Keeping It Together

|29|Alive

Okay so Gio is alive, and I'll just explain the plot here before I do a flashback.

Bella never killed Gio. She lied. Both of their bodies were never viewed. And at the beginning, Hope was interrupted when they were going to dig up Gio's grave. So they never got an answer.

Gio is alive. He's been alive for years.

I hope that cleared it up.

Flashback

Both Gio and Celia we're walking down the street, hand in hand. Gio was making jokes about their time together when they use to do a midnight walk, back in high school while Celia just hums to everything.

Gio didn't find it weird, all he did was talk and let her enjoy the night.

Gio turn around stopping them in the alleyway to the restaurant, his arms wrapped around her waist. "Before we go to eat, I just want to ask if you are okay with my sister watching the kids?"

"Yes, I am totally fine-" she was cut off by the sound of what sounded like fireworks but then they heard it again.

This time he knew what it was.

Gunshot. Gio was about to run with her to safety but he felt her fall into his arms. He started to panic, and that was when he saw the blood, soaking her shirt. "G-gio?"

Tears fell down his face, as he stared at the blood.

So much blood. "H-HELP!" He yelled as he put pressure on the wound. She was falling unconscious.

That was he looked up to see a woman walking toward them. "H-hello!?"

He was confused, where the fuck did that bullet come from? Was it from a sniper?

The woman kept walking toward them, and that was when he saw her face and the gun in her hand. "I tried to warn you Gio but you wouldn't listen,"

Bella.

"Nate take her!" A man that he's never seen before walked up to him. And Gio started sobbing. "P-please don't kill her. Kill me, p-please."

He loved her some much, that he would die for her.

Nate still took her, shooting Gio a guilty look. When Nate was gone, Bella put her gun away. "W-why?" He sob as he stared at his bloody hands.

Her blood.

"That's not Celia Gio! Fuck you don't even recognize your wife!" Gio looked up at her, confused. "What are you talking about?"

"That woman is not Celia," she says, and Gio sobs. "You're fucking crazy,"

Bella sighs, and takes out a birthday paper and a picture. "Which one is your wife?" And threw it to him. With trembling hands, Gio picked up the picture and turned it over.

His eyes went wide. "Oh my God," he couldn't tell.

"Does she have a mole Gio?" Gio looked up at her, more tears falling down his face. As he nodded, he couldn't believe it. He didn't want to believe it.

"Where is my wife?" He whispers, but she heard him. Bella's eyes stared into his for a second before turning away.

All she heard was the sound of him sobbing. "Can I go home?" He choked out, all he could think about was his two boys.

"No, you cannot," Gio looked up to see a gun pointed at him. "Get up,"

And he did, he got up. "Let's go,"

And he followed her, not sure what to do. But all he could think about was his kids.
