Viktoriya's P.O.V
I sat on my bed with my computer on my lap. There was no way I was going to be able to write this essay with the idea that I couldn't google this Richard guy. What if that wasn't even his real name?
Why did I care anyways. Its not like I had any personal investments in my fathers company. I didn't even care about it. So why was this bothering me so much?
"Vikky get down here!" I heard my father call me and I huffed as I went down the stairs. What could possibly be so important?
He had an envelope in his hand and a large grin on his face.
"Yes?" I said almost annoyed. But not at him. At myself.
He handed me the envelope while my mother sat at the kitchen counter staring at me.
"Well? Open it." He said enthusiastically. It was then that I noticed it was from California. This could mean on of two things. I got in...or I didn't.
Taking a deep breath I slowly opened the envelope. After the word congratulations appeared on the paper I put the closed the envelope and sat it on the table. I didn't care about any other college opportunity I was going to Cali.
"Well what did it say?" My mom asked with the biggest smile I had ever seen her give me.
"I...am going to California." I said slowly. Then it kicked and I got more excited. I got accepted!
My parents congratulated me as I smiled and laughed. I was going to California!
The doorbell rang and I opened it to a smiling Alessio.
"Please tell me we are going to Cali together?" He said with the papers in his hand.
"Alessio..." I said slowly. His smile dropped.
"WE ARE GOING TO CALI TOGETHER!" I said yelling in excitement as he hugged me tight.
We ran upstairs to talk about our future in California.

Unknown P.O.V
I have them right where I want them and they don't even realize it.
I love the fact that I have them helpless in my trap. I can't wait to get face to face with them and ruin their lives the way they ruined mine.
My brother was foolish thinking that he could be happy. He can never be happy without me. I gave him the best choice of his life and like an idiot he walked away from it.
He and everyone he loves will pay. And I know just where to start.
Once she is dead he will have no choice but to turn to me. Like he always does when things go wrong. That's all I am to him. Some plan to fall back on. Not this time big brother. This time you will fall and you won't get back up and for once everyone will finally see how great I am.
I lit the flame and dropped it on the wooden floor of the restaurant and walked out, leaving the building burning in my wake.

Viktoriya's P.O.V
Alessio helped me pack the rest of my things into his back seat and then we got ready to go.
This would be a hell of a drive but if it meant getting away from here and going to college in cali then I was all for it.
My mom for once was teary-eyed as I got into the car. She hadn't even cried at my graduation. My father had and that shocked us all.
I said my goodbyes and got in the car with Alessio as he hugged my parents goodbye. His own parents were never really in the picture.
We drove off on the long drive to California in pure bliss.
On the way we made several stops looking at different places and trying different foods. This is the happiest I've felt in a long time.
"What?" I said looking at Alessio. Maybe something was wrong. He just kept staring at me. Almost like something was bothering him but he said nothing.
"Nothing I was trying to see out the window but your big ass head was in the way." He said laughing at himself as my jaw dropped and I gasped.
"Wow okay I see how it is ass face." I said sticking my tongue out. He started driving again and we kept laughing and insulting each other the whole way there.
-----
We got rooms in the same building and after getting our keys Alessio helped me get my stuff into my dorm and set up everything. I requested a single room but somehow still ended up with a roommate. Hopefully they were nice and neat. We can't both be messy.
I offered to help him but he said he could do it himself. We hugged goodbye as my new roommate walked up.
"He's hot. Omg! Is he taken?" She said immediately after he left putting her bags down. I just laughed.
"Oh no he isn't your boyfriend is he? Cause if he is this just got awkward." She said scratching her blonde hair with a frown on her face.
"No that is my best friend. I can introduce you two at some point if you want. He is totally single." I said laughing. I watched her blush and thought about all the ways I could embarrass her in the future.
"Omg! I haven't even introduced myself and I'm throwing myself at your best friend. I'm Melanie, nice to meet you." She smiled and held out her hand. I shook her hand.
"Viktoriya."
She sat her stuff down on the other side of the room and looked around.
"I hope you don't mind me being here." she said to me while unpacking and putting away her clothes. All I saw were short shorts and crop tops. Don't get me wrong I love a good crop top moment but with every outfit?
"Why would I be bothered you seem...nice" I said hoping I wouldn't later regret those words. That's the reason I wanted a single room. Sharing a room with a stuck up bitch was not my thing. I could be a bitch too but only if I need to be.
She laughed at my hesitation and just smiled at me. Something about the way she didn't correct me or mention anything about herself did not sit right with me. I hope she isn't crazy.
I sat at my desk waiting for night to come. I was gonna go out and check out the town with Alessio. Unless he already found some hopeless bimbo to hookup with. I wouldn't be surprised if he had.
I let my mind drift back to my schedule. one of the names seemed familiar. I'm sure it's nothing.
I started to unpack my things and I felt her staring at me the whole time. I didn't want to be rude and ask her what the hell she was staring at. We did just meet and I was trying to be nice but the constant staring was making me uncomfortable.
"Is there something on my back?" I asked putting the last of my clothes on the hangers in the closet. I did not want to turn around incase what I said offended her, which was not my intention.
"Oh no. Sorry I just have a bit of a staring problem. Plus your ass looks really good in those shorts." Melanie said laughing and looking back to the computer in front of her.
"Oh...Thank you?" I was confused. Was she complimenting me or hitting on me?
I decided not to dwell on it too much. It was time to go see Alessio before classes started tomorrow.
We were walking to the car when I noticed a familiar car in the parking spot near us.
I decided to drop it. After all, anyone could have the same car, the same model, and even the same color as Gio. It wasn't like his car was anything special.
We ended up at some party and like usual Alessio was quickly swept away meeting all these new people. Someone tried to hand me a cup but there was already something in it.
Never trust somebody handing you some random liquid. Especially at a college party.
The night seemingly went on forever before I found Melanie at a table by herself. We sat and talked for a little while and before we knew it the party was winding down and everybody was leaving.
My first college party and I didn't even drink. Oh well. It wasn't too boring I suppose.
Just as we walked outside a gun shot was heard and everyone went running and screaming.
All I could think of was if Alessio was okay, and he was also our ride home so I hoped he would get here soon.
I was regretting thinking that tonight was pretty boring.
As Alessio ran to the car and tried to quickly help us in, another shot was heard followed by a scream. A very loud scream.
"Shit! Help me get her in the car!" Alessio shouted.
As I turned around I realized the scream came from Melanie. She had been shot.
