Elena
I’m in my car, reversing fast to get the fuck out of here. I don’t care if Ella’s in the car, I’m silently crying as the darkness covers the tears on my cheek. She won’t see me crying. I don’t care if it’s those devilish Quads’ party, I need to go. I’m in the mood to drink my life to a stop.
Ella didn’t finish with her make up before I drag her out of the house, because one more moment spent there tonight, I’m afraid what the outcome would be. She’s finishing her make up as I start the car.
I don’t understand why I was given a whore for a mother. Jesus Christ, my dad fucking loved her, gave her everything, made sure she lacks nothing, and this is how she repay his love? By fucking his own very best friend?
“Trash!” I yell out of control, pressing the horn of the car. A car is in front of me and he’s fucking slow to move out so I’m venting out my anger on him.
“Elena calm down. I think he’s trying to pull over to get gas.” she’s looking at me like I’ve gone crazy. Sure, I am. I’m so crazy right now. I didn’t notice I was close to the petrol station and it’s normal to slow down a bit before passing through.
“Sorry, I didn’t see that.” I say in a low voice. I wipe the tears from my eyes as I try to fix my hair that got ruffled when I hit the horn button in frustration. Ella doesn’t notice because she’s focused on her phone.
I’m set for this party and ruin my life with alcohol out of frustration. Anything to make me forget what I just saw from that ingrate, I will do it.
I’m wearing almost the same gown as Ella. I told you, she’s this freaking party type girl then her dresses are definitely hot. As you can imagine how hot I look for wearing one of her party dresses. I don’t care if the weather is cold or gets colder as the night progresses, I’m wearing a short gown with just two straps tying the gown around my neck. Yes, my back is fucking open and the length of my dress reaches only mid-thigh.
I’m set to mess up tonight. I should be scared because it’s the Quads’ party I’m going to, but I don’t feel that fear anymore. All I feel is burning rage. Fucking burning rage that they won’t believe I didn’t do that. Burning rage that my dad’s best friend is a real bastard for real.
I pull over at the parking lot of the Quads’ mansion. From the distance, I can hear the fucking loud music. No cops are even going to stop them because they are fucking rich and they control this city. So if anything should happen tonight, no cops will be here and nobody will even notice because they would be kept busy and distracted with this loud music.
“I’m getting out first.” Ella quickly says, typing on her phone. She gets out of the car before I even get to respond. What a cousin I have. I watch her walk around the car, and I see her red panty showing from under of her dress. It’s so short that I could vividly see the color of her panty.
Well, mine is not any better. It’s a party anyway, and I’m here to get out of my frustration. I want to have a little fun. The last time I drank and had so much fun was two months ago before the summer break.
Ella hasn’t gone too far, and I can still see her back but she’s answering a call. I wonder who she’s talking to. I take a deep breath. Now, I’m fucking alone in this party. Ella left me. I text Ava to know if Ava knows about this party and if she’s here.
Elena Deloris: Best friend, do you know about the Quads party?
She sees my message and typing a reply.
Ava Marcus: Do you know about it? I’m there Elen.
I pause. Oh wow, she didn’t even let me know. Well, maybe she thought I would be too tired or scared to come to the party. I text back.
Elena Deloris: Where are you? I’m here too. But still at the parking lot.
Ava Marcus: Hey, I’m pulling over as well. I think I can see your car.
I didn’t text back. I quickly hop out of the car so I can find her. Her car is the latest Ferrari and it’s a rare color for a girl. It’s ash. Mine was a gift from my dad two years ago before he died. He gave me a pink Lamborghini before he left me. Maybe it’s a way to apologize to me before leaving but I didn’t understand then. I thought it was really a birthday gift. I didn’t know it was a goodbye apology.
No, I won’t cry anymore. I’m trying not to cry anymore tonight. I wipe the tears from my cheek as I wave at Ava’s car. She parked next to a white car and I think that car belongs to Riley. The cheerleader.
“Elena, you came? Aren’t you scared you’re in your enemies’ deadly zone?” she furrows her brows. I understand her concern for me, but tonight I don’t think I’m scared of anything.
The little strength in me, I will use to drink, thanks to Avera. I don’t say a reply. I fall to her shoulder for some hugs while I let out the cry I’ve been holding in since I was with Ella.
She stumbles a little as she catches me.
“What is wrong, Elena?” I hear her troubled voice.
“Ava…” I’m crying, I can’t force out the words from my lips. My lips quiver and my heart still bleeds. I cry out for a while, reflecting on everything horrible that’s been happening to me. The Quads torture is even yet to come.
This is a secret I will keep to myself. I won’t tell anybody, but I know I would continue to feel the pain because I’m not speaking up. And I won’t.
“I just wanted to let it out,” I pull out of her hold, wiping my eyes. Ava is someone I can cry to. I can’t even do this with my cousin. Now that I have let it out, I feel a little relieved. “Can we go inside now? I’m not scared, Ava. Trust me.” I say, trying to be strong on the outside, while I break down inside.
“Alright. I’m here for you, Elena.” Ava rubs my open back smoothly.
As we step into the mansion, the house is almost filled with students but I don’t see the Quads yet and I don’t see my so-called cousin. She might be around somewhere, I’m sure, but I don’t have the strength to look around for her. When she needs me, she will find me.
The true Alpha is the Quads’ father and he’s a fucking billionaire. He travels everywhere along with his mate, that’s the reason they’re not here tonight. The Quads are soon to be Alphas. By the time they are done with senior year they would take over completely. For now, they are just the arrogant rich Quads.
I’m here to drink my frustration out. I walk past Ava who is talking to someone. I head to the kitchen to pour a drink for myself. Then I saw Riley. She’s mixing a drink and I think it’s for herself. She scoffs at me first, then open her lips to speak.
“You are here? Enjoy the party, Elena.” she winks and walks pass me.
This is strange, she didn’t argue or curse at me like I expected or like she always does, but she says nothing more and go her way upstairs with her drink. My legs want to start shaking but I’m trying to be strong to keep my two legs stable on the floor. I’m at my enemy’s deadly zone and I shouldn’t expect any peace here.
