Her Savior | ON HOLD

☆Chapter 21☆

The plane took off, and we were now all seated.

After a lot of questioning about how the plane was so empty, I realized it was probably someone's private plane.

I'm sitting next to the window, next to me is Anaya, and next to her is Isabella, and in front of me is Matteo next to him is Angelo, and next to Angelo is Lorenzo.

I keep my gaze outside the window while the others converse with each other. My cheek isn't as red anymore so I hope no one has noticed anything. My wrist is terribly painful, I need to wrap it but I don't have a bandage. I'll just have to not use it so that it doesn't hurt more.

"Hey Aaliyah, are you OK?" Anaya whispers.
"Yeah, I'm good"
"You sure?"
"Yeah"
After a few minutes of talking to Anaya,  my eyes feel heavy and I decide to take a nap.

"No, no, please stop, please"
"You filthy idiot," he says as he continues to hut me with his belt.

"You should have died with your mother."

I wish I did

"Please stop, it hurts"

please stop
please stop
please stop

Please

I quickly open my eyes, my face filled with tears.

I wipe my face and look around to see I'm in a room.

I get up and see 2 doors. The one furthest from the bed is probably the exit.
I leave the room to see only Matteo awake and working on his laptop.

"Where's everybody else?" I ask.
"They're asleep in the other rooms."

I check the time to see it's 3:34 pm. I slept for about 45 minutes.
Since we left at 2 pm we still have 10 hours and 26 minutes left till we land.

"Are you hungry?" He asks
"No, I'm good"
"You haven't eaten since breakfast and you didn't even eat much then. Eat something, whatever you want. What do you want?"
"I'm really okay, I don't need anything."
"Come on, please"
"Okay"
"What do you want?"

"I don't know, I'm sorry"
"That's okay, I'll just order for you."

He calls one of the air hostesses and orders the food. After a few minutes, she comes out with a plate of a burger and fries and a coke.

She sets it down on the little table in front of us and I thank her.

I try to pick up the food with both hands but it seems I forgot about my wrist. I pick up the food with one hand then sit on my lap and look at it for a few seconds.
I pick up the fork and knife and cut the burger in half.

I pick up one half of the burger and bite into and I look up at Matteo to see a small smile on his face. He looks back at his laptop and I take another bite into the burger.

When I'm done chewing that I pick up one fry and eat it then take a sip of the coke.

I put the food back down on the table and Matteo looks at me.
"Are you done?" He asks
I nod my head and then he stands up, picks up the food, and sits next to me.

"Come on, a bit more?" He asks
He picks the burger up and moves it towards my mouth. I look at him as he does so.

I don't deserve this

I bite into the burger and when I'm done chewing he starts feeding me the fries then the coke.

"I can't, I'm gonna puke," I tell him when he goes to pick up the other half of the burger.

"That's okay," he says as he puts the plate down.
"Thank you"
"No worries tesoro"
"What does that one mean?"
"Don't worry about it" he replies.

I hear doors open and see Angelo and Enzo leaving one room and Isabella and Anaya leaving the other.

"I'm never sleeping with that idiot again"
"Ah come on, it was a mistake, I was having a dream that I was fighting ninjas and-"
"-I don't care idiot, you kicked me off the bed" Angelo cuts him off.

"He kicked you off the bed. Damn that's crazy"

----
It's 7 hours later and we're getting ready to go to bed.

Matteo gave me one of his sweat sets to wear to bed.

"We only have 3 rooms, how are we going to sleep?" Isabella asks.
"All I know is I'm not sleeping with that idiot there" Angelo replies pointing to Lorenzo.

"I don't plan on getting kicked by him either" Matteo replies.
"I'll sleep with him, if he pushes me off, I'll throw him out of the plane," Isabella says seeing as she's the only person left.

"I'm sleeping with Anaya if she wants to," Angelo says.
"Yeah that's okay"
She sends me a look asking if I'll be ok.
"You okay with sleeping with me?" Matteo asks and I nod my head.
"She has to be okay with it, I mean they're gonna sleep on the same bed for the next years of their lives," Lorenzo says and Matteo hits him on the back of his head.

We say goodnight to each other and head into our different rooms. Matteo opens the door for me and comes in after me and I thank him.

We walk towards the bed and again forgetting about my wrist, I put both my hands on the bed and put pressure on both of them trying to get into the bed.

I hiss in pain and Matteo rushes to my side with a worried look on his face.
"What happened, let me see"
He gently pulls my wrist towards himself, rolls up the sleeves of his hoodie, and sees my red wrist.

"What happened?" He asks
"M-my dad" He looks at me with a worried look and takes me to the other door. He opens the door and it's a bathroom.

It's a beautiful bathroom he goes into one of the cabinets and pulls out a first aid box. He sets it on the table then moves toward me, lifts me, and sets me on the counter.

He takes out everything for my wrist and starts working on it. Once he's done, he looks up, and his face is inches away from mine. We're looking into each other's eyes and our faces slowly gravitate toward each other's until we hear a knock on the door.

He takes me down from the counter and puts the box back in the cabinet then leads me out of the bathroom. When he opens the door, Enzo stands outside and talks to Matteo as I get into the bed.

When he's done, he gets into the bed and turns the lights off.

I hope I don't have another nightmare.
