: Movie night

Violet's POV

"I'll clean the table while you close the front door." I told Tracy. She nodded and went to lock the door.

"I'm glad this day is over." She sighed.

"Indeed it was a busy day." I said sighing from this day. It was eventful and I was glad it was over.

"V about Derek-"

"Don't. I don't want to hear it. Derek is in the past." I told her.

"Are you done girls?" Mr. Hardyn said.

Mr Hardyn was the owner of Hardyn's dinner, the restaurant we work in. He is a kind old man that pays us a good amount. We helped him since he started this restaurant and we're all a small family.

"Yes Mr Hardyn. We have finished and closed the restaurant." I said with a smile.

"Thank you. Tomorrow you can come to collect your payment dears." He told us and we both smiled.

"We will." Tracy said and Mr Hardyn left.

"Tomorrow we'll go partying!" I squealed.

"Let's leave it's dark already and it's getting late." Tracy said and I nodded grabbing my jacket and leaving from the back door.

"Carl, why are you still here?" I asked him.

"I'll take you girls home. It's not safe and it's the first day we stayed this late. Come on." Tracy and I smiled gratefully at him and followed him to his car.

"We need hot chocolate and a movie." Tracy said as we entered our appartement.

We live in a small appartement. Although it's not big it was cozy and enough for the both of us. We shared the rent. We both aren't rich but we were managing.

I left my parents when I was 18. I went to college and studied art. Then I started searching for a job but I couldn't find one, so I decided to work with Tracy in Mr Hardyn's restaurant.

"Let's get changed and I'll prepare the hot chocolate while you prepare the movie." I told her and entered my room.

I took off my clothes and took a quick shower. I put on my pajamas and dried my hair. I went to the kitchen and started preparing the hot chocolate and I heard Tracy in the sitting room.

After I was done I grabbed the mugs and went to see what movie Tracy chose.

Of course.

The notebook.

"Tracy I'm not in the mood to cry." I rolled my eyes and sat next to her.

"Come on V it's my favorite movie." I grabbed the tissues and prepared myself to cry.

Tracy and I had been best friends since we were in kindergarten. Our parents were high school friends and we were besties before we were even born. Her parents are the sweetest. Although Tracy was not talking to her mom because she didn't understand her. Her mother always wanted the best for her daughter.

Tracy had been always rebellious. Her mom said that she is like her father. She always understood her dad and were like best friends. But her mom was another story.

"Your phone is ringing." Tracy said.

"I'll answer it. Don't pause the movie." I stood up and went to my room. My mom was calling.

"Hey mom!"

"Violet sweetheart how are you?"

"I'm fine. How are you?" I asked her.

"I'm fine. Your dad is fine too. He was working in the garden since the morning and he's now resting. He says hi."

"I miss you guys."

"We miss you more honey. When are you coming to see us?"

"Soon mom. As soon as I can get a break from work I'll come visit you." I replied.

"Great. Take care of yourself. I just wanted to rest assured of you. Love you."

"Love you too mom."

"Tell Tracy I said hi. I'M COMING JEEZ." She screamed at the end and I had to remove the phone from my ear.

"Bye mom." I laughed.

"Bye." She cut off the phone. I shook my head and laughed.

"Who was that?" Tracy asked as soon as I sat down next to her.

"That was my mom. She says hi."

"I miss your parents." She pouted.

"Me too." I sighed.

"I'm not in the mood for the movie anymore." Tracy yawned and I nodded.

"Me neither. Let's go to sleep." I told her and headed to bed.

Vincenzo's POV

"What do you mean you couldn't bring her?" I slammed my hands on the desk in front of me.

"She was with the guy Carl and Tracy. We couldn't approach her." Giovanni said rolling his eyes.

"I said I wanted her as soon as possible." I sat on the chair and massaged my temples.

"We'll get her soon lover boy." I shot him a glare and he smiled sheepishly at me.

"Boss we have a problem." Paolo said entering my office.

"Of course we have." I said furiously.

"Elijah Robbie. He is commanding people to try and kill you." I laughed.

"That's not a problem." I rolled my eyes.

"Yes that's not the problem." I sat straight when I heard that. "He's willing to kill you, and he's getting informations from someone here in the mafia. Big informations like where you're going, with who and how." I stood up.

"What? How the hell is that possible?" I roared.

"We're working on it to find who but we're not finding anything."

"We're the number one mafia in the country. We practically rule all the gangs. How is it possible that a small gang is able to get informations about me?" I asked him restraining myself from smashing everything in my way.

"They are searching for a weak spot to get to you boss. But they can't find any. I swear to you we'll find the son if a bitch." Paolo said with a hard face.

Paolo was a cool man. He barely got angry but when he does someone ends up dead. Paolo joined the mafia 8 years ago, when he was still 14 years old. We instantly became friends and when I took after my father he was one of my most trusted men.

"I trust you Paolo." I said.

"I promise we'll have someone dead in no time." He smirked evilly and I smirked back.

"That's what I'm waiting for." Giovanni said with an evil glint in his eyes.

