My eyes shoot open at the feeling of hands shoving me to the ground... and just like that I'm slapped back into reality.
Only now do I hear multiple gun shots go off followed by yelling around me. I'm frozen as someone covers me with their body. I look up to find Alonzo yelling at someone.
"Cover him" Giovanni shouts pointing at someone beside me. I snap my head to see a figure crouching down holding his side in pain. Lorenzo...
"ENZO" I yell and try to reach him but am pulled back by Alonzo who picks me up and places me behind a car.
"Stay down Arianna" he growls before taking out a gun of his own. What is going on. We're having a fucking shootout outside my grandparents house... wait the rest of my family are inside.
Suddenly the sound of cars pulling up makes me snap my head to the action. My uncle is yelling before pointing at someone. On closer inspection I spot Donte bleeding out and unconscious in the arms of some men. The sight causes a pang of guilt to rise up inside of me... he literally tried to shoot me so why am I feeling like that.
The rest of Piettos men speed off ending the shootout. "Son" my father says snapping me out of my head. I look over to see Lorenzo holding his bleeding side still but standing up.
"I'm okay" Enzo utters looking a bit pale. I don't think so brother. I leave the car running over to him as Gabriele comes running out with a first aid kit.
"Why Enzo" I yell at my brother tears brimming my eyes. "You got hurt because of me" I say wiping my eyes with my sleeves. Stop being so damn selfish Arianna, get it together.
"Anna, I'll never let anyone hurt you again, do you understand me. I'll jump in front of a hundred bullets for you" he says staring down at me. I want to hug him but I don't.
"Arianna why didn't you move" Alexander suddenly yells drawing everyone's attention. I look around at the disappointed faces in the family. They noticed that too.
My mind continues to replay the events of that day over and over again. That was one of my worst days in the facility and for years guilt consumed me however after a while I pushed that guilt aside. I forgot all about that incident, it was the only way I was going to be able to function.
I guess today just proves no matter how much you try and forget your past, it will catch up to you. The past won't stay past forever. The evil of this world can never stay hidden, it lingers and claws at the minds of those who have encountered it.
"You're lucky I shot him Anna, that crazy bastard was going to kill you" Domenico says loudly. I can always count on him to have my back.
I look over at Lorenzo who is getting wrapped up, although his eyes linger on mine. He's damn strong, he just got shot and he's still standing. He could've died today... I could've died today. I guess fate does have my back after all.
