Star Cross Lovers with Guns

Chapter 25

     After I spoke to Angelo, Vince texted me saying he wanted me upstairs in Gianluca's room as soon as possible. Doing so, I walk into the bedroom to find him there. Gianluca's lying down on the bed wearing his famous grey joggers, leg wrapped up, heart monitor and I.V. attached to him. He looks so peaceful sleeping.

     "Perfect! You're here!" Vince says, walking out of the bathroom. "Why are you still standing? Go lie down next to him." He demands as I shake my head. "It's a king size bed, he won't feel you there. I promise."

     "Let me change into my pyjamas first, okay?" I sigh as Vince nods his head moving out of the way. Going to the chair, I grab Gianluca's ACDC t-shirt that he gave me on my first day here—along with a pair of his clean boxers. Heading towards the bathroom, I change quickly before walking out and jumping into bed; simply leaving my clothes on the floor because I stopped caring at this point.

     The second I lay down, Vince starts to hook me up to a heart monitor and I.V. cord. "You are under bed arrest missy. Only time you are able to get up is when myself or any of the guys are here. Understood?" I nod my head. "Good." A smile stretches across his face as he heads towards the door. "Now. Get some sleep." Shutting the lights, he quickly leaves while leaving the door half open.

     Sighing, my eyes dart towards the window. The dark sky  causes the stars to shine so bright. The moon is being blocked by big grey clouds as I know it will begin to rain any minute. Slowly, little drops of rain hit the window and quickly turns into a storm as the rain comes crashing against the window making it impossible to sleep.

     Turning my to the right, Gianluca lays there peacefully sleeping. Looking back at todays events, I'm happy that I played the game. Sure it was long and my injuries are endless but if I hadn't won, I wouldn't be somewhat free. There's no need to be tortured anymore. It's all thanks to Gianluca. If it weren't for him, none of this would have happened and I would still be getting tortured. My mind soon leads to what Gianluca said, that he was sorry and that he wouldn't leave me. He didn't want to lose me again. But—Why did he leave in the first place?

     Sighing, I run my left hand over his cheek cupping it as I start running circles with my thumb. "Why did you leave me?" I whisper. "If you didn't want to lose me why did you leave?" Watching him sigh out in his sleep, his arm soon snatches around my waist and pulls me close. Realization hits as I slap his chest. "What the fuck! You're awake!"

     "Because I'm not good enough for you." Luca whispers back ignoring my outbreak. He slowly opens his beautiful eyes as they bore into mine. "It was all a mistake. I thought you would be better off without me. I didn't think you would actually want me. No one wants me. My sisters and brother are mad at me. My mom won't even look at me and my dad...well, he's something else." His chocolate brown eyes slightly sparkle as he looks at me. "None of them want me anymore and I thought that you wouldn't want me either because of all the shit I put you through."

     My heart breaks slightly at his words as tears pool his dark eyes. "Then this game came to mind where I would be able to get you back once you won. I guess I was wrong." He huffs, resting his forehead on mine as a tear slips.

     Wiping a couple of tears away, he pulls back to fully look at my face.  Slowly, a soft smile appears as it warms my heart. I send him back the same smile. "Well, if you would have told me that, we wouldn't have gone through all of this now would we." I huff in a playful matter as I see his eyes widening.

     "Really?" Giggling, I nod my head at him. Something clicked within me. Memories flooded my mind as all our good moments replayed in my mind. All the bad memories I once had of us was quickly replaced with the good and it slowly causes me to tear up. He was always by my side in high school. Always making sure I was alright and if I needed anything. He once me if needed chocolate or any type of desserts because I was on my period. Now that's a good guy.
