Star Cross Lovers with Guns

Chapter 12

     Five days went by and I still haven't seen Gianluca. After I left his bedroom, I went to the basement to find Angelo holding a whip. He told me that he wanted to try something different. He couldn't break me—still can't and that was when he locked me in the basement. I haven't eaten anything in a hundred and twenty hours.

     Angelo thinks he can weaken me by removing my food and water but little does he know I was trained for this. My father trained me to last two weeks without any food or water and this bastard seriously thinks he could throw a curve ball at me. Little bitch has been whipping me for ten hours straight. With the amount of blood I'm losing is bad but he still whips me. Angelo comes at the break of dawn, then leaves at sundown. I think that's ten hours. I honestly do not know. There's no clocks in here so, I really don't know. The only source of time that I have would be the little square windows with bars on the side of the room.

     I'm just happy that the R.I.S.K Squad and the A.T. Duo made it to the base. After seeing Ricky and Keith walk in with Angelo, I knew that everything was good. Once Angelo finishing whipping me yesterday, he told Ricky and Keith to stay and watch me. The boys told me about Isabella and Sarah being on the fifteenth floor while Amanda and Tyler are on the security floor watching us as we speak. I'm happy that my friends are here. I have people to talk to.

     Of course, I have Gianluca to talk to but he hasn't come downstairs yet but I do see Massimo, Vince and Francesco—like a lot. The four of us got to know each other better. Ricky and Keith join in on our little group chats sometimes when Angelo isn't here. We try to have small talk and the three boys are always by my side when I'm not with Ricky or Keith. We try to make it look as if we are a giant group of friends and I could speak to some of them individually if I want to.

     I'm brought out from my thoughts when I see Massimo, Vince and Francesco walk in. They do this every morning just before Angelo comes in and beats the living shit out of me. Sending them a toothy smile but something seems off today. They don't seem as happy as they did the day before. Something's wrong. "What is it?" I ask them while raising an eyebrow.

     Massimo sighs as he makes his way towards me and sits next to me on the ground. I managed to take one of Angelo's fabric whips and used it as a bed—after all he moved from fabric to leather whips. Mass pulls me into his side while wrapping an arm around my shoulders. The others follow his lead as they plop down in front of me. "We have some bad news." I nod my head to show him that I am listening.

     Sighing, he shakes his head. "When we were leaving your cell yesterday, we saw Gianluca walking into his room," he pauses and looks me in the eyes. "kissing a girl."

     I can't feel my heart breaking again and I don't know why. Maybe it was because I was setting myself of for another heart break or because it's all too familiar that I'm just over it. It doesn't bother me and it scares me. I'm supposed to feel something but instead, I just feel a tiny amount of pain that spreads down my chest. Nothing more.

     The thought of Gianluca getting together with other girls while I'm locked up in here like some animal kills me. It was him who wanted a second chance. He wanted me. "I am so done with him." I mumble with a scoff as my voice comes out horsed. I suddenly feel my throat closing up. "How long has this been happening?" I feel Massimo tense. "Mass." I hiss, tears pooling in my eyes as I push them away.

     "Its been going on for a couple of days." Vince says.

     "Numbers" I demand while keeping a calm expression. My voice breaking slightly as I wait for the answer.

     "Four days..." Francesco says.

     My eyes go wide as I suck in a breath, before nodding my head at them. "Okay..." I answer before a tear rolls down my cheek. I can't believe it. I've been here for five days and the second I leave he decides to go bang girls a day later?

     "Nia, if you want to cry its okay. We're here for you." Massimo says while rubbing my arm.

     Chuckling at them, I continue to breath slowly. "W-What makes you think I'm going to cry?" The boys give me a knowing look and before I even understand what happening, tears come rolling down my cheeks. My vision blurs as I heave in giant sobs. "Are you fucking serious! He's been bringing cunts here right after I told him that if he- wow!" I say cutting myself off wiping away more tears. "Shows how much he cares about me." Placing my head in my heads, I sigh out annoyed. "I can't believe I let him—" I cut myself off with a giant groan. I can't believe I told these boys that I liked Gianluca again. That I thought he liked me the same way but turns out he doesn't give two flying shits about me. While I'm down here getting beaten to death, he's out and about fucking girls from left to right.

     Massimo continues to comfort me as Francesco rubs my knee. Vince sits there awkwardly clearly not knowing how to comfort me but it's alright because i'm the exact same way. "I'm so sorry Nia. We shouldn't have told you." Vince says in disappointment.

     Looking up at Vince, I shake my head. "N-No. Its okay. I'm okay."

     "You clearly aren't Nia. I shouldn't have told the guys to tell you. It's my fault. I saw him first, and should have kept it to myself." Vince shakes his head while looking down in shame.

     Shaking my head, I reach over to snatch Vince's hand. Rubbing small circles on his palm with my thumb, he looks up at me. "Its okay Vince. Thank you for telling them and me" Pulling my hand away, I lean against the wall. My eyes dart towards the three boys sitting around me. "Thank you—all of you. For telling me. It hurts like a bitch but at least I now know."

     "No problem Fionia." Massimo says. "So, what's the plan?"

     I chuckle at him. "What plan?"

     "We know there's a plan going through that head of yours." Mass nudges me.

     Laughing, I nudge him back. "Oh, that plan." Smirking at them, I send them an evil look. "Well. I was hoping you guys can tell Luca that you saw him and that you told me. This is what you," I say pointing towards Massimo. "Are going to say to him from me. Tell him—"

     "Wait let me record you so, that it will be easier." Massimo says taking out his phone. I nod my head, "Okay go."

      Smiling at the camera, I show it the middle finger before starting—quickly earning chuckles from the guys. "Congratulations on fucking those girls Luca!" My heart begins to tighten. "Congratulations on showing me how much you care about me!" A lump forms in my throat. "Congratulations on breaking your damn promise with me!" A tear slips down my cheek as I quickly wipe it away.

     Clearing my throat, my eyes turn back to the camera. "I don't know why but the need and want to tell you that you just lost me, is killing me. So. You lost me! I guess—for like—ever! Because I regret ever liking—no for ever loving you! I regret it all. I wish I could go back in time and change our high school experience. I wish I didn't get kidnap by your stupid ass and should have just shot you right there in then! You are a coward." Venom laced in my voice as I try to control my tears that continue to fall.

     "I hope you're proud with yourself. I hope I stay here because when I see you," A small chuckle leaves my lips as I look back at the camera. "It'll be too soon. I can't believe that I'm saying this but, I'd rather get torture or die than see your face ever again." Furiously wiping my eyes I continue, "You were my first. My first kiss, my first 'boyfriend'," I use air quotes around the word boyfriend, "my first everything! How could you use me not once but twice! I hope you understand your stupid mistakes because I'm done!" A sob leaves my lips as the video stops and Massimo quickly pulling me into a hug.

     "I'm sorry Nia."

     "Can you show that video to him today? Like now?" I say pulling away and ignoring his pettiness towards me. The three guys smirk, nodding their heads. They get up and make their way towards the door. "Oh, and if he's sleeping pour cold water on his face and then slap him across the face and say it's from Fionia!" I shout.

     "You got it!" They shout back.

     A couple of minutes passed until Angelo came walking through the door with Ricky and Keith by his side. "Attach her to the stand!" He orders the two boys, who nod their head and look at me with sorry eyes.

     Smirking at Angelo, Ricky and Keith grab me by the arms lightly. "Bring it on!" I spit at him. As the bring to towards a giant metal column.
