Rock 'N Roll never dies (Ethan Torchio x Female Reader)

Chapter 11 - Trauma

"Where's Ethan?" I looked up at Damiano, trying to read his mind through his eyes. But he looked away from me.
"Damiano. Answer me. Please" I held his shoulders and tried to make him look at me.

"The hospital." He answered and let a tear fall. I let him go slowly and looked down. Fuck... This was my fault...

Damiano's POV

Fuck... Fuck fuck fuck! Why the fuck didn't we look out for her?! Fuck! This shit should've never happened!

"Damiano answer me, please!" (Y/n) shook me. I looked at her and let a tear fall. I hugged her and started to cry.

"(Y/n)... I'm so... I'm so sorry... " I cried into her shoulder.

Thomas' POV

This is crazy. Why didn't we tell her to stay with us? Rome was fucking dangerous at the moment. We didn't know why exactly now... But it was.

"He's alive, right? " Victoria looked at me. I nodded softly.

"I hope so..." She helped me sit down on a chair and cleaned my face carefully.

"Can you tell me what happened?" I took a deep breath and nodded.

"When you left we tried to scare them away... But they were so strong... They almost broke my nose, almost punched Damiano's teeth out... But Ethan stood in front of us to protect us... " I looked down.
"We should've pushed him away... I was in shock and couldn't move... They just pushed him on the floor... " I started to cry...

(Y/n) 's POV

"They kicked his face and body... They didn't stop... I tried to pull them back... I did... " Damiano cried so much he almost couldn't breathe anymore. I hugged him tight and stroke his hair.

"I'm so sorry... This is all my fault... I didn't know this would happen... " I held my tears, but Damiano shook his head.

"You didn't know... Nobody would know what would happen... He protected us... This fucking selfless asshole... " He cried, and I comforted him.

"Please don't blame yourself Damiano. You probably saved my life... Though now I wish you didn't... " I looked down. He looked at me.

"What are you talking about? "

"If you let them rape and... Maybe kill me... You three wouldn't be in this mess. I'm so sorry I dragged you into this-" Suddenly I felt a sharp pain on my cheek. I looked at Damiano... He slapped me...

"Shut the fuck up! We would never let anyone touch you when we can stop it! Ethan cares so much about you that he risked his own life for you! Please be so kind and shut up about what should've happened. You're the victim, none of this is your fault." I looked down and hugged him. He hugged me back and comforted me. I put my head on his chest. I felt like he was my big brother.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to slap you..." He whispered.

"It's okay... Don't worry..." I looked down.
"I want to see him..." I whispered. Damiano kept stroking my hair, but he stayed silent. I looked up at him.
"When can I see him?" He looked down.

"I don't know... Soon... " He kissed my head and I fell asleep in his arms...

The next day I woke up, still cuddling Damiano. But not only him. Victoria and Thomas cuddled us too. I got up and got out of the bed and made myself some hot chocolate. When I heard footsteps I turned around. Thomas. He rubbed his eyes, totally tired.

"Good morning. Why are you awake already?" I asked him

"Amnesia. You?" I shrugged.

"Couldn't sleep."

"Nightmares?" I nodded.
"Yeah... Me too... " I looked at the cup of my hot chocolate and then him.

"Do you want some?" He satdown at the table and nodded softly. I gave him my cup and made some more for myself.

"This shit sucks..." He moved his spoon a little in the cup.

"I know... But thank you for your help. It means a lot to me." He nodded at me and took a small sip of the hot beverage.

"You know... I'm glad he's alive... Fucking assholes..." I nodded and looked down.

"Yeah. I hope Ethan can recover." Thomas nodded and looked at me.

"I guess you want to visit him?" I nodded.

"Of course. I want to make sure he's okay." He looked down.

"He... Might not be himself, you know?" I raised an eyebrow.

"I guess so... This was probably a big trauma..."

"This was not what I meant..." Thomas looked down, trying to find the right words in English. But then Victoria came downstairs.

"We can see him." I stood up and looked at her. I grabbed my shoes and jacket and we walked to the car.

At the hospital I waited outside. I wanted the guys to go first. They were family after all. When Damiano came out his face was full of tears.

"How is he?" He looked down.

"Please don't be shocked when you talk to him..." I raised an eyebrow, but decided to walk into the room. I saw him laying there... A cast on his arm, a black eye, a cast on the nose and an infusion on his arm.

"Hey... " I sat on the bed and kissed his cheek.
"How are you feeling." He opened his eyes and looked at me.

"I'm okay... But... Who are you?"
