Confession 2

Natalia's pov

Matt and Mark have been pacing across the room since the time 'Adriana's savior' as she wants to put it came in. I still can't believe he had the balls to do it.

"Out of all the people here. It just had to be you?" That's Mark.
Matt simply draws his fist into the wall splitting his knuckles. I jump in fright while Adriana simply shuts her eyes biting her lower lip.

"What is it with the Matthews, none of you two can even appreciate me
for being Adriana's knight." He stands up and walks to Matt. "Why can't you just accept that I was there for her when you pushed her away." He takes another step towards him intimidatingly. "Does it pain you that a Matthews wasn't there to help another Matthews and a Salvatore had to step in their position?"

"Stop it!" Adriana screams and clutches her head. But it's too late. Matt holds him by the neck and shoves him in the wall clearly angry. "Don't you ever talk to me like that." He grits his teeth and I can see a vein pop on his forehead.

"You always take us Salvatores inferior to you but.." Before he even finishes. A blow is set on his jaw.Matt grips his collars and looks at him straight in the eye. "and that's how it should always be."

"Stop it the two of you." Adriana rushes to the two of them and pulls them apart.

"What is wrong with the two of you?" He looks between the two boys who are still holding stares between each other. I can see she's trying to hold back her tears but failing miserably. She speaks but her voice turns out to be barely a whisper.
"You see why I didn't want to tell you guys that I still existed? I wanted to prevent this. Besides, we should be handling much more important issues. Like how to search for the assholes. We shouldn't fight yet we want the same thing. Whether a Salvatore or Matthews."

She steps away from the two wiping her tears angrily before walking to me." If you two are still going to tear each other apart,then I guess Nate and I should just leave. "

All this time I'm just standing like a monument. So much is happening and it needs to settle well with me. Adriana is about to pick her bag when Mark stops her.

He pulls her in a hug and I can hear her sniffle. I brush my arms nervously. Looking at the four people in the room. Things are getting heated and I'm even wondering what I'm doing here.

Oh, I'm Adriana's  friend.

She pulls  away  and looks at him with her glossy eyes. "I think we'll discuss my safety once some people can bear sharing a roof." She looks between the two men before dragging me to the door. "Let's leave."

We are almost at the door when the shattering of glass makes us stop. The sound of gunshots rent the air and all of a sudden I'm pushed to the floor. Mark jumps over the counter while I see Salvatore search frantically on his pockets before cursing then dashing to the floor. Matt is hovering over the two of us, looking frantically through the window. I shut my ears due to the defeaning sounds of the shots.

They go on for about twenty minutes before they finally stop and we hear a car pull out the drive way. My breathing hitches and I feel hot all over, a pain erupts on my left chest and I clutch at it painfully.

Shit, I had forgotten I was sick.
I shuffle in my bag grabbing my meds and shoving them in my mouth. Mark gives me the 'are you OK look'  and I fake a smile nodding. I wait for a few minutes before feeling the pain drift away. Adriana has her eyes still closed as she tries to catch her breath.

Mark carries her to the couch and holds her tightly whispering soothing words to her while I get out trying to find where the two boys went. I look up the driveway and see a car in flames. An angry Matt and Salvatore are pacing anxiously around the car.

"What is happening here?" Matt looks at me shocked before walking to me.

"What are you doing here?"

I ignore him and look past him. He shakes his head before following my gaze.

"The car blew up before we could reach it. Seems there was a timer bomb in it. Whoever sent them for some reason didn't want us to catch up with them and drive information out of them."

I gulp audibly and look at him. What if it was Thomas. He's bent on killing me for some reason. This is such a joke. My life is itself has turned out to be a joke. I'm being hunted by some physco. What if one of the bullets had driven through my skull?

" Are you alright? "
I take my gaze from him and look at Salvatore. He's making a phone call shouting angrily.

"Well, apart from the fact that my life almost ended some twenty minutes ago, I'm fine."

He pulls me into a hug unexpectedly before stroking my hair.

"You'll be safe. I won't let any of these assholes get to you."

"Hey Matthews?" we pull away and look at Salvatore.

"I found something that will be of use." we walk towards him and Matt grabs the I phone from him.
He looks at it interestingly before opening it. The symbol Dragon Gang is on its wallpaper and the two boys look at each other surprised.

"They are after..."

Salvatore quickly completes for him.

"Adriana."

I almost shout, "What?"

"I'm sure by now baby doll they know she's here, in this state. So, for them to rule out any chance of her knowing them, they plan on killing her." Matt almost chokes on his last words.

"Jessi is going to freak out."

Matt turns me so that I'm facing him before he lifts my chin so that I'm looking at him.

"That's why baby doll, we are not going to tell her."

"You know Jessi is not stupid. She'll find out soon."

He bites his lip before looking at the phone once more.

"I know, she'll find out. But nobody should mention this to her."

He tucks the phone in his pocket before we all walk back to the house.
