Her Savior

☆Chapter 17☆

It's been 3 days since it was set that I'm going to Italy and as much as I'd like to pay for everything myself, I'm just happy that I get to get away from Jason.

He's sent me multiple messages threatening me and telling me how worthless I am, as well as insulting me.

I did get scared and unhappy when I got those messages but I feel safe when I'm around Matteo.

We haven't completely gotten to know each other but, him just being around me makes me feel safe.

Today I get to leave the hospital and either tomorrow or the day after, we go to Italy, which means I need to go home and take the few things I own and that thought terrifies me.

I don't know where I'm going to stay in the time from when I leave the hospital till we go to Italy since I can't go back to Jason's because he might just actually kill me this time.

My abdomen and legs aren't as weak as they were 3 days ago so I'm able to walk around even though I can still feel some pain.

I'm currently getting ready to leave. The last time I ate was 2 days ago, but I don't even feel it. It wouldn't be the first time I'd do so.
And I know that if Aaliyah were to find out, she'd force me to eat so I hope she doesn't find out.

Matteo and everyone else are going to be here in a few minutes so for that time I'm just going to check my phone.

When I switch it on, I see 3 messages from Jason and 1 from Adam.

Jason: You stupid bitch, I hope you know
what's coming for you when you get home.

The new person you're hoeing around with is going to drop as soon as they know what a worthless piece of shit you are.

You should die. I wish I killed you a long time ago bitch.

Adam: You're a worthless piece of shit and I hope you die. The world is already overpopulated and we don't need you making it worse. The next time I see you, I'm going to make you wish you were never born.

I feel tears dripping down my face, I don't even know when they started falling.
I can't believe my own father would say such things to me.

I've only ever tried to be a good daughter.
I've tried so hard to please him my whole life.
I never got in trouble at school.
I've always gotten good marks.
I went to work so that I could help to pay the bills.
I always catered to him, no matter what he did to me.
I never talked back or disrespected him even when he said the most disgusting, terrible, and outrageous things no daughter should ever hear from her father especially.

I was always good to Adam.
I did whatever he asked me.
I went to him when he called me anytime I could.
I was in that toxic relationship for months because I thought he loved me.
I helped him in his hardest times even if he pushed me away.

I'll never be enough for anyone, will I?
Maybe I am a worthless piece of shit.
Maybe I am a stupid bitch.
Maybe I am a waste of space on this Earth.

Maybe I should die.

Nobody needs me.
Everyone's life would be way better without me.

I hear voices outside and I guess they're here.
I quickly clean up my face and wipe my tears.

When the door opens, I see Anaya come in.
"Hey Aaliyah, how are you feeling?" She asks
"I'm good, I'm okay," I tell her with a smile on my face.

She hugs me and when she pulls back I see everyone else standing by the door and Matteo looks at me with a worried look.

Matteo's P.O.V

She was crying.

She's trying to hide it but I can see she was crying.

I wish I could take away all the pain that she doesn't share away from her.
I wish I could help her heal.

"Hey everyone," she says.
"Hey Aaliyah," I hear them say.

"Hey Aaliyah," I say.
"We're gonna wait in the car," Isabella says and I nod at them.

Once they leave I walk towards her slowly to not scare her.

"Why were you crying?" I ask.
"I wasn't crying," she tells me with a smile but it's not a genuine one.
"I can see you were crying Aaliyah, why were you crying?" I continue.
"I hurt myself but I'm okay now."

I know she's lying but I'm not gonna push her.

"OK, well are you ready to go?"
"Yeah, yeah let's go," she stands up and starts walking to the car.

I'm about to go when I see her phone on the bed and it's still on.
I pick it up and I'm about to switch it off when I see messages she got from her dad.

I then see the messages that she got from Adam.
I clench my fists to the point where they're even turning white.

"I don't think standing in the room Aaliyah slept in is gonna make her fall in love with you, let's go." I hear Enzo say.
"Matteo, what's up?"

"I'm gonna kill that Jason Johnson bastard with my bare hands," I tell him fuming.
"I don't think that would be a good way to get his blessing..." I hear him say and he stops when I glare at him.

"What happened?" He asks.
"He and his sidekick are sending threats to Aaliyah, maledetti stronzi" I say walking out trying to calm myself.
(fucking assholes)

"What are you going to do about it?" He asks.
"I can't just kill him, Aaliyah has to know but if he tries to do something to Aaliyah, it won't be in my control anymore," I tell him.

I can't just kill him even if he deserves it he's still Aaliyah's father.
