Dark Moves Of Love ~ Neymar Jr

Chapter 78

"What?"

"Shhh." Neymar said as quietly as he could.

I was standing behind him but I could still see his face in the moonlight that shined through the windows. He looked frantic, his eyes searching for any sign of movement.

"Let's get out of here and call the police." I whispered and grabbed his arm, trying to get him to come back outside but his feet stood firmly in place.

"No." He said and quietly walked to an adjacent room that I hadn't even noticed in my panic. He came back out carrying a hammer.

"No way." I told him. "It's too dangerous."

"Go back outside, if you hear something call the police."

"Neymar no!" I said and at the same moment a loud crack from somewhere upstairs disrupted the silence.

Neymar turned to look at me.

"If you want to be stupid I'm coming with you." I said firmly. He motioned for me to stay behind him and we silently started walking towards the living room. I looked around, trying to see if anything was moving in the dark, my heart beating frantically in my chest, when I heard a noise behind me.

"Neymar!" I yelled the moment a hooded figure flew off the staircase behind me and landed where I would have been, had Neymar not pushed me out of the way at the last second.

I heard a loud bang as the baseball bat the hooded figure – who seemed to be a man— was carrying clashed with the floor instead of my head with force.

Neymar who had landed next to me didn't waste any time as he grabbed the hammer once again and swung it towards the man. At the exact same moment I heard a woman's voice coming from upstairs as she cried "Neymar?"

But the voice was familiar.

"STOP!" I yelled so hard that I felt my throat burning. "Neymar stop!" I screamed again, the same moment the lights came on and to my relief I saw Neymar looking at me with a surprised look on his face, his hand raised high in the air with the hammer, ready to strike.

"Liv wha—" Neymar started saying when we both turned around towards the staircase at the sound of footsteps.

"RAFAELLA?"

"It's us! It's us!" She said as she got down. "OH MY GOD!" She yelled and run towards the man that was still on the floor and to my horror I saw red liquid spilling. Had Neymar managed to hit him?

I fell to my knees next to Rafaella as she turned him around and with surprise and horror I recognized the man's face. Alex.

"Alex! Alex! Alex are you alright?" Rafaella screamed hysterically. With the corner of my eye I saw Neymar frozen like a statue, the hammer still in his hand.

"I'm fine. The bat ricocheted when I fell. I think I broke my nose."

I took a deep breath in relief.

"Help me get him up." Rafaella told me.

We carefully lifted Alex up and placed him on the couch and Rafaella run to the kitchen to bring back something to wipe the blood away.

"Hi Liv. Neymar." Alex said, forming a half smile, through the blood. He looked really pale.

"Alex what the hell?" I exclaimed. "How are you here?" I asked as Neymar finally let the hammer fall to the floor and took a step towards us.

Rafaella emerged from the kitchen at that moment and started gently whipping the blood away. "We have to go to the emergency room. The have to set your nose back."
