Saved by the Devil [EDITING]

12•Secondo atto

•Davina Alexander•

The party is going okay I guess, Diavolo's friends have been coming up to the table to congratulate him and after that, all they do is talk in Italian. I've seen a few girls look at me with so much hate in their eyes, but I really don't know why so sorry for not explaining that.

"I'll be right back bunny," Diavolo said as he kissed my cheek and then walked away with two of his friends but Luca stayed with me.

"It's okay, Ms. Alexander," Luca said as he stood behind the table "everyone here knows you're the first priority."

I sighed taking a sip of my lemonade "Thank you, Luca," I said looking over my shoulder.

A couple of minutes went by of me playing Subway Surfer on my phone and then someone interrupted my peaceful loneliness "Hi," a feminine voice said.

I gazed up and found a gorgeous girl with fair skin and blonde hair, grey orbs, and stunning lips. The girl was also wearing a strapless red dress with a slit on the right side going up to her mid-thigh and a heart-shaped neckline.

I waved with an anxious smile "H-hi."

She smiled "You must be Davina," a mild Italian accent. "I'm Alena Russo, you might've met my brother, Carmelo."

"Yes," I whispered blushing at my behavior. Elena, Alexandria, and Harper (Dominico's girlfriend) are the only other girls I've actually talked to and they don't make me feel like I'm less just by the way they look at me.

She rose an eyebrow "Can I ask you a question?"

I nodded "I guess," I shifted on my seat.

"How did you catch Diavolo?" the girl asked resting her chin on the palm of her hand. "I mean, girls in this ballroom have been trying to for years and all of the sudden he just walks in with a..." her eyes looked up and down at me "nobody."

I frowned "I-I really do-don't know how to answer that question," my gaze moved to my glass of lemonade.

Jack popped in my mind:

Nobody...nobody loves you, Davina. Nobody is looking for you, Davina. Nobody will ever care for you, Davina. You're a stupid and useless nobody...

When the girl was about to fire more words, her evil expression turned into a sweet smile as a familiar voice spoke behind me "Alena, what do you want?" Diavolo spat.

"I just came here to wish you a happy birthday and ask you if you are busy after the party," she was now up on her feet and in front of Diavolo, too close to Diavolo.

"Well, wish me happy birthday and run along to your table because I'm always busy if you're the one asking," he sat down and rested his hand on my thigh. "Hurry now, Alena, I don't have time for your pathetic attempts."
