The devil 2
"Bla bla bla" was all I could hear nodding as my dad lectured me all the way up to the appartement!
The anticipation, the fear, the anxiety and all the negative emotions were all creeping in slowly.
I open the apartment and welcome them in, silently thanking God it wasn't a mess.
I take dad's coat and hang it on the rack beside the door.
" Anything to drink while I prepare the dinner?"
I ask them as they all seat in the living room.
" Cold Water for now." Dad says and I immediately turn around not waiting for Quinn's reply. She will drink whatever I give her and be fine.
" What about us?" Paul complains as he follows me to the kitchen.
" urghh, help yourself or die boo." I retort rolling my eyes though he couldn't see me.
I was planning on cooking my dad's favorite dish, my mom's special dish. It was her own recipe, some red rice mixed with spiced chicken and the taste, immaculate.
" How dare you snatch yourself a boyfriend and keep it from me?" Paul says pouring Quinn and dad's water.
" boyfriend? He is not my boyfriend." Even saying it left my tongue sour. Kaiden, my boyfriend? The audacity! "Can you like keep it down!" I whisper to him not wanting dad to overhear us.
I bring my dad's glass and Paul brings Quinn's.
Paul knew I couldn't bring her anything, what if our fingers rubbed? It's silly, I know.
As of now, I only had rice and vegs at home so I started getting everything out to start cutting them.
" So, pretty bitch and you still a thing?" I ask Paul to change the conversation. I was really not ready for any Kaiden or boy related question.
" Gross! When were we a thing?" He says making a disgusted face before taking a knife and starts helping me cut.
" What? What did she do? Cheated? No wait I got better, raped you?" I ask him with a serious face staring at him on my side.
" Bro what the fuck." He says in shock before we burst out laughing. " It was never that serious you know. We mutually took the decision." He adds after we calm down. Some chatter could be heard from the living room and thank God, I was going to limit my interaction with Quinn as much as possible.
" whew, I was starting to think this day would never come." I say smiling not even able to hide my joy and
He slaps my head in annoyance.
" ouch, what the hell?"I say rubbing the spot he just tapped.
" You can at least hide your joy sis." He answers me shaking his head.
Just then Bella enters and God, how I needed her. Though I knew how to cook, she was like the best cook I had ever met beside my mom.
I hear her greet everyone in living room but I get distracted by Paul.
" You never mentioned she got thicker." He remarks faking an offended face.
" Mind you, she still has a boyfriend." I say poking him on the head. He has always had this small crush on her like, I don't even get why. He was a player and she was like a nerd and very reserved.
" Who cares? We both know she be thinki.... oh hey beautiful!" He immediately says when she reaches the kitchen. He then rushes to her and gives her a very sensual hug.
" ew disgusting. A room please." I say scrunching my nose in disgust.
" We cut everything you need right there. I will take a quick shower and be back to hel.."
" It's cool, I will help her." Paul quickly feels in.
He was really being serious about this but I hoped Bella would behave, I mean Dylan was my best friend as well.
I stop and look at them for a second then mention I would be watching them.
It's not like I had anything against them being together but I knew my brother would find a way to break her.
I make my way to my room to shower and change maybe to a more girly outfit.
When I am done cleaning up, I join Bella and Paul in the kitchen and to my surprise Quinn had joined them too. I find her seated on the counter gushing about some vacation she had gone to, just before she came here and they all seemed interested. Needless to say I wasn't, she was purposefully flexing.
When she sees me, there's a moment of awkwardness but she blows it off continuing her stupid story.
I ignore her deliberately and just go on with tasks, helping Bella cook.
By six thirty we are done setting our small round dining table that was just between the kitchen and the living room with only six seats. I remove the extra chair.
After telling dad that dinner was ready, we all take our seats. Me seating between Bella and dad, Paul next to Bella and Quinn next to him which meant we were facing each other.
When we are all done serving ourselves, dad starts the conversation.
" So Bella, how is school?" He asks her cutting his chicken into small pieces.
" Stressing, but okay I guess." She says shyly.
" Oh how about you Ivy, is school too hard?" Quinn says looking at me with a sarcastic smile on her face.
What was she playing at?
I am about retort back but she speaks again before I do.
" oh my bad sis, how would you know?" She says faking an apologetic smile as she looks dad over probably watching his reaction.
He ignores that and changes the subject instead.
" How is the gallery so far?" He asks with a small smile trying to lighten the air.
I was barely holding everything in, I could burst anytime.
" It's actually doing pretty good, yesterday I was finishing this—" I am cut off by Quinn.
" Oh please, yesterday you were busy doing God knows what, you literally forgot today was," She says leaving the sentence hanging.
" Go on, say it." I say setting down my fork to look at her. I was burning inside.
"Forgetting what Quinn?" I scream, abruptly standing and pushing my chair behind me in the process . Bella immediately puts her hand on my arm in an attempt to calm me down but I was seeing red.
" First of all, you take back your seat." Dad says looking at me angrily then turns to Quinn,
''And you— ''
" No, let her. You want to kill me too? Here, use this." She says with a sadistic smile handing me her table knife.
I briskly lean and snatch her glass from her, shaking the table in the process. I hit the glass in front of her with a force, I thought it would shatter. The wine spills all over her but I am held back by some strong firm arms from my back.
My vision is blurred with tears but the anger I felt, was way bigger than the hurt.
I hear everyone talk beside me but I can't understand a thing.
I am paralyzed as I see my mom laying in front of me covered in blood.
