"Well, I want to call my baby, so be quiet", that's what I said to a laughing Giorgia, before she smiled and left Thomas his apartment. She has been staying here for two days now, since the band left for two weeks for some gigs in Europe, and I'm so proud of them. Thomas and I call each other every possible moment. My phone only rings a few times, before my boyfriend picks up. "Ciao Amore, how are you?", his voice ran into my ears and a smile disappeared on my face. Thomas was, while talking to me, busy with so many other things. "Are you backstage?", I asked, leaning against the bed. "Yes, we have a gig in", he stopped, searching for a clock. "In three hours", he said, sitting down somewhere, smiling bright.
"Oh god, I miss you so much baby", he sighed, and I blushed, "I miss you too". "But how's the tour going", I asked, earning a chuckle from him. "It's not actually a tour, it's just a few gigs", he said, playing with his hair. "Shut up and answer my question", laughing, I said. "It's great, but it would be more great if you were here", and again, I felt bad. "No that is the wrong attitude mr Raggi", I snapped, holding my laugh back. He burst into the chuckle as well, but said nothing. "Enjoy it, and stop thinking about me the whole time, I'm fine", I said, letting myself fall backwards on the bed. "I just miss you baby", he said, when I said Victoria sitting down next to him. "I miss you more", I gave him an air kiss and waved at Victoria, who was busy with her eyeliner, but quickly waved back.
Damiano jumped into the screen and Thomas pushed him away, causing me to laugh. "I'm sorry Cami, but we have to borrow your guy for an hour", the singer said, and I smiled. "It's fine, I was just about to do the groceries", I said, and saw Victoria chuckle. "Thomas the rockstar, who is going to play for Stockholm in a few hours, and Camilla, the women who is about to do the grocerie shopping, what a dream couple", she said, and I burst into laugh, but Thomas only seemed insulted.
"Don't bully my baby", he said, almost choking his best friend, just for fun. "Where is my baby by the way?", Damiano asked, being too close to the camera. "She went feeding Lego and Bidet", I said. Damiano and Giorgia have two super adorable cats, but since Giorgia is staying here for a while, Lego and Bidet obviously couldn't come either. "Well, tell her I miss her too, and I'll call her tonight", he yelled, since the sounds and noises around them were getting loader. "I'll, bye guys, I'm very proud", I gave them all air kisses, and saw Thomas blushing.
As I said, I went to do grocerie shopping. Luckily the stores were literally a minute walking from Thomas his place. With two heavy bags filled with all kinds of groceries. I walked out of the grocerie store. It was monday, and all normal people were working, so there were barely people on the streets, just old people. I decided to take the back entry from the building, since that was closer to the stores. Suddenly, a guy a recognized too well, came out of the exit, and I accidentally dropped the bags.
No, it wasn't Giovanni. It was Mattio, his best friend. Normally, he would be actually very nice to me, but this time it was different. He didn't looked like he just came to have a cozy conversation with me. "Mattio, what are you doing here", out of fear, I took a few steps back. "I always thought you were a sweet girl, good enough for Giovanni", he started, and one second I thought about running away, but I couldn't, my bones were frozed.
"But suddenly, out of nowhere, you leave him, for someone else, that's not very nice Camilla", he said, and I saw him clenching his fist. "You don't know, you don't know what he did to me", I mumbled, keeping to walk backwards. "Don't overreact, you left him", Mattio snapped. Shit. That was my thought when I felt the wall behind me, well, now I was trapped. "Please, please, he abused me", I begged, when I felt his hand on my throat. Out of reflex, I grabbed it, and tried to pull it away from my neck, but I didn't stand a chance.
Black spots appeared in my eyes and I gasped for air, which I barely got. "Please, please let me go", I whined, kicking against his ankles. "Camilla, the way you threat Giovanni is wrong", his words, they didn't even came in to my head. The black spots got bigger and the power in my arms and legs got less, my lungs were empty and not able to fill themselves. "Kill me if you want", with my last power I snap, before he let go of me.
Immediately my lungs filled themselves with fresh air again, and I started panicked. "See this as a warning Camilla", he said, and I didn't even notice it, but suddenly he was gone. When my lungs were full with air again, I burst into tears. What is wrong with all these people? For a minute I cried against the wall, but than I grabbed my bags and ran upstairs. I ignored everyone I passed, even that very nice lady at the second floor, and that was rude, I know, but rudeness is my only defence right now.
I hoped Giorgia would be home, but she wasn't. I dropped the bags again and started walking around the room, panicking. In the mirror, I wide-eyed. My neck was red like blood and you could see someone squeezed in it. Well, nice, now that almost all of my bruises disappeared and I finally could be normal, this happend. Crying, I sat down on my bed, waiting for Giorgia to come home.
