Bad Boy Rule
Toronto blue
Ella : fl
Three months ago, I flew new work in a cocktail dress, with nothing but a broken heart and a half - empty backpack.
Ella : fl
Here, in Toronto I feel different. But am I Same person as before?
Ella : fl
It was like any normal day, I was going out for the evening....
Little did you know you'd never return to that life - if u could call it that. Or so u hope...
Ella : fl
It's hard to believe that it's been three months since that night in Manhattan.
Ella : fl
Here's how it happened...
Ella : fl
I'm heading out! See you later Derek.
Derek
Where do you think you are going?
Ella : fl
To a concert at Lincoln Centre, remember?
Ella : fl
I told u before, my friends from college!
Derek
How come I am not invited?
Ella : fl
You said you didn't want to go.
Derek
Oh, yeah. Those little b*tches you're going with are dumb. And sois jazz.
Derek
( walking closer)
What I don't remember is you telling me you are gonna dress like a ****.
Ella : fl
Derek has alway been controlling but it getting on my nerves.
Ella : fl
I'm going to tell him to shut up
Derek
Oh, yeah? What are you gonna do about it, huh? Are you gonna cry again?
Derek
Oh, this is precious
Ella feel she about to start crying, but she took a deep breath and drive the urge back down into her chest.
Ella : fl
I don't have to be here.
Derek
Oh, I beg to differ. I say you have to be here. Because you are mine.
Derek
Where else you gonna go? Or have you found somebody else who loves you
Ella : fl
I don't care if anyone loves me, I'm done.
Ella : fl
Even if all the men die in the world, I still don't want to be with you anymore.
Derek
Have you forgotten how this ended last time?
Derek
( slap her on her face)
With angrily
Derek

Derek
(He walked to her piano keyboard he raised his hand over his head. He was going to smash it.)
Ella : fl

Derek

Derek

After some time Derek pass out watching TV after 1 hour.

Ella grab her purse and backpack with some essential, snatch his phone and walk out the door.
It's been three months since that night she never made it to that concert. She been living in Toronto.
Ella was driving to work.
Ella : fl
But I don't want to think about that! I did better listen some jazz to calm myself.
A piano riff on the radio. Ella finger massage the air, playing along.
Ella : fl
They know every note and even though the key are imaginary, jazz is the only real thing in the world.
Ella : fl

Ella watch as the men seat themselves in silence, a chill go down her spine.
Usually, she'd move them to a different table -- Antoni has a system.
But their brutish confidence comples her to let them be.
Ella : fl

She hides behind the door and watch what was happening
Antoni
*scared*
Why don't you go back to your table, and I'll have the girl bring you some cocktails.
Noah
We're not here for those rolled turds you call cannoli, Antoni.
Noah
Seriously calling your desert cannoli is an insult to all cannoli.
Noah
And it is an insult to my boss Adrian here that you haven't paid him back the money you have borrowed.
Adrian : ml
I lent you quite a fifty sum, Antoni. Payment is due.
Antoni
I don't have it yet. But I'm close! Real close! Just give me a few more days and...
Adrian takes out the gun and point it to his head
Antoni

Leo and Noah also take out the gun and point at his heart
Noah
Those are some *****-*** last words Antoni
Noah

Adrian : ml
Exactly. You're too trigger-happy. You shoot first and think later.
Adrian : ml
But now I have to see what was that sound
Gun drawn she watches him slowly walk towards her hiding place
She couldn't make a peep if you wanted to. You're frozen in terror
He stops directly opposite her. He so close that she can hear his breathing. Then you see him.
He suddenly stops, then bend down to peer through the crack. His eyes lock with her.
She brace herself for the impact of the bullet
