Friday morning,

Adriana's pov

I woke up feeling lightheaded, my vision blurry, I am laying on a very uncomfortable bed.

WAIT?

I AM IN A FREAKING HOSPITAL!

When my eyes are fully open, I see mom outside the room talking to a nurse with a tissue in her hands, Kayla crying on the chair next to my bed and Sophia rubbing her back to calm her down, Ashton is seated on the floor looking at the ceiling and jerk face was sleeping on the long couch next to me his hand on mine, it felt good, I don't know why, but it did.

Where is dad?

What do you mean where is dad, he doesn't deserve to be here, he cheated on your mom. If he had the guts to come here, I would've kicked him out the second I saw him. I fainted because of him.

The memories of yesterday came back, I remember that I blacked out after yelling at him. How could he?

"I'm hungry" I whisper, that's the least I could do right now, I am really tired.

Jerk face is the first to hear me, although he looks like a zombie, I don't think he slept through the night.

"Adriana, thank God you're awake!" He yells through the room excitedly causing everyone to stare at us.

"Adri!! I missed you! Are you okay?" Kayla asks.

"Do you remember what happened yesterday?" Sophia asks and I nod.

"Adriana! You're okay!! I can't believe it!!" Ashton yells.

"I am hungry" I repeat and everyone chuckles.

"Don't worry honey, I'll go get you something." My mom says as she enters the room with a nurse.

"I don't want hospital food, I want to eat Chinese" I whine.

"Honey, the doctor said that you need to rest." She insists.

"I don't want to stay here! I'm okay!" I yell.

"Listen darling, I'll get the doctor and we'll see if you're allowed to leave." The nurse says.

"Fine" I huff crossing my hands on my chest.

"Are you okay Adri?" Kayla asks me.

I don't answer.

"Adri-" I cut her off "I am NOT FINE Kayla, so just, stop asking." I answer bitterly.

I am NOT FINE OKAY?

But my life is just way too complicated, it's not easy to open up.

Of course I am not fine, what kind of question is THAT?

Am I supposed to be like 'oh yeah I am fine, I just found out that my dad was cheating on my mom for I don't know how long, and my brother knew but didn't tell me, oh and of course the best part is that I fainted and woke up in the hospital but despite all that I AM FINE'.

Is this how you want me to react because no, that's not gonna happen.

I am fuming with anger right now, even if I shouldn't take it out on everyone but my mom and dad, I already warned everyone before, to leave me the f**k alone when I am mad.

"Adriana Jones" The doctor says.

"Hmm" I say carelessly.

"Adriana behave!" My mom yells.

"How dare you speak to me after everything you've done I fu**ing FAINTED BECAUSE OF YOU!" I yell very loudly.

"Adriana, we are not doing this here" She adds.

"Doctor can I leave" He nods.

"Great! I am moving out! Don't try to talk to me, Ashton either!" I shout and leave the hospital.

Great it's raining!

I am not joking I am not staying in what I used to call home, H.O.M.E is where you feel good and loved and safe.

I don't feel good anymore, after my dad cheated on my mom.

I don't feel loved, if they loved me, they would've told me. I don't think that finding out by myself is 'lovely'.

I don't feel safe anymore, if they were keeping a secret like this, who knows what else they might be hiding.

"Adriana! Wait!" I barely heard the person's voice because of how loud the rain was.

"You are drenched, let's go to my car" Jerk face says.

We walk through the rain to his car, I open the door and close it quickly, I am freezing.

Apparently jerk face noticed it so he handed me his sweater.

"Thanks" I smile weakly and turn to face the window.

He understood that I didn't want to talk, so we stayed in a comfortable silence the whole ride.

After 5 minutes of drive, I look out of my window and see that we are parked in front of my house.

"No, no, no, I don't want to go here, please, I am moving out" I beg him to take me somewhere else.

"I know princess, I brought you here so you could pack your things, you'll be living with me from now on, your know that you are always welcome there, and if you don't want to it's okay, I'm sure that Kayla or Sophia would let you stay at their house-" I shut him up by hugging him tightly.

"I would be very happy to stay at your house, thank you so much" I smile sincerely and get walk to the house.

I go up the stairs to my room and start packing my stuff in my suitcase, after I am done, I go to the kitchen write a note saying that I left, not mentioning that I am living with jerk face now.

I walk out of the house and go back to the car, when jerk face saw me he hoped out of the car and opened the trunk "Here let me help you" He says grabbing my suitcase.

"Thanks" I say my smile reaching my ears.

We get in the car and go to his house, thinking about it, it has been a long time that I haven't been over to his house.

The last time I was there, it was when I humiliated him and went to apologize, I actually feel bad because I didn't even apologize.

"You alright?" He asks, a worried expression on his face.

"Yeah, just lost in my thoughts" I answer honestly.

"I would pay a million dollars just to see what's going on in this brain of yours." He says playfully.

