You (don't) Know Me

Silence.

For a moment, just a moment, I could feel his strong arms envelope me and I felt safe.
The sound of a gunshot went off almost instantly after he had hurdled himself on top of me.

Why protect me now? You'd risk your life, you'd risk a bullet to the chest like it's nothing.. so why did you break my heart? You were supposed to protect it.

But that moment was over now.

Coming to my senses, I pushed his weight off of me and jumped to my feet prepared to be met with the body of one of my teammates, my family.
Instead I met the face of the last enemy standing.. well not really standing.
Scanning my eyes around the warehouse, I could see my team were making their way out with the last of the cargo and I eagerly followed, I need air.
Before I was forced around I knew his hands were on me, keeping me still, the feeling was so familiar but I cannot allow myself to embrace him as I normally would.

He swung me round to meet his eyes but mine? My eyes were focused on his smile, it wasn't his normal smirk or chuckle that made me weak at the knees, it was his genuine, proud smile, like I had just agreed to spend the rest of my life with him, I allowed myself to get lost in it because I know it's a smile I will never see again.

"Theo?"

I slapped him across the face like that bitch from eastenders, and instantly cringed for acting so girly at a time like this.
Nevertheless, it stunned him for a minute so that I could get a head start on making my way to the truck.

"Hey! That was pretty cute y'know." He smirked at my petty attempt to harm him, at least I'd accomplished wiping the smile of his face.

He reached for me, "Alright, lay it on me what did I do?"
"Don't you dare play stupid, you're many things but you're not simple so let's cut to the chase" Shit. I was walking back towards him, this wasn't gonna end well.

"Everyone told me to stay away from you. You're an arrogant little rich boy who bought his way into the mafia and has been trying to make up for it ever since by training all day and screwing sluts all night." The pain was surfacing in his eyes but he composed himself quickly.
"You've always been a scared little bitch, doing exactly what daddy tells you just to win his approval. You've killed and you've fought and you've faked injuries just for a speck of attention but I never thought you'd stoop so low as to parade yourself around."
"So how'd it go? Was he bursting with pride? Was he overjoyed that his disappointment son had finally shagged a girl and become a real man? Well go on! Was he?!"

I had only started to notice the hot tears falling from my eyes at record breaking speeds when his walk finally broke.
He'd already showed his pain, he'd been crying but now he'd moved on to rage, his purest form of pain.

"What in fucks name is going on with you?"He spat.

"You cheated on me Luca."

He has never looked so distraught, I was meant to be his comfort, I was the one person he confided in and I'd thrown it all in his face.

"Are you really stupid enough to believe that I'd cheat on you? Where's this come out of huh? Madeleine? Scott? Or did you take your overthinking to the ultimate level and think of this all on your own?" He towered over me, even at his young age.

"Does it matter? Do you think I'm thick? I know it happened and you can't lie your way out of this."

He was looking at me with hatred.. I hate the thought of it but that's what it is.. it's hatred.
And it only made me go even harder.

"You made me think you'd changed, but you will always be that little boy trying to impress his father"

"Theo-"

"All you do is look after yourself."

"I just jumped in front of a bullet for you Theo how the fuck can you not see how much you mean to me?!"

"You've manipulated me and I'm not letting it happen again. I've wasted years of my life on you, heck I've saved your ass countless times and god knows I fucking love you."

Silence.

"Then princess you have one very simple question to ask yourself." He stepped so close that I could taste the mint off his breath.
"Why did you put yourself through all that fucking trouble of looking after the charity case when I don't love you?"

"Wha-"

"You think I love you? You think I lie up at night thinking about you? You think I can't get you out of my head? You think I have this burning need to have you in my arms? You think I want you? Well let me burst your bubble sweetheart because the only charity case here is your pathetic insecure ass. So you can take your emotions. HECK take mine too why don't you. And get the fuck out of my life."

Hi lovesss:3
This is my second book and I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry for being inactive with my last book but I have serious high hopes for this one.

What do you guys think of our two main characters?
Should I do a chapter of all the characters and their aesthetics?

Thank you.
Happy reading:)
