I walk inside of the hospital, wth Mellie's hand in mine. "Luis Battaglia's room, please." We are directed to room 722 and go in.My brother Renaldo is already in there. He's hunched over our grandfather and he's crying. I let go of Mellie and I walk over and place my hand on Naldo's back. "He'll be fine, man. OG has been through worse," I say.
Renaldo looks at me and says "The doctors say it's not looking good. The bullet just missed his heart and at his age, that's not the ideal place to get shot." I feel myself getting angry upon hearing this and I need to sit down before I go crazy.

Drago accidentally sits on me. He jumps up and mumbles an apology before rushing out. Aw shit, he's upset, I think to myself. He just needs some time alone.Soon enough, I hear crash, a door slam, and a scream. That's him. Renaldo looks at me. I smile and tell him that I'll handle his brother.
I did not expect to see what I saw when I walked out.

**dialogue in Italian**
"WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING ANOTHER SURGERY WHILE MY GRANDFATHER IS LAID UP IN THIS GODDAMN HOSPITAL!!!!" I yell as I have a doctor pinned up against the wall."I'm sorry, I'm sorry. He's scheduled for tomorrow. I swear," he whimpers. I punch him in the gut and he groans.
"TOMORROW!!? ARE YOU FU-" I stop, mid rant. I look at my arm "Mellie, get the fuck off of me," I say calmly.
She shakes her head no. I take a deep breath. "Mellie, please get off of me."
"Nope", she replies. "Let him go," she whispers. Now it's my turn to shake my head no.
Melanesia
He shakes his head no and his bottom lip quivers slightly. I grab the hand he has that is around the doctor's throat. "Drago Luciani Battagia, let go of him. If you kill him, you'd still have to wait until tomorrow to find another doctor. He is working on someone right now. If he says tomorrow, then tomorrow it is. Now, let go of the man and let him go back to tending his other patient."He finally lets go and the doctor scrambles to catch his breath. "Go," I say to him and the doctor nods at me before going back into the operating room. "Good, no-" I'm cut off because Drago has run off again. Oh Lordt.

I go back into my grandfather's room.
"Hey, you good? What was all of that racket outside?" My brother asks. "Oh, you know me, the resident hothead," I laugh. Renaldo shakes his head. "Does G know what the fuck just happened?" I ask. Naldo shakes his head no. "Cool. I'll call him tomorrow to let him know. Yes, yes, tomorrow. Fix your face. We need sleep so we can come back refreshed. Tomorrow, we can call the rest of the family while he's in surgery so we can give them an update. Now, get some rest. I'll see you later," I say before giving my brother and grandfather a kiss on the cheek. I turn around to walk out and Mellie is smiling at me from the doorway.I walk up to her. "Thanks for saving that doctor and making me let him go," I say before I lean in and give her a kiss. "Let's go so I can show you how much I appreciate you." She blushes and we both walk out the same way we walked in-- hand in hand.
