His Girl

34 ~ Amicizia

Courtney's POV

I keep looking at my hands as their boss babbles on. Will he just get to the point?

"You've meet Amy, right?" He asks.

I nod my head, not looking up at him.

"Well, Amy is Amelia Russell." As soon as he says that, the whole world stops. My world stops. What? My missing best friend joined the Italian Mafia!? How? How could she just leave me in the dark? She disappear? Vanish?

"C-can you r-repeat that?" I stutter.

"I'm so sorry Courtney," her familiar voice sounds so calm.

I get up from couch and stare at my best friend. She's dyed her hair, light pink. As I keep looking at my best friend, the more she began to look more like her old self. I give her a small smile and a huge hug.

"Eh, sorry to interrupt this friendship reunion but I have some more news." Their boss interrupts.

I walk back over to couch and sit next to Ashton.

I look down at my fingers and back at Amelia or Amy. What do I call her now? I look down at my fingernails as their boss continues to speak.

"Um, so Courtney I feel like you deserve an explanation on everything that has happened." Of course I deserve an explanation! He better have a good explanation.

"This is going to sound like a creepy stalker story but we had actually been looking for you for a while," their boss starts. They had been looking for me? Why? These people really are creepy stalkers! "Brody wasn't actually who you think he was. He was working in your dad's gang. He was asked to hook up with you, fuck you and dump you. Your dad was slowly blaming you for everyone in your family's death. He wanted Brody to leave you vulnerable and re-kidnap you."

I look up at their boss telling me this. This is bullshit. He is telling me bullshit! Absolute bullshit! Brody wouldn't do that to me! My own father wouldn't do that to me!

"No! That is bullshit," I shout. "Absolute bullshit! They wouldn't do that to me!" I pick up a pillow and hurl it at him.

I take off running, ignoring the yells to come back. Where am I running to? Where can I go? I just need to get out of here.

I go back into the kitchen and saw the backdoor. I run to it and fling it open but an ear piercing alarm stops me.

Luca's POV

I sit on the floor and listen to Boss try to tell Courtney what was really happening. I wasn't really listening until I hear Courtney start swearing. I look up and see Courtney chuck a pillow at boss.

I smother my laughs and look over to Boss. He was glaring at Ashton.

"I think we should give her a bit of space." Amy mutters looking down at her nails.

"As long as she doesn't leave the house or lock herself in a bedroom." Boss says, getting up.

"Give her som-" Ashton begins but was cut off by an alarm.

Is it an intruder? Or Courtney trying to get out?

I grab my gun from pocket and got up. All the other gang members did the same.

I head towards the kitchen, getting covered by Spencer. I slowly swing the door and swore.

"She's done another runner," I yell out.

"Cazzo inferno!" Spencer mutters. (Translation: Fucking hell.)

I sigh and mutter some colourful words in Italian. Why Courtney? I know you are upset, but it's too fucking dangerous for you! And us!
