Mafia Love

Panick

"Devi lasciare che glielo dica!" Romèo argued.
(You have to let me tell her!)

"Diglielo e ti caverò gli occhi" I threatened.
(Tell her and i'll cut your eyes out)

"Are you both forgetting I dont speak or understand Italian?" Quinn spoke from the back.

Romèo put his hand on his heart and shut his eyes "your boyfriend just threatened me, my heart can't take it" he said dramatically and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Dont be rude to him, what did he say?" She asked. "He told me he'd cut my eyes out, the pain" he said putting the back of his hand on his forehead as if he's in a drama show.

"Andrès! You cant say that!" She gasped making Romèo smirk.

"Signore, salvami" I sighed looking up before focusing back on the road.
(Lord save me)

We are currently going to the theme park, Romèo's choice. I agreed because I wanted the two most important people in my life to get along. Actually, one important person and some idiot I grew up with.

"You okay?" I asked looking at Quinn through the rear view mirror knowing she gets motion sick. She nodded her head but looked a little pale, I pressed the button besides me opening her window.

Romèo clicked on then spoke "how about I tell you the stories from when I was in Italy, I bet they are more exciting than anything Andrès has done" "Okay" Quinn replied eagerly.

And for the last hour of the drive, Romèo sat and told Quinn everything he did in Italy, obviously leaving out the gruesome and detailed parts and I just listened to my best friend and the love of my life getting along.

"We're here" I said and as expected Quinn was the first to be out the car. I took the water bottle out the cup holder before getting out myself and Romèo followed. Locking my car I gave Quinn the bottle which she just held.

"Amore have some water you'll feel better" I said opening the bottle, "I'm not thirsty, I will in a bit" she smiled. Fuck, that smile.
(Love)

I closed it and just threw it to Romèo. "If you get scared of the rights dont come crying to me, this was your idea" I said looking over at him who just shook his head, "watch me go on every single ride" He said confidently.

Surprisingly the first ride we went on Romèo was fine, we went on another and again he was fine. He walked ahead of me and Quinn like a lost child and we were his parents. God I can imagine Quinn being the best mom.

We were walking around the theme park when I felt a tight feeling in my chest, I shook it off trying not to let some weird feeling ruin today. It felt, familiar kind of.

I tried shaking it off but felt my forehead sweating. "I'm just gonna go to the bathroom, just stay with Quinn" I told Romèo, he looked concerned but I went to find the nearest bathroom.

I got to the bathroom and slammed it shut. Flashbacks of my abduction, Quinn's screams, the torture.

My breathing got heavier as the tight feeling in my chest grew. Shit.

Its my fault, I brought her into this. Fuck.

"Your weak" my fathers words began echoing.

The door opened, before I could tell them to fuck off it was Romèo. "I knew it" He said walking over to me.

My breathing got heavier as my chest got tighter.

"Its my fault, im weak, its my fault" I whispered to myself.

"Ascoltami, Andrès ascoltami, devi calmarti, ok?" He said putting his hand on my shoulder reassuringly.
(Listen to me, Andrès listen to me, you have to calm down okay?)

"Its my fault, its my fault" I repeated. "Look, copy me okay?" He said.

"Breathe in for 4 hold for 2 out for 4" He instructed, I tried once and burst into coughs. Im fucking pathetic.

"Look, whatever it is it's not your fault, your not weak and you can do this got it?" He assured.

I attempted it again and regulated my breathing with Romèo's help. I calmed down and splashed cold water on my face.

"How fucking pathetic can I actually be" I scolded myself, I turned to leave remembering Quinn got left by herself but Romèo grabbed my arm.

"You had panick attacks when you first began the mafia Andrès, you were overwhelmed with all the pressure and it does not make you weak, it shows you have emotions like any other human on this earth, now what triggered it?" He asked.

"I dont fucking know, I was fine it was a small pain in my chest next thing you know I cant breathe like a fucking joke" I replied.

"What was your fault?" He asked referring to what I was repeating. "Quinn's abduction, her pain and suffering is all my fault" I admitted.

"That is the last we hear you say that, it was not your fault nor hers and i'm here now i'm not going to Italy and your going to be fine, got it capriccio?" He reassured and I nodded my head.
(Freak)

We began walking out when I said "do not tell Quinn about this", he nodded and we made our way back.

He told me he knew something was up so he took Quinn to the food court and said he needed to restroom. We got back and saw her sat on a table looking around till she saw us.

"You two scared me, are you okay?" She asked hugging me tightly. "Yeah we're good, sorry amore" I apologised. Before letting go.
(Love)

"Seriously? After 22 years of friendship I don't get a nickname?" He scoffed.

"Yeah you do, its cappricio you idiot" I said rolling m eyes.
(Freak)

Just before he could speak a man bumped in to Quinn, he looked high as fuck. Seriously who comes to a theme park high?

"Oh i'm sor" She was cut off, "watch it bitch" he spat, I was about to go for the fucker before Romèo grabbed me, "my turn for fun" he smirked.

"Did they not teach you manners in that drug circle of yours?" He asked before punching him in the jaw instantly breaking it. Quinn covered her eyes before Romèo pulled him up by the collar looking dead in his eyes.

"Now your going to apologise for being such a dickhead and not watching where you were going because you decided to come to a theme park high as fuck, understood?" He threatened, the man nodded rapidly and I took Quinn's hands from her face.

"I'm s-sorry" He stuttered, his broken jaw didn't help his apology but he ran off afterwards.

"You didn't need to break his jaw" Quinn said, "yes I did, ill mannered people disgust me" He scoffed.

After 3 hours of more rides and games we decided to head back, you'd think after 3 hours he'd be exhausted but no Romèo has none stopped going on and on about how he went on so many rides not being scared.

"Are you expecting a fucking medal or something? At your grown age being able to go on rides without being scared is normal, not an achievement" I said.

"Dealing with your ass me and Quinn both deserve trophies" He scoffed making Quinn put her hand over her mouth to keep her from laughing.

"Desserts on Andrès!" Romèo called.
