Protected

Running as fast as I could, a tall, dark haired man was chasing me. He wouldn't stop. I couldn't run any longer my legs were in agony. My body felt like it was going to fall to the ground. My heart was pounding like a drum in my chest, my breath was becoming harder to catch. And then I fell. BANG!

"NO!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. I sat up and put my hand on my chest, "my heart was beating so fast" I thought. As I tried to take my hand off of my chest my fingers were stuck to my shirt. My shirt was soaking wet.

Quickly, I jumped out of bed and took of my top. My eyes scanning inside my drawers for a new shirt to wear, the door opened. I looked up and it was Matteo a friend of mine. My body jumped with shock. "What the hell are you doing, your supposed to knock you know I'm in my bra for god sake" he stared for a long while until he realised what he was doing. "sorry Aria I didn't mean to ill knock next time" he said in a panicking voice closing his eyes.

I looked at him and asked "what are you doing in here anyway?" He turned around so he was now facing the wall and answered "I heard you scream I though you were in trouble" my hands quickly grabbed a new shirt from my drawer, "why would I be in trouble?"

He went silent for a second. And then said "your dad is in a fight with another mafia" I pushed my arms and head threw the holes in my top. "What? Again" rolling my eyes "you can turn around now" he turned round and looked at me up and down and shook his head. "Yup"

Suddenly my door swung open. "What are you doing in my sisters room Matt" it was my older brother Enzo. He stood up against the wall, with a cigarette in his mouth and his raven black hair slicked back.

I was scared of Enzo. I'm 18 years old, almost an adult and I'm still scared of him. Matt's face dropped as his pupils widened with fear. "So you going to answer or-"  "shut up Enzo" that was the first time I had ever stood up to him. He walked up to me until his face and my face were almost touching. "What did you say?" My heart skipped a beat. Why did I say that? Thinking to myself.

Looking up at him I whispered "nothing" he stepped back and grabbed Matt by the throat and implied "I can kill him right in front of your little eyes if I wanted to" "no! Enzo please stop I'll do anything please stop, don't kill him" he tightened his grip, Matteos feet lifted off of the ground. I shouted "ENZO STOP" looking at me in the eyes he released his grip on Matt's throat, and his body dropped onto the floor. He then whispered in Matts ear "next time your in my sisters room I'll kill you" he smiled at me and closed the door.

Matt looked up at me "what the actual hell is wrong with him" he said trying to catch his breath. Shrugging my shoulders i lied down next to Matt and looked at him "so as we are already awake should we go do something?" Sitting up he shouted "what in the flipping french fries u can't be serious your brother almost killed me!" Looking at him, my hand grabbed his and we snuck out of the house.

I never go out because I'm never allowed. I'm constantly under protection as I'm my fathers only daughter.

My legs stopped walking for a moment and a memory came back.
