The Other Side (A Bruno Mars Fan-Fic)

Chapter 11

The next morning I get up early. I make myself look flawless, I need to represent myself as strong, and what he done to me means nothing. It's like a child; when a child has done something wrong and the parent / guardian gets annoyed the child normally retaliates. It's because the child doesn't want to show any signs of weakness, it's like animals, they sort it out by play-fighting and it's the same sort of thing with us. That's why I can't be weak infront of Danny, because he would believe that he can push me around. He can't. Not anymore.

"Luci? Are you decent?"

"Hahaha, yes Bruno, i'm clothed"

"Good, i'm coming in"

"Okay"

" . . . "

"What?!"

"You look stunning!"

"Really? Well, um, thanks!"

"You ready to see Danny?"

"No. No, i'm not. But I guess I have to be..."

"I'm going to be just outside okay, so if you need me, just call"

"Thank you. Seriously Bruno, thank you for this."

"Don't thank me. C'mon, let's sort this all out"

I slip on some shoes and walk out of the hotel room. I go downstairs and wait in the lounge area. After 20 minutes or so, I hear a familiar voice behind me.

"Luci"

I stand up, take a deep breath and turn around. I look at Danny, he was so good looking and being topless, my eyes wandered over him, but then I remembered why I was here. What he had done to me and how he had broken my heart.

"Daniel."

"C'mon now babe, don't be like that!"

He reaches out his hand to my waist but I step backwards. He has no right to touch me.

"Stay away from me"

"Come now, do you really want to say that to me? Remember what I said to you honey... You tell anyone-"

"Why are you here?"

"Oh, I came to warn you."

"Warn me?"

"About you little singing friend"

" . . . "

"He didn't tell you did he..."

"Didn't tell me what?"

"About his little find in your room that morning?"

" . . . "

"I'm going to leave you to discuss this... It was good seeing you again Luci"

I glare at Danny as he walks out of the lounge and outside the hotel.

"THERE HE IS!"

I jump in fright as Danny comes racing back towards me and grabs me. One arm around my waist and one by my neck, with a kitchen knife at my throat. My breathing increases in speed and is heavy, I see Bruno Mars, Phil and all the guys with a group of Italian and American policemen. Bruno, what have you done?!

"Don't come any closer!"

"Leave her alone Danny"

"You can't tell me what to do! You're just as much to blame for this!"

"What's he talking about Bruno?"

"Tell her! Tell her how you found that letter and brought her to Italy! Tell her how you trapped her so you could save yourself!"

"What?!"

"Luci-"

"Don't try and deny it! Your lover-man here brought you to Italy so that he could save his pathetic self!"

"Bruno?!"

"You were going to kill my family!"

"I wouldn't ever kill your family! Luci... Come with me, I won't hurt you, you're safe with me"

"Luciana!"

I feel the knife close to my neck, I squirm slightly and let out a moan as I feel the knife begin to make it's way into my skin. I feel my blood begin to run down my neck and stain my pale blue dress. Tears begin to run down my cheeks and I look up, guns are pointed at Danny, there's snipers from the hotel balcony that would shoot through the hotel windows and there's no one else in the lounge.

"AH! Danny please... Stop..."

"LET HER GO SON! IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY"

I can feel the knife sinking deeper into me and I feel light headed as I see the pool of blood beginning to collect below me. I battle to keep my eyes open. I know i'm losing too much blood.

"Fine, take her!"

I feel Dannys grip around me loosen and I fall to the floor, unable to hold my body up. People rush over to me and Danny as he throws the knife on the floor and puts his hands on the back of his head. The last thing I hear is him shouting to Bruno;

"IF I CAN'T HAVE HER... NEITHER CAN YOU..."

Bruno's Perspective. 

I rush over to Luciana, or at least attempt to, before people hold me back. I understand she is in a delicate position right now but I need to hold her. I guess keeping secrets isn't such a good idea. I'm an idiot, I might've just killed her. My family is safe, but I don't know if that was the right move. I was going to tell her once we knew she was safe, but it looks like I won't be getting that chance again. Oh Luciana...

"What've I done..."
