Keeping It Together

Hope

"Hey, get up!" a voice mutters, shaking me.

My eyes flutter open and landed on the man. Seeing him made all the memories from early come rushing back. I shoot up from the bed and look around the room.

"That cagna!" I yelled, frustrated. I look over at the man, who had a frown on his face.

I gave him a look."What?"

He shook his head, turning away his hands folded. He walks over to a pipe, grabbing a white plastic cup. He turned on the water, and when he was done filling the cup, he out the pipe and then turn to me. "Here drink this,"

Taking the cup from him, I drank the water. "Thanks," I said when I was done.

He hums in reply, as he takes the empty cup from my hand. "Where are we?" I finally asked, looking around the room which only had one bucket, which I'm guessing is for private business.

The thought of using a bucket to do private business causes goosebumps to appear on my arms. "Celeste personal dungeon," he says, with a little bit of sarcasm.

I look around the room, noticing words on the walls, writing in chalk.

I miei figli

My sons.

Written along with two sketch drawings of two children.

I look back to the man, who seemed fidgety, as he paced around.

He looked so much like...

"Are you Gio?" This question seems to stop him in his tracks, causing him to look at me.

Before he could answer the sound of the door opening caused him to stand in front of me. "Gio darling, how are you?" His shoulders relax when the lady walked in.

"Ms. Rosalie, I'm doing fine. Where's Celeste?" He steps aside when he realizes that this lady wasn't a threat to me I guess.

The lady, who walked in, also known as Ms. Rosalie looked at me, her mouth turn into a frown. "Oh, I didn't know you have a company, who's this?" She asked, and I couldn't help but see the sadness in her eyes.

"This is.." He turns to take a look at me. "My niece, Hope,"

My eyes went a little wide, and so did Miss Rosalie's eyes. "Niece didn't know you have any siblings," My uncle Gio chuckled. "There's a lot of things you don't know about me, Miss Rosalie,"

Miss Rosalie nodded her head. "Oh, I know that,"

"Well, Celeste requests you both be downstairs," she sadly says, before leaving.

She leads the way and then left when we reached the dining area.

I looked at the men, standing all around the dining room.

All armed with guns.

That was when I spotted him.

Nicolas.

His eyes made contact with mine, and in seconds he was glaring at me as if I had killed his cat.

"Oh if it isn't my two darlings, come on sit down!" Celeste says, gesturing for us to sit. Gio sat down with a sigh, and I sat down glaring back at Nicolas.

"Now, Now Hope and Nicky, behave," She told us, a smile on her lips.

Celeste sat down. And start to eat her slice of cheese pizza.

I look down at the knife in front of me.

I'm just so tired, so I did what I had to do.

I grab the knife and stab it into her right hand.

Celest screamed, and I was yanked out of the chair by none other than Nicholas who had a gun pointed at my face. I could hear Gio pleading in the background, while I just stare at the gun that was aimed at my face.

His finger pressed on the trigger. "This is for my dad-"

Bullets started to fly, and one so happens to hit him right in his side. Using that as my way out, I hit in the face. Nicolas fell to my right side, clutching his wound.

I felt strong arms, pick me. "Let's go," Gio says, dragging me away from a freaking gun war.

"SHIT!" Gio yells as a bullet hits him in the leg.

Just as he was about to fall,

Jordan came from the front door, he lowers his gun. "Dad," he whispers, as he ran over to us. He threw his father's left arm over his shoulder and we carried him out of the house.

When we reached outside, I spotted Hayden who was waiting in a black Van.

Hayden didn't wait for us to reach, he ran to us. And quickly pulled me in a hug.

"You need to stop getting kidnapped," he kisses my forehead. "Blake's never letting you out of his sight ever again,"

I didn't say a word, as I hug him tight.

"Let's go home, Hope,"
