What was it?" My mother turned to me fast and I saw Colton contain a laugh. 

　　"That we have the engagement party two nights from now?" I could have sworn I felt Colton squeeze my thigh as a warning. 

　　"Would you all excuse me. I need some fresh air." I ripped Coltons hand off me and rushed to the back of the house. As I went through the kitchen where a few workers were I found a bottle of root beer. Me and Weston liked the same soda. 

　　I walked out the back doors and let the cold air hit me. 

　　The bottle still had to be opened and there was no way I was going through the house to get an opener now.

　　I walked to the table close to the pool and put the lid on the table and gave it a good smack and pop went the cap. 

　　"You sure are a feisty little one aren't you." I jumped spilling the soda a little in the process. 

　　"You know when I said I needed fresh air I meant I don't want visitors."

　　"You really got a bad attitude."

　　"Only for you." I smirked going to turn away from him. 

　　Colton grabbed my wrist and pulled my body right to his chest making me squeal for how fast his movements were. 

　　"Now don't make me play the bad guy little one." I was pushing as hard as I could to get out of his grip and doing everything that I could. 

　　What shocked me was when he slapped my ass. 

　　I was mortified. No one had ever touched me like he was right now and I didn't want it. I couldn't help myself when my hand came up and went across his face. His head went to the side with the force I put behind my smack. 

　　I won't lie I was proud of my work. I went to move back but he kept his hands on my waist. He picked me up and grabbed the bottle from my hand throwing it somewhere on the lawn.

　　This is where all panic came to me. I didn't know what this guy could do. He was from a family of KILLERS!  I'm dead. This is how I die and my Damn is going to find my body. 

　　"I-I'm Sorry! Please put me down!" I cried as I saw him carrying me closer to the pool. 

　　"To late now baby." And the next thing I knew I was in the air before my body hit the cold water. 

　　Once I came up for air my eyes went to his cold gray ones. 

　　"You son of-" he grabbed my face and pulled me to the edge of the pool. This man really liked pulling me around.

　　"I thought I told you not to use those words." I was more then pissed right now. I felt nothing but hate for this man.

　　"Ruby!" My mother called as she rushed down the stairs with Mrs. Salvatore.

　　Colton grabbed me pulling me out of the pool lifting me by my arm pits. He did it like I weighed nothing to him. 

　　"Baby are you alright?"

　　"She just slipped. I tried to grab her but her heel got on some water." Colton lied through his teeth as he placed his jacket on me trying to be a gentleman. Lying scum.

　　Accident number two- he slips onto water right off a damn cliff 

　　"Oh well why don't we go get you cleaned up!"

　　"No I'll go myself." I pushed past my mother and Mrs. Salvatore going right up to my room. 

　　The rest of the night I hid upstairs not wanting to show my face again. I wasn't letting him do this to me. I'm sure he's got other girls that would want him and after we're are married I'm moving to a house in Florida and he can be with them.

　　Later the next morning I woke up. It was more like the afternoon. 

　　Once I got up though my phone was going off like crazy. I picked it up to see I had many missed calls from Eric and Ashley and another unknown number. 

　　I clicked Ashley's number first and she picked up on the first ring.

　　"Where the hell have you been Bitch! Me and Eric have been trying to get ahold of you for the past 5 hours!" Had I really been asleep for that long? 

　　"Sorry what's up." 

　　"We are going clubbing tonight." I rolled my eyes knowing I had no way out of this. I gave an excuse last time and she made me promise that I would come next time. 

　　"Are you kidding me...that's why you've called me over 100 times..."

　　"...yes now be ready at 8 we want to pregame a little at your house." 

　　I looked down at my phone to see it was 1 and that I had some time to get ready.

　　Delete my number 

　　"Ok sounds good to me." 

　　"Goodie!" And she hung up as I laid back in my bed.

　　My phone dinged and I picked it up to see that it was a text from the unknown caller.

　　-I don't like to be ignored little one.

　　Me- who the hell is this!

　　-oh come on don't pretend you don't know...I'm the one who saved you from your midnight swim.

　　All the blood in my body started to boil. 

　　Me- how did you get my number Colton! 

　　Colton- it was very easy. I had my men do a check on you and they found your phone number. 