"Now let's make sure this time the shipment will het on time. I don't want anything to go wrong. We're on top and we'll be always on top. I don't want us to back down." I said.

"Yes boss." They both said and soon we headed towards our warehouse.

Violet's POV

"Rise and shine." I screamed as I jumped on Tracy's sleeping body.

"Why are you always so chirpy when you wake up?" Tracy grumbled.

Today was a special day for me. It was Tracy's birthday. She always loved how we both celebrated together alone but today I had a special surprise for her. Her father was coming to see her and we are throwing her a big surprise. I know she loves the surprises I make but this one is special. I have been saving money for her birthday and I finally bought her the car she always wanted.

"Come on birthday girl. Wake up and get dressed. We have work." I smirked and she opened one eye to look at me.

"Wait." She jumped up from the bed and looked at me with disbelief. "Today's my birthday already?" She screamed.

"Yes. Finally you're 24 little girl." I laughed and ruffled her hair.

"Shut up you're only 7 months older than me." She rolled her eyes and smiled at her.

"Come on no time for chats. We have plans- I mean work." Thankfully she was searching for her clothes so she didn't pay attention to my slip.

"I'm taking a shower. Get ready and I'll see you in a few." She said ushering me outside her bedroom and closed the door in my face.

Such a best friend!

I rolled my eyes but laughed anyway. She was like a sister to me and I would never be offended by her.

I headed to my room and started curling my hair. Usually, my hair is straight so I wanted to break the routine a bit and curl it. When I'm done, I put on eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara and my matt red lipstick. When I was satisfied with my look I put on my off shoulder black shirt and black pants.

I took my purse when the bell rang. I ran to the door to open it before Tracy. At the door a teenage boy was standing.

"Hello. Mr Hardyn sent me with the car you bought." He said with a smile.

"Oh yes hello. Thank you so much." I said and smiled back at him.

"I just need you to sign here and we're done." I signed on the paper he showed me and he left.

I looked towards our usually empty garage to see the Tracy's new car parked there. It was a black Audi and they put a big red ribbon so that it looked like a present. I squealed happily and went back inside to call her.

"Tracy! Come on we should go!" I yelled and seconds later she came from her room rolling her eyes.

"Always impatient." I grinned.

"There's a big present waiting for you outside." I said and she frowned.

"Outside?" I nodded and she walked outside and I heard her gasp.

"VIOLET KATRINA ANDERSON!" I winced at her high pitched voice and followed her towards the car.

"Yes?"

"What the hell is this?" She glared at me.

"It's a car." I said innocently.

"No shit sherlock." She rolled her eyes, but soon a big grin plastered her face and she squealed and jumped hugging me. We both started laughing as we fell on the floor.

"I can't believe you Violet. This is too much." She hugged me one more time and let me go.

"This is for everything you have ever done to me." I told her and smiled at her sincerely.

"Thank you. I can't thank you enough." Her eyes started tearing.

"Now let's try if this car is functioning." She laughed and followed me to the car. I gave her the keys and got in the passenger seat.

"There's another surprise waiting for you in the restaurant." I told her and she smiled.

"What surprise?" She raised an eyebrow.

"You'll see." I smirked and she rolled her eyes.

Tracy started the engine and started driving the car. I turned on the radio and a random song started playing. We danced along with the song and shouted the wrong lyrics. Soon we pulled over in front of the restaurant and we got out. I sent a quick message to Carl telling him that we are here.

"SURPRISE!" Mr and Mrs Hardyn, Jimmy, Carl, her dad and I shouted. We weren't many, but we all loved her wholeheartedly.

"Dad!" She screamed and ran to hug him. She started crying and he kissed her face. "I can't believe this!" She said and we all laughed and they gave her the gifts they bought her.

"You have the day all for yourself Tracy." Mr Hardyn said and Tracy hugged him.

"Thank you Mr Hardyn."

"Hello Mr Derwin." I said hugging Tracy's dad.

"Hello Violet dear how are you?" He asked.

"I'm fine. Now you two go have fun and enjoy the day." Tracy kissed my cheek and they left the restaurant.

It was along day of work. It was boring with Tracy's absence but I managed. Both Jimmy and Carl stayed with me. It was finally over and it was time to close the restaurant.

"Bye V I'll see you tomorrow. Are you sure you don't want me to drop you at your place?" Carl asked.

"No I'm fine Carl." I smiled and waved at him.

"Okay see you tomorrow then." He said.

"Yeah see you." I closed the front door and switched off the lights.

I headed to the back door and started walking towards my apartment. The atmosphere was really creepy. The lights were off and there was a deafening silence. I shivered and started walking faster, until a car stopped next to me. I wanted to cry, but muster my courage and walked faster.

"Are you going somewhere princess?" I turned around and saw one of the five guys that came to the restaurant 2 days ago.

"What do you want?" I asked him with a glare.

"To tell you I'm sorry." I looked at him confused until suddenly someone put a cloth on my mouth and nose and I started struggling. I started loosing conscious and tried to hit the person behind me but the chloroform started making me dizzy and until I lot conscious.
