"Isabella, are you alright?" AJ asked concerned for her. "You're mind has been somewhere else ever since dinner."
He didn't want to upset her by just coming out and saying it was Alivia.
"Hm? No, I'm fine. Just a little dazed I guess. And tired."
"If you're tired, we can go home." He suggested.
"No, it's okay. Really I'm fine. Let's just go to the club and have ourselves a smashing good time!" She said with a fake british accent. AJ laughed at her attempt to be English.
"Alright, just promise me one thing."
"Sure."
"You won't talk in anymore funny accents. It's weirding me out."
Isabella smiled and hit him with a pillow.
"Hey you guys!" Justin greeted them as soon as they were in the club. He had his arm around Alivia's waist and she smiled snottily at Isabella who tried her best to ignore her.
"Hey you two. Didn't know you would be here" AJ said glancing at Isabella. She smiled at him.
"Say, Alivia, could I have a word with you outside? Excuse me honey but Alivia and I have some unfinished business we need to resolve." She kissed AJ on the lips before her and Alivia walked out a back way. They stood in an ally.
"OK, what do you want? It's freezing out here" Alivia complained.
"How the hell did you drink the water at Claudia's? You were never rich enough to afford it!"
"Everyone
comes with a different price Isabella! And yes, it cost me nearly everything
I had! Not that
there was much! You stole my boyfriend from me!"
"I didn't steal him! He went to me!"
"Oh right. And you couldn't say no? you didn't even love him Isabella! I did!"
"I loved him!"
"Not true!"
"It is! I loved him until he was unbearable. You saw what he was like back then in 1940!"
"You stole him and you'll try to take Justin too!"
Isabella stared at her disgusted, "Why in GOD'S NAME would I want Justin?! I have my own boyfriend and I love him to death!"
"Yeah, till his death because what are you going to tell him when he starts to age and-oh gosh, you still looked 22 Isabella! What are you going to say then?"
"You
bitch! I'll kill you!" Isabella grabbed an iron rod that was on the ground
next to her. She swung at Alivia and missed. Alivia in return picked up
a broken bottle as her weapon. As the two swung at each other and yelled
insults, Justin and AJ came out to the ally. Horrified at what they saw,
tried to break it
up. They couldn't get near the two. Instead they
had to watch in horror as the two women battled each other
with a bottle and a crow bar.
Isabella suddenly struck Alivia in the head and she fell. Gasping, Justin rushed to her side. He looked up at Isabella.
"You killed her! You bitch!"
"I
didn't kill her!" Isabella spat back. Alivia suddenly got up. Just backed
away in awe. Holding her
head, Alivia stared at Isabella.
"You're going to pay for that you whore!" She said taking up her bottle again. Isabella defended herself with rage.
"Wait!" Isabella suddenly cried out. Alivia paused.
"Look at us! Just look at us Alivia! We can't kill eachother! We can't even inflict pain! This pointless!"
Alivia lowered her weapon.
"Alright, I don't know WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE-BUT I WANT SOME ANSWERS!" AJ suddenly yelled. The two looked at him.
"Alright, Let's go back to the hotel" Isabella replied.
"Yeah,
you're right. Maybe if we talk this out, then we'll feel better" Alivia
was suddenly tired of
fighting.
"I doubt it" Isabella said low enough so no one could hear.
After getting Monique, the five settled in AJ's room. AJ crossed his arms, "Ok, start explaining."
"Well, it all started in 1910 with Alivia's boyfriend Justin- "
"Wait what do you mean in 1910????" Justin spat out.
"Just shut up and listen ok?" Isabella impatiently said.
Alivia agreed, "Yeah, just listen for now, you'll have all your answers."
"So anyway Alivia was with this guy named Justin and"
"And you stole him from me."
"Alivia, I did not steal him from you."
"You did just because you could!"
"No I-"
"Look me in the eye and say it Isabella."
Isabella
glared at her, "I did not-oh Alivia you're right! I'm sorry I never meant
to but I hated the way
you were so perfect!" Isabella said in tears.
Alivia gasped, "Me? You were jealous of me?"
"Yeah,
you had your mother and your father and your brother! I only had my sisters
to rely on. And poor Biannca never even knew them. I only took Justin to
make you feel pain and rejection like I felt!"
"Oh, Isabella, I had no idea. If I had, I wouldn't have tried to kill you
and-"
"Kill me? You were planning to kill me?"
She shrugged, "And Justin, but I guess he did that for me, didn't he?"
Isabella shook her head, "So in 1940, when you showed up-"
"Yeah, that was all part of my master plan to get revenge on you."
"Oh.
Alivia, I'll make a deal with you? You forget about the Justin thing and
I forget about the killing
thing?"
In tears, Alivia said, "Oh of course! I just want to start all over with you!"
The two hugged.
"This is all great, but we don't have our answers yet. 1910-" Justin began again.
"Okay
ok. So after Isabella stole Justin from me I was horribly jealouse and
determind to ruin her life.
I went to someone I had heard of from a friend."
"Claudia" Isabella guessed.
"Right.
I went to see Claudia. She gave me this drink. It made me young, beautiful
and unable to age.
Then in 1940 I went to see Isabella. That was
my second part of the plan."
"Right. And in 1940 I was horrible. I was a mess and old. I remember that day when you came."
Monique chuckled, "I was trying desperately to console you because you were crying your eyes out about getting wrinkly."
"Yeah, and I felt even worse after Alivia left."
"So I suggested we go to Claudia whose name I had also gotten from a friend. We went to pick up Biannca before we-"
The door suddenly opened, "Am I too late?"
