Adopted novel Chapter 39

They both keep pulling and I was starting to feel pain and I could feel tears running freely down my cheeks, "You are hurting me" I said to them weakly but they were both engrossed in who was going to get me that they didn't bother about what I was feeling, I looked at Justin who was trying to calm both party with the help of Rafael, Ava and Mils but they both didn't answer them. "That's enough guys," Justin shouted at them with anger making them stop their yanking "I won't allow you guys tear my cousin into two because of your selfish reason, can't you see what you are doing to her the pains you both are causing?" He screamed at their faces, only then did they both look at my face and right now am a crying mess.

They both made moves to touch my face but I pulled myself away from them and ran towards my room with my name being called from behind and people running behind me, I ran into my room and locked my door while I slide down the door and I could hear knocks but I didn't respond. All I wanted was breakfast and now I can't have that to top it all up am hungry and my arms are paining me, I can't contact my friends and those that I have here are choosing sides.

"Diamond it's Ava and Mils, please open the door" I heard Ava's voice while she keeps knocking "Am sorry guys but can I please be on my own, I will call you when am ready please" I responded to them "Alright then, we will be waiting for your call" Mils answered immediately "Take care of yourself cousin" I heard Justin call out, "Justin wait," I shouted getting up to open the door to be greeted by pairs of eyes "Bambina, Chouchou am very sorry," Lorenzo and Theo spoke together looking at each other with hatred in their eyes " Justin, please can you stay with me?" I asked looking at him. I asked Justin because he has been a good brother to me he understands me just like Cole unlike Ava and Mils and he found out somehow that I cut myself when I have my episodes.

"Definitely baby" he responded walking into my room while I shut the door on Lorenzo and Theo who also wanted to come in, sitting on the floor while Justin sits in front of me "should I get us some snacks at least to make up for the breakfast those dumbasses made us miss?" He suggested taking my hands into his while he massages it with a sad smile on his face "Sure, I think the fridge is stocked with lots of snacks." I smiled back at him, he stands up to get some snacks and drinks for us.

Munching on the first pack of Oreos I couldn't keep all the incidence I keep finding myself in away from my mind especially with my best friends not responding to all forms of contact am establishing, I was starting to assume the worst and having I can't stop the pain my heart is feeling and to top it all up the dining room incidence between Theo and Lorenzo. I feel lost and alone even with the people am surrounded by and with the place I am, maybe Emma and Cole are mad at me for not contacting them all last week but they should have checked up on me instead and I was busy with the competition week coming up but I know they will forgive me because they are all I have to keep my sanity in check.

"Let it all out pumpkin" Justin coos placing my head on his shoulder while he pats my back, only then did I acknowledge the tears that was dying to fall out my eyes and the pains keeps hitting me hard "I want Emma and Cole, Justin. I want my friends am having a bad feeling and I don't like it" I sob aggressively "They are fine Diamond, maybe they are also busy" He comforts me. We sat while I cried for a while then I fell asleep on his shoulder.

Opening my eyes, I feel the fluffy rug under me and my head placed on a breathing pillow looking at the pillow, it turned out to be Justin who is fast asleep while he put his arm around me and the other arm under his head, I wonder if he's comfortable in that position looking at the clock it reads 4:55pm guess we slept the day away, sitting up I feel a sharp pain in my head and shoulder joint guess my crying and the tug of war between Theo and Lorenzo just wants to pay a visit. I stood up to ease myself and wash my face, the image am getting isn't what I was expecting I was looking all worn out and tired with my eyes puffy and reddish. I feel another wave of pains wash through me and tears coming grazing again, sitting on the toilet seat I over my mouth with my palm while I sob.

I don't know why am sobbing but the pains am feeling isn't giving me a reason for my actions, I just want to be with my friends call me spoilt or anything I just want to be in the arms of Emma while Cole plays with my hair. The aches hit harder than before and I think am going to need Aspirin for that, searching all the cupboards and shelves in the bathroom I couldn't find Aspirin so I decided to ask one of the workers in the Villa.

I walked out of my room towards the kitchen passing through the indoor pool, I saw Isabelle and Kim swimming while they discuss I stopped to listen because I heard my name hiding out of sight I listened to their conversation. "Don't worry Isabelle, she will be occupied very soon and she won't even have time for Lorenzo for a while" I heard Kim say but what does she mean by I will be occupied very soon, "What do you mean and how will she be occupied?" Isabelle asked "I heard Lorenzo telling the others that Olivia told him to look after her because they don't want her knowing about the shooting that happened in West Prestigious High" Kim responded, "Isn't that the school in Florida that some gunmen attacked and what has that got to do with Diamond?" Isabelle replied her with another question.
