Mafia Family

51. Saved

You know the feeling when you feel like a train hit you. My head aches and my body is feeling tired bht at the same time my mind feels fresh.

However, i still have this burden on the back of my mind.
Is this really over?

Aaron is still a problem.

I lost two more friends. But it is for good.

I love my family alot. But i still can't believe that they were ready to die for me. Risk everything for me.

Would i have been able to live if somthing happened to Dustin?

Definitely not.

How could i get this lucky?

I finally opened my eyes and looked around.

My room.

I sat up and stretched but winced when i pulled my sore muscles.

I touched my side of lips where it was busted but felt a liquid.

So my wounds were treated.

I need to go and check if everyone are okay.

Including Ivan.

He was there for me again.

I moved my feet down and stood up but winced again a little.

I used to get beaten up much worse then this. I can handle this.

I slowly walked towards the door and decided to find my family.

My first destination was Dustin. I have to give him a mindful on how ye cannot sacrifice himself to save me.

His room was not really far. I knocked on the door twice and heard
"Come in"

I opened the door and saw him on the bed laying down while on the phone.

As soon as he saw me, he dropped his phone and gave me his undivied attention.

"You should not be out of the bed." He commented.

"And you should not be sacrifice yourself for me" I said with hands on my waist.

"Get out" he said and went back on his phone.

"No! I need answers." I demanded.

He sighed and dropped his phone again.

"That topic has nothing to be discussed"

"Dustin, why would you sacrifice yourself. You could have died. Thankgod everything happened in our favor but what if something happened to you?" I said with unshed tears in my eyes.

"So what i just let you die? Ofcourse it was not an option. I'd rather die than see you dieing." He said nonchalantly as it was not something significant and here my heart swelled.

"Do you think i would have been able to live with the life that you saved my sacrificing yours" i broke down.

And he knew at that point that i was really serious.

He jumped of the bed and hugged me.

"Never and i say never put my life before yours" i say while hugging him.

"I'm afraid that won't be possible in this life." He said while patting my head.

Can you believe this was the same Dustin who hated me and thought of me as the most insignificant thing and nuisance on earth.
But now everything changed.

Before i can protest on what he said, twins came busting in the door.

They snatched me from Dustin huged me.

Dustin sighed

"How are you sister?" Tyler asked still hugging me.

"I'm okay now." I said and we broke the hug.

"Dustin were you hugging Liz? But you never hug anyone. Did you change your mind? Can we get a hug too? Taylor spoke teasingly.

"You've five seconds to leave before i throw you guys out of the balcony. Get out" he said laid on the bed.

We snickered and left the room in peace. Today was a long day.

"Where's everyone else?" I asked them

"Everyone are in the living room except Ryan who is out taking care of something." Tyler said.

I nodded and didn't really give thought to it and went to meet dad and everyone in the living room.

As soon as i stepped in the living room, dad was the forst one to notice me.

"Princess? How are you feeling?" He asked as he got up and came towards me.

"Aside from minor injuries and pain nothing much." I said sheepishly.

He looked really concerned.

"Nothing worse then i habe already faced so it's not much." I said waving off and making atmosphere lighter.

My attempts went in vain when i realised what i said.

Everybody tensed.

"I'm really fine but very hungryyy" i whined to which dad patted my head and smiled a little.

"I made your favourite pancakes" Ethan announced.

"Yayy" i exclaimed and quickly went towards the kitchen counter whilst Ethan set up the plate of pancakes and fruits.

I munched on it and twins joined me. We fought a little when they started stealing food from my plate.

"Dad! They are stealing my food" i cried.

Noah came and gave both of them slaps on their head to which i snickered.

While twins protested but dad took Noah's side.

"Dad" i called him

"Yes Liz?" He diverted his attention on me.

"About today, i think it's not over yet." I mumbled.

"What do you mean?" He asked curiously.

"Aaron was also involved in all this. It was all their plan from the very beginning. And we didn't even see him there." I said calmly.

"He's already been taken care of" Another voice spoke before dad could answer.

I turned around on the stool to see the owner of the voice.

Ryan

"Taken care of?" I asked suspiciously.

"Yes and now you don't need to worry about anything." He said while coming towards me.

I jumped off the chair and hugged him.

"Thankyou." I whispered.

I broke the hug and faced everyone else.

"Thankyou everyone for saving me. I can't explain how lucky i feel to have you guys as my family. I never thought anyone would take a stand for me and fight for me." I said with tears in my eyes.

"Where is my Thankyou shorty?"
