DAMIEN: Book 2 of The De Luca Brothers Series [COMPLETED]

4:

No sleep, emotionally strained, hormonal and pregnant. Never have I felt worst in my life- no, that's not true. There was a time I felt worst, hence why I'm here,why I moved to this city and am living independently. I hold my stomach with two hands and wait, reminiscing in the fact that a little child is growing there, that I'm no longer alone and have someone to love.

"What are you doing?" Asks Rita, sliding next to me with her bubbly personality.

"Stomach cramps," I lie.

"Do you want some painkillers? I have some in my bag if you'd like some," she says, already reaching for her rucksack.

Is painkillers safe for developing babies? Will I poison it? I don't want it to have any side effect so I should keep away from drugs. "No thanks, I don't like to take drugs."

She gives me a curious look before shrugging, "That's okay I guess, was only trying to help."

I sigh through my nose giving the impression that I don't want to talk (which is entirely true), I'm too grumpy to have a normal conversation, with a pounding headache and sore feet, Rita is just too happy to be next to me.

"So I'm throwing a dorm room party tonight," she shrugs. "Can you come? I'd love it if you were there."

"No can do, I'm working," I reply. "I don't like parties."

"Oh, I didn't realise you worked. Where?" She asks enthusiastically. Does this bitch not get the hint?

"Oh you wouldn't know the place."

"Try me," she laughs. "I've lived here since forever. I'm pretty sure I'll know the place."

"Rita," I snap. "Just... leave me be."

Her face crumples and she mutters an apology, standing up and leaving quietly. I'm too lazy to actually care though. She didn't take the hint, she can deal with the consequences. Class drags on and I have to fight sleep a couple of times to make sure I stay awake. As soon as the bell rings, the entire class leaves and I'm left behind in the classroom. I begrudgingly get up and sway slightly, gripping the table. One more lecture before I can go home for a nap. Ninety more minutes of being talked at. I can do it. I have to do that.

"I thought you'd be here," comes a light voice from the door. I jump and gasp, hand to my heart as I stare at the boy in front of me.

He's from last night, the skinny boy with mousy brown hair and blue eyes. He smiles at me warmly, his skin pale and dark bags underneath his eyes. Wearing a simple black graphic tee and a pair of skinny jeans, he tops it off with converse, "I'm Topo."

"How do you know Gufo?"

He shrugs, "I guess I'm his brother in law to be? I'm his brother's boyfriend."

My brows furrow and I readjust my rucksack on my back, "Oh."

"Anyway, I wanted to know if you'd like to go to lunch? I can answer you questions since you're basically apart of the family now," he beams.

"I'm not apart of the family," I mutter. "I don't have a family. You're one of them, with your hidden name, drug dealing and making, ruining people's lives... how can you live such a twisted way?"

"Because being with Toro has helped me through so much. I love him, he loves me and he proved it over a month ago," he smiles. "I know Gufo is... a required taste, but trust me when I tell you that he cares for you. Just for certain reasons he's afraid of pursuing what he wants."

"That's pathetic," I roll my eyes. "So he goes and fucks—"

"Ah, Ah, Ah," he intervenes. "He hasn't had sex with anyone else, he just groped and kissed a couple of girls to make him seem normal. Ever since you he told me he couldn't with anyone else."
