Arabella Rivera
The bone of my knuckles slamming onto the bridge of his nose felt satisfying and........painful. I have never punched anyone before, but for a first timer I thought I did pretty good when I saw the blood gushing out of his nose.Snake's head jerks back as he yells out a curse. "What the fuck!!"
The woman that was once on his lap scurries out of his nasty room. "That's for making him do your dirty work you asshole!" I spat, loving the crimson liquid that trailed down his nostrils to the tip of his mouth before going down to his chin.
That was a very beautiful sight.
"What the fuck are you talking about you stupid bitch?" He groans as he holds his bleeding nose.
God, I hope I managed to break it.
"Arabella!" Gwen gasped as she runs over to me and takes a hold of my arm and tries to pull me away from Snake. I wasn't budging. I wanted him to feel as much pain as Haiden felt last night.
He deserved ten times wo
Arabella RiveraSnake chuckles when he sees Haiden's helpless face. "Didn't know you had a bitch Cross. You hid her pretty well." Snake smirked."Don't call her that." Haiden snarled fists clenched at his sides.Snake snorted. "This is fucking hilarious." Shaking his head slightly, his eyes fall on me. "I guess the plan B worked? Cross really didn't look like a guy who would slip."Anger steamed through my veins. "Fuck you." I spat. I'm well aware that I was at gunpoint but right now my mouth refuses to listen to my logical mind."Don't think Cross would like that too much." Snake sang in amusement. He was finding this amusing. This was a joke to him.Snapping his gaze to Haiden he spoke. "I'll let your bitch go and also the slut over there. Only if you stay back."Smirking he waited for Haiden's reaction. Which came quickly. "Fine."I gasp. "What? Haiden are you crazy he can hurt you!"Haiden's eyes snap down to m
Haiden CrossAs soon as the door closes behind Bella and Gwen I rushed towards Snake, not caring that the gash on my stomach protested and was in desperate need of some stitches."You bastard!" I roared, getting ready to wipe that cocky smile off his face until he points the barrel of the gun to me and makes a tsking sound."Uh uh. Remember I have my men outside. One wrong move and not only are those bitches dead but you." Snake smirked."You held her at gunpoint." I snapped, stopping mid punch before backing away.Snake rolled his eyes. "You lucky I didn't shoot the dumb bitch. I mean she was the one who came to my home unannounced and threw a punch at my nose. Clearly breaking it." He grumbles pointing at his bleeding nose.My girl had a mean hook. Unfortunately, she practiced it on the wrong person.I shouldn't have thrust her into my world. I was ruining her. I was turning her into me."She didn't know-"Save the
Haiden Cross"What is the meaning of this Snake?" Mr. Rivera grumbles boredly, removing his gaze from mine to pin Snake with a dry look.He didn't seem as shocked to see me as I was to see him. Never would I have guessed that my girlfriend's father was the main person behind the crimes that were happening in this town.Snake looked confused as he looked between Mr. Rivera and I. "He's the kid I was talking about. We need him on the streets."Mr. Rivera hums and turns his attention back on me with a look that spat 'I don't like you'. " Haiden Cross. Funny seeing you here." He says without emotion flicking on his face and walks into the room further.Looking over at Snake behind his shoulder he waves off his hand. "Leave us."Snake nodded, eyes seemed to be still confused as he closes the door behind him. Now it was only Mr. Rivera and I. "I was going to say the same thing," I murmured. Still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that it
Arabella RiveraI traced the entire room with my footsteps as I paced back and forth. I hadn't heard from Haiden in hours and my fingers itched to call the cops. But Snake's words repeated in my head every time I had the urge to.I pressed my lips together as my eyes draw to his window for what felt like the fortieth time. Every time I heard the sound of a passing vehicle my heart would pummel in my chest thinking it was him. It was never him.My phone pings and I nearly flew across the room as I land on my bed with a huff. I reach out for my phone, heart racing as I looked at who texted me. Disappointment weighed heavily on my chest when I saw it was a text from Christian.Figuring I should at least check to see what he texted me, I opened the conversation.Christian: Have you seen Haiden?My stomach drops and I take a quick peek at the time on my phone. It was just eight fifty-five. Even though it wasn't exactly extremely late, it wasn't the
Haiden CrossI felt like a dead man. Maybe I was. Or I would be.I felt numb to the core as I pulled up in the driveway, not wasting time to get out of the truck. I needed a long ass, burning ass shower.Seeing Snake's dead form couldn't exactly be scrubbed out of my brain, especially knowing it was Bella's dad who had done it. How was I to face her again knowing her dad's a murderer?I didn't even know what to tell her if she asked about Snake. I was sure she'd have questions. Especially seeing that I was unscathed.Fuck.Walking towards the door all I could think about is how she was slipping out of my fingertips. I didn't want to lose her, but it didn't seem as if it would be my choice. Was the universe conspiring against us?Closing the door behind me, I wasn't so surprised to see Christian on the last step. His shoulders were slouched and he seemed to be lost in his phone.It was like a routine for him to wait up for me. I
Arabella RiveraWaiting for him to message me was quite frankly setting my anxiety ablaze. I needed to see him, like right now.Not seeing him any longer would only feed my anxiety and worry. I needed to see if Snake hurt him.Walking out of my room, I run down the staircase and raced towards the front door. I wasn't sure what I'd do or say when I got there. I wasn't so sure I'd even be allowed in to see him. If Christian would be the one to answer the door then my chances of seeing Haiden tonight was slim to none.But what I was sure of, was seeing his face up close tonight. I wouldn't be able to sleep if I hadn't.As I run across the lawn and made my way to the Cross's house, my heart rate spiked. What if he doesn't want to see me? What if he hates me for putting him in that situation earlier?I bit into my bottom lip as the thought of him hating me sent a sharp jab to my chest. Still, I made my way to their front door only to flinch
Haiden CrossAs her head weighed on my chest I knew she had fallen asleep. I sighed, soaking in the feel of her in my arms. With the way things were going, I wasn't so sure I'd make it out alive.I had a huge target on my back and I had every intention of fighting for her, for us.But there's so little I could do when a gun is aiming for my head.My eyes drop to her head and I brushed the hair off her face so I could watch her sleep. Her nose twitches in her sleep and I smiled.At least I know I went down fighting for the love of my life.I snorted lightly. Who would've thought, me, Haiden Cross would rather die than give up a girl?But Bella wasn't just any girl, she was my girl. She was the only one to break through my barriers with just one look. She grasped my heart inside my chest without me knowing and never gave it back. I didn't want it back, it was safer with her.It was hers. I was hers.I trailed a finge
Arabella RiveraI hated taking the bus. But today I had no choice. Haiden's truck wasn't in his driveway, neither was Gwen going to pick me up seeing as we weren't on speaking terms.I was to be blamed for that rift I caused between us, but as bad as it sounds, I didn't regret saying those things to her.She should never have told Christian about Haiden and I. This wasn't her secret for her to tell. It was mine, and she had no right.As I got off the bus, I pressed my lips together in irritation as the students forcefully push me as they rushed towards the school building. I was sure it wasn't their need for sudden knowledge that made them so urgent. They just wanted to find out the latest gossip.Come to find out, I was the headline of the said gossip today.____My eyes scan the entire hallway in search of Haiden. I noticed his truck outside but I was yet to see him. But as my eyes continued to survey around, I couldn't help but not
