For Your Love. {Damiano David}

Chapter Nine - Parental Argument.

November 6th 2020

"I asked you to do one thing Luke! One fucking thing!" I hear my mothers voice from all the way down the hall. The yelling had woken me up from my very fucking deep slumber. I felt like I was on Mars or some shit. I'm immediately greeted with a painful headache and I'm reminded of last night adventures, I forgot how brutal drinking was. 

"She's your fucking mother Maria! You fucking do it, all you've done is sat on your lazy arse while I run around doing every single fucking thing possible. I need a break"

"We've been here five fucking days! You need a break now? I've been sat with my mother you piece of shit!" 
There's a small knock on my door and without thinking I call out "Come in" 
My bedroom door pushes open and Alessia shuffles inside, visually upset. She was clutching Freddie bear tightly in her hands with a few tear stains on her cheek. 

"Come here bug" I wave her over as she immediately rushes over to me. I pull her onto my lap to feel her whole body trembling, she was terrified. Mum and dad were never the ones for having arguments like that but when they did have an argument, it could get pretty heated. 

"It's okay bug, I'm here" I kiss her forehead, rocking her slowly. "Where's Damiano?" I question to distract her from the noise. 

"He's with Nonna" She replies. Fucking hell. Did my parents have no respect whatsoever? I mean Nonna isn't well, the last thing she needs is a screaming match like that. Damiano and I argue somewhat quietly with occasional door slams but that's only when she decides to sleep in the bedroom downstairs. Alessia didn't need to hear this either.

"Come on bug, let's go and see nonna" I sigh, picking her up and leaving my bedroom with her clutching onto me. I walk next door and open the door to see Nonna was holding her head in pain as Damiano handed her a painkiller. He glances up at me, blanking me completely. I knew he wasn't happy with me after last night but right now I didn't give a shit. 

"Stay here with Nonna and Dee just now okay? I'll be back" I kiss her cheek before placing her down on the bed next to Nonna who immediately wraps the girl in her arms protectively. I storm out of the room and down the hall to their bedroom where all the shouting was coming from. 
I shove open the door to see they were heatedly screaming into each others faces, inches apart. Fucking hell. Their attention turns to me when they hear me slam their bedroom door behind me as I glare at them both.

"Eve get out" My dad spits angrily.

"No. Nonna's laying in her bed ill and you two are standing here screaming at each other over looking after nonna? Do you know how bad that's going to make her feel when she already feels fucking terrible. Alessia just came into my room, crying her eyes out because you're scaring her so much. Wrap this up now and avoid each other for the rest of the day" I command, my arms folded. 

"I said get out" My dad repeats.

"Not until you both shut up" I shake my head.

"So it's ganging up on me then huh?! Fine, have it fucking your way. I'll let you all play happy families for however long it's going to last. Enjoy your fucking day" He shoves past me angrily. He had some fucking anger issues, let me tell you that.

"Look what you've done now" My mum shakes her head angrily. 

"I did you a favour mum" I scoff at her. Was she serious right now?

"Get out" She avoids looking at me, walking over to her bed to sit down. I couldn't believe this right now... sometimes it shocked me that I was actually related to the two of them.

"Fine. Sorry for trying to benefit Nonna" I spit, storming out of the room and making sure to slam the fuck out of her door. I just wanted to scream into a pillow right now. 
I quickly walk back down the hall and into my own bedroom, slamming yet another door. I take a few deep breaths as I rest my head against the wall, trying to calm myself down. I was so angry that I didn't even hear my bedroom door open. An arm takes my hand softly and spins me around, pulling me into their chest. Damiano of course.

I wrap my arms around his waist tightly as he kisses the top of my head. It was odd how well he calmed me down, all he had to do was hug me and things immediately started to feel better, I thought I would have put up more of a fight.

"It's okay" He mumbles against my head as I let out another deep breath. 

.....

Damiano, Nonna, Alessia and I were all sat on the couch watching the polar express. Alessia was cuddled in Damiano's lap as I cuddled into Nonna, watching the film peacefully. Mum had stormed out an hour ago and if we're anything alike it's our habits to cope. I knew perfectly well where she had gone. I smile as Alessia giggles at the boy with the glasses in the film. 

"You both don't have to stay in with us all day" Nonna mentions to Damiano and I. I didn't mind. 

"We don't mind Nonna, we like spending time with you"

"You both should be out enjoying each others company while it lasts" She jokes, making us both crack a smile. She wasn't wrong, who knew when the next argument was. "Please, enjoy yourselves"

Both of us lean over and kiss a cheek each before getting up from the couch to see Alessia immediately cuddle up to Nonna, it melted my heart every time.

"We won't be home too late" I smile.

"Nonsense. Enjoy yourself, for however long that may be" 

"We could go for some drinks with Vic, Ethan and Thomas?" Damiano suggests as I nod along slowly, liking the idea. 

"Well I'm going to get ready, meet me at the gate in forty minutes"
