Why So Cruel (luberto)

confrontations

Alberto POV:

Alberto: luca?!

I stared as luca walked through the doorway I could feel his nervousness as he gave a note to the teacher.

He had been out all morning and it had worried guilia and I sick, why was he coming back now I wondered for a moment before getting back to the game.

In my short time here I had made some friends and I'm too mad at luca right now so I'm just gonna focus on them for now.
(yes slay Alberto)

We were playing soccer and although I've only played once or twice I caught on fast and pretty quickly was just as good as everybody else.

I put my anger into the ball infront of me and ended up scoring the winning shot for the team.

But as the high from winning began to leave my body curiosity began to rise as I wondered why luca had just run away like that.

Turning towards the bench where he was sitting I decided I would talk to him but it looked like he had already left for the next class.

Is he avoiding me? I wondered for a moment before realising I was now late and needed to hurry up to my next class.

- time skips to lunch- (also petition to get author and massimo a wedding)

Lunch rolled around quickly and by that time I was starving I grabbed lunch and looked to see where guilia and luca were sitting but I never did find luca he was nowhere to be seen.

The last class rolled around and luca still hadn't shown up, I began to get really worried so went up to the main office.

Alberto: um excuse me?

Office lady: (eye roll) yes what is it

Alberto: have you seen luca paguro.

Office: kid luca left an hour ago.

My eyes widened as panic set in, "damnit luca" I thought as I grabbed my belongings ignoring the office lady's protests for me  to come back.

Why would he do something like this?! I've been trying my best why would he leave me.

Alberto: LUCAA!!! WHERE ARE YOU!!

I ran up and down streets looking anywhere i could think, anxiety rose through me as recollection of what happened last time luca ran away.

Out of breath I stopped for a moment huffing as I saw something out of the corner of my eye.

Something red messily thrown on the floor at a nearby ally way.

It was a book..lucas book he had been reading it the night before I knew it was his cause one of the torn pages had the initials L.P engraved with blue pen on it.

I suddenly realised that I was standing in the bad part of genova the part notorious for drug busts and gangs.

Alberto: LUCAAAA!!!!

luca POV:

I couldn't hear myself I just kept running by the time I had realised where I was it was too late 3 men were already standing behind me.

?: well..fancy seeing you here picoletto..

I turned at the sound of a very familiar voice I shrieked and tried to run but he had a firm hold on my collar.

Luca: ercole let me go!! ALBERTOO!!

Ercole: picoletto Ur dumb fish friend isn't coming it's just you and me now..

He grasped my wrist with such force I swore I felt it crack.

luca: ALBERTO PLEASE HELP!!

And then from a distance I heard it my name coming from none other than my boyfriend the one who loved me most.

I sighed in relief but this was short lived as I felt a blade to my throat. Followed by loud footsteps.

Alberto: let him go ercole just give up

Ercole: and why should I it's not like he's going to do you any good

Was that true I thought? Will I really disappoint Alberto.

Luca: your lying I love him let me go!

I felt the blade peirce my skin and I winced looking Alberto in the eyes as tears pricked my eyes.

I shut them waiting for the blade to peirce me fully but it never did instead I heard a yell and was met with a warm embrace.

I opened my eyes and met Alberto's angry gaze.

I flinched as he spoke with a gruff voice.

Alberto: why would you run away huh?! You could of died and then what! I lose you forever what possessed you to do that.

I opened my mouth to speak before shutting it again I couldn't tell him about the boys he wouldn't understand.

Alberto: what now you have nothing to say?! I came here to help you why aren't you accepting my help ( sir! I need you to chill he's been through trauma)

Tears reformed in my eyes as I tried to think of something to say.

Luca: I'm sorry..I never wanted to make you angry like this..

He shut his eyes and took a deep exhale before looking down at me again this time with a softer expression.

Alberto: don't do that again ok you scared me.

I nodded as we walked hand in hand back home.

Alberto: and your not getting away with this when we get home tell me what's going on so I can fix it.

I didn't reply but I know he knew I agreed.

Eventually we made it home and he down on the couch dragging me down with him.

He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my head.

Alberto: so what happened?

I sighed and looked up.

Luca: I don't know alot of things but mainly a group of boys who each year make my life a living he'll and this year they  said if I came back they would kill me.

Alberto: that will never happen luca when I said nobody will hurt you again I meant it Ur safe with me ok

At that guilt surged through my body he had done so much for me but what had I done for him..nothing.

Luca: Alberto are you happy?

Alberto: what do you mean luca of course I'm happy!

Luca: no are you really happy!? How are you happy with me I'm so messed up and yet you stayed isn't there anything I can help you with.

Alberto: luca I stay with you because your the most important thing to me right now the only thing you can help me with is communicating with me and getting better.

At that I felt tears form and I hugged him tight.

Luca: I love you so much Alberto.

Alberto: I love you to amore

I lifted my head and kissed him on the lips  his eyes widened before shutting and fully relaxing into the kiss it wasn't rough or fast it was slow and passionate a thankyou in the form of to lips connecting.

Guilia: guys I'm home-
