Not Okay

*Bella's POV*

Clutching the file in my hands tighter, I look up from my feet to meet Nico's eyes He stared at me coldly, the past warmth he had for me gone.

So that's how it is huh?

I admit it, I messed up, I shouldn't have entertained Andrei's advances when I knew Nico wouldn't like that, I shouldn't have lied to him because he doesn't tolerate lies. Heck I did a lot of things that I shouldn't have done and I regret doing them.

And right now Nico wouldn't even look at me or listen to me. He made up his mind in having nothing to do with me and I have to respect those wishes.

Holding back my tears that shouldn't be falling, I walked past Nico, my shoulders brushing against his arm.

I look at his face as I walked past and it remained stoic, not even showing any pain or emotion.

Does he even care that I'm about to leave? I can't decide if he does care or not. On one hand I admit I messed up, he hates it when people lie to him and I went ahead and lied to him, I didn't even do it once.

    Leaning my head against the window, I listen to the soft taps of the rain against the car's glass window.I thought I was never going to forgive Andrei for what he did, I thought I was also never going to talk to him ever again. But look at me here, having a conversation with him and it seems I had forgiven him too. Not that he did anything that needed much forgiveness or everything was his fault. I was just playing the blame game with him instead of taking responsibility for all my actions. I was the one that lied to Nico, not Andrei. I just couldn't handle the fact that I messed up and…."It was also my fault. Stop trying to put all the blame on yourself" Andrei tells me cutting my train of thoughts. I turn to look at him but he wasn't even looking at me but keeps his eyes on the road."It really isn't just your fault. I mean yes, you messed up with the lies. Domenico doesn't like people lying to him and that was a dumb move you made there. But it was also my fault if you think abo

    I wait a few seconds before I lower the blanket, uncovering my face to just above my nose, peeping out to see if he actually left."Don't worry, he left. I made sure he actually left" The doctor says with a boastful expression and I glance at him before taking my eyes off him, closing my eyes."You are welcome by the way" He says in a dejected tone and I only say a 'hmph' with my eyes still closed.This man doesn't really act like he is a doctor at all, you sure he knows what he is doing? Cause i'm not too sure. He is acting like he was the class clown while he was in school.I keep my eyes closed, hoping to get some sleep, and that's when the room door gets thrown open, and i open my eyes to see who disturbed my sleep. A panicking Andrei rushed in, looking around. The doctor rubs his forehead with his eyes closed, I could see a vein throbbing on his forehead."Oh for the love of…." I hear the doctor mumble and I stiffle a giggle."Where is she??" Andrei asks still looking around pani

    We got to the car park and Andro was already sitting behind the car wheel, waiting for us to come."You ready?" He asks when he saw us coming, bringing his head out of the car window.."Let's go"Andrei helps me into the car even though I told him that I didn't need any help and there was really no need for him to. I mean we were both in the same car and we got into the accident together. Why was he acting like I was about to die or something? I won't break if he lets go of me."You ready?" Andro asked when Andrei got into the car, closing the door shut after he did.After being certain we were all okay, well mostly me because I think they expect me to actually break down or something due to trauma because the last car accident I was in killed my parents and almost killed me and I got traumatized by that as a child. But surprisingly, I wasn't having a panic attack after entering this car. I think both Andrei and Andro were expecting me to because they both kept looking at me, Andro l

    I stay there, sitting on the grass for a while without saying anything or moving, the sun had already come up now and the weather was starting to get warm.Andro comes and stands beside me, dropping a flower on their grave as a way of paying his respects to my parents and he turns and looks down at me."Why are you down there?" He raises his brows at me asking. Can't a girl just remain sitting in front of her parents grave just to feel their presence?"Was talking to my parents" I say raising my hand up for him to pull me up.He clasps his hand around my wrist pulling me up to him and I let him pull me."And unlike yours, my parents don't really reply when I'm talking to them" I say cleaning my backside to get rid of whatever sand or dirt that was left on my body. I turn around walking down to the car and Andro follows behind me."Really Bella?, you didn't just say that" Andro asks me referring to the statement I made just know.What? Its true isn't it?"But i did and you know it's

    We get to the house and Andro kills the engine, getting off and Andrei and I follow suite.It's been a while since I've been here.I thought as I look around, thinking back to the last time I was here,the day I met Nico and the day he took me away by force."Don't think about it. Let's just do it" Andrei says squeezing my hand and I squeeze his back.Don't we need a lawyer or something to do this? Are we just going to walk in and I don't know? Claim the property? Is that how its done?"I said not to think about it" Andrei flicks my forehead destroying my train of thoughts like he always does.Who don't they like me thinking about stuff?"You'd just burn your little brain cells out if you think too much" Andrei says and I look at him clearly offended What does he mean by that? Little brain cells?"Let's go you two" Andro calls for our attention and I stick my tongue out at Andrei before speed walking to catch up to Andro.

