Loving you

Chapter 56

Angela's Pov:

After dinner I went straight to my room and did what I always did. I went to the window to stare at the house in front, Dad told me that was one of the Moretti's houses. They sometimes come back but rarely he said, I think it had to do something with me. I sit there looking out the window, I pull my knees against my chest then imagine Adriano there.

I laugh at the thought that if I grew up here, in this house I'd probably have this cliche highschool romance story. Adriano and I best friends since we were children, going to the same school, both of us had crushes on eachother, eventually going to prom together and probably kiss in the moonlight when he dropped me off at home even though he lived across me but... that didn't happen. I was Alice Mckenzie in highschool I was normal, nothing exciting happened in my life. I went to school, had normal friends, went to prom with my friends, nothing happened in my life until now.

It's funny how I always thought I'd always have a normal life. I'm never going to be normal anymore and to be honest... I don't want to. I love my life now but I would love for Adriano to be apart of my life too. Glancing once more out the window I look at the shining stars above and the lonely moon.

All I could do is only hope Adriano was looking at the moon too, thinking about me maybe... Then something drew my attention, one of the lights of the house was on. Without any thought I grab my peach kimono cardigan reaching my legs and ran out my bedroom door not caring I was wearing my pajamas under. As soon as I get downstairs I hear the tv on in the living room and heard someone shout my name but I ignore it.

I open the front door and there were two men guarding it but I didn't care. I ran bare foot and ran as fast I could to the house across us, the thought of Adriano being there made my stomach queasy. I must look like a lunatic for doing this but if he's really there, I want to see him.

I ran across the street and heard Antonio shouting my name in the back but again I ignore it. Pacing to the front door I knocked repeatedly on it, the sound of the wood making a 'tok tok' sound. I hear Antonio's voice getting closer by the second and also Luca's. I look back and they were walking to me as if they were furious. I think to myself why they would be mad? I didn't do anything wrong have I? Well actually I did, I ran like a crazy person outside the house after eight Pm. I think of all the excuses I could use on them but then I was pulled out of my thoughts because I heard a key inserted into the lock then twisted, my heart was racing 'bump bump bump' is what I heard, I thought the whole world could hear it beat this loud.

I hear the door open little by little, the creaking sound making me more anticipated to see him. I close my eyes for a second and the door was wide open, I felt the light of the room shine on me. I open my eyes slowly and I was met with a Moretti, but not the one I was expecting. With disappointment I look at the man standing before me and give him a polite smile. He looked shocked to see me and looked at me as if I have gone crazy but he eventually he smiled back. I decided to speak first so I greeted him.

"Well hello to you too Alice" He said with a warm voice

"Alonzo, I'm sorry to bother you..." I said disappointed

"You thought my brother was here didn't you?" His voice was filled with pity for me, I knew his family knew that I missed him so much.

"Yeah, I was just thinking about him and I saw the light on" I told him

"That was me, well of course you already know that" He chuckled

"Alice I know you miss him and we all do but we don't know if he's coming back any time soon. My brother is a hard headed person and I don't know what happened that day but when he makes a decision he sticks by it wether it's a very stupid one or hasty or even a clever one. He's done this before you know?"
