The Protected One

O v e r I t

It's been 3 weeks since that day.

3 weeks since a gun was held to my head.

3 weeks since I've spoken to Claude.

3 weeks since I found out my family's in the mafia.

Things have gotten back to the way they were somewhat.

It's currently Monday.

A new school day. As usual , it was hectic and everyone was running around.

"Has anyone seen my red lipstick, shade 324? Sophia Alice asks frantically.

"No, and you don't even need it," Marco rolled his eyes.

"I didn't ask that. I ask if you've seen my lipstick." Sophia Alice says.

"And I answered your question. No." Marco once again rolls his eyes.

"You're so fucking useless," Sophia Alice sighs.

"Okay everyone in the car." Tomas sighs.

We all pile into the car and as usual drive to school.

Just our luck , it started to rain on the way there. It only got heavier and heavier as we got closer to the school.

if it were a normal day, we would all split when we arrived.

Today wasn't normal though. It was pouring.

We decided to wait for the rain to stop then go in.

Which was a bad idea considering 20 mins later we were still in the car and were officially late for class.

We all decided to just rush in anyways.

And due to the fact we waited so long, the hallways were all empty.

I am walking to my locker and roll my eyes at the sight when I arrive.

I make my way to my locker anyway and stand in front of him.

"Can you move? I ask not looking at him.

"Can you let me explain? Or answer my calls or texts?

I sighed loudly.

"No. Now I'm not going to ask you again, move." I say.

"Frankie I told you I was sorry. So. Many. Times." He breathes.

"That doesn't change what you did." I say.

"I know what I did was horrible but-"

"Horrible? Claude, that doesn't even begin to describe what you did."

"I know. And I feel awful. But I had reasons." He says

"Geez Claude how selfish can you be? I scoff.

"Frankie-"

"I really don't want to hear it from you right now. Or ever, actually."

"Why are you so stubborn? You can't even keep quiet to hear what I have to say?! He raises his voice.

I scoff. Is he serious right now?

He's getting mad at me?

"You're the last one who should be getting upset at someone right now." I sarcastic laugh.

"You know what forget it." He sighs and walks away.

I close my locker and walk after him.

"You are literally the worst person ever! I say as I feel tears come to my eyes.