"Well, when you have your million dollars come talk to me" I continue with the sarcasm.

"Wouldn't miss the opportunity" He winks at me before getting out of his car to get my suitcase from the trunk.

"I haven't been here for a LONG time" I tell him.

"Yep, I know, why did you miss it?" He jokes.

"Oh yes I did" I joke back.

"So this is your room, if you need anything my room is down the hall, there are housemaids here, so if you want to eat or buy something ask them, and they'll get you whatever you want" He tells me seriously.

"Since when you have maids and servants?" I ask him.

"As you said, it's been a long time that you haven't been here, things have changed." He continues with his seriousness.

"Are you hiding something from me?" I blurt out this question.

He looks at the floor, guilt on his face for a few minutes and then he looks up at me seriousness back on his face.

I don't let him speak and say "So you are hiding something from me"

"Don't be nosy Adriana, I am not hiding anything, and if I was it is none of your business." He says coldly.

"Wow, I have never seen this side of yours" I say crossing my arms on my chest "If you are trying to be intimidating, well spoiler alert, you are not"

"I'm gonna go now, and Adriana, I am not hiding anything from you, try to process this information in your tiny brain" He tells me coldly.

"You don't have to be rude about it jerk face, it's not like you are a murderer" I say sarcastically "Wait are you?"

He doesn't answer.

"Jerk face you are freaking me out" I start getting impatient.

"There are some things that I can't tell you, but I am not a murderer" He tells me, and I sigh in relieve.

Jace's pov

"There are some things that I can't tell you, but I am not a murderer" I lie to Adriana.

"Okay, don't worry, I believe you" That's not good, I BELIEVE YOU.

She can't believe me, if one day she finds out that I kill people, she will never forgive me, first because she BELIEVES ME, I think that it means that she is starting to trust me again, and second if she finds out she will really never talk to me again.

I will lose her trust again, I am already way too attached to her, I cannot tell her that I am the Spanish mafia leader, the strongest and most feared mafia leader.

I don't know how she'll react, will she accept it?
Will she be afraid of me?
Will she never talk to me again because I would have lost her trust AGAIN?
Will she treat me like before or differently?

Questions by questions floods my head, what if a mafia leader finds out about my crush on her, they will probably try to hurt her, or torture her, or kidnap her, I will never forgive myself for that, if anything bad happens to her, I will always blame myself, she is really important to me, but this she doesn't know, I don't think that she ever felt that way and she will never, I can't love her, I can't have a relationship with her, she would be in complete danger, but this she doesn't know, I cannot be with her while she doesn't know, what she got herself involved in, without her consent.

"Jerk face, are you okay?" Adriana asks, cutting me off my bad thoughts.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I guess I'll see you later" I tell her before going to my room.

Adriana's pov

"Yeah, I'm fine, I guess I'll see you later" He tells me before shutting the door.

Okay that was weird.

I shrug that thought off and start unpacking my stuff.

A while later, I am laying down on my king size bed, well I think that it's a king size bed, and feeling really bored.

"Ugh" I groan.

I have nothing to do, usually I would be out with Kay and Soph, but I don't want to talk to anyone.

I take my phone out and check my unread messages.

Messages from Ashton

10:15 AM: Adriana, can we talk? Where are you?

10:25 AM: Please Adriana, answer me, look I get that you're mad, but mom and dad want to talk.

10:45 AM: Adriana! What do you mean you're moving out! Where are your stuff? You really weren't joking when you said that.

10:55 AM: Adriana! Mom is freaking out right here, she wants to see you, please tell us where you are.

I decide to call Ashton, I am definitely not talking to him, or mom or dad.

"Adriana, are you okay? Where are you?" Ashton asks from the other side of the phone.

"Ashton calm your ass down, I am not telling you where I am, and I am not meeting with you, you are my brother, you should've told me, you have no right to be worried or mad neither do mom and dad, they are the main problem!" I yell through the phone.

"Adriana, trust me, I would've told you, but mom and dad didn't let me" He sighs.

"Don't Adriana trust me, me, even if they kept you from telling me, you should've told me! The day I heard them talk, the first thing I thought of was telling you! I would've never kept that from you!" I continue my yelling.

"I don't know what to tell you-" I cut him off "Nothing, you have nothing to tell me, I am not coming back home, I can't stand you Ashton" I finish and hang up the phone.

When I hang up, the door slightly opens showing a curious jerk face.

"I'm sorry Adriana, I couldn't help but listen to your conversation with Ashton." He says entering my room and sitting next to me on the huge bed.

"No just stop it, how would you feel if I was listening to your private phone conversations?" I shout crossing my arms on my chest.

Look, now I think that you got it. DON'T TALK TO ME WHEN I AM MAD, I WILL TAKE IT OUT ON YOU, EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

He doesn't answer.

"Yeah, that's what I thought" I tell him slamming the door shut and leaving the house.

I just need my secret place, and a flying biscuit cafe meal.
