Italian-American Mafia: Origin Story

29.

Persephone Pov

Freedom.

Freedom.

Freedom.

That word keeps repeating in my head over and over again. I'm finally free from their abuse. Their torture. Their unexplainable hatred towards me.

I can't help but have a little smile on my face. Some kids who get kicked out are sad, but me, I'm ecstatic.

But then realization came to me because I have no where to go. I'm walking through the cold dark night alone. The street lights are very dim so it gives of the illusion of being pitch black.

I take a look at my surroundings and notice that I'm in an okay part of time. I see a hotel not too far from here. I quickly walk as fast as I can while carrying my bags.

All this adrenaline in me is starting to ware off that I forgot about all of my injuries, because now the pain is starting to come back to me.

I look down to see my clothes torn, I have blood dripping from my head, along with blood dripping from inside my pants.

I have bruises all over my face and I'm pretty sure that I have a bump on my head as well. I don't have any shoes just socks which are now covered in dirt as well as my body.

My hair is a mess- I can just feel it. In reality I look like I just got out of a fight and lost.

I made it to the hotel and I just pray that the rooms are not expensive until I figure out my next move. I need to tell Hades that I'm not at that house anymore because he was supposed to go there tomorrow.

The automatic doors opened and I walked in. The hotel is pretty decent, doesn't look to posh. I try fixing my appearance but in the end I give up because I know I'm making myself look worse.

I walk up to the receptionist desk and press the bell. Some minutes go by before a lady walks up to me.

'Hello welcome to the "Time Away Hotel" how may I be at your services today' she asked politely.

'Hi can I have a room please- it doesn't really matter what the bed is I just need a room- preferably the cheapest one you have' I rambled on.

She nodded her head at me and started to press her fingers against the keys. Her eye brows are furred together. She then smiled and looks up at me.

'We have a room left for $48 a night and it has a king bed if that's fine with you' she said. I nodded my head frantically.

I gave her the money and she handed me my key card.

'Have a good night' she called out and I nodded my head as a thank you. Walking up to the elevator I pressed it and it opened.

I hit the 8th floor and the elevator door closed and starts moving. I close my eyes and breath heavily. I can't help but let the same smile take over my face again.

I hear the ding which indicates that we are on my floor. Quickly getting out I made it to my room after turning and walking down the hall.

I place the key on the magnet locked and it turned green. I opened it and let out a small sigh. I got my bags inside my room and locking the door.

I look around my hotel room and breathe in and out. I pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming as well. I'm actually here and free.

My smile fades when I realize I'm out and alone. I have no one.

I also have to keep track of my money situation because I can't just live off of what I got.

I rub my hands over my face and just scream out loud. Everything in my life has to be so complicated. I'm lucky enough to had found this hotel but where will this get me.

Releasing a breath I shake off my stress and go into the bathroom. I turn on the water and strip out of my clothes.

I wash my face and body- making a mental note that I need to go shopping for products because I left all of mines back there.

Turning off the water I get out and get dressed. I look inside my bag to see if I have any toothbrush which I don't, but I see mouthwash which this will do.

Gargling the mouthwash for about a minute before spitting it out, I shut the light off and close the bathroom door. I double check to make sure my room is locked.

I go over to the bed and undo everything before getting into it. I cut the light off and just think.

How can I have one good thing in my life but 100 different bad things.

When can I get a fucking break.

Sighing I toss and turn so I can get comfortable and let the darkness consume me.
