hey guys, i am re writing this chapter as i was not happy with the last as it was too rushed. Please read it as it is introducing new characters. Sorry i promise it wont happen again , but i guarantee you that this chapter is better than the last one.

thwaaaaak

Came the noise of his hand palm connecting with my face.

"YOU ARE NOT GOING, AND THATS FINAL" my eldest brother sebastian shouted at me.

" WHY!?" I shouted back.

" Its 11 pm Clarissa, and i wont allow you to go to some cheap party" he grabbed my hand and yanked me forward so that are faces were few millimetres apart. "and also i am in control of you until mom and dad return,so stop acting like a 14 year old and go to your room this instant." He told me ver calmly, which btw was not a very good sign.

" but seb..." He grabbed my arm and hauled me towards my room before i could finish my opened the door and pushed me inside.

"clarissa i had a very rough day and i didnt just return home to find my 16 year old sister dressed up like... This to go to some cheap party, you are not going there and thats final" he said before banging the door shut and probably locking it from the outside.

So for now i was stuck in my room with jonathan my other brother and my only hope gone.

Sebastian and Jonathan morgensterns are totally different.

Sebastian has black hair and dark eyes

Jonathan has white blond hair and green eyes.

Sebastian hits me.

Jonathan never ever lays a hand on me.

Sebastian tries to control me.

Jonathan tries to control Sebastian so that I can live in peace.

Sebastian likes violence.

Jonathan is against violence.

Sebastian sleeps with different girls every week.

Jonathan is dating lia for the past 2 years.

Sebastian likes our dad Valentine more than our mom.

Jonathan likes our mother Jocelyn more than our dad.

the only thing they have in common is their love for their 16 year old precious sister clarissa,yup thats me.

To say that i am alone would be a huge understatement. The only people that i know are

1) simon (my bodyguard and bestfriend)

2) jordan (my bodyguard and friend)

4) maia (jordan's girlfriend who lives with us in our house so technically it makes her my friend

3) Sebastian ( my evil caring brother)

4) jonathan ( my second eldest brother, and the person that keeps my sanity intact.)

5) Jocelyn ( my beautiful mother.)

6) valentine (my dad)

I just lay on my bed trying to forget about the only part i ever have been invited to technically i wasnt SPECIFICALLY invited, it was an open party one where everyone is given a free entry, it was thrown by some person magnus it was not at all CHEAP as sebastian termed it.

20 minutes later

i was laying on the bed with my eyes still open, thinking about the fun i was missing. I was waiting for seb to come so that he can apologise and leave me alone for the reat of the night. Its some sort of a tradition he started. Everytime he hits me, he apologises. So i was waiting for him to come and go.

my bedroom door creeped open

"can i come in?" Came a voice from the door.

"NO" i replied through my tear strained voice.

He stepped inside my room and closed the door behind him.i felt him sit on the bed.

" clarissa, its not easy for me, you know that?" He asked me.

" Whats not easy for you?" I asked him.

" Hitting you and declining you your freedom.." He told me.

" I dont believe you" i told him firmly " you say this everytime"

" then why do you argue everytime?" He questioned i didnt reply.

" i Could not afford to loose you especially... especially affter val" he said. VAL, her voice, her smile, her eyes, her face, every moment spent with her resurfaced without my will. Why? I asked myself for the hundredth time, why not me?

" Dont you fucking do that to yourself" sebastian ordered me, clearly understanding what i was thinking.

" why?" I mumbled not realising that i just said it out responding he engulfed me in his hug. We kept sitting like that.

He separated himself from me and wiped my tears away which i didnt know were streaming down my face.

" Clarissa you are my responsibility, everytime i hit you, i hit kills me" he told me.

" Then dont" i told him.

" You are not capable of looking after yourself , everytime you try yo act like an adult, which you are clearly not , i loose it. I cant bear to loose you, not me nor mum and jon. We all care for you" he told me.

i couldnt think of a reply so i just nodded.

" soo... Goodnight" he said and left my room.

he thinks i am not an adult! I am 16 and a half for god sake. I can look after myself and i just have to prove it. Wait! I just have to prove it! And i will, tonight.

i opened my window and went outside. I never tried to do this but i have to. If i prove him that i am capable of looking after myself then maybe ... Maybe he will cut me some slack.

i went inside Sebastian's car garage, not mines nor jons but sebastians, cause his car is the only car which is allowed outside without anyones permission. After finding the keys of his black Lamborghini which were kept inside his tool box, hidden.

i started the car and revised my plan once more. Step 1 was complete which was to reach the garage . Step 2 was to zoom past the gates without alerting sebastian. Step 3 was to reach the party and call jonathan to pick me up on his way towards home cause no way in Hell i am facing sebastian alone tonight.

when i stepped out of the garage in his car the watman spotted his car. He immediately pressed the open button. The door started opening slowly and slowly. Suddenly i heard a scream from behind. I looked in the rear view mirror to find sebastian running towards his car while shouting the watchman to close the doors. The watchman immediately pressed the close buttons and the almost open metal doors started closing again . And without thinking i pressed the accelerator. If i crash now it would not go good.

On realising my plan sebastian started shouting " stop" " fucking stop" but i payed him no heed and zoomed towards the door. Everything seemed to be in a slow motion mode to me. I could see the watchmans wide eyes full with fear. Sebastian shouts and last but not the least the metal doors, closing.

claang

Came the noise of the metal doors closing, as soon as i reached outside!

i was free, i made it, i zoomed pat everything. I didnt stop, i just kept on speeding until i reached the party.i parked my car outside. And looked myself in the car mirrior. My eyes were not swollen but my mascara was smudged, my lipstick was perfect and so was my eyeshadow. I took a tissue from his car and tried to set myself up. After doing all i could do i stepped outside my car in my black skin tight silver dress whose neckline was a bit to low for my liking.

when i stepped inside the club i nearly went deaf. The music was high to high for my liking.

i made my way towards the bar and ordered myself a sitting there i observed my surroundings. The lights were blaring and people were dancing. Some were making out in the corner while some were shamelessly grinding on the dance floor. The club reeked of alcohol.

I felt uncomfortable. After all this hardship i come... Here? Why did i come her? What was the need to prove myself?

i got up and made my way toward the exit. On reaching the car i fumbled with keys when suddenly some one grabbed stabbed a needle in me, i shouted but a hand was clamped on my mouth. I struggled but soon found darkness engulfing me.

the last think i remember was my captor who clearly was a boy placing his soft lips on my forehead
