SCARLETTE
I sit by the white and baby blue hospital bed my hands shaking as I reach out for Flavio, I had been told not to leave my hospital room but I just had to see him.
He took a bullet for me. It was hard to comprehend considering how I was convinced they had no real love for me.
Although. Flavio was lucky, what I had thought was a shot to the heart was actually a harmless shot that created a non vital small hole in his chest.
They had already sealed it back up and said he would wake up in 2 days, but this is the 5th night and he hasnt woken up yet.
It was currently 2:00 am in the morning. The rest of my brothers had to leave the hospital due to curfew.
On the other hand Isa was finally gone.
Dead
Every trace of Alvarez was now gone. It feels like the end of a bad storm.
Liam and the others had returned back to school but still visit me often. we joke around trying to make light of me being bedridden.
I appreciate their presence
I have a feeling that after the events that happened I would have a much needed turning point in my life and as scared as I am it's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
My eyes start to get heavier as I lean on the chair right by Flavio's bed and transition from my daydreaming into real dreaming.

"We should wake her up"
I hear voices as my eyes start to open but I squeeze them back shut immediatly when I make out the figures the voices belong to.
My brothers.
"Shut the fuck up why would you wanna wake her"
I keep on listening carefully in order to decide if I wanted to keep sleeping or not.
"cause she has been waiting for him to wake up the most she should see him now"
"Really she wanted me to wake up?"
and that's when I spring up from hearing that familiar voice, causing the room to go silent.
"Flavio?", I question my eyes slightly watering.
Before he even gets a chance to speak I quickly pull him in for a hug
"see what you did luca, you woke her", I hear Xavier say angrily.
"yeah and I take pride in that", he says smugly.
As I hug Flavio I take in his warmth reassuring myself that he's really awake and alive.
