black lace - mattia polibio

stupid gets you killed.

she misses home , mattia , her friends , and everyone she called family. now she feels alone like she promised herself she wouldn't be. she doesn't feel loved here at all. 

she knows that being kidnapped and almost stabbed to death isn't all full of joy , but it's different from the first time. the first time was an experience for her. 

at least he didn't put his hands on her or call her bitchy names that he wouldn't dare call his mother. 

it just doesn't feel like a place to all her home.

" you have been asking me this same fucking question the first time i got her and i keep giving you the same answer , i.don't.know.where.it.is," she spits bubbly blood from getting a face full of fist.

" then we will just keep hurting you until you die," a soldier smirks as if she cares. she rather die than keep having to go through this torture. but she can't die yet , they don't want her to. 

" you've tried plenty of times. every week they drag a pile of dead soldiers out of here." she rolls her eyes. " and get me out of these fucking rope ties."

" you know , i actually like you. your attitude and your loyalty." another soldier speaks. " i'm pretty sure xavier doesn't mind you being on the team."

all she could think of is how fucking stupid they are for even bringing up that. 

" sorry but fuck no , my loyalty resides with the panthers. if you don't like it take it up with mattia , oh that's right you cant find it you shit talking pieces of shit." 

" thats it tape back up her mouth , i've had enough of hearing it." 

- mattia

" what's the matter? please don't tell me your reconsidering this whole thing." alejandro ask me. 

" no , what am i gonna do when i see her again. how am i supposed to look her in the face after i thought she was dead for 3 months straight?"

" all you need to worry about is getting her out of there alive , trust me you'll figure out the rest once you have her." alejandro responds. 

i rise from my chair and fix my shirt , as much as i would like to believe what he said i just can't. i have been struggling to stick to one plan. at this point i'm feel like i just wanna barge in a blast everyone's head off. 

" well let's get-"

" mattia we got some bad fucking news," mark rushes into my office. " come to the media center , it's about avery."

we all speed walk to the media room with almost half of everyone who lives in this house. i don't know what the fuck is happening but the silence is to confusing for me to understand. behind us the door opens , kairi , jessica and camila walk in. 

" a few minutes ago an anonymous person sent a video to our email," ali states. " the video has not been opened yet but the only thing was avery's name left into the description."

he presses the link to the video and loading screen shows avery sitting in a chair tied up. the image alone is traumatizing. 

" hey mattia , a little word on the street says you found my message. now you pretty little girlfriend here is getting weaker and weaker everyday." xavier starts to speak. 

he moves from the screen and the camera shows avery's body pale and bruised. she looks like she is hanging onto the little life she has left. 

" now avery , do you have any last words before we send this to mattia?"  he questions as she walks over to her and tugs on her hair holding a knife to her neck. 

anger rises in my blood from him even laying a finger on her. " mattia , i know you feel like you have forever but you dont sorry hurry tf up. and for you xavier get off me." she struggles to say.

" anyways , ill be waiting for you here. um you have 48 hours to come get her or else she is gonna die and i will do it for real this time." xavier pushes her head forward.

then the video cuts off and the room is still. 

" at least we know she is alive," kairi whispers in my ear. 

" how tf are we supposed to this in two fucking days? half of these people haven't even started training yet" mark adds in. 

i walk out of the room in pure anger. i'm upset , frustrated , sad , and happy all at once. i don't know how to control my emotions at all. can even show them either. all i know is i need to come up with something and fast. 

" ayoo mattia , slow the fuck down." kairi shouts from behind me. " you need to control yourself and stop being stupid."

" how? how kairi? i cant because i don't know how. all of this makes me so fucking angry" i say displeased. 

" anger makes you stupid. stupid gets you fucking killed." kairi pokes my chest hard. " im not letting my capo die in the hands of xavier because he wants to be stupid." 

i let out a sigh because in the end kairi always seems to be right about something. no matter what it is.