You got so lucky and you escaped that day" She continued saying still staring at me with the same intense hatred.What is she talking about? She wished I had died that day? But why? Does she hate me enough to wish me dead?"Mom, what are you saying?" Andro asked her, he was as shocked as I was cause we were not expecting her to say this or feel this way. She acted like she loved me in the previous years."I should have killed you off myself after I found out you survived that day, the last time I tried to kill you was a failure and this time too ended in a failure. You were always getting too lucky and escaping death" She had said, glaring at me like I was the bane of her existence.Last time was a failure? And this time too?Did she.. Did she set up th

You don't think about it but just do it.Andrei reached for the gun attempting to take it from me and I fired at her again before he could snatch the gun from me.Aunt Sofia screamed in pain holding her arm as blood seeped through her clothes and her fingers.If the first shot missed, the second shot definitely won't miss.

If he was more careful and watched the road, then that wouldn't have happened and Bella wouldn't have ended up in the hospital yesterday. When I saw her at the hospital, it looked like she was fine and she also had Andrei and Andro with her so I didn't see the need to go inside her hospital room and she didn't need to know that I came to see her. Besides she looked perfectly fine when she went to see her parent this morning, it didn't look like she got into an accident or anythung and it didn't kook like our separation affected her much.So it doesn't bother her then, the fact that we are no more together doesn't bother her and she moved on with Andrei.Someone walked into the living room and I open my eyes to see Andrei walking in about to walk past and head up

Pretending like I didn't hear the person, I increased my pace, hoping to avoid whoever didn't want to leave me alone."Bella. Stop" He placed his hands on my shoulder and unfortunately I couldn't fake being deaf or unable to feel his hands on me so I stopped and turned."Hey Charlie. What's up" I say with fake euthusiasm. Charlie is one of my classmates, who apparently likes me since first year. But I've been avoiding him my whole time since then because why not?Everyone expected us to date because apparently the 'queen' and 'king' has to be together. But no thanks. Don't even know why they tagged me as that."What do you want Charlie?" I ask again when I notice he has been staring at me without saying anything. My cheek hurting because of the fake smile I had on for too long. He shakes his head snapping out of whatever

    I stared at the car which stopped a few distance away from my house, it stayed there for a while, before it drove off once again.It's been a few weeks since I started seeing that car around me, at first I thought it was a coincidence, maybe a student with a car staying around. But it has been showing up everywhere and anywhere I go. Maybe it was Andrei asking someone to keep an eye on me, but for some reason I wasn't bothered and wasn't about to panic.I opened the door, walking into my house and shutting it behind me, making sure it was locked.It's been two years since I left Italy, two years without Nico and two years since I started all over in a place no one knew me.Andrea decided to go to fashion school at the last minute so we were separated, not that I minded.It was nice to be in a place without anyone staring at you with pity at every minute, waiting for you to break down so they could wrap their arms around you and tell you everything was going to be alright.It was sicke

She was the only one I could lean on today.I was wearing my graduation gown over a plain shirt and baggy jeans.Andrea talked about it all she could, but I didn't care that it was "D graduation", I want it done.l s I could start a new beginning.I didn't bother telling Andrei it was today because he would be busy and things like this didn't interest him, I don't want to bother him. But it didn't matter along as I was finally leaving this place. "Why are you looking so lost? You should be happy that finally we are leaving this school" Andrea said, sitting beside me and snapping me out of my daze.

The days of my high school was coming to an end. And I could remember vividly when Nico promised to attend my graduation. What a jerk, I had come to accept his death and live a free life but doubted loving again."Bella, can I see you for sec," the principal requested as I was crossing the hallway with Andrea. "Thank you for your audience, I was wondering if you would like to be the valedictorian of the year. It's like I'm imposing it on you. But you have the highest grades so far and I don't know if..." She starts, staring at me and hoping I would accept. S"I will take it, the speech, I will say it. After all I earned it for myself.

As usual, everyone wore black and stood in line waiting for me to place the last flower on his coffin and say my final wordsNot that I was ready to say my final words to him, I wasn't ready to let him go.I was not allowed to cry because it would be a sign of a bad omen. In the mafia, Don's were to be respected till the very end. Crying would only mean that he was weak and didn't live a good life. I held my tears back and stood in front of Nico's coffin. Inside, his face was covered I couldn't even see his face for the last time. This was the part where I hated the mafia tradition. I couldn't see his face as I said my goodbye. And Andrei safi wasn't even allowed to say my farewell here to me. The mafia rules are against such.

I cried holding him tightly. The bomb started to count after nico had shot his father dead. That is to say that he was the trigger."Don't worry, I will not let anything happen to you," Nico comforted as he looked at the bomb thinking of how to diffuse it."I'm so sorry, this is all my fault. If I had grown stronger or listened back then, none of this would have happened. I'm so pathetic for causing you all this trouble. Maybe if I hadn't left your office then I wouldn't have been taken." I muttered forgetting the pain I felt on my cheeks. "Don't say that, I'm the one who should have protected you. I let my guard down after I had promised to never let anything hurt you. You don't know how worried I was when I couldn't find you. And seeing you brusied and bloodied, makes me want to beat myself.

I had a job to do. Kill the men coming to my village. And I had to perform this job." He says and I once again look at Angelina." Oh no, don't look at her that way. It wasn't her fault really. The girl just has a kind heart and wanted to help you even if it meant going against her father. I was just expecting her to hesitate a bit before she decided to disobey her father" He says and I see the tight grip he has on her wrist."So you were working for Andrew.

"What?" I ask him. "The father and daughter would know where she is" Andrei says and I know that. "Would they be able to speak though? Tell us where they kept her?
