-Chapter 30-
~Nina~
I didn't know what was happening until I saw the photos. Trudy and Poppy explained everything. Arabella had kissed Zander.
"Mia did her job." Fabian mumbled
"What?" I ask
"I told Mia to get Arabella away from Elliott. Apparently she also pushed her into this full!" Fabian tells me
We hear thudding on the steps and I turn on my heels.
"Your here." Mia walks down towards us "why?"
"Have you seen these?" I hand her the phone
"Oh, no." She shakes her head
"What?" Fabian asks
"She found out I was talking to you and Nina and she got mad and went into the woods. Zander was the only one who could catch up with her, so he did. She must of kissed him impulsively..." Mia looked at us
"ARABELLA JOY RUTTER! Get your ass down here, right now!" Fabian yells and Arabella comes down the stairs
"Dad... Nina-no, Mum. Wait, why are you here?" She asks
"Why did you kiss Zander?" Nina asks
"You didn't, did you?" Arabella looks at Mia
"I just found out." Mia says, gaping at Arabella
"Come on. Were going outside as a family. Mia too." Fabian seems stern
Arabella and Mia follow me, who's following Fabian, outside...
"Explain to us why your doing this? Is this some kind of joke?" Fabian asks
"I was mad, okay, I was mad that you trust Mia more. You were talking about me with her, not me." She starts to tear
"Is this what this is about?" I ask, and she nods "Ara, it's all for you, we do this for you."
"Well guess what? I'm sick of "Team Arabella"! I'm sick of being protected from everything! From my own mother, for gods sake! Why can't you just let me make my own mistakes?!" She runs into the house
"You should probably go." Mia looks at us then runs inside
Fabian turns to follow but I catch him by the arm "she's right." Fabian reluctantly follows me away from the house
~Mia~
I ran in after Arabella, but I really didn't know what to do. As I entered our room, she was crying.
"Hey, you okay?" I ask
"Do I look okay?" She wipes tears from under her eyes
"Do you need anything?" I question
"A rewind button." She sighs
"Im sorry." I admit "I didn't know it would make you mad. I just can't stand to see my best friend unhappy..."
"I know. I over-reacted." Arabella bows her head "I should be sorry."
I start to tear up "oh, no, I think I'm about to cry."
Arabella weakly laughs then stands up and hugs me "I'm so glad your my best friend." She tells me."
"Me too." I quit hugging her and hold her at arms length "how about a Twilight marathon?"
"Totally."
A/N how is everyone? Sorry this is late, but I'm also now writing All Over Again (which you totally should read) anywho... How do you feel about Arabella standing up to Fabian and Nina? Nina and Fabian are starting to get to be not so...enemyish? I guess... Do you like that? Tell me! Love y'all✌️.
