I woke up to a door slamming close, it looked to the door and saw that it was closed like it was every time I looked at that damn piece of wood. I looked around the room and looked for something that might be different from yesterday, I really hoped for some food.
I looked at the little table that was in front of the couch and saw a huge pile of food. I literally jumped out of bed and ran over to the food. There were different kinds of fruits, meat and bread. I simply was in heaven.
'O my god, this is so good.' I moaned as I put a strawberry into my mouth.
I suddenly froze as a thought came to my mind. What if it is poisoned?
Well, I already ate most of it, so fuck it. If it is poisoned I'm already as good as dead.
I grabbed the glass of water that stood next to the food and threw the water into my mouth. I think I did it too fast, 'cause I choked. The water went straight into my lungs, and I caught up all of it. So the only water that was cold and tasted good enough was now on the ground.
Drips of water flooded out of my mouth as I looked at the water on the floor.
Fuck, this sucks.
I glanced at the ground and then at the water in front if me.
Ah, fuck this shit.
I sat with my butt into the puddle of water and started eating my food again. I would do everything for my food. Even make my butt wet. And that wasn't an amazing feeling. It was cold, and the fabric of my jeans stuck to my skin. Also, my panties were soaking wet. And not in a good way, if you know what I mean.
When I finished eating, my belly felt like it was going to explode. So I laid down on my back for a while. I was thinking, maybe I would be gone in a day or they would take me or kill me, then I had to make the best of it. So I decided I was going to go into that huge bathtub that is in the bathroom.
So as I walked to the bathroom, I noticed how bad I smelled. I smelled like fucking shit man. Jezus, it was unbearable.
As I sat in the warm water my body relaxed, for the first time in a long time I felt at peace. I scrubbed my skin to get away the bad smell and the dirt. When I finished washing my skin was red from all the scrubbing.
I got out of the bathtub and dried my body with a towel that felt heavenly against my body. I sighed as my body and muscles relaxed. My skin was red from all the scrubbing. I opened the bathroom door and a light breeze hit my naked body making me shiver. I pulled the towel closer to my body and looked around.
It was like the night my mom got murdered. A cold breeze out of my window that caressed my skin. I was standing in my pretty, pink princess room and was playing with my doll. I heard a loud scream that made my body freeze. My mom and dad were fighting again. They always fight on a late night, though. I think they thought that I was asleep, I wasn't though. I always heard them yelling about money and bills. Sometimes I even heard a loud slap, and my mom running upstairs, crying.
She always held her head high when she would come into my room, and see me awake and tears in my eyes. She would come up to me and whisper sweet words in my ear, she would caress my hair with her fingers and wipe my tears away.
But that night, that didn't happen. She didn't come into my room to comfort me or wipe my tears away or whisper sweet words. So as I laid in my bed, I waited for my mommy. Waited till she got to me and held me lovingly. But after ten minutes, I became impatient. So I grabbed my teddy bear and walked down the stairs.
When I came into the kitchen, I didn't saw my daddy and my mommy standing there, arguing and fighting. I just saw my mommy laying on the floor in a puddle of blood.
The red liquid was coming out of her belly and flooded around her. Her eyes were wide open and her brown hair had become red of her blood.
I whispered her name and grabbed her hand as I knelt next to her. The tears were falling down my cheeks like a waterfall. Her blood was now on my white pajamas. My hands were painted with her blood as I tried to shake her awake.
Shen she didn't respond I laid my head on her shoulder and whispered in her ear. 'Mommy when you go to heaven and see an angel, tell him that I would like to meet him. I know that you will always be with me. I love you, mommy, so much.'
I didn't know when or who, but I was being dragged away from the person I loved the most. I screamed and struggled but they held a tight grip onto me as they took me away.
I still remembered it so good. Her lifeless eyes, her cold body, and how her blood filled the shirt.
My mom was the only one I loved and who returned my love to me. She told me stories before I would go to sleep, would bake cookies with me sometimes and when she was really cheerfull she would give me an extra candy. Those were the days I enjoyed life. But that was all thrown away the day she died.
My mom always told me to be kind to people and help them when they needed it. I always did that but after she died things changed, so I changed as well. I became colder after what my father and sister did to me. I became self-contained. I'd choose to be alone in my room over a night out with friends, not that I had any friends to begin with, though. So I didn't really have a choice in that.
I was still standing in the doorway of the bathroom. Still holding the towel tight to my body. As the door opened.
I looked over at the door and saw the same man who brought me here. The man with the beautiful green eyes.
I looked into his eyes and stared at him in complete shock. I was frozen in the bathroom doorway. My hands began to tremble and I began to hyperventilate. My breaths came out short and fast.
I once again looked into his eyes and saw him beginning to walk to me and saw determination in his eyes.
I gasped out loud and took a step back. My hands found the door handle and I pulled the door close. I locked the door and walked to the end of the bathroom.
I sank to the floor and pulled my knees to my chest. I was trembling with fear and hoped he wouldn't kill me.
Maybe he just came in to say hello.
Who am I kidding? I'm going to die.
I heard loud footsteps approach the bathroom door and saw the twist of the door handle.
