No matter what

you go I go- 49

- 5 months later- 

" heather, come down for breakfast! your doctors appointment is an hour!" 

" last was morocco. after that was Greece" a foreign voice echos in my headsets 

" Heather! if your still on that computer I swear to god!" 

" and then ?" I say on the mic 

" I'm sorry but that is all I know " 

" I didn't pay you a whole bunch of money for you to give me little updates. I need the full thing. exact location!" I say with a stern voice. anger reaching my throat but I keep it down as much as I can 

" Heather!" 

the door slams open and I slam my laptop shut fast. 

" Heather how many more times do I have to call you!" 

I look over to see a angry Alex with a plate on one hand and a bottle of pills on the other 

" I was busy doing some homework " I take my headphones off 

" sure you were" Alex walks in placing both of those items that I do not want at all down on the desk 

" your parents are out of town again for work" I can feel the sourness coming out of his tone 

I just nod and force the food down my throat fast 

" Heather calm down" Alex looks at me " you need to chew" 

I glup down fast and look at him " I need to run some errands so ill go to the doctor myself you don't need to come with" 

" what errands" Alex points a look at me 

"your not my father Alex" I chug down my pills then get up grabbing my bag 

" Heather. you won't find him" Alex sighs 

" because you send him away good?" i grab my shoes putting them on 

" Heather" he sighs rubbing his temple " it's been a while now. your health is finally back in good shape. please don't keep risking yourself. you dont even know where you are going yourself" 

I tie my hair up and slam out the house getting in my car that mom had given me. it's her old car, and it works fine so there's not much for me to complain about. I back out the drive way and drive off 

its been 5 months....5 months since I have last seen him. he vanished. his number no longer exist  his socials are all gone. ive tried asking everyone, hired detectives, even filed a missing report. nothing has worked so far. I just want to see him. it's been so long and with those people after him I wonder if he is okay and safe. 

im not going to that damn stupid appointment. im going to Italy. how am I going there? I took all my savings and booked a flight. Alex will be fuming when he finds out but I don't give a fuck right now. one of the people that I had hired to look into him told me his newest location is Italy. 

italy is his home town. ive been waiting for him to show up there, because that means that he is safe then. I never knew much about his mom and dad but I do know that they also did a bunch of Shadey stuff in their prime years and his dad knows more than half of Italy. I once overheard him talk to Leo saying to go to Italy because there no one can harm him.

so that is where I am going now. is this the best idea? no.... 

will I be killed for it....maybe...

but right now I don't care about anything but wanting to see him 

I pull up at the airport and grab my small suitcase that I packed the night before. I open the glove box and grab all my meds and put it in my purse. 

 I still need to be alive to see him....

I get out my car and look at the airport

my baby, wherever you are I will find you.

LEO POV 

" lay here for now let the storm calm down" 

I look at Ice and then look around the yacht, scanning around the room I walk towards the bar and grab the bottle 

" and for the love of god stop drinking. you've became an alcoholic" Ice rushes and tries to grab the bottle away from my hand, but I move fast shooting him a glare. 

" Leo..." he sighs " things have calm down thankfully. with your alliances more than half of your enemies are dead, but you still have some more to go. Ace isn't dead yet. he's in hiding so I need you to be in your full senses incase anything" 

I sit down on the stool and grab a glass pouring the drink 

" updates" I speak out before downing the shot 

Ice sighs and grabs an iPad from one of the guards. " she's attending her appointments regularly, taking her medication regularly. according to her recent reports there has been a lot of improvement to her health. heart is stable and so is her lungs. as long as she keeps taking her medications and attending her regular check ups she will be good in no time" 

I nod taking another shot 

" umm her mental check ups have also been..okay" Ice scrolls through the iPad 

I put the glass down and look over at him " what do you mean okay?" 

he rubs his forehead and then scrolls through the iPad again " she went to her psychiatrist like two time....in the past 5 months...but there's not much data. we hacked into all of it and the only thing there is patient does not respond to any questions". 

I look back at my glass and pour another shot. 

the only thing that is numbing all this pain away are these damn bottles of alcohol. nothing besides that keeps my mind away from her thoughts. even when I try working I feel her presences. her voice in my ear telling me to get off and get in bed with her. 

I stare at the empty glass and reach my hand towards the bottle but Ice snatches it quick 

" Leo. enough. I cannot see you break yourself daily. all you consume is alcohol and that's it. you aren't attentive at all, your life is at stake you need to snap out of it. never have I ever seen you like this and its making everyone. All your staff on their fucking toes. you can't just keep drinking and killing people. you need to snap out of this!" 

I look over at Ice and laugh at his determination to be dead right now " watch your mouth, you forget who your speaking too" 

" I would zip my mouth if I was talking to THE Leo. who has always made it his goal to conquer what he sets his mind too. always attentive and sharp. right now there is a different Leo. not my boss, not the mafia that everyone hides from." Ice grabs all the other bottles and places the iPad down in-front of me

" you can look through it if it'll help you calm down" Ice shakes his head and walks out the room 

I look down at the iPad and turn it on. there she is. I half smile and scroll through pictures of her that were taken by my men, where she is walking around the park. I scroll more and see pictures of her leaving the doctors 

she looks healthy. that's good. she's doing better. that's all I need to see.
