Chapter 42

Justin pov

I know I've being acting weird lately and it's because I'll soon turn 18. Am scared because am going to leave this place a day before my birthday to Italy where my father will make me the new mafia and I don't want that life.

Even if I hated every bit of my life I has no other option than to do what my father says. He's way too strong and dangerous for me to handle.

I looked at Marcel and Bella who hasn't said anything yet and it's freaking me out.

My birthday isn't what's in my mind right now. I know my father already knows that am hanging out with Bella and Marcel but all am praying is that he shouldn't find out that I'm in love with Bella if not I'll be good as dead and Bella I don't want to think about it.

"You're joking right" Marcel said,

"No, am not and I'll leave here next week Wednesday so I'll be celebrating my birthday in Italy, am sorry guys, there's nothing I can do about it."

Then Bella stood up, walked upstairs and I just had to follow her.

Before I could reach for her, she shut her room door.

"Bella" I said knocking on the door gently.

"Bella, please open the door."

But I got no reply, instead I heard a sob coming from inside.

"Bella, please just open the door".

But no answer.

"Bella, please just open the door you're breaking my heart right now."

With that she opened the door.

As she turned around I held her and hugged her tightly.

"Bella please don't cry, I promise nothing will happen to you."

"It's not about me Justin is about you", she said raising her head up.

"What if you go and never return?

"What if you become just like your father?, Heartless, emotionless, emptiness.

"What it you forget about me?

"You'll marry another person, and I'll still be here waiting for you.

"I won't forget you Bella I promise , and I'll come back for you."

"How?

"How are you going to come back for me?, You can't face your father he's too dangerous?, I don't want to loose you Justin, I don't want to."

She burst into tears then hugging me tightly. I don't want to loose her too but there's nothing I could do

"I'm helpless, I'm not as strong as my father, even if I was I had no one to stand with me".

Because in this world everything is about money, power and connections bit I had non.

A tears dropped from my eyes and I couldn't, didn't want Bella to see me crying so I just wipe them off.

"You know Justin is okay to cry , crying doesn't mean you are weak, it means you've being strong for a very long time.

That was it and I broke down.

"Am sorry Bella, am sorry am not strong enough, am sorry I can't protect you, am sorry am going to leave you.

She started crying too,

I was useless and helpless.

After what seems like hours, Bella fell asleep ok the floor and I carried her and lay her gently on the bed.
