Chapter 3 III

Yelena

I don't really get the point of standing in front of the mirror in my situation, like right this moment because I'll I see is a freak, a monster nothing more nothing less.

She never denied the fact that she's a monster by now and all of that because of them, they did this to her, they're the reason I'm like this, they did this to her.

She used the bag of makeup and threw it at the mirror as she watched it shatter into a million pieces... just like her, just like she shattered after what they did to her.

The door to her room opened as her Dad stepped inside the room and started examining her to make sure she didn't hurt herself because... well let's say she has previous experiences in trying.

'Past'

How hard could it be, it'll hurt but it'll set her free from this hell she's in, one move, a pull of a trigger, a bullet in the head, and it's all going to be over.

She wrapped her hand around the gun and lifted it to her head but at the same moment her Dad opened the door of the room with her Mom on his side and with her Dad's best friend and butler, Andres but the center of the attention was Carlo as he said: "Princess, what are you doing?"

"I found the best solution for this Dad, " she said as she pointed at the scar with her free hand, and tears started streaming down her face as she saw him take a step towards her and she took a step back and said "don't come any closer, " and with that, he stopped moving.

"my sweet girl, let's talk about this, " she heard her so-called Mom say and she started laughing hysterically at her words but still forced the words out of her mouth "my sweet girl, oh Mom you're so funny, you even tried to commit suicide so that I stay with you and not because you love me... no, it's because you wanted to hurt Dad, " her laughs turned to cries at the memory.

"she did what? or you know what? forget about her... baby, just focus on me, " Dad said and she turned her attention to him as he started talking again "we can fix this, okay, I'll get you the best surgeons from all around the world and they'll fix this, " her heart was melting for knowing that he cares about her, someone cares.

"We both know it's impossible Dad, this scar is so deep that they can't even fix it, they can't fix me, " she saw her father's eyes start to water while she continued "I'm a shame to you Dad, " he shook his head at her.

"you are no shame to me, I'm the one who should be ashamed because I couldn't protect you, " Dad said but she didn't even listen to what he said, she can't take this anymore, she closed her eyes and pulled the trigger but in a blink of an eye the gun was moved away from her head and the bullet hit the glass as Carlo held her down when she struggled to get free.

'Present'

"I'm sorry I just snapped, " she explained to her dad who was still making sure she's okay then hugged her but she couldn't bring herself to hug him back because it's been a long while since the last time she got hugged by one of her parents.

"It's okay, sweetheart, just come on, let's get you to school, " Carlo said and pulled her with him and they headed to school.

She kissed her dad on the cheek then went to the school bathroom to check on herself before the first class started and as she was checking herself in the mirror she saw Rina and her bimbos in behind giving her disgusting glares.

She turned around and said "Yes, Rina, " as she saw her fists tighten at each side of her as she said "You bitch think that you can slap me and get away with it, "

She raised her fist and was about to hit Yelena and she closed her eyes bracing herself for it but she waited and waited and waited but nothing happened.

Yelena opened her eyes and she couldn't believe what she saw in front of her, Domenico was holding Rina's arm, stopping her from hitting her and he said "Lucio, " as he motioned with his head towards her then Lucio came to her side and was about to grab her arm when she shrank away from him and saw him look Domenico for help.

But before he could say anything Lorenzo stepped in and motioned for Yelena to walk in front of him and she was grateful he didn't get close to her as she went out of the bathroom and he waited with her.

"What is he going to do?" She asked but when Lorenzo stayed silent Yelena went to open the door when he caught her hand in a very harsh grip and she let out a yelp but he didn't move.

"She's been bullying you for years and now she tried to hit you and you want to make sure she's okay?" He asked as he started to ease his hold from her hand, as he stared at her, his face was so emotionless.

"I-I, " she tried to say something, anything but couldn't because he's right, why would she care if she's okay or not but before she could think further the door was opened as Rina and the bimbos ran away while they were crying as Domenico, Alessio and Lucio stepped out of the bathroom and Lorenzo let go of her hand.

She was about to leave when someone caught her arm and surprise, surprise guess who it is?

"Where do you think you're going?" He asked as his group started to walk away, leaving the two of them alone in the empty hallway.

"Um, Class, " she played dumb because she knew that wasn't the answer he was expecting from his next words "No thank you for saving your ass there, " she pulled her hand away from his grasp and looked him right in the eye.

"I could have saved my own ass there, so no...no thank you," she said these words and started walking away or rather ran away from him and why in the freaking hell is my heart pounding that fast.
