Chapter 2: Chapter 2
After Mariah told me what happened, I called my friends who were present at the event to confirm the situation.
It turned out Drew saw me fall and pass out then he attacked Eric which resulted in a huge fight... Now he's in jail.
Eric arrested Drew for physical assault. It was so easy for him to do that because of his money.
Luckily, my parents weren't aware of it and there isn't any injury on my head. I cringed at the thought of having to wear a band aid.
Here I am, leaning on my car standing outside the police station while waiting for Drew to come out.
I felt responsible for him being in jail so I sent my Italian chauffeur; Pablo, to bail him out.
In less than twenty minutes, Pablo walked out.
"Any luck?" I asked him
"Yes. Apparently this is his seventh time in jail since the past three months so the cost was a little higher"
I don't care about the cost. Money is never a problem for me.
"Go on" I urged
"He will have weekly meetings with his parole officer for six months and he is currently on probation"
As if on cue, Drew came out of the station.
"I don't get a thank you?" I asked him
"Why should you?"
He brought out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit it before putting it in his mouth.
Drew offered some to Pablo which he took.
"Pablo!" I warned
He shrugged
"Might as well be doing something while you two talk" he said then he lit his cigar as well
Drew walked past me like I didn't just bail him out of prison
I will not be taken for granted. I wore my $1000 Manolo Blahnik heels to a prison yard all for him and this is what I get?
"Hey!" I called following him
"Go back to school princess. You'll be late for class"
"Don't tell me what to do. You owe me a thank you"
"Nope"
"You are such an ungrateful piece of crap"
"You can insult me further"
"Why did you save me last night?"
He stopped and turned around to face me.
"I saw you arguing with that bitch"
"His name is Eric" I corrected
"I saw you both arguing then you tripped. I rushed to come save you but he pushed me telling me it was none of my business and that was how we fought. He attacked me first"
"All this happened when I was passed out on the floor?"
He laughed
I didn't find it funny. My dress is designer now I have to get it dry cleaned again. I can't believe I was on the floor for that long. I could have gotten a skin infection or worse.
Boys are so stupid
"I took you home" he said "then I found out I had been arrested"
"How did you take me home?"
I had to ask. I doubt he had a car
"I stopped a cab"
Ewww
"What the hell!" I shrieked "please tell me it was neat"
Remind me to disinfect my dress if possible. Only God knows what sort of insects have crawled in that vehicle.
He shook his head
"Anyone told you you're a drama queen?" He teased
"Anyone ever told you you're a troublemaker?
"Touché" he chuckled
"You saved me"
"Yeah?"
"What do you want in return?"
"What do you mean?"
I crossed my arms and looked him straight in the eye.
"What's in it for you?"
"Has it ever occurred to your brain that not everyone is like you? I can do things for people with no strings attached. Besides, you helped me pick up my books two days ago"
I became shocked. It was that little kind gesture I did that he still remembered
"I don't believe you" I squinted my eyes, trying to look intimidating "what do you want Drew? Me?"
"You?"
He looked confused
"Yes me. All guys do stuff like this to get my attention"
He laughed loudly... Like really loud.
I could feel my cheeks burn from embarrassment.
I find his laughter very offensive. Not that I care but doesn't he find me attractive?
"What's funny?" I questioned
"You. You are funny. You think I'm trying to get your attention? If there's anything I'm doing, its staying away from you. I don't need unnecessary drama in my life"
This is the first time a guy is telling me something like this. If he didn't want me, then what did he want?
"Well, you won't get girls anyway with that hideous scar on your eye"
His playful expression turned into a look of intense scorn. I gulped in fear.
He looks like he wants to hit me. I doubt he would, Pablo is watching us
"Fuck you Bella Martins"
"I will not be spoken to in that manner Drew Parker"
"But you can say mean things to other people?"
"I'm not being mean. Its the truth"
"You know nothing about my scar"
"I don't want to"
By this time, he had finished his first cigarette. He lit his second one and started smoking it
"Can I tell you something Bella?"
"Do I have a choice?"
"You wanna know why these boys want your attention? Its because of your wealth and your looks. Nothing else"
I felt like I had been punched in the face. I've never been spoken to in this manner for the past eighteen years of my life and as much as I hate to admit it... He's right
"You're insensitive, rude, proud and disrespectful. Apart from pussy, what else do you have to offer?"
Nothing
"You see this scar" he said pointing to his face "I'm fucking proud of it. I got it from doing something heroic. I may not be as good looking as the boys on your hit list. I may not have half the riches you do but I've got personality Martins and that's something not even your fucking money can buy"
Those were his last words before he walked away

"Why aren't you eating?" My step dad; Steve asked
We were having dinner but I had no appetite so I picked aimlessly at my food. Drew's words have haunted me since morning.
Its because of your wealth and your looks. Nothing else
Apart from pussy, what else do you have to offer?
Those words really got to me
"Oh nothing" I replied "I'm not hungry"
When we were done, the maids packed the plates and brought dessert which consisted of apple pie and fruit salads.
"How was school today?" My mom asked my sixteen-year-old brother, Gerald
"School was awesome. I'm trying out to be captain of the football team"
"That's great" Steve commented "what about you Bella? Are you trying out to be captain?"
"I will but cheer leading practice hasn't started since we resumed"
"I'm sure you'll make it" my mom said "it'll look good on your profile. You might even get a scholarship"
"Yeah"
Of course, Bella Martins has to be the star of the family. Nobody knows the amount of pressure I go through at home.
My mom's phone rang. I noticed the tense look on her face.
Whenever we have dinner, we always drop our phones in the middle of the table so that nobody gets distracted
"Who is it?" Steve asked reaching for the phone but she quickly beat him to it
It was as if she was hiding something. For a while now, her screen is always facing downwards. I know the signs but I just don't want to believe it.
She got up and went to the corner of the room to answer the call
"Why don't you kids go upstairs and get some sleep. Its a school night" Steve said
Gerald and I grabbed our phones and went upstairs.
As we ascended the staircase, we could hear Steve's voice followed by the screams of my mom.
"I think mom is cheating" Gerald told me
"Me too but with who?"
"I really do not want to know"
When I got to my room, I checked my phone for any missed calls or texts
Tiffany❤️ : Skype me as soon as you can
I sat on my bed with my laptop on my thighs and I video called her
In less than a minute, her face popped up on my screen
"Hey" I said
"You have big problems" she looked worried
"What problems?"
"You're trending on 'the eye' "
"Alright. Give me a second"
I opened a new tab and typed the website of the blog.
I scrolled through the trending section. I was #1 on the 'what's hot' list
My mouth was hung open at what I saw
My nudes had been leaked
