Bella POV: You know there should never be a time when a child can say that they hate their own parents but I can. I hate my parents with every fiber of my being. They sold me when I was 6 to the fuckin mafia. So my parents hated me so much that they wanted me to be a whore, a pass around, that weekly maiden, the per-hour girl, or whatever else you can call it At least I can fully say with my chest drugs saved my life. Take that rehab. Take that Grace. Hearing movement I look over at my left and it's Carlos. This can't be good. He smirks as he makes his way toward me. "Oh chica it appears you are all alone that doesn't seem right," Carlos says. Is this the part in the movie the girl makes small talk so everything can be okay "Yeah well you know roaming around," I say with a fake smile and he chuckles. God I have never believed in you but today I believe please help me "Yeah well chica let's not make this personal but your boyfriend killed one of my drug cartels and well now I need
Daniel POV: "Hey where's Bell" Noah says and I turn around to find him covered in blood. He takes one good look at me and his shoulders slump. He opens his mouth and then shuts it. He tosses his gun onto the floor and shakes his head "No" he whispers in disbelief "Where's Bell, Daniel" he yells now in panic. I turn facing the ground again. I can't do this right now. I can't. I'm trying to process everything. What she was right here. No, she was right here. I was going to take her home and get her a small car fuck I was going to do things differently. I was going to. I was "No I'm not doing this where is she" he yells walking closer to me. I weakly point my gun toward the cliff. Suddenly I hear the thud of things falling on the ground. Looking over at Noah his already running and jumping off the cliff. Everything dawns on me when I watch him jump with open arms into the water. This is more than just his duty. He loves her and maybe if I just let them be together she would be alive r
Bella POV:Waking up to Noah's pleading and air getting puffed into my body I gasp and I puke out water. Coughing I try to grasp what happened. Hearing the sound of seagulls and waves crashing I open my eyes and beautiful grey eyes stare back at me with so much worry"Noah" I whisper. He brings my body close to him and he plants a kiss on my forehead"Thank God your alive Bell, your alive you're here," he says rocking me. My head is pressed against his wet clothed chest but his body heat is keeping me warm"What happened" I croak and he sniffles pulling me away from him so his looking at me. He removes strands of hair from my face and I sigh at how caring he seems right now"We thought you died. You fell off the cliff" he whispers in disbelief and it all comes flashing back to me. I jumped to save-"Where's Daniel," I ask, and Noah sighs."I'm not sure I kinda just jumped after you," he says with a sheepish smile on his face. My eyes widen and I sit up"Why would you do that" I yell a
Bella POV:"Shit Noah call a doctor to come to check on Bella's head. She shouldn't still be bleeding" Clyde says and I snuggle closer to him. "Do me a favor Bell and don't sleep" Clyde whispers in my ear and I nod. Noah starts dialing people's numbers and I smile at his rusty Italian. Maybe I hit my head too hard but I feel at home with these two. They are my friends and I love them both. I almost died today and I'm busy throwing the word I love around like free candy"Okay the doctor is on his way," Noah says sitting down next to me."Food" I whisper and Noah chuckles"Okay, I'll go make some," Clyde says patting my back. He gets up and I sigh at the loss of comfort"Come let me run you a bath," Noah says standing up and I sigh raising my hands for him to pick me up again"So this is the real Bell a big softie," Noah says and I slap his chest."You're lucky I'm feeling loopy," I say placing my hand on his cheek. "Hey Noah you have soft lips," I say poking his lips. He also has nice
Daniel POV:Feeling a soft hand gripping my hand tightly I shift awake. I start hearing the beeping noise and my eyes open. I take in the bright lights of the hospital room and the strong sanitizer smell. Looking at the person next to me I caress their brown hair and they stir awake"Oh my god Daniel are you okay," Nina says her worried eyes scanning me. Nina. What's Nina doing here? I try to sit up and she practically shoves me back down"The fuck" I say and she apologies"I'm sorry your body is still weak and besides you should be resting," Nina says fluffing my pillow"Okay, how long have I been out," I ask and she stops fluffing the pillow. She sits back down and clutches my hand again but with both hands. I look at our intertwined hands and then I look back up at the ceiling"2 days," she says and I nod"Wait and you've been here the whole time," I ask turning to her and she shrugs"What nobody should die alone," she says and I cork my eyebrow at her"You stayed because you feare
Daniel POV: "Is this goodbye?"I ask her and she shakes her head"No, but I realized that this isn't our story Daniel. I needed you to be the person that I am today and I thank you for that. You'll always be someone I care about" she says smiling at me with so much emotion in her eyes"I really did mean to love you, Bella," I say. This conversation has suddenly made my mood drop to 0"I know," she says with a half smile"Are you happy with?" I ask nodding my head toward the door. I don't know what's happening with Bella but we barely talked these couple of weeks. I just figured we were busy but no we were drifting apart"Yeah uhm, I am. They are just my friends though" she says slightly blushing"They? I just meant Noah" I say corking my eyebrow at her. A smirk spreads across my face and she shoves my arm with a light giggle. "We're still going to talk right," I ask my grip tightening on her hand"Of course Daniel of course" she whispers against our hands. She places our hands back o
Daniel POV:Today is a gloomy day and it's pouring heavily. We have all these made men standing in the rain in their black suits and women in their black dresses getting rained on to mourn our lost men and most importantly my best friendThe priest has said his general speech about losing loved one's and now his calling me up to talk. Walking up toward the priest I realize that I haven't even prepared a speech. Everyone looks at me as I walk down the line of people. I should have stood in the front with the other friends and family but I just can't watch Xavier being lowered into the ground in a damn box.Finally reaching the priest I thank him and I turn to the crowd. Well here goes nothing"We lost good men this week. We will all miss them dearly but there was one guy here who is/ was my best friend. I met Xavier at a boy's Catholic school. I was 9 and he was 10. He was older than me by 5 days and yet he was the big brother" I chuckle remembering all the fights we used to have becau
Nina POV:I don't know what's happening with Daniel but I'm looking at the random girl in the house who's crying hysterically. Sighing I shut the car door and I walk over to her. The car blares behind me and I ignore it"Hey uhm where are you from," I say walking over to her and she starts sniffling"Kansas," she says and I frown. What the fuck is she doing in Russia in the middle of the goddamn nowhere"You're a long way from home," I say and she continues to sob. Crouching down next to her she continues to cry. The door is slightly open and I get up. Walking into the house I take in the rustic barn vibe she has going in there. When I walk closer to the kitchen the smell of stew and rice is pretty thick.Two plates are set out and I turn back to look at her. Who is she living here with? Walking towards the small passage I start opening doors. One is a bathroom, the second one looks like a study. My curiosity takes the better of me and I start scanning the labels of the books on the b
