Alessia's POV
When Andrea called me and told me she had a GSW to her torso, I immediately thought "what the hell were you doing?" It didn't matter what I thought in the end because my friend was shot and I had no idea where she was at.

Probably should have thought that through idiot.

I did manage to see where the call came from because her location was on. Oh God how I loved having an iPhone in these moments. I hopped on my motorcycle and headed to the restaurant.

When I walk in, I see a female likely in her early to mid 30's come up to me. She brought me to my friend and told me that they already alerted the paramedics. I waited by Andrea impatiently.

What is taking paramedics so long to aid a person who was unconscious with a gun shot in her abdomen.

I crouch down and looked at her laying on the floor.

"Listen bitch. I don't know what happened here but you need to get the fuck and and start walking. I'm not paying for a hospital bill and your not dying on me this easily. What am I supposed to tell your brother? Huh? Suck up your pain and get up like a big girl."

I waited for her to get up. How rude of her to be this dramatic with a gun wound. I look at my watch and curse under my breath. It's been 10 minutes and if someone don't do something, it will be harder for her to wake up.

I look up at the lady from before. "Can you get me a knife, towels, tweezers, a bucket of water and anything else you think would be helpful please?"

The lady ran to the back of the restaurant where I no doubt guess all the things I asked for are. She came back with a bag with everything and I started a procedure because was going to save my best friends life.

When I was a quarter way through the ambulance finally came. I told them the state she was at and what she needed. They thanked me for the fact that if I hadn't did anything she would be dead. I was then asked if I wanted to ride with them to the hospital and I said I was on my motorcycle and I would be closely behind.

Your probably wondering why wouldn't I ride with them. Well the answer is because I just put my hands inside of by best friend to save her life, I woke up only an hour ago and haven't eaten anything, and I can't bare to continue to see my friend fall close to death. I also have to call her brother and tell him to get his ass to Italy for the fact that his sister is unstable and needs family present.

When we arrived at the hospital, Andrea went immediately into surgery. I went to the cafeteria to try and find something to eat but was no longer in the mood. I did call Alonzo, Emily, and Samantha. They were already on the plane. So now I waited in the waiting room, ever so worried at if my best friend would make it.

I have lost many people in my life. All in the past year and a half. I lost my grandmother yesterday and I am most definitely not in the mood to loose Andrea.

It's been four hours. It's 12 in the afternoon. Everyone is here and we are awaiting the doctor.

A man in a scrub uniform came towards us. "Are you the family of Ms.Vansagolli?"

We all nodded our head yes.

"I'm going to be straight with you. She did loose a lot of blood and did flatline three times. Though she came through and is now in her patient room 236. She's being monitored keeping a close eye on her vitals and blood pressure. She's awake now if you want to see her." The doctor informed.

We walked to her room. Everyone came in quietly as she just came from surgery and the doc let her know we were here.

Before I went in the doctor did stop me. He said that he truly thanked me for stepping in and administrating to my friend at the restaurant and how it must have been hard to do such thing. He continued and said that if I wanted to talk about it he could recommend a therapist or something.

We already know my deal with them. I don't trust them one simple bit. I said thank you and shortly after walked in. Andrea smiled at me and I smiled back.

"You know I gave you a pep talk to stop being a dramatic person and wake up which didn't work."

She nodded.

"I'm just glad your doing okay now. But can I just ask what you were doing at Leonardo's." I said sitting down taking her hand in mine.

"I went there so I can get invitations for Thursday and this man wanted to test me. I took a risk and I got shot."

Alonzo looked at his sister like she had just did something illegal.

"What invitations? What's Thursday?" He asked.

"Gala that we were supposed to attend which we are no longer doing since she's shot. Andrea I told I would get them. You didn't have to go and throw yourself in that position."

"Oh no. No no no. Your going to that gala. You are going to find the man that is after us." She said in a loud spoken tone.

"Yeah and what will you be doing?" I said curious as to her sudden loudness.

"She will be back at home; In America and when all is well and the doctor gives you an all clear you can return here and finish whatever business you both started. And thats final. Neither of you are fighting me on this." Alonzo said in a strict stern voice.

"Okay." We both said in unison. We both weren't going to argue with him. If he said something was final, you best believe it was final and you were never going to change his mind.

The doctor came back in and checked her vitals and blood pressure, gave her her fluids, and asked if she would love to order anything.

"She's free to go so she'll be able to get her discharge papers at 4. With that I want to say I hope you all have a better rest of your day and night."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the rest of the day we took it chill. I did buy a thigh holster and two twin daggers. I did the liberty of supplying my check to the charity of choice given by the host. I also showed everyone my dress.

We also ding dong ditched almost everyone in our hotel. Order room service. And shall I mention went out to Walmart where we acted a complete fool of ourselves and got kicked out. I guess you can say that we were children in adult bodies.

We also did some things that Emily wanted which included going to the movies to watch Tom and Jerry. I can not tell you how it went because I slept throughout the movie.

When we finally came back to our hotel room us girls did face masks and talk while Alonzo and baby Emily watched tv.

I have nothing to say for this chapter except this was a very chill chapter in my opinion compared to those that are coming up.
