"Calm down Kay!" Gigi exclaimed, holding on to her seat all for her dear life. "Why are you driving so damn fast?"

"I just want to get far away from that house as possible." I answered as I swerved my car to the right. The sound of cursing any horns being pressed filled my airs as I drove past a red light.

"Why, what happened?" She questioned, attempting to lean forward but was stuck to the seat as I accelerated faster. "I saw the window broken, did someone try to break in again." I shook my head no. "Then what bitch! You know I hate having to guess things."

"It was just Giovanni having one of his episodes." I stated, looking ahead.

"Go on." She urged, as I stayed quite.

I sighed. "He shot the window to get into the house because he forgot he had keys. When he got in the house I shot him, not knowing it was him," I quickly added, "but then he acted like nothing happened.". "I told him let's go upstairs to take the bullet out, but before we could he pointed a gun in my face and started shouting about me being his and not leaving him." I continued, feeling Gigi staring at me intensely as I told her what happened. "So I agreed I wouldn't, then I took the bullet out showered him and gave him a sedative to knock his out.

"You didn't." She cackled, slapping my leg.

I flinched at the hard lash against my leg. "I took my shook ass downstairs to wait for you." I said with a deep sigh. "I really thought the therapy and pills were helping him."

Gigi let out a homorless scoff. "Giovanni can't be helped babe and you know it. That bitch is a certified psychopath."

"That's not true." I disagreed, moving the car forward. "You and the rest of your brothers were diagnosed with almost the same disorders as Giovanni but you improved." I challenged.

She sighed and turned her body on the seat to face me. "I'm not saying that the rest of us is completely sane individuals, because you know that crazy never seems to skip generations in this family, but come on compare Giovanni to us." She reasoned. "He's on a level of his own. I mean he actually enjoys killing as much as he says 'its only a job'." She mocked air quoting the the last phrase with her fingers.

That brought my mind back to the various time I saw Gio kill people over the stupidest thing without a second thought or regret.

"Plus, we wanted to be helped so did everything to improve our irrational behaviour." She continued. "Giovanni still thinks like a kid, he's not ready to man up and take responsibility of any of his actions."

"The thing that's bothering me though is that I don't really want to go away from him." I said, tightening my hold on the steering wheel. "I know I should but I don't know I just can't seem to leave him fully. I love him." I confessed pathetically.

A small smile plastered against her face. "Then stop complaining and love his crazy ass." She beamed. "I should advise you to get away from him as far and quick as you can. You will need to run. Run really fast and change your face, while your at it you should get a new identity too because lords knows that a psycho with the connections that Gio has is a dangerous thing." She said in a joking manner but you could tell she was serious. I laughed quite at her attempt to lighten the mood.

"However y'all love each other and I like seeing my baby brother happy, so I would love for you to stay in his life for selfish reasons. Plus your the only girl in the house with me." She admitted, with a wink. "You've been dealing with his intense mood swings for over a decade so it's nothing new to you."
