Toxic and Mine

Up & Down

None of us speak as we continue to hear Silva destroying the living room. It was me, Hassan and the twins. I was scared to leave the room not wanting to cross path with him. Once he gets like this, he damages literally anything in his sight.

I gaze down at the unconscious girl, surrounded by a movement of activity as multiple doctors urgently attend to her. The scene is almost unbearable to witness.

It's a complex situation and despite my dislike for Nastasia, I never wished for this to happen. I repeatedly tried to caution her, emphasizing the importance of being careful with her words, advising against expressing hatred. I don't understand what he sees in her, but his obsession is  evident. His emotions seemed intricately tied to her actions  with happiness when she was around and frustration when she wasn't.

Stupid bitch took  for granted how much she had him wrapped around her fingers.

Why would you do this to yourself.

I just want her to wake up so I could cuss her out. She was a bitch for the most part but I did enjoy her company sometimes. She had the balls to slap my father and she had Silva fighting for his life that night at the casino.

I worry for my big brother, he won't come back from this.

My attention swiftly shifts to Hassan as I sense him rising, and I immediately notice him grabbing his arm.

"Please don't leave! He's going to kill her!" I try to speak quietly. Silva wants the doctors gone, he didn't want anyone to save her. But from the looks of it, she won't last a week. There's so much blood gone and I was told she is going to need transfusions, that's if they successfully are able to stabilize her.

"I'm not leaving Lydia."

Tears softly fall down my face. This bitch is ruining my family.

"Silva... Hassan he won't come back from this. This is going to be worse than last time, he probably won't-"

"Lydia everything is going to be ok-"

"No it won't!" I yell cutting him off becoming hysterical.

"Look what he's doing! Even father isn't trying to stop him."

"We are going to worry about him once he calms down." He tries to reason.

"Once he calms down, and finally realizes the extent of what he did... do you think he's going to be better?"

"Lydia I don't know!" He rubs his hands through his hair in frustration.

"Fuck Nastasia." He mumbles and then to make matters worse she starts flatlining. I couldn't bear the doctors panicking and all the noise, I had to leave.

"Come on." The twins grab me noticing my expression. The came down here immediately once they heard what happened. Unlike the rest of us, they do not stay in the manor.

As soon as we step out, we are met with disaster, and I look around in total shock. He was destroying our home.

We do our best not to alert him as we head towards the elevators. It's challenging to avoid stepping on anything as we navigate through the chaos.

"Father!" I yell his name barging straight into his office.

"What are we going to do, you know we can't live like this!"

"I'm aware of your brother's episode but there's nothing I can do for him in the moment. We've seen how he felt about that girl."

"You have to send him away for a while; that's the only possible solution," Paris says to him.

Father pulls out a cigar before lighting it. I can never understand how he remains calm in situations like these.

"I've taken out a contract. Five million for five thousand people who needs to be executed in Mexico. They just want them dead with proof, don't care how it's done."

"That's exactly what he needs."

"I'll let him know when he... is able to have a proper conversation."

"Dad." I call out and he pauses to stare at me, he was clearly annoyed.

"I'm worried for Nastasia."

"You should be, let's face it. That girl is going to die soon and we all know that. We will send her family a big check and send our condolences. Do you want to come to the casino with me Paris?"

"Sure dad."

I step out the room not wanting to hear them talk anymore.

Oh well then, Nastasia was always a bitch. Maybe this is her karma but a part of me wants to see her alive but the other....

I don't know, I just want my brother to be ok.
