Ben knew something had been up with Arabella, he didn't like it. She hadn't been talking to anyone that much, lately she was hauled up in her room. He wanted to go talk to her, but was too shy. She liked her alone time sometimes, and he was okay with that, he knew the feeling.
"Hey" Nathan said from the doorway.
"Hey." He replied.
"You talked to Arabella?" Nate asked. Ben shook his head.
"Well, I'm sure whatever it is, it's no biggy, you know her." Nate comforted him. Ben nodded.
Arabella laughed as she and Zoe walked down the crowded streets. She had met Zoe one day in class, she didn't see why she shouldn't be allowed other friends, Zoe had invited her to go party. She had met Zack and Ally as well they seemed nice. As she entered the smoky over crowded room she was met with a cute face, the boy looked about her age, he had brown hair in a sort of fringe cut the swept over his eyes, which were green. She smiled at him.
"Can't say I've seen you here before, I'm Matt." He said extending his hand.
"I'm Arabella." She replied.
"Like the Arctic Monkeys song?" He asked.
"No but I do love them." She said smiling.
"Well you look like you could use a drink and some nice pot." He said.
"That would be nice." She said. He handed her a joint she inhaled deeply, it was weird, she hadn't really done anything like this before.
"Take this." Matt said offering her a shot glass, she didn't bother asking what it was, she just downed it. It burned, she liked it. The room became more crowded, the smell of pot, alcohol, and cheap perfume filled the room. The music pounded, everything felt so nice. Nothing was too hard or mean.
"I wanna stay for ever." Arabella whispered to Matt.
"I wanna stay with you." he said placing his lips on her neck, now boney, the serum was not as well designed as Steve's, Arabella was a bit of a twig now.
"Take me away." She giggled.
Tony was worried, Arabella wasn't in her suit, wasn't at home anywhere, he had lost his daughter.
"She'll turn up." Steve reassured him.
"What if she doesn't?! What if it's a repeat of last time?" Tony asked, he was freaking out. Pepper was trying to keep it together for the sake of her husband.
"Maybe she's just trying to clear her head, I know I would want to be left alone if it were me." Bruce suggested, although he was fairly worried, due to the fact that Arabella had developed some strange behavior. He wanted to trust her but knew something was up.
"Look, why don't you guys go get some sleep and I'll wait for her." Bruce said. Everyone trudged out of the room, Bruce knew he would just have to wait.
"We should go homeeeeeee." Zoe slurred.
"Nooooooo!" Ally moaned.
"Yeah ZoeeeeEEEeeeeee I wanna stay with Matt." Arabella giggled.
"Okayyyyy get in trouble." Zoe laughed.
"I have to goooo but I don't wanna leave youuuuu." Matt whined hugging Arabella.
"Well, we can hang outtttt and kissies!" Arabella said laughing.
"Okay, I'll see you soonnnnn! Callllll meeeeeeeeee" Matt said playing tonsil tennis one last time with her. Arabella wobbled through the streets until she somehow found her way back to Stark tower. she walked into the elevator and once out she saw bruce, asleep on the couch. She laugh and grabbed a bottle of vodka from behind Tony's bar. She walked up to her room and hid it well.
"Goodnight." She laughed to herself.
Pepper walked into her daughters room and saw her sprawled out on her bed, Pepper relaxed.
"Tone, she's here and she's safe don't worry." Pepper whispered.
"Thank god! I wonder where she was." Tony mumbled.
"I'm sure she'll tell us." Pepper assured him, he nodded.
"Too much talking." Arabella groaned tossing a pillow at them.
"well you heard her." Tony said as they left. Arabella felt the hangover full blown, her own parents couldn't see how messed up their daughter was. She walked into her bathroom (*trigger warning*) she uncapped the vodka and took a swig, then proceeded to take out a blade and slash her wrists a few times. It felt nice, and she was content.