　　Oh fantastic! He did a background check on me. Every girls damn dream is to get a background check on them so that someone else knows all the bad things you did. 

　　Me- you truly are a stalker.

　　Colton- aww I'm hurt... 

　　My phone rang with his number and I picked it up ready to give him a pice of my mind.

　　"What are you doing tonight?" He didn't even let me get a word in.

　　"I'm busy."

　　"Doing what exactly?" His deep voice seemed to get deeper when he was mad.

　　"That's for me to know and for you to fly a kite" 

　　"Tisk little one don't play games with me. I always win in the end."

　　"Well this one your not. Stay away from me and delete my number like I'm doing to yours after I end this call."

　　7 o'clock came faster then wanted. I had to start getting ready and figure out what it was I was going to wear.

　　As I was finishing up my makeup I could hear Eric's car make its way down our driveway. I grabbed my heels and ran down the stairs to let them in.

　　"Oh my god I have seen you in days!" Ashley screamed as she pulled me into a hug. Eric came in behind her pulling me into one next.

　　"Hey Sunshine." He smiled down at me making me happy. 

　　"Hey." 

　　"Ok we need drinks and fast!" Ash made her way into the living room to the bar. She knew were to get them.

　　I took Eric's hand and pulled him along with me. 

　　Your probably wondering what are me and him. Well right now I wish I could tell you. 

　　We were so close before I went off to boarding school. I always had a crush on him and the day before I left I told him. He reacted funny actually. 

　　He started stumbling with his words but soon he got it out that he liked me to. Then when I came back a while ago we picked things up where we left them.

　　We knew we each had feeling for each other but no one did a thing about it. That and he's Ashley's brother so I don't think I could do that to her if we ever broke up. 

　　For now I liked how things were. We were happy and safe and nothing was wrong. 

　　"You guys going out tonight?" Kegan asked as we all came into the living room. He was sitting there on his phone.

　　"Yeah you want to come?" Eric asked. I'm sure he would like to not be the only guy.

　　"Yeah you want to come?" Eric asked. I'm sure he would like to not be the only guy. 

　　"Yeah I'll go get changed" he got up and ran off to his room. 

　　"So tell me what has happened in the past few days that you have been so rudely ignoring me." Ash sat down next to me at the bar poring me and Eric each a shot.

　　"Hell that's what!" I took the shot fast with Eric not to far behind me.

　　"How so?" 

　　"Well for starters my parents want me to get married." I could feel Eric's eyes on me now. Ash grabbed my arm with a squeal.

　　"Is he good looking!"

　　"Ash! Do you hear what your asking! Do you know how crazy this is!"

　　She rolled her eyes at me and continued. 

　　"He can't be that bad. I'm sure he's really good looking and you just don't want to tell your best friend."

　　"Doesn't matter...I'm not going along with it." I pored us all another one and we took it.

　　"I-I-" before I could even get words out of my mouth Eric was being pulled from me. 

　　Later that night we were all at the 2nd club of the night. How the hell we got there I will never know. All I know was me and Eric we're together dancing. He had his arms around my waist and mine around his neck. 

　　"ERIC!" I went to go for him but my body was grabbed. I turned fast to see the guy that had punched him was none other then the asshole himself.

　　I felt his lips on my neck and I leaned my head back letting him in. I don't know what came over me but I was suddenly ok with this. 

　　"LET ME GO!" Everyone had started to watch now like we were crazy. The one holding me back totally was. 

　　"God Ruby." He sighed Into my neck pulling me closer as we danced.

　　"Ruby!" I turned to see Kegan running to me and before I knew what was happening Colton pulled a gun out putting it to him.

　　"I win" he whispered into my ear making me remember what he had said to me earlier. 

　　"STOP!" I cried now feeling the tears fall from my face.

　　I win 

　　"You fucker! Let my sister go!" I watched Ash rush over to Eric and help him up. That made me feel better knowing he was ok.

　　"In case you haven't known this is my club... I think I'm gonna have to ask you guys to leave." 

　　How did we not know this was one of his clubs! It's not like it was on the sign outside! Hell I would have ran so far away from here if I knew! 

　　I tried to pull away from him but he wouldn't budge.

　　"My sister comes with us."
