The Stubborn One

Episode 4

I was awakened by the sound of someone knocking on some door repeatedly and I swear I wanted to cry, my head hurts so freaking much, my hangover is so bad I wanna cry.

I reluctantly get out of bed to and open my bedroom door, I don’t even remember getting home, as I look around I see Allison and Lizzie also getting out of their rooms.

“If you guys are here who’s knocking?” Lizzie asked confused then turning around to hug Ruby who was behind her.

Allison’s brown hair is a mess and so is Lizzie near blond hair, I can only expect mine to be just as bad, the only person who looks neat is Ruby, her brown curls following perfectly, Ruby’s mums is African so Ruby got her beautiful dark skin and curls which she always has brushed to perfection.

No one seemed to make a move to open the door so I went to open it.

“Princess.” My dad said and I stepped back allowing him in.

“Dad what are you doing here?” I asked confused and looked around to see that the girls were just as confused.

“No hi dad how are you?” Dad asked and I smiled.

“Hi dad.” I said.

“Hello girls.” Dad said to the girls.

“Hi uncle Oliver.” Allison and Lizzie said, since dad and Allison’s and Lizzie’s dad are best friends as close as brothers we grew up as cousins and like they call my dad uncle Oliver I call their dad uncle Jack.

“Hello Boss.” Ruby said, dad has tried to tell Ruby as she’s such a close person to the family she can call him by his name but she refused and said she’d feel like she was disrespecting him if she did.

“Dad what are you doing here? Is mum and Ethan ok?” I asked slightly panicking.

“Everything is ok, your mum and Ethan are fine, I heard that you won the race yesterday, I never doubted you would but I came to say congrats, I however expected for you all to already be awake as it’s 3 in the afternoon.” Dad said and gave us all a look as in I know that you all got pissed drunk.

“Thanks dad.” I said and gave him a hug.

“Is that all?” I asked when I saw his thinking face.

“Well no, I came to tell you to pack up as you will be going to your training, I had been looking for a place for some time and I came across an old friend who wouldn’t mind taking you on, Allison and Lizzie will be leaving for their training not long after too.” Dad said and we all just froze.

“Where.” Lizzie asked.

“Lizzie you will be going to the Bloody Roses in New York, my niece Alex is more than happy to take you on for the training, Ruby you are allowed to go with Lizzie and work for the Bloody Roses while Lizzie trains, you will do the same jobs you do here. Allison you will go to one of our alliance gangs in Florida they are very cautious in safety and your dad thought it would be the best place for you.” Dad said to the girls and they all nodded happy with the plans.

“Dad where am I training.” I asked as he still hadn’t told me where I’d be training.

“Well Ella I the place I found you has a massive race track that they throw actual races every weekend, works a bit like the underground, you can compete if you want to but if not you can just train during the week as there’s no competition.” Dad said and I smiled as that seemed pretty awesome. Dad continued, “The Italian mafia.” 

“WHAT!” I screamed making my own head hurt from my hangover.

“Ella calm down.” Dad said sternly and I took a deep breath.

“What am I suppose to do in Italy, I don’t speak Italian and what good is me training at a mafia if I’m going to take over a gang.” I said feeling really pissed.

“Alex going to train at a mafia will only benefit you especially because you will learn so much from being there.” Dad said emotion out of his voice, he does this when he’s talking and means business.

“What did mum say about this?” I asked hoping my my could get me out of this situation.

“Your mum agreed as she knows that it’s the best thing for you.” Dad said and then got up off the sofa and headed to the door.

“Ella I know you don’t agree with this but if you want to step up you have to go.” And then he left.

I took 3 deep breaths before realising that that wasn’t working so I screamed and screamed until I felt slightly better.

“It’s ok.” Allison said and then came next to me and hugged me, Lizzie and Ruby joining soon after.

“After the training we will all come back home and step up to our places in the gang and we will be the be the baddest bitches around.” Lizzie said making us all laugh.

“I don’t even speak Italian.” I whined and the girls laughed again I soon joined them.

“We are all fucked.” Lizzie said.

The rest of the day we talked out what we would do with the apartment when we are all away, we will leave the keys with my mum and she can come check on the apartment every now and again.

Then we ate ice cream, tubs and tubs of ice cream.

The is the first time in 14 years we won’t be together and that’s gonna be weird, even though when I’m with these crazy bitches my life is weird too.
