Runs In The Family

NARRATION

"Are you purposely trying to break my leg!?"

Liv glared at her husband as they stood in their hallway. The soldiers quickly fled the house as the couple argued.

The couple who everyone looked up to. The couple everyone relied on. The glue to the whole mafia. Without them, all of this was pointless.

"You think I wanna break your leg?" said Liv, throwing her keys on the counter as they walked into the kitchen "no Mattia, I wanna break your heart into a million pieces, just like you did mine"

Trixie walked into the kitchen, one hand behind her back holding onto Hendrix's hand.

"Why can't you listen to a single thing I say!?"

"Cause anything that comes out of your mouth is complete bullshit!" screamed Liv. Trixie saw small veins sticking out in her neck as she raised her voice at her Father.

"Did it ever occur to you that you're actually hurting me by saying all this?" asked Mattia, facing his wife as her brown eyes grew wide.

"You're hurt!?" she shrieked, going over to him and jabbing her finger in his chest.

"I have a fucking right to be angry but you? You're nothing! Did you hear me? Nothing!" she shouted, her eyes slowly filling with tears as she tried her hardest to compose herself to maintain the argument.

"Liv please she didn't mean anything.."

"Oh my god, I don't care!" she exclaimed, walking back and forth with her hands running through her hair "I really don't fucking care what she meant to you, Mattia"

"All I care about is this fa-"

"Don't" she interrupted "you've ruined this family, you've taken away any kind of potential happiness we could've had, you don't have the right to call me or Trixie your family"

"That's not fair!" he argued, becoming defensive.

"No Mattia, you wanna know what's not fair? You, going on a 6 month mission and just completely forgetting about us"

"You know it wasn't like that, Liv"

"No texts, no calls, just fucking silence" she said, shaking her head as she poured a glass of alcohol for herself "you might as well have been dead"

"Mom!" said Trixie, catching the attention of both adults. Her Mom shrugged, taking a sip.

"What can I do to make you forgive me?" asked Mattia, walking over to her. She stared at him, her breathing slowly starting to increase as they locked eyes for a second.

"Answer my question" she said, watching Mattia become slightly confused.

"If she was alive, would you be here right now?"

There was an uncomfortable silence as it became clear what Mattia's answer was. Trixie covered her mouth whilst Olivia let out a sob, leaning against the counter.
