Us - Brando de Sanctis

Please.

Later on that night you haven't heard from Niccolò at all, you knock on his door, no replies. After a while you decide to knock on his door again.

"Niccolò can we talk please." You sob.
You hear a faint sigh.
"Maria, I don't want to talk." He says.
"Niccolò. Please." Your voice breaks as you lean your head on his door.
The door unlocks and he opens it.
"Come in." He says softly. Almost like he's lost his voice from all the shouting.
"I'm so so sorry." You break down.
"Maria I don't want you crying." He looks at you.
"No, I ruined your friendship. You were friends for 12 years. Niccolò." You say.
"Why,Why Brando?" He asks.
"I don't know.." you reply.
"He was my only best friend. I thought I trusted him" he breaks down.
You sit beside him.
"It's all my fault." You cry.
"Maria. Its not all your fault it's Brando aswell"
"How did it all happen? How long has it been?" He asks

"It started at his party..." you say.
"Is that why I couldn't find you?" Niccolò says.
You nod.
"What the fuck Maria!" He shouts.
"I'm so sorry" you say.
"The one thing I wanted was my friends to stay away from you and clearly none of them understood that. And Brando was the only one who I thought understood. I guess I was wrong" he says.
You stay silent.
"Who am I going to go to now, Maria, What friend do I have besides Brando, Maria?" Niccolò shouts.
You break down.
"I said I'm sorry.." you cry.
Niccolò sighs. And pulls you in a hug.
"You're my  sister Maria, I don't want to see you hurt. If you and Brando dated I'll literally kill him if he hurt you. And it's a shame because we are best friends" he says as he hugs you tighter.
" will you ever forgive us?" You ask.
"eventually I will  but right now I can't Maria. Especially I can't forgive Brando after he promised he will stay away from you.." Niccolò says.
You let go of the hug and walk out.

Just opening up to your brother made you feel so much better, but still you have a terrible feeling. You can't stop think about Brando and where he's going to stay. You decide to message him.

You lay on your bed waiting for a message back from Brando. You think. And think. where could he be right now? I hope he's okay. Does he hate me?

You fall asleep.
