ACE
Dignities

"Aces?" I asked a little screamed, hinting at him that I wanted something.

"What?" Ace answered hissing from inside his room. He's been very angry lately.

"Not so." I muttered while walking away. I didn't ask because he didn't seem to care.

I know he's the leader of the mafia but can he try and be nice just once, will that lower his self-esteem?

I took out my laptop that Ace gave me when I first lived here. I wanted to sign up for a private school and I might have used an Ace bank card but that's okay, in the end he'll figure it out. I chose a school that specifically had a medical or health major. I can only hope this will be a year that is not full of drama. I waited patiently for an email reply.

I'm accepted. How am I acceptable? I've missed a million days, but I guess my grades make up for it. It said in the E-mail that I really had to attend or it would be forfeited. I replied with a thank you and they told me that my first day would start on Monday.

I'm finally going to do something in my life rather than just sit around in Ace's mansion all day.

I listened to music and watched a few movies before going down to eat. I've ordered some pizza and washed some dishes while waiting for my order to come.

"Hey." Saying someone, I turned around and saw Dante behind me

"Hey." I smiled at him before I went back to washing the dishes.

"How was your day?" Dante asked.

"good service." I smiled happily. I lied, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't ignore the fact that Ace was mad at me. Is it because I went to the club? Or because of what I said before getting into the car?

"Gosh my god." I accidentally dropped a plate into the sink so it broke

"Far away from the shards is ok." Said Dante, pushing me away with his body because his arm was plugged in a cast. I just realized if one of her arms is plugged in a cast, what's wrong with her? I shook my head while breathing out.

The door bell rang, I walked out of the kitchen, leaving Dante who was trying to clean up the broken plates.

"Hey Dante, you want to?" I offered him my pizza to go to the living room.

"certain." He ran to the living room.

Dante turned on the TV. "Are you two fighting again?" Dante asked nervously which was a bit suspicious to me.

"Not really," I sighed softly. "But I think there's something I need to get straight with Ace." I stood up, walked up the stairs and down the hallway of the bedroom.

I didn't know if Ace was in his room or his study.I checked his study and he wasn't there so I walked into his room.

I knocked on Ace's room door, there was no telling from the inside, but the door was unlocked so I decided to go inside.

"You used my card?" Ace asked while looking out the window with a backside.

How did he know it was me? "Yeah" I admit, walking closer to him.

"To go to a new school?" His words made me stop walking, his voice sounded angry.

"That's too bad isn't it?" I pouted at him. His position did not change in the slightest, still behind me.

"You're like a child." Angers at me.

"What's your problem. Is it because of yesterday," I hissed back at him. He looked at me. "Why are you like this?" I begged for an answer.

"It's me." Ace rolled his eyeballs.

"No. No. it's not." I shook my head.

"I'm bad." Ace is evil, he's starting to worry me now. "I just want your virginity but you won't just give up so I have to pretend to care." Ace chuckled while lighting a cigarette.

"I'm done pretending." End speech.

"okay." I shrugged my shoulders. His words were like a knife slashing in my heart, very hurtful, but I would not let him settle for hurting me, I would not show him that I felt hurt.

"I'm packing my things and I'm leaving." I broke the silence.

"You know what you have to do." He smiled happily. My heart ached as I turned around and walked to my room.

I had nowhere else to go, I picked up my bag and started putting clothes in it. Ace followed me to my room, probably to make sure I was packing. I knew I had only one place to go, I bit my lips to try and stop my eyes from watering.

I looked at Ace, approached him and he tried to figure out what I was going to do. I opened the lock bracelet he once gave me instead of returning it, I pulled the bracelet to a break, he had to feel a small part of the pain I felt.

Ace just looked at me with a blank look, I draped the bag over my shoulder, rushed out of the room.

Don't look back Sofia. Don't.

I walked past Dante.

"Where are you going?" Ask Dante.

"Where except not here." I replied angrily not even bothering to turn around. I opened the door and saw snow falling but I kept walking, it was already winter.

Before I went too far I turned towards Ace. "I misjudged you, you are a bad person, but does that make you happy?" I'm staring. Ace only watched as I walked to the gate and left.

***

I was so angry that all I could do was walk, I didn't even put on my coat and it was snowing heavily. I walked like a zombie for hours and finally reached my house.

I walked towards the door, my fingers turning blue from the cold. I knocked on the door but after I did, I immediately regretted this decision. The beating I had to endure because of Raul. He looked at me and his eyes widened in surprise, I don't think they ever expected to see me again.

"You're home." Raul hugged me but I didn't move, I couldn't feel most of my body.

"Is dad here?" I asked him while shivering.

"Yes." Yeah." Raul shook his head in disappointment. "But he's been sick all day in bed." Further.

"Sofia" I heard a weak voice shout .

"Breng*ek," Raul scorned as he rolled his eyes, taking me in.

I'm limping my way up. "Yes dad?" I muttered as I walked to his bedroom.

"Why are you back?" He shouted at me before coughing.

"I have nowhere to go, Dad, please" I asked him.

"Berlutut dan memohonlah." Dia tersenyum jahat.

As I thought, I don't even have any self-respect or dignity left. I knelt beside him and begged him to take me back.

"Now pray for my recovery." He grinned, knowing I hated this.

"I pray for your recovery." I forced a thin smile for my own sake.

"Bring her into the basement, disgusting shit, even her own fiance doesn't want it." His fizz is cruel to me.

"Quiet." My mother calmed him down, fed him with a soup spoon.

I can't believe Ace didn't feel anything for me at all. It felt real, the things I felt for her were real. I can't make it back to me. I'm still in school on Monday so at least I have something to look forward to.
