In Love With The Mafia

Belle: 19, tan skin, crystal blue eyes, long wavy blonde hair, 5'10", shy, funny, sweet, dark and sad past. Currently in college studying to become a doctor. Dominic: 21, tan skin, light green eyes, curly dark brown hair, 6'5", mafia leader, cruel, mysterious, cares about his family more than anything. Chapter 1 Belle's POV I wake up to the smell of burnt toast. Groaning I try to fall asleep again, since I am definitely not a morning person. That's when my roommate and best friend Amber bursts through the door. With curly light brown hair and big amber eyes she is one of the prettiest girls I know. "Get your lazy ass up" she screams at me. She may look pretty and sweet but she is crazy as f**k. "Okay okay, calm down" I say tiredly. "Breakfast is ready" she says cheerfully and runs back downstairs. Great, another morning of eating burnt toast. I should really start getting up earlier and making my own breakfast. At the height of 5'10" I am considered very tall. I personally hate my height and have always wished to be shorter. I get up to take a shower and brush my teeth when my phone rings. I sigh looking at who it is. "Hello?" I answer my phone. "Hey babe" drawls a voice I hate so much. My boyfriend Adrian, the university f**k boy, an attractive person, only in terms of looks and not personality. You may be asking why he's my boyfriend? Well it's not really my choice. Adrian's mother owns the  university we go to, and he's pressuring me into dating him, otherwise he says he would get me expelled. "Oh hi Adrian" I say pretending to be happy. "I'm waiting for you downstairs, hurry up or I'm going to have to punish you..." he says threateningly. I gulp and say "yes sorry I'm just finishing up" and hurry up putting on my clothes. He hangs up and I rush to my mirror and quickly cover up a bruise on my jaw. I only apply mascara and a some lip gloss, as I don't really like make up. Today I'm wearing light blue leggings and a black oversized sweater with my favorite band Queen written on it. I know Adrian will get mad, as he likes it when I wear revealing clothes, but I have to cover up due to him and what he does to me. Amber is sitting at the counter eating her burnt toast with only butter. I will never understand how she actually likes that. I sit down next to her and steal a piece of toast since I am too hungry to be picky. We're already late since classes start at 8:30 and it's 8:15. "b***h we gotta go were so late" she says gulping down a glass of water and running out the door. I get up and follow her, only to run into no one but Adrian. He is only a bit taller than me, but still super intimidating. I look down and refuse to make eye contact with him. "Babe, what took you so long?" he asks with his annoying voice. "Sorry, I was hungry and had to eat something" I say quietly. By now Amber was gone, since she hates being late to class. "You're already fat as it is, you really shouldn't be eating more than once a day" Adrian says in a condescending tone. I nod and walk away. I get no more than 3 steps when I suddenly feel him grab my arm and throw me to the ground. " Don't walk away from me b***h" he spits. I cover my face and whimper as he makes me stand up. Before I knew it I was pinned against a tree and he's forcefully kissing me. He starts feeling my body with his gross hands, especially my breasts. I writher and squirm, unsuccessfully trying to get away. "Stop moving you slut" he slaps me across the face, making my cheek sting. "I need to get to class" I say and slip away from him running to the university building. I quickly go the the girls bathroom and look in the mirror. I new bruise is forming on my check and I sight. This isn't anything new. I always carry concealer in my bag, because he gets uncontrollably mad when I accidentally leave a bruise uncovered. I feel disgusted with myself as I remember his hands running across my body. I desperately want to take a shower and rid myself of his touch, but I can't right now. Once I covered up my cheek I fix my long blonde hair into a messy bun and make my way to my class. I try to slip inside unnoticed, but the professor sees me. "Miss Winter" he says, using my last name. "Yes?" I say. "Why are you late again?" he asks coldly. I didn't know what to say, so I just said my alarm didn't work. He gives me a cold stare and turns away from me. I sight and find my way to Amber. We are both studying medicine and this is our 2nd year of university. "Oh my god Belle, are you okay, I was so worried" Amber whispers to me. I look at her and she knows right away what happened. "Oh no, not again. Damnit I shouldn't have left you, I'm such a bad friend, this is all my fault." I quickly shake my head at her. "No don't say that, it's not your fault, you didn't know he was there. And besides he would've done something anyways." Amber looks and me with a sad look. " Oh Belle you don't deserve this, why are you putting up with it!" she says sadly, but we both know I don't have a choice. She leans in to hug me when we hear the professor's voice. "Miss Winter, Miss Johnson is there something you wish to share with the class" he says loudly. I shake my head, while Amber just glares at him. I wish I had her confidence. At the end of the class I really want to go home. I still have 3 classes left today, but I feel terrible. "Hey, you look terrible, you should really go home and rest. I'll take notes for you and tell the teachers you're sick" says Amber. I look at her gratefully "you're the best Amber I don't know what I'd do without you". It's true, she's always been there for me since highschool, she knows my past, and she's the only person I trust. "I know" she says jokingly, and I gently smack her arm. "Okay I'm gonna go home, love you" I say. "Love you too, get some rest" she says, before we part ways.  Author's note Hey guys, this is my first story ever. I hope you guys like it so far.
