My Girl

part 7

During the car ride a light scatter of rain had began. It wasn't heavy thankfully. Small parts of thunder and lightning. Nothing unusual.

I stepped out onto the tarmac before opening the door for Victoria. I looked over at the landing plane, my mother's. Soon enough the plane door opened and my youngest brother, Luca, only age 5 ran out. Quickly followed by Lorenzo, he was 7. They both came running towards me.

As soon as they where in arms reach I engulfed them in a big hug. By the time I moved away my mother was stood infront of me.

"Oh my boy.. its only been 6 months but you've changed so much" one of her hands cupped my cheek as she looked at me, "I presume she's your fiancé?" My mother questioned while looking at Victoria.

"Oh yes!" I pulled Victoria forward by her hand and let my arms rest round her waist, "Victoria this is Luca, Lorenz and my mother, Francesca!" Luca began tugging on my fiancé's dress.

"Luca. Leave her alone." I warned him but Victoria just chuckled, "He's fine!" She crouched down to my younger brother, "Hi! In Victoria! Your Luca?" She smiled at him.

"Yeah! You look like a princess! Like belle from beauty and the beast!" He giggled as Victoria looked up at me. "Which makes Gabriel the beast!" The girl giggled along with my brother. Cheeky buggers.

*Victorias pov*

I was crouched down besides Luca. He continued to ramble on about how one day he was going too marry a princess when there was a loud bang.

"Quick! Go too the cars!!! Go!!!" Gabriel screamed. What was happening? I scanned round and saw dozens of men surrounding us all with guns. Grenades where being thrown, bullets being shot.

Gabriel scooped up Lorenzo while his mother grabbed Luca. His arm went over me in attempt to protect me. He rushed us all into the car and I was expecting him too get in to but instead he slammed the door shut and the driver rolled down his window.

"Take them home. Anything happens to them I kill you. Oh and get more men." Befire I could do anything the doors locked and the car began pulling away. Soon enough it was going top speed down the airport tarmac taking out anything and anyone in its path.

Bullets had continued to be shot at us but only small scratches on the windows appeared. Suddenly I heard a loud ding. It was repetitive and got louder and more high pitched as seconds passed. Then suddenly. Everything went dark. All I could see was smoke and fire. I found who I presumed to be Luca and Lorenzo. "Boys?! Can you see your mum?!" I screamed.

I managed too help them up as they scanned the area, suddenly one of them slipped away from my grip. Shit. I picked up who I discovered to be Luca and ran after Lorenzo. I found him crouched down in the rubble pulling stones off.. Francesca. I put Luca down and pulled Lorenzo towards his younger brother.

"Boys listen to me. I'm going to go find Gabriel. Stay here. Don't go anywhere. Stick with eachother." I got up and made my way out of the smoke. As I stepped into the battlefield a man grabbed me. I screamed automatically but was quickly shushed.

"Miss Victoria! I work for your Fiancé! It's okay! Where are his brothers and mother! Show me too them!" A muscular man informed me. I began pulling him towards where I left the boys.

After a few minutes of travelling through the smoke that was slowly lightening I found them. They both ran towards me. "Where's Gabriel?!" The older of the pair screamed now crying.

"Uhm I'm not sure but this man works for him!" I turned to the man, "Their mum is stuck under the rubble I'm not sure if she's breathing.." he nodded and gestured for us too follow. I grabbed the boys hands and began walking with the man.

"Where are we going sir?" I questioned only now realising I didn't have a clue who this man was apart from he worked for Gabriel.

"Doesn't matter." He mumbled. Immediately I grew suspicious. "I think I'll get us home by ourselves then.." This angered the man. He grabbed Luca quickly. "Go on then. Leave." The man barked. Shit. I knew I shouldn't have trusted him!!!

Luca began hitting and crying in fear. "GABRIEL!!!! MUMMY!!!! I WANT MUMMY!!!!" His screams echoed through the airport.

I held Lorenzo close too me unsure on what to do. "Hey.. hey.. please don't hurt him.. he's only a boy! Take me! They need me right now! Otherwise their business is vulnerable!" I begged. This mysterious man was clearly thinking about it.

Suddenly, gunshots rung through my ears. What happened? Had the boys been shot? Was I shot? I turned round too see Mateo and Gabriel stood there, Guns poised. The man's body dropped too the floor as Luca jumped out of his grip.

Both boys ran too their brothers. Jumping into their arms. I stood there shaking as I stared at the body on the floor. "Victoria?" Gabriel's voice spoke behind me.
I turned and hugged him tightly. He was took aback but wrapped his arms round me. "Where's my mum?.." his voice shook almost as if he knew the answer.

I stayed silent. If she had been breathing before she certainly wouldnt now. Her ribs would've only been able to hold the weight for so long. Before her lungs where crushed. If I had just helped her..I  began sobbing uncontrollably.

"Hey. Its fine. It isn't your fault. But I have an idea. The plane. You and the boys will go on it and get out of here." He spoke. I simply shook my head. I couldn't. I won't. "Go to England. No arguments. I'll come get you when it's safe."

Mateo and Gabriel escorted us onto the jet. I sat down and the boys sat opposite me. "Victoria?" A voice spoke. I looked over at the boys. "Where are we going?" Lorenzo spoke. I gulped befire telling them that we are going back too my home in England.

All I could hear was explosions and gunshots. Please let Gabriel and Matei make it out alive.
