Can We Be Fixed?

Chapter 9- Caleb's POV

I yanked the car door open slide into the passenger seat and sat there in silence, Talia's voice yelling and begging me to come back still ringing in my mind

I could still hear her and it was killing me inside, It took me so much to not run back inside and give her one last hug, to see her one last time

I don't think she would ever forgive me or Daniel and honestly I don't blame her, what hurt me the most is knowing I will probably never get to see her again

I slumped against the dashboard letting a tear trickle down my face, I was going to miss her so much, I regret ever hurting her, and If I could take it all back I wouldn't even hesitate to do so

I felt bad for her she has no one left anymore, no mom or dad or siblings, no friends nothing but her and a 2 bags of empty memories that probably mean nothing to her anymore

I would be lying to myself If I said she would have a good life because I didn't know where she was going to be taken and who was going to look after her

But I couldn't look into it I made sure to erase all traces of her so no one could find her and trace her back to me and Daniel, 

which also means we had no connection to her either once Ace drove her to an orphanage she could be moved from place to place and it was really hard to keep records so she would be gone

We both were involved in a dangerous line of work, Daniel has just recently started working for the mafia and I was going to after I had finished training and turned 17, and any of our enemy's could use Talia as a way to get to us, as she had always been our weakness which we hated.

And our boss Lorenzo had made it extremely clear no weakness were allowed at all, he had changed after he lost his little sister, all of the De Luca brothers had, I began thinking about her and where she might be and if she still was alive

She must be around the same age as Talia maybe even younger?

I snapped out of my thinking as I heard the Daniel slump into the drivers seat and slam the door shut with more force than needed making the whole car shake.

We didn't say a word to each other as he turned on the car and revered out of the parking lot and into the street, I could tell he was upset 

His Knuckles were white and tightly gripping the steering wheel and he looked like he was going to kill someone

"Do you think she is going to be okay?" I questioned, I already knew the answer to that, probably not but I wanted reassurance from him

I jumped from the sudden noise of my brother slamming his hands on the steering wheel angrily

"I don't fucking know, okay I don't know, so don't ask me questions that you know I can't answer"

"Okay well If she tries to call us on her phone will you answer?"

Daniel turned around glaring at me 

"What do you think Caleb, do you think we did all of this for nothing, our numbers have been removed and blocked from her phone and Ace has made sure she has no way of contacting us, everything related to us or about us has been removed from her phone and she won't be able to recover anything"

I was quiet for a second "so she's gone?" 

There was painful silence before he spoke "Forever"

"It better like this Caleb, we can't afford to have weaknesses and we both know we don't really love her, we will eventually kill her if she stays with us, you know that right?"
