Angel Wings

Chapter 22

Have you ever missed someone so much that your heart ached?

Ached for them.

To hear their voice one last time.

Feel their touch on your skin?

It's a horrible pain.

A pain I feel no one overcomes

Because when you lose someone, they're bound not to return.

Right?

What if you lose someone and they're not even dead?

All great—but forever unanswered questions.

After the funeral Alessio left after he dropped me back off at his house.

I guess it hurts that he didn't think to stay with me.

Sometimes you just need someone to be there while you cry, just to listen.

But no one's home.

It's quiet.

It's just me and Gray.

I've never felt more alone.

*Alessios POV*

I circle around Leo who sat in a chair in front of me.

Tied and bloody.

"Alessio you have to believe me!" He cried out. And I wish I could believe him, and part of me does...

The motives don't add up but who else is it?

"Alessio...if it was me why would I have went to the funeral? The rat would have known you'd figure it out, they'd be long gone!"

Who isn't here?

Who wasn't at the funeral?

I thought for a moment.

A long moment at that.

Who would do this to Myana?

Of course....

It's been her all along. It's been so obvious in front of my face this entire time. How could I have been so fucking stupid?

I left Myana alone all this time for some stupid fucking rat, and it wasn't even him.

She's gotta be so pissed off.

I'll worry about the rat later...right now Myana needs me.

I sent her back to Sicily last night after the funeral. I didn't go with her because I wanted to "catch" Leo here. I was wrong.

I slowly walked into the house when I finally made it.

It's quiet.

Too quiet.

Gray ran into me as I turned the corner.

"Wheres Mommy?" I asked him, stupidly.

I never had any desire to get a dog but I don't hate that he's here.

I followed behind Grayson as he pushed open my office door.

She's asleep on the couch.

Why didn't she sleep in the bed?

She must of fell asleep waiting for me....

I sat down next to her curled up body and rubbed her head.
