14 ~ kill him

MARCO'S POV

I sit in the chapel praying to any or every god that Eli makes it out alive because if he didn't I might die trying to make them pay. Hours later, too many hours later Riley walks in, "The doctor is looking for you Marco," Riley sighs. "What is it Bambina?" She doesn't answer, "just come, Marco." I follow her into the hospital waiting room; the doctor is waiting there. "Okay so Eli is alive but he went into cardiac arrest on the table, I resuscitated him but his brain was deprived of oxygen for too long so he was permanent brain damage and the chances of him ever waking up are slim to none, you are named next of kin so if you want to take him off life support them it's up to you."

Riley grabs my hand, "but his parents, isn't it their decision?" I ask, "He wanted it to be you not them." I sigh, "okay leave him plugged up for a month and see if his brain has any more activity if not then ill make a decision." I say, the doctor walks away after shaking her head up and down. "Marco it's three in the morning wanna come back to my house and get some sleep?" Riley asks, "yeah just let me go say bye to him."

RILEY'S POV

I stand there waiting for Marco thinking of all the possibilities, the good and bad. I wasn't in love with Eli but I didn't want him to die especially because Marco would break. He walked back to the waiting room and grabbed my hand, "ready?" I asked, "yeah" he sighs.

When driving him home I thought I should tell him "I have to tell you something." I said nervously, "god are you pregnant don't tell me your pregnant." "I'm not pregnant, my mom the drug addict invited me to her house to see her and I thought you should come," I said even more nervous. "Okay, is she clean or why does she wanna see you?" "I don't know but I thought you should meet her and Chase is coming, we haven't really seen her since my dad died I thought she was dead herself but she's alive."

Marco let a small laugh slip, "sorry Bambina I didn't mean to laugh." He says looking at me scared, "It's okay, I love your laugh I miss it." I smile while looking into his eyes. "When are we going?" "Tomorrow," I say under my breath looking at him from my side-eyes. "Tomorrow?" "Yes, tomorrow as in the day after this one." I say while parking the car, "what do I wear?" he asks. "I guess it would be appropriate to wear clothes even though you look so much better without them," I smile. "One more thing." I say knowing he won't like it, "Elijah, I think he needs a friend who isn't Chase because Chase is an asshole so I could be his friend," I suggest.

"Have you ever been friends with someone you've had sex with?" He asks, I clear my throat. "No, but for me and Elijah." He stops me, "It's not up to me it's your life but if your friends with him he'll try to fuck you again and I'd like that spot to be reserved for me." He says before getting out of the car, "so you can be his friend?" I ask. He slams the car door shut at my idea. "So that's a no?" I ask, "Unless you want me to actually kill him, it's a no." I smile awkwardly, "great, but would you really kill someone for me like blow their head off?" I ask, "of course Bambina, anyone you want." My eyes widen as I think of a list of people I desperately hate, "no, no one."

TW: R@PE
"What about the guy who raped" I stop him, "Don't Marco don't talk about him, stop acting like I'm a victim im not." "So what are you because I'd really love to kill the guy." "I'm a survivor and that's justice enough for me, some people don't survive." He wraps his arm around my head and kisses the top of it.
TW OVER

We get home to Chase eating, "Chase we're seeing mom tomorrow and if you don't start taking care of your baby and her mother then you can go live with her." I say while smiling. "It's a girl?" He asks excitedly, "yeah, and as much as I think you'd make a horrible father you just need to prove me wrong, you love doing that right?" I ask, "this isn't some dumb thing it's a baby that I would have to raise for eighteen years." "Aria is scared too so go be scared with her because she needs you just as much as you need her."

He stands up and runs out the door, I smile and look up at Marco. "Im the best sister ever." I brag, "and one day you'll be the best mom." He smiles before walking into my room. What the hell did he just say? Mother, little children running around and crying? It's disgusting.

I get in the shower with Marco too tired to do any more than wash my body and then plop on my bed. I fall asleep after he kisses my forehead. I wake up to Chase shaking me, "Aria and Elijah, did you know?" He asks, "know what?" I ask. "Aria and Elijah are dating or something," "No I didn't know," I say still half asleep. I look at my alarm clock it's seven in the morning, "Chase gets out please." I say while standing up.

"Marco wake up, we have to go," I say while sitting on his lap. "Non voglio alzarmi dal letto" He groans, "what does that mean?" "scusa Bambina, you should learn Italian." "You should teach me at a later date, we have to go," I say while standing up. "Sex would help me wake up Bambina." "Sex can help you go to sleep later today, get up."

I walk out of my room, "what do you mean Aria and Elijah are dating?" I ask, "when I opened her house door she was making out with him on the couch, did you know because she's your best friend?" "I didn't know but we're going to see mom so get dressed."

I walk back into my room and see Marco still asleep, "you don't have to come but I'm wearing a dress, one with a slit going up my leg and stopping at the top of my thigh but you can stay here and sleep." I smile before walking into my closet. "Do you like teasing me Bambina?" He whispers in my ear while rubbing his hands on my hips, "highlight of my days." I smile before turning around and kissing him.

"Okay I have to put on that dress now so you go put on clothes that look good," I say nervously. I haven't seen my mom and I don't know if I want to. I grab the dress and slide it on knowing that Marco was watching me. "Marco go put on a suit or something or do we need to go to your house?" I ask, "I have a suit." He says before walking away. I go into the bathroom where Marco's changing and put my hair in a ponytail and put jewelry on. "You look incredible Bambina," "I know." I say before walking into the living room, "I'll be waiting in the car." I scream, "Chase are you ready?" I ask, "to meet our deadbeat mother yeah." "Wanna stop at Aria's house?" I ask, "No after mom's house." "Great let's go," I say while walking out of the front door.

I sit in the car for fifteen minutes waiting for them, until Marco comes in the car. "What's Chase doing?" I ask, "He's coming." He says before placing his hand on my upper thigh. Chase finally gets in the car, "What have you been doing?" I ask, "Fighting with Elijah over the phone."

I begin driving to my old house bringing back all the memories I've buried deep down. I pull up to a house that I remember, "this is it right?" I ask Chase, "Yeah." He says before deeply exhaling. I step out of the car and look at it for a moment, Marco comes over and grabs my hand, "We can leave if you want." "No, we cant Marco." I begin walking over to the door and knock on it. It opens slowly, "Hey mom."
