ADRIANA

What the hell am I going to do?

I pace in the darkness of my dorm. I finally got rid of Carmine after giving him an excuse that I didn’t feel well, and then he dropped me to my dorm. Maria’s out with her boyfriend, so I have a few, precious hours of blessed silence and solitude.

When I think about my problems a few months ago, I want to laugh. A few months ago, all I had were a few debts, a crazy mother, school, and a dead dad. Compared to this, it was child’s play. I have threats hanging over my neck, making me so ill that I can barely move. On the way to the casino the other day, I had to stop to vomit in a trashcan.

My gaze flashes towards the mini-fridge where I know there’s more liquid poison to drown it all out. And it makes it worse, but I can’t stop.

Even if it’s destroying me.

I stoop down to my knees. Powerless, I open the door and grab the cool bottle of vodka. I grab the coffee mug and pour. Then I wince and down it.

It slips harmlessly down my throat. Water. Maria must have dumped it all.

Shrouded in darkness, I almost trip over the abandoned mathematics books from all my classes and my heart sinks. Maria lets me squat in the dorm, even though I’m technically not supposed to be here.

Goddamn it. I’m so completely screwed.

Is there no escaping this?

I’m sick of being his pawn. I’ve sacrificed everything and I let him control me.

Not anymore.

I have to let go of my fear and accept the possibility that I might die, and be okay with that. I chose this when I chose Vincent. This life is anything but glamorous. It’s murky and deadly.

Vince is going to do something. I know he is. I knew it when I saw the shadow in his eyes when I went to Carmine. He won’t stand for this, and he’ll be killed. He won’t see it coming.

But I do.

I can stop it.

Adrenaline sears through my veins, clearing my mind of all that foggy poison. The steps are laid out in front of me clearly. It’s so simple that I don’t know why I never thought of it before. I know exactly what to do.

My hand dives into my purse to grab my cell phone. I open it and quickly type a text message to Vince: Come home. We need to talk. - Ade

I won’t play by Tony’s fucking rules anymore. I won’t stay away from him. The monsters who destroyed my life when I was a child won’t destroy my adult one, too. No more.

It’s time to fight fire with fire.

* * *

I let myself in Vince’s apartment with the same key I was supposed to get rid of months ago. He never changed the locks. I allow a small smile to myself.

Nothing has really changed, except the place looks a bit messier. His clothes are haphazardly thrown in the laundry basket, which looks like it’s been piled up for days, and there’s a stack of dishes in the sink.
