She was lost and so was he.
Who knew that two broken hearts can connect to one.
Arabella's world has been rigged since the day she was born. Her fate had been decided for her much longer before she even had been conceived in the womb. So it came as...

"It's all your fault." I whisper out in the silence. The earplug in my ear burning into my mind. I know people thought I was talking to myself which doesn't go unnoticed by Alexei as he speaks into my ear.
"Look at Vivian."
"It's all your fault." I repeat my words louder than a whisper but not loud enough for it to be considered usual. My eyes raise to meet Vivian's and I have to squint them in anger furrowing my brows in a way that mirrors anger. I showed the rage I was currently feelling for Alexei onto Vivian.
Method acting.
"What?" Vivian looks at me unsure, taking a step towards me and I'm quick to stand on my feet from where I was sitting to take a step back.
"You were driving recklessly. If you hadnt insisted on driving like some fucking maniac even after Luca had told you to stop, you wouldn't have skidded and he could have dodged the bullet. If it wasn't for you he wouldn't be lying there attached to so many fucking wires fighting for his life."
Everyone's eyes widened in shock at the way I spoke. The disgust, wrath, and heartache all mixed into a poisonous mixture that jumbled together like a radioactive chemical. Just waiting to explode.
Vivian's eyes filled with tears lining the already red of her eyes, it was the only thing that we were matching right now.
"Arabella, are you okay? You don't need to be going off on Vivian like this." Marco steps in beside Vivian and it took me off guard for him to speak first. But I knew that everyone else was still in shock by how I was acting.
"Repeat everything I say."
"Well I'm completely fine but Luca sure as hell isn't." My mouth opens with only the words from the man behind my earpiece. "And at least I'm simply using my words to express myself. Vivian only uses danger. Almost killing Luca was probably how she shows love, right?"
"Ara-" I cut off Marco with the shake of my head.
"Fuck off, Marco. You don't care. All you do is sulk in your little bubble of pity. Have fun there but out here in the real world we're all going through shit.'' It was a low blow. Lower than low. But it seems that Alexei had done his research on everyone. He was making me take down each of them. And I was allowing him to do it.
"I dont think youre thinking straight right now." Aria mumbles out her hand wrapping around my arm. I was keeping my distance from everyone but I seemed to have forgotten about Aria who had been at Luca's door.
"I think I am. How do you feel knowing that Luca's hurt because of her. The worst part, is that she could have gotten anyone else in this room hurt as well.'' Those words were mine. I didn't want to be mad at Vivian but I was upset that she hadn't listened when she was asked to stop.
We could have dodged all of this.
I hear Alexei's praise but I push it aside as Mateo speaks. "Ara, she should have stopped. We understand that. But we've all done reckless things. This one just had consequences."
