Her Father's Daughter

Adriana lay on the bed looking at the painted ceiling with her mother's favorite chrysanthemums and thinking. She remembered the days her mother would make her breakfast or come knocking on her door just to check up on her. Her heart felt heavy and her eyes grew wet from the memories but she knew that would never happen again. It's just her and her dad from now onwards, facing the storms together. "Daddy let's always tell each other everything, no secrets." eight year old Adriana said to her father. "si mia regina, no secrets." her father replied. "And padre you must never leave me, you promise." "I promise mia regina." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Adriana's POV. If I could take back the hands of time, I'd reverse the misery that fell on my mother. She'd tried to hide the pain away from me for so long but I knew that she was in pain, always. My mother was my everything, she was my friend, my partner, my confidant and my best friend. She'd always wanted to see my smile, she'd always been there for me. Oh death! Why did you choose to take my mum away? I miss her so much, she left us when i was only seven and ever since then it has always been myself and my dad. I am Adriana De Luca, daughter to Antonio De Luca, CEO of De Luca Corp. I've got Italian blood flowing in my veins which led to my tan skin. I tie my dirty blonde hair in a bun and walked into the bathroom to splash water on my face. At eighteen, I'm still my father's daughter. He knows everything about me, from the first day I saw my period to my crushes and my friends. He's practically my best friend and we tell each other everything since made the pact. I'm your typical hedonistic rich kid, I drink, smoke, club, just name it. I graduated from high school yesterday and tonight I'm going to properly celebrate with my friends Well I have four friends, Caden Black his dad owns an automobile corp. Emily Adams my crazy best friend, her parents are both lawyers Brittany Spears, the how of the group and her mom owns a fashion line, her mom's separated from her dad and lastly Damon woods, his dad is a civil Engineer and they build stuff. I'm at Emily's house getting ready for tonight " you should totally wear this" " let me see...yeah I'm totally wearing this" " okay Addy sit your ass down let me do your make up " "Yes ma'am" did I mention that Emily is freaking good with make up 30 minutes later and my face is reborn "should I also do your hair" "Yeah, Emmy the great" "stop f*****g patronizing me" "oh my did pumpkins just curse" "stop it I f*****g hate that name" "your mom is f*****g terrible at giving nick names" "tell me about it Addy" " okay and done" I looked at myself in the mirror " thanks Emmy " and I picked up the crop top and flair skirt that Emily picked for me and went to the bath room to change " Emily be dressed before I get out" and she gave me the middle finger. When I got out Emily was already dressed, she a wore leather skirt and a leather jacket with her bra in and ankle boots. " you are f*****g hot Emily " she laughed " you're not looking bad yourself " I wore my heels and checked my phone " okay so Cay will be here in five" *************************** I looked at my friends and I felt so proud; we had made it, high school was finally over " okay toast" I raised my Bourbon and they all raised their glasses "to finally getting out of high f*****g school" Cayden said " good one babe" Britt said smiling at Cay I turned to Damon " even though I tried to set those two up, seeing them dating makes me wanna puke" and he laughed, I turned to the love birds again and they were virtually sucking each other's faces " ewwww Britt and Cay are KISSING" and Cay gave me the middle finger, I took a drag of my weed before Emmy took it from and also took a drag " pumpkin your parents are gonna freak out, when they hear you are smoking " Britt laughed " I f*****g hate that nickname of yours " she said and laughed again " okay guys, dance and get high, I'll call you guys tomorrow " Damon said and downed his drink in one go " where are you going Damon" Cay asked him, what was on everybody's mind " just spotted a cute red hair and I wanna go say hi" he winked at us and walked away and there goes our man whore I turned to Emmy " 100 dollars that, it's that girl on shorts and that she'll go home with him" and she agreed " babe let's go dance" Britt said dragging Cay with her " Emmy let's dance" and I also dragged her to the dance floor *************************** I can't remember how many shots I have taken or even where Emmy and the rest are, all I know is that I am shamelessly begging T the best bartender in the whole world for one more shot " please T, okay I promise to go home after one, just one please " she looked at me and sighed " okay but stop making that face, it's creepy " I laughed and downed my drink in one go " I'd totally marry you, if I was a guy T" " go home Addy, you always say that" " bye T" and I wobbled out of the club, I walked I think for three minutes with no sign of a taxi, and then I decided to cross over to the other side as I tried doing so a car just suddenly appeared and was shining it's light on me and everything went dark, I think I died ****************************" Unknown POV I looked at the girl that collapsed like five ft away from my car, I seriously did not hit her, I scoffed and got out of the car, when I bent to pick her up, she was reeking of alcohol, I placed her on the back seat of the car and picked up her phone and purse and drove home I placed her on the bed of the guest room and turned the lights off I entered my room and had a shower, before going to bed but before I went to sleep I thought " way to go bringing a drunk lady home.
