Old Amare

Chapter Twenty-Six

Surprise !!!!!!

_________________________________________

Amila POV

Once I had run through the gates surrounding the house, I took a deep breath.

I took out my wireless headphones and my iPhone that Dante bought me, looking for something to listen to.

Finally deciding on Fourth of July by Fall Out Boy , I put the headphones in my ears and began to jog down the long road ahead.

As I sped up , I felt my heart beating erratically within my chest.

The lyrics reverberated within me.

"It was the fourth of July
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
That went off too soon
And I miss you in the June gloom, too
It was the fourth of July
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
I said I'd never miss you
But I guess you never know
May the bridges I have burned light my way back home
On the fourth of July"

Suddenly I felt as if there was someone behind me , so I turned around quickly to look.

The house was no longer in my view , only trees and forest surrounded me. Realizing I was just being paranoid , I turned to keep running. I ran into another runner in front of me , scaring me.

" I'm so sorry ", I apologized , taking out my headphones.

The man in front of me , was wearing an all black tracksuit , a black baseball cap , and sunglasses. He nodded at my apology and began to speak " Don't worry about it , little Sophia".

My heart stopped because I remembered that voice.

" I don't know what you're talking about , my name is Amila Capello, wife of Dante Capello", I said backing away from the creep .

He smirked and began to walk towards me.

" You are Sophia Moretti , and you are going to die", he yelled , grabbing me around the neck.

He was going to kill me.

Shit.

I struggled to breathe while kicking at him wildly.

" Any last words , bitch ?", he whispered smiling at me .

" Look out", I spoke quietly.

Confusion settled on his face as he raised an eyebrow questioningly.

I kicked him smack dab in his dick, causing him to drop me on the ground quickly.

Fuck yeah!

I kicked him in the balls once more for fun and began to run back in the direction of the house.

I looked back while running to see the man standing up in pain and pulling a gun out of his pocket.

Shit. Shit. Shit.

I pushed myself to run faster , because I fucking refused to die like this.

The house was getting closer and closer , but so was the man behind me. I got to the gates and attempted to pull them open, but they wouldn't budge.

Fuck.

The man had disappeared somewhere.

Calling Dante from the phone , I began to get nervous.

When he picked up I began yelling " Open the fucking gate before I get fucking killed please".

I got no response but the gates began opening. I ran inside them and began running to Dante whom stood in the yard with his brothers and fifteen other men.

He caught me and began to hold me tightly.

The men stood with their guns drawn and began heading for the street.

It was just Dante and I , now.

" Its okay Bella , you are safe now.", Dante whispered into my ear.

I still didn't feel safe.

I felt as if someone was still watching us.

A shadow moved near Carter's car in the driveway, catching my eye.

Fuck. It was him.

Grabbing Dante's gun from his waist I began to fire off a round at the car.

"Oh fuck", the man yelled as a result of getting shot.

Dante looked from me to the car , and shook his head. He walked over to the guy whom lay unconscious on the ground.

" Nice shot , but Carter is gonna kill you when he sees his car", Vincenzo spoke laughing.

Shit.
I didn't think about the car.

" Put this man in the blackout room and wait for me" , Dante said to his men , walking towards me.

" Give me back my gun , and go into the house", he said to me , removing the gun from my hands.

I watched as he walked away angrily.

I almost died and he had the fucking nerve to be mad at me.

" I just saved your fucking life and you're gonna throw your additude around", I yelled at his retreating back.

He didn't respond to me at all.

Running up the stairs , I went into the house slamming the door behind me.

I needed a hot shower and alcohol.

Going into the kitchen I grabbed the bottle of Fireball sitting on the counter.

I then proceeded to head up to the bathroom.

I took off all my clothes and set the tub to fill up. Pouring in some rose scented bubble bath , I turned the water off.

I sat in the tub and let the hot water relax my tense muscles.

I pulled the whiskey from the side of the tub and began to drink straight from the bottle.

The alcohol and the water calmed me to sleep.
