Mi Amore

Chapter 28-Anastasia

I wake up to the bright sun and the smell of fresh coffee brewing at 07:30am.I get out of bed and shower.I wear the short black  dress I brought and my lacy Christian Louboutins.I wear my three gold rings and my thin gold with my gold earrings and top it off with my thin gold watch.I walk downstairs and see Anna and Allie in pajamas."Morning ladies,"I greet."Morning, Anastaisa,"they greet."Stasi,why are you wearing so formal?"Anna asks."Because the funeral starts in half an hour,"I say as I glance at my watch."WHAT?"they shout."I'm afraid so,"I say as they run to their rooms.I shrug and pour myself a cup of coffee."Oh,good morning, Miss Romeo."A maid says."Good morning, Gloria,"I say as I sip my coffee.

Snapping me out, my trance is my coffee finishing and the sound of heels clanking.I put my cup on the counter and pull out my pocket mirror.I pull out my favorite red lipstick from my tiny handbag and apply it.I put away my mirror and lipstick and find Anna and Allie fixing their dresses."Okay,ladies, let's go,"I say as I walk outside to my bike."Okay,one of you guys can backpack, and one can go on the other Kawasaki,va bene?"I say."I'll backpack with Stasi. I don't trust Anna behind the wheel."Allie says as I throw Anna the other Kawasakis keys.I get on my bike and wait for Allie to get on.I speed to the graveyard where I organized for Mrs Ferrari to be buried.

I park the bike as I approach the place where Mrs Ferrari will be put to rest.I walk to Mrs Ferraris body and place a kiss on it."Ah,Mrs Ferrari Aunt Gia.You were the highlight of our lives and childhoods.You were our light at the end of the tunnel, but now it's time you go on and light the tunnels that others need you to light Aunt Gia.I hope for us all to heal the sadness in our hearts and Aunt Gia to rest in peace.I hope that Aunt Gia goes on and makes the world a happier place and others as happy as she made us.Rest in the greatest peace Aunt Gia"I say as I wipe my tears away.I walk to Anna and hug her as she sobs in my shoulder."I-I just wanna go home,"Anna chokes out between sobs."I know I know it's okay,"I comfort Anna.

"Oh,Aunt Gia.I don't want us to grieve your passing.I don't want us to mourn your passing because you are in a better place now, and you will be greatly missed.Aunt Gia,nows my time to say this.Thank you for comforting me the night I got stood up at prom.Thank you for being there to support me through high school.Thank you for always making my sandwiches for school.Thank you for caring when I came home drunk.Thank you for being the mother I never had.Rest in peace Aunt Gia.I bid you farewell."Allie says as she places a kiss on Aunt Gias body and wipes her tears.

"Aunt Gia,you will be greatly missed, but we will never regret any of our greatest memories with you and the strong sentiment you held in multiple families.I love you Aunt Gia.I really do and as much as it hurts to say it for the last time,thank you for all your support and love.Rest in peace with our family Aunt Gia.I love you"Anna says between sobs as she places a kiss on Aunt Gias body.We all watch as Aunt Gia is lowered into the ground and is covered with dirt."Let's go home,"I say, redirecting them to the bikes."I wanna backpack with Stasi,"Anna chokes out, still crying.Anna hands Allie the keys and gets on the back of mine.I get on and speed back to the house.

Once we get there, Anna and Allie head up to their rooms."WE LEAVE IN THREE HOURS LADIES,"I shout."OKAY,"Allie shouts back.I walk back to my bike and speed to the graveyard where Mama and Papa were buried.I get there and walk to the two neatly placed tomb stones"Hey Mama and Papa.Today we put Aunt Gia to rest and I'm heading back to New York tonight"I say,feeling tears threatening to spill."I miss you guys so much,I think of you every time I  close my eyes.I feel like I've failed you, so I gonna make this right,"I say,wiping away lone tears."I wasn't able to bring flowers, but next time,"I say as I dust myself off from sitting on the floor."Bye Mama and Papa,"I say as I walk to my bike and speed home.

Once I get there, I see Anna on a barstool pale."Are you alright, Anna?"I ask as I sit next to her."Yeah,I'm alright, just a bit down,"she says."It's gonna be okay,"I say as I rub her back.I walk up to my room and pack my duffel so I don't have to later.Once I'm finished packing I sit on the edge of the bed and think about the night we got kidnapped. What if we didn't make it in time?.Thinking of that I start feeling  a panic attack coming."NO,NO,NO,"I shout as I grab at my hair."ANASTASIA,"Allie shouts as she opens my door.I look up at her from the floor, feeling the tears trickling down my face."I DONT KNOW ANYMORE.I DONT FUCKING KNOW"I shout between sobs.Allie wraps her arms around me and rocks me gently as I sob quietly."I MISS THEM.I FUCKING MISS THEM ALL"I choke out between sobs."Its okay Stasi.Its okay."She says."NO ITS NOT OKAY"I shout."Maybe you need space.Ill leave."She says as she leaves and closes the door.
