Izabellas pov

"Truly, I'm sorry " the doctor said once more before leaving the room.

No one spoke.

..

Luca

my brother

is dead.

Luca.. the one who made us all laugh. The one who made sure we were smiling everyday. The one who cheered us up. The Luca who says Bananas when he gets woken up.

Our Luca.

was gone..

and it's all my fault.

I fell on my knees, sobbing. Val quickly ran over to me and picked me up, placing me on his lap.

"It h-hurts Val" I hiccuped, "it hurts so much".

"I know baby.. I know", his voice cracked.

"It's all my fault" I sobbed, "h-he jumped in the way t-to save me! Why would he do that!"

"shh, baby it's not your fault", Val rubbed my back trying to soothe me.

"It should've been me.." I whispered.

"Izabella"

"He's dead.. because of me"

"Izabella!"

"I can't take this... it hurts too much"

"IZABELLA!"

I jolted awake, tears flowing down my face.

"Shh you're alright bambina" Elijah whispered, "it was just a dream, you're okay".

After a few minutes I finally began to calm down, "Luca.." I whispered.

"He's okay baby, he woke up an hour ago"

"W-what? Really?!" I jumped up, the tears immediately stopped flowing.

"Yeah, he's okay, we're all okay" he smiled in relief.

"Can we go see him?!" I grabbed his arm, trying to drag him to the garage.

"Yes, but he just woke up and is still in a bit of pain so we have to be careful with him, alright?"

"Okay" I nodded understanding.

As soon as Lijah parked the car I hopped out and began running inside, "Iz! No running!" he yelled from behind me.

"Sorry Lijah", I paused and began walking, but at a very fast pace.

As soon as I entered Lucas room I bolted to him and gave him a huge hug, "don't do that again" I mumbled in his chest.

"Iz, didn't I tell you to be careful, he's still in a bit of pain" Elijah spoke sternly.

"Sorry" I mumbled.

"I can't promise I won't Iz, you know I'd die for you in a heartbeat, it's better me than you", Luca spoke before hugging me again.

We stayed like that for a good few minutes before the rest of my brothers came in with bags of food in their hands.

"Teo, do you really need that much food?" Luca chuckled.

I looked behind me and saw my brothers each holding a bag or so of food where Matteo, well he had around 5 or more. There was so many it's hard to tell how many he had exactly.

Him and his food i tell ya.

"How are you feeling?" Alessandro asked Luca.

"Eh, I feel like shot"

We all stared at him who is busy laughing at his own joke, "get it", he laughed " Shit-shot-shit-shot-sh" he got interrupted by Leo.

"Luca! We get it, but it's not a joke. You got shot for godsake! You could've died!", he waved his arms around.

"but i didn't, I'm here, i'm okay"

"Still! It's no laughing matter Luc, if you died I-I don't know what I'd do" he whispered the last part.

Luca sighed, "I know, i know, I'm sorry. Jokes just help me forget the situation i'm in right now" he looked down.

"I get it Luc" Leo pulled Luca into a hug.

"Ow-"

"Oh shit sorry, forgot"

"So y'all wanna watch a movie?" Matteo said as he stuffed his face with fries.

"Sure" we all replied, "Luca, you pick since well you know" I said.

"Ok uhmmm what about Elf?"

"Its not even close to Christmas, we aren't watching that!" Adriano said.

"I-i thought i could pick" Luca fake cried, "why can't we watch that? It'd make me feel a lot happier.. i did get shot"

Adriano sighed, "fine."

We all then watched Elf and a few other movies the rest of the day. Before all of us but Elijah went home for the night.

God, i'm glad Luca's safe and alive.
