7| My only friend.

Lissy Romano

"Business..." Vincenzo said

"Yes, I understand...but what exactly?" I asked as I didn't break eye contact with Vincenzo

"Nothing important...just boring stuff." Vincenzo said as he wanted to end conversation faster

I wanted to ask more questions, but I don't want to annoy him...he is trying to hide something from me, I get it...he doesn't trust me...

"You can go back to what you were doing." Vincenzo said strictly

Everyone stood up and I did it too...until Vincenzo stopped me "Lissy, you stay." he said while looking at me

"Okay..." I said as I sat back down

Davide, Domenico and Giovanni left the dining room. They left me with Vincenzo alone. Scary. Harsh=abusive brother.

"Lissy, you wanted to ask something?" he asked as he looked at me with his brown eyes

"Will you give me back my phone, please?" I asked as I looked at him

"No. It will stay with me." he harshly spat out

"But why?" I asked confused

"Because I don't want you to talk with that guy ever again." Vincenzo spat out as he made a that face expression...I didn't understand what that meant, but it was weird

"He is my only friend, please, brother." I said without thinking

What was I even thinking about...brother? For real, Lissy? Just ignore your daddy issues and stop thinking that your brothers actually want you...

Vincenzo looked at me with furrowed eyebrows, fuck...why do I mess everything up...always??

"Lissy, you can't be friends with someone who is in Mexico's drug cartel just like Miguel was." Vincenzo said as he looked at me with his disappointed face expression

"Drug cartel?" I asked as I was in complete shock

"Yes, you didn't know it?" Vincenzo asked in disbelief

"I didn't know that...I had an idea that my fathe...that Miguel was involved in something illegal, but he never told me anything." I said as I remembered the time he hit me for asking him...that day he hit me more than once

"You won't contact Jose ever again." Vincenzo said

I didn't mind that when I understood that he was involved in drug cartel...that's something you can't accept...

"What are you thinking about?" Vincenzo asked while looking at me, it was like he was watching my reaction

"That's something terrible...I will never contact him again-" I said and he interrupted

"Then what was that pill you swallowed earlier?" Vincenzo asked as he came closer to me

"What...you thought that I was a drug addict?" I asked as I was in shock, but more than it...the pain...that my own brother didn't believe me that it was a vitamin...which it wasn't, but that's not the point...how could he?
