Chapter: 27 A Shoulder To Cry On

Chapter: 27

Serena's POV: 

We made it out of my house as the passage lead us back into the square of Florence. We walk down the street in a somewhat uncomfortable silence. I didn't know what to feel and I didn't know how to take of this once supposed lover of Ezio's. What was his lover like? I bet she was beautiful and kind to him. I'm kind and I made not voice my problems to him, but I think we had reach some level of trust between us. I felt like we were growing closer with each passing day and now with all of this. I just don't know what to make of it.

How can my brother say those awful things to me? I quickly block out of the other questions not wanting to lose it right here in the middle of the streets of Florence with everybody watching me break down. I know my facade is slowly breaking by every minute that we pass people who were happy. I was not happy at the least and I couldn't seem to even feel one emotion. It was like I was an empty shell walking around with no where in particular. Is this what it means to be in shock? I don't know... I never really experience this until now.

Ezio didn't let go of my hand and he has been kind to me. He has shown me great patience that I don't think I will ever know how to be patience very well like he can. He is willing to let me think it over and he told me that the woman that he had loved broke his heart. I know the feeling and I might have been younger than I am now. It's not a pleasant feeling in the world by all means. It's painful and it could leave scars that heal in time. 

We came to a building as he let go of my hand slowly before he start climbing to the side of the building. I follow him and once I reach the top he help me up onto the roof top. He grab my hand again as he lead me over to the garden houses again. He help me into them as he follow me after a moment as I got myself situated on the floor of the garden house. He sat down in front of me as he gently took my hands in his as he rub his thumbs across the back of my hands. "Serena... you don't have to hide your feelings from me..." 

I kept my poker expression as he whisper leaning in though me "Let go..."

I shook my head refusing to break down in front of him as he lean in some more pressing his lips to my forehead as he move to my ear and whisper "It's okay, Serena. I'm here for you...let go" 

I began to shake as my barricade was slipping as he whisper once more "Let go..." 

I couldn't hold onto my barricade any longer as it broke and I felt million of emotions go through my mind as I burst into tears. He wrap his arms around me- drawing me onto his lap and holding me tightly to his chest as I sob.  All of my pain came rushing back as the feel of betrayal did as well. I was angry again as I sob harder against him. Why did my brother do that? Why did he said those awful things to me? Why did he change so drastically? I don't understand... 

Antonio's word rip me to shreds and my heart felt like it couldn't take much more. I continue to sob as he rub my arm soothingly as he rub my back as well. It felt good as it started to calm me as my cries slowly became whimpers. I gave into sleep as my whimpers turn into silence. Ezio kept holding me as I slowly close my eyes as I felt his lips against my forehead once more. 

*******************************************

Ezio's POV: 

I watch her sleep feeling terrible that she had to know part of my past and her brother practically rip her heart to shreds. I slowly wipe the tears that were slowly tickling down her cheeks as she finally found sleep. I continue to rub her back to keep her in a calm sleep as I thought about how the way her brother acted. It's as if someone had told him what happen, but in their version. He was manipulative of the truth by someone, which cause him pain and he took it out on Serena.

I only hope she'll believe me of what I told her of me and Cristina. There is no more us... she is with her fiance and I'm here doing my mission's. Well helping Serena with hers... at least we now confirm that her mother was an Assassin like me and my Uncle, which he was right all along. Serena also follow the path of her mother and I'm glad for her company. I have been feeling different feelings for her and maybe...they'll grow into something more.
