Is He Dead?(Luca x Alberto)

DAD!?

Before reading this I would just like to warn you because this chapter is v v sad. But uhhhhhh I hope you like it =)

Luca's pov

It's been about a week since Alberto's surgery.

He hasn't talked to anyone since that night and I'm starting to get worried about him. All he ever does is sleep and occasionally eat. There is nothing I can do about it, I've tried everything.

But all that seems to do is make things worse. Yesterday I told a nurse that Alberto wasn't eating and she force fed him so now I've stopped telling Amy things. She can be controlling at times towards Alberto even though it's not his fault he was hit by a harpoon.

Maybe she knows he's a sea monster?

Alberto is still sleeping and I've tried holding his hand a few times but he only allows me to while he's sleeping, it feels wrong to do that though. I haven't held his hand in a while.

Alberto's pov

I hate this feeling. It's just like after I didn't eat for a week at a time. My dad wasn't there to feed me so what else was there to do.

I had to teach myself everything and I still don't even know if I'm doing it right.

I can't hold down anything recently and I don't know if that's because of the surgery or not. Amy gave me a strict diet I have to go by anyway so what's the point.

Might as well eat air and it would be the same thing.

I don't want to talk to anyone, not even Luca unless I can be with him alone but how would he know that. I can't tell him.

Everything keeps going by so fast as well. Amy keeps talking non stop as usual.

Luca keeps trying to hold my hand.

Giulia and Luca keep sneaking off together and that sure doesn't help.

Which I can't believe him. Why would he say he likes me and then go off with Giulia and not even tell me what they are doing. But I have no control other then when I sleep and eat. Which is all I'm good for anymore.

I want Luca to hold my hand tighter when I pull it away but I can't be mad at him for not doing it. It's not like he knows.

I start to get so in my thoughts that I forget I am fake sleeping and end up crying without noticing. Luca grabs my hands and says "Hey Alberto what's wrong?"

Ugh I want to talk so bad right now but I can't, I can't get the words out. I start feeling dizzy and can barely open my eyes anymore. Maybe I should try to eat something again. This is the longest I've gone without water though, so maybe a bath would be better.

I want to move and hug Luca but I can't. I can't move.

My body isn't working anymore. I can't open my eyes and nothing is sitting right. Luca starts yelling for Amy and holding my hand. But I can't hold back or move away so I just stay and slowly fade.

____________

Everything is dark. I can't see myself anymore and the only force of light is a small dot far in the distance. But what's the point it's to far and I can't move anyway.

It gets closer and bigger until I start seeing a defined figure. Wait, is that Luca?!

It gets closer and closer until it gets taller and wider and I realize, that's not Luca at all.

Fear, hatred and betrail start running through me. All I can do is cry and try to move but I'm chained to the tower behind me.

"DAD!" I scream as I shrink down into the small boy I used to be before he left.

"Why did you leave me?"I crumble down into myself and everything is falling in. My Dad tried to catch me but gives up mid way and the tower and chains all fall down onto me.

I can't breath or move and everything hurts. Not just my body but my feelings as well.

Soft familiar hands pick me up and carry me to the surface but I'm so drained. I can't look at them or try to talk.

They set me down and start speaking "I didn't leave you Alberto."

I continue crying but it's harder now. My tears can't stop rolling down my face and I move my arm over my eyes. It's my dad again.

"I know what I had said to you, but it's not how it seems." He tries making it up to me in so many ways and in so many versions. Over and over again like it's on replay.

I can't listen to that voice anymore. I can't hear that man's voice ever again he makes me so mad.

"Silencio Bruno" I say to him.

"What?" He stops replaying and moves my hand out of my face, he looks so disappointed.

"I said silencio Bruno." I sit up and stare him down. He looks away a bit and gets nervous. He better after the shit he's made me go through.

"Don't talk to your father like that young man!" He shakes his figure at me and talks so firmly. I hate it when he does that.

I can't believe he still thinks he's my father.

I don't think I miss him anymore...

He pushes my shoulders down like what he did when I was a kid and forces eye contact "Don't. Talk. To. Me. Like. That."

He puts pauses in his words and my belly drops. I look down and relax myself forgetting he has control again. I don't even know where I am.

What's happening?

The last thing I remember is needing water so why am I here now?

My dad let's go and stands up facing the opposite direction of me. "Meet me at the food court at 10. Don't bring Luca. And don't act like I wasn't ever there. I've been watching you."

Everything starts coming back and I sit up gasping for air. I can't breath what just happened. Luca puts his hand on my shoulder and starts to talk but I can't understand him, not with his hand on my shoulder. Not with him sounding worried.

I look back at him not realizing I probably have a stink face since I feel suppressed by him.

He let's go of my shoulder and jumps back. But that just makes me cry more. There's not privacy in this room. I can't even cry on my own. Everything is hitting me again.

I am so overwhelmed and drained.

"Luca  I'm sorry.." I cry quietly. I forgot I have a voice I haven't talked in so long. Not here anyway.

"Alberto wait what happened. Are you okay?" Luca grabs me into a hug and rubs my back. I want to hug back but I'm still so limp. My body isn't back yet. It's still drained. Just like my mind.

"What time is it?" I ask, I don't want to see my dad but I need to know if he will be there for once in his life.

"That doesn't matter right now, what's wrong?" He sounds so worried still and I hate it. I just need to know the time.

"Luca." I say pushing him back so I can look him in the face.

"Its 9:55, why do you need the time?"

"I need to go, get my wheel chair and do not follow me!" I sound mad. I hate that. But I need to see if he's there.

Thanks for reading. Sorry this is so sad I've been listening to "as the world caves in" a lot recently which I know doesn't necessarily match this chapter bit it has a sad vibe to it in my opinion so it's leaked into the chapter. The next one shouldn't be as sad though.
