The Imbroglio

Boom

It's been almost two weeks. I figured lemme update so enjoy.

Agapi's POV
(POVs from the kids will be rare so don't get too used to it.)

Auntie Hayley dropped us off at these random people's house. When they opened the door, they smiled and asked us to come in then they gave me and Imani cookies and other sweets. They were really good too.

"Be good kids I'll be back in a little bit." Me and Imani each gave her a hug and she kissed us before setting us down and walking over to the older people.

"By auntie!" I shout once she gets to the door.

"Bye gop gop. I love you guys." She replied after turning around.

"We love you too." Me and Imani said together as the door closed. Then we turned back around to face the older people.

"Hello there. You children are adorable!" The woman gushed as she came and pinched my cheeks. Imani laughed while I scrunched my face up.

"What's your name little fella?" The older guy asked after the woman stepped away.

"Agapi." I replied proudly. Mama always told me to be proud of my name and the family I come from because they are both beautiful.

"That's a lovely name. How about you darling?" The woman looked at Imani.

"My name is Imani." She replied proudly as well which made me smile. The older people smiled.

"Well, you can call me Granddad and this is Granny. We're gonna take care of you until Hayley gets back." The old man said as he lead us in the kitchen.

"Are you guys hungry?" Granny asked us. We both nodded our heads and she went to the oven and took something out.

"You kids like lasagna?"

Your POV

"Both of you shut the fuck up!" Bruno yelled. I turned to him and he stood there holding a gun.

"Hey man chill the fuck out would you?" Hayley barked as she grabbed my shaking hand.

"NO!" He screamed as he kept the gun aimed at me. "Just shut up and let me think." He pressed his eyes shut and shook his head as if he were shaking a thought out of his head.

"Bruno. Please just put the gun down. We can talk about this." I took a step closer to him but he put his finger on the trigger and gave me a stare. One that I've never in my life seen before.

"There is nothing to talk about Y/N. You were supposed to be mine and only mine. You belong to me, no one else. I love you so much Y/N. I just want you to love me back. I'm so sick of being alone. I want someone to hold. To love." He choked out the last part as tears started to form in his eyes.

"Bruno, believe me I love you, but not in that way." I try to reason with him but he's not having it.

"If I can't have you, no one can."

—————————

Am I alive?

I can't see anything.

I must be alive cause I can hear things.

Does that even make sense?

"Y/N? Y/N can you hear me. Open your eyes honey. Are you in any pain?" I heard a gentle male voice from above me. I slowly came to my senses and saw an older white guy in green scrubs leaning over me.

"She's awake!" He yelled to someone.

Suddenly, a man in a white coat came over and held a flashlight over my eye then examined the other eye.

"Hey Y/N. How are you feeling?" A woman in a white doctors coat asked me as she looked at me with a small smile.

"Where's Hayley?" I ask as I try to sit up. The doctor gently pushes me back down and looks at me.

"She's okay. What I want to know is if you are." The asian woman asked me. I nodded and then started to feel around my body.

"I didn't get shot did I?" I ask her. She smiles and shakes her head.

"No but your friend did."

"WHAT!?" I shout as I jolt up and start to make my way out of the room. The doctor grabs my shoulders once more and tries her best to calm me down.

"Relax it's not a fatal wound. She just got shot in her thigh. Luckily, her femoral artery was not damaged. She's ok and she's recovering. You just passed out from the intensity of the situation." The doctor reassured me.

I breathed a sigh of relief and laid back down.

"How did you guys get to the house we were at so quickly?" I questioned.

"Apparently someone had sent police to the house and they got there right when your friend got shot. The man who did it-"

"Bruno." I interfered.

"Right. Bruno. He's been arrested. You guys are safe now." The woman stated with a warming smile on her face.

I wouldn't say that. I think to myself.

"Thank you." I mutter. The doctor nods and just as she's about to walk out the room I grab her hand and she turns around.

"Can I go see her?" I ask, causing a smile to form on her face.

"Yeah come on." She replies.

I'm sorry this chapter was shitty I'll admit. I'm not gonna lie I've been feeling real lazy lately and I'm honestly not feeling this part of the book but it'll get better and I promise I will make it up to y'all.

Thanks for reading.
