it was the next day at the sway house, and arabella walked to the dining table with noah, bryce, kio and addison.
"how are you feeling my little fighter," noah joked, arabella standing next to him.
his arm went around her waist, pulling her closer.
"my knuckles are a bit bruised and hurt a little but i'm good," she laughed, taking a seat next to noah.
"okay, so i'm sure you were wondering what happened yesterday. so i wanted to explain," arabella spoke up, her hands resting on the table.
noah took one of her hands in his, interlocking their fingers. he gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.
"so aiden and i dated back in high school. from the start of junior year to senior year. we broke up 3 months into senior year because things began to get really toxic. it started with little remarks every now and then, but i brushed it off. then he-", arabella started, taking a deep breath.
kio gave her a reassuring nod.
"then he started getting aggressive. he became more harsh with his words, making cruel remarks about my weight and what i wore. him and mia destroyed my self-esteem. they were both so toxic and always gaslighted me, they made things seem like it was always my fault. they made it seem like i was the perpetrator and victimised themselves," she explained.
"mia constantly picked at my weight and appearance, and not only that she would flirt with aiden constantly and he didn't even bother pushing her away. he even told me before that he just wished that i was more like mia," arabella gulped.
"who's mia?", addison asked gently.
"she was my best friend throughout high school. but she was cruel, and toxic and she treated me like shit. because of her and aiden's words i developed an eating disorder. my insecurities increased. i used to be confident, i used to love myself, i was such a carefree girl. but they destroyed me," she explained, nodding sadly.
bryce who had already heard this story felt anger run through him, he couldn't understand how people could hurt a person as sweet as arabella. bryce loved arabella like a little sister and would always try his best to protect her.
"whenever i'd confront them about their actions they would twist my words and manipulate me into seeming like i caused things. but i was too blind to even see what they were doing, i was so scared of losing either of them that i found it better to put myself through that instead of putting myself through losing them. i was looking through rose coloured glasses, i didn't want to believe that the person i loved had been the one to betray me," arabella continued.
addison and noah couldn't believe that arabella had been through this.
"then there was a day when i just finally decided that i had enough. me and aiden got in a huge argument, things were thrown too. and all i remember is him slapping me, and then i just snapped. i finally realised how bad they both were for me," she explained.
"so then i got up and left. i finally plucked up the courage to walk away, it was really hard. but seeing them again has made me realise how far i've come, it's made me realise that i shouldn't let them ruin my chances at happiness. i'm out here doing what i love, and they're forever going to be stuck in their cycle of toxicity," she breathed out.
"honestly bella, it took a lot for you to get away from them and were all so proud of you for doing that," bryce spoke up, giving her an encouraging smile.
arabella returned the smile.
"i could tell me aiden's words that he was trying so hard to get into my head again, and i wasn't going to let it happen. seeing him again has made me realise how strong i am too, and from now on i'm not letting anyone walk over me," arabella stated.
"i'm having a fresh start, i want to try to find myself and find the things that make me happy. i want to fall in love with being alive again," she confirmed.
"we're so proud of you bella," noah smiled.
"and we all love you so much and will be here to support you every step of the way," addison added.
"first things first, i seriously need to cut out the alcohol. seeing that bitch lor-", arabella started, but quickly covered her mouth.
everyone burst out laughing.
"um anyways, seeing her just angered me so i kinda chugged my two white claws then had another three when i was on the dance floor. so i desperately need to stop," she laughed.
"i like this new arabella," noah smiled.
"me too," arabella agreed, resting her head on noah's shoulder.
