldn't help myself.