The green eyed man banged with his hands on the door and once again twisted the door handle.
I cowered away in fear and prayed he would just leave me alone. He shouted at me to open the door and let him in.
I mean, I'm not that stupid. I wouldn't just let him in and kill me. I would, at least, put up a fight. And my fight began with hiding in the bathroom.
'Gracelyn!'
Okay. How the hell did he know my name!?
I was still stuck in the bathroom and the green-eyed man was still on the other side of the door. He stopped banging but was still there. I knew it, I heard his breathing on the other side. His breaths were soft and steady, but I could still hear him.I think it has been ten minutes from the moment he stopped banging. I was still sitting in the corner of the bathroom but my breaths were steady again and the tears stopped flooding down my cheeks.
It has been over three days since the man stepped out of the doorway. I always wondered what his name would be. Maybe it was short but strong, or long and sexy. I hoped on the last option of course, who wouldn't?I sat on the floor on a soft carpet thinking about the event that happened three days ago. I wondered who it was, who was now dead and no more in this world. And I know that the bullet which the green-eyed man shot was pointed on the other man's body. I know that the man who was shot is
After I showered I put on some clothes I found in a dresser. I wore a gray tank top and black jeans. They felt like my seconds skin.I became bored.I had absolutely nothing to do here. I couldn't go out of this room because the door is locked. The
'My name?' He asked with a shocked expression.'Yes.'He frowned and looked me in the eyes. 'Giovanni, my name is Giovanni LaRosa.'
I looked at him as if he had grown a second head. Was he serious? Or was he kidding me? God, please let this be a joke. I mean, it would be amazing to meet new people. But I'm not good at meeting new people.This one time my mom brought a friend home with her. I was in the kitchen decorating a cake with sparkles. They came into the kitchen. And you know what I did? I fucking sprayed the sparkles over their heads. I don't know why? I don't know how? But I did it. And may I ask? WHO THE FUCK DOES
G R A C E P O VI was cleaning the bathroom as my father walked in. The smell of alcohol invaded my nose as he came closer.
Did you ever have that feeling that you felt out of place? That you didn't belong. You rather jump in front of a train then stay there a minute longer. You rather jump off a building then speak one word again. You rather slice your own throat then breath the same air they breathe.I had that feeling.
Gio and I were cuddled up on the couch watching a movie. My head was on his shoulder and his arm around my waist.Camilla walked in with a knowing smile as she saw us cuddled up on the coutch.'Helloo you guys.' She said as she sat down on the cout
3 years later.G I O V A N N I P O V'Grace?' I shouted.
It's been two days since I've known I'm pregnant. Giovanni was waiting downstairs for me, I told him I wanted to 'Netflix and chill' this evening.I walked into the living room where Gio was already waiting for me. He had dimmed the lights and laid blankets on the couch. There were brownies, cake, and much more food on the table in front of it. Gio was sitting on the ground with his pajama pants on and a black shirt. He was looking through the movies on Netflix and stopped my 'tangled'.
It has been three weeks since we visited my dad in Italy. I already missed him and Elena, they were both simply amazing.Camilla and I were hanging out today. She told me to meet her in her room upstairs. All Gio's brothers and Camilla had their own room in the mansion. Camilla's room had pink wallpaper and a white floor. The floor was soft like a carpet and felt insanely nice under your feet. Her bed was super big and stuffed with purple and pink pillows. She had a hang out place where stood tw
G R A C E P O VWe stood in front of the big mansion of 'Family Antoïni' in Italy. My legs were shaking, my hands were clammy and my body was sweating like I was walking through a desert. I felt like dying.
I didn't know what to say.What would he want me to say?Should I be excited?
It has been two days since I've been discharged from the hospital. Giovanni's brothers and Camilla has been keeping me company me non-stop. Camilla has recovered from her wounds. There were still some bruises left on her body, but she didn't have any major wounds. I was glad about that. It was my goal to protect her from the beginning when I went into that house. And I succeeded. They found the woman named Priscilla in the basement later. She has been locked up there for hours. Camilla told me the woman helped her, she gave her food and cleaned her wounds. She did what she could. She was just another victim of my father.
I woke up after 2 days of sleep in the hospital. They took out the bullet and stitched me up. I was going to be fine but I had to keep some rest for the upcoming month. Gio has been very worried about me. He hasn't left me alone since he found me in my father's house after I was shot. He got my phone call, though. He tracked me down with the chip he placed on my phone. I didn't know that. And after I passed put the paramedics brought me to the hospital for surgery. They cleaned my wounds I got from my father and put a cast on my wrist because I sprained it.
Fifteen minutes later I arrived at my childhood house. It was old, ugly and abandoned. The wood has rotten away and broken off at some points. It looked like a hell hole, to be short.I pulled out my phone and dialed Gio's number and pressed call. I put my sound on zero so that when he wouldn't hang up my father wouldn't know I was 'calling' my boyfriend for help.
It was Sunday morning and Gio was out for the day. He had to leave the house and go to the family business somewhere in town.I didn't even know they have a family business...Back to the point, everyone was out and I had the house all to my own fo
