Pezzo Mencante

10|You're here

♧︎She's standing in a thin line of seeing how much more she can take and giving up♧︎

I just stood there in complete shock, no idea what to say or do. It's been months since I last saw him, since that day I desperately wish to forget. The day everything I believed in came crashing down.

I couldn't help but admire his features. The flashing lights certainly complimented him and emphasised his beauty. He looked better than ever. He seemse stronger than before, he always did love going to the gym.

"Valencia?!" I've been looking everywhere for you, what happened? Why are you in America?" He asked a look of panic on his face probably at my drunken state.

I turn around to see all of my friends curios gazes resting on us. I frantically searched the room for a way out of this situation but my heart dropped when I made eye contact with Zayden staring at me, at us, definitely having seen what just went down.

I look like such a slut right now.

"Outside, now" I coldly state before I head to the door Alexei following close behind me.

As soon as we reach the path next to the house I turn around with my arms crossed ready to go off.

"Vale-" he begins till I immediately cut him off.

"No, you don't get to talk. Do you honestly think you can come here and i'm just going to forgive you? Why should I give you a chance to speak huh? You left me with him and I will NEVER forgive you for that." I don't let the tears escape my eyes, I don't want him to see that this still hurts me.

I decide to head back into the club to tell my friends i'm leaving until he grabs my arm and pulls me back.

"Didn't you here her, she doesn't want to speak to you now let go off her". Zayden says as he makes his way over to us anger lacing his tone.

Alexei's head snaps towards him with his grip still on my wrist "Who the fuck are you?" Alexei asks clenching his jaw and tightening his grip.

Zayden looks down at me and then back up to Alexei "I said. Let go off her." he warns in a calm yet threatening tone.

For a good 10 seconds, they don't break eye contact with eachother for a second until Zayden breaks the silence with an evil grin "Well, I gave you a chance" he says before uppercutting Alexei right in his jaw.

Alexei immediately lets go of my wrist and punches Zayden right in his cheekbone before they tackle eachother to the floor and soon just like earlier, all I can see is blood.

"ZAYDEN, ALEXEI STOP IT" I scream causing a crowd of people from inside the house to come out to witness yet another fight.

Nobody helps. Nobody does anything except sit back and cheer. All I see is blood. There's no getting through to them. I yell and I yell, I cry out in attempt to make them stop but it's no use. They're going to kill eachother.

In attempts to put an end to this I step forwards towards them but Alexei delivers a hard punch to Zayden, sending him flying into me causing me to trip over and fall into the middle of the road.

"VALENCIA" Is that last thing I hear before I see flashing lights and the sound of a car's beeping ahead of me causing me to squeeze my eyes shut.

It's like I blacked out when I open my eyes to find myself lying on the other side of the road with barely any harm done except for that fact that I had obviously been pushed here from the middle of the road.

Yelling pulls me out of my thoughts when I look up to see Carlos in the middle of the road. Unconscious and bloody. People yelling and phoning for an ambulance.

Alexei and Zayden rush their way over to me and squat down to study my state.

"D-d-d-d DON'T TOUCH ME" I scream as I get myself up despite their attempts to help me.

"Are you o-" They both begin before my rage takes over and I cut them off. "What the fuck was that? You could've killed eachother!" I yell as I frantically brush my hand through my now knotted hair

"That was the idea" Alexei mutters under his breath intended for me not to hear it.

His head whips to the side due to the impact of my hard slap. "You don't get to come here and try to kill a guy who was just trying to help me. Where were you when I really needed that Alexei? OH that's right! You left me" I chuckle the alcohol probably taking over at this point.

Or was I sobering up? I couldn't really tell.

"Baby I-"

"Don't call me that. Leave me the fuck alone. Both of you." I exclaim before making my way over to a screaming Liana and a crying Kiara.

Alexei and Zayden better hope for their sakes, that Carlos is okay.

PEZZO MENCANTE

It's been two days since that.. incident on Monday and thankfully Carlos is ok. Well as ok as he can be in those circumstance. He's currently recovering from his broken arm and couple of broken ribs in hospital.

My brothers obviously found out about what happened, as it was basically my fault. I'm still waiting for them to have a go at me cause they thankfully realised I wouldn't be able to take it on Monday after everything that had just happened.

But at least they're growing to Carlos. I guess practically saving their sisters life does that to people.

As I was about to make my way to class, Zayden stopped me in the hall by my locker, and I flinched. I was too emotionally drained to handle him. Alexei confused me and everything was happening so quickly.

"Kiss?" Zayden asked, leaning against the lockers beside mine and grinning down at me.

"Most people say hello. Most people would wait until after a date to kiss a girl. Most people who prefer romance after making out at a party that was too loud and ended badly," I ranted, slamming my locker.

"I think we've gotten of to the wrong start. Clearly at some point I made you think I was like most people."

"Well maybe, despite your perceptions, I am like other girls. I want to be taken to dinner and kissed under the stars, and I see no problem with that. If you're going to treat me like Alexei did, I'd rather be alone," I stated.

"I'll give you all that, you just have to promise not to fall madly in love with me," Zayden said.
"And the same for you."
"Might be a little too late for that, Val," Zayden said, "anyway here is the note I came to give you."

Zayden handed me a folded note from his pocket. I watched him walk away until he was out of sight, when I read the paper.

Val,
Time to take you out on a real date. Meet me by the lake at 8 tomorrow night, wear something cute.
This time maybe don't be kissing any exes.
Z

I couldn't help but smile.
