Loving You With Blood

Chapter 6

~I'll stop being mean when you stop being stupid~

L E O N A R D O

My mom and dad are whispering the whole time back. I let Giovanna and Niccolo take my Range Rover since my mom wanted to be with Ellora.

"Leonardo, did you even tell her the plan?" My mom asks, referring to Ellora. I shut my eyes tightly, trying to evaporate myself from this question.

"No."

My dad rolls his eyes then fists his hands. I ignore him as I drive, Ellora in the passenger seat beside me.

When I stop at a light, Ellora jumps up. Her chest is heaving, her eyes bloodshot as she frantically looks around.

"Hey, hey, hey," my mom coos, leaving forward as she touches Ellora. Ellora yanks herself away from her, pushing herself against the door.

"Let me out," she orders, desperately trying to unlock the door.

"You were drugged Ellora so there's no way in hell that I'm letting you out," I tell her, speeding up slightly so we can arrive to the estate sooner.

She sighs in defeat, leaning her head back. My dad gives her his suit jacket, but she tosses it back at him.

"Ellora, you were saying something before you passed out, do you remember?" I ask, recalling the events.

"Yeah, I said 'fuck you'," she responds, rolling her eyes. She's definitely back to herself.

I roll my eyes back, turning up my driveway. I don't know what made my parents decide on a long ass driveway, but I don't like it. It's annoying as fuck.

Ellora basically jumps out the second I unlock the car. I expect her to wobble or something, but she walks out like she's on a runway.

"How is she walking so perfect when she was just drugged?" I ask, looking at my parents. My mom looks at my dad, then my mom nods. I expect an answer, but she just leaves the car as well.

"Well what is it?" I question at my dad. He shakes his head, then leaves the car but before he closes the door he says something to me. "Son, it would've gone perfectly if you actually trusted Ellora, now we have no victims to question because she killed them but it's not all her fault."

I change into my pajamas. It consists of a black hoodie and black sweatpants. Classic.

I immediately went to shower after I left the car. Aurora told me to come back down after but I don't want to.

I groan as I open my door then walk down the stairs. I stole one of Alessandro's nike slippers so when I walk down it makes the clapping noises against my feet and steps.

We have bonded over time. I was actually surprised that I let him in, I usually would've kicked him in the balls then toss him out my door. But instead, we watched a movie marathon together and ended up falling asleep.

He was kind enough to exit my bed when he realized he fell asleep, and we've been good ever since.

I halt in my steps, watching the scene in front of my unravel. Leonardo is yelling with his family, even Niccolo is there.
