The Promise Ring 💍

03/20/21

mattia's heart was racing he kept looking at the image of it knowing where it was

"mattia where are we going?"

"junk yard I said this"

"yes we know this but why?"ale asked from the backseat

"cause there's a relation to y/n and the junkyard that I had missed in the photos bit I found now"

"what is it?"alvaro questioned

mattia gave the short boy his phone which was zoomed in on a patch of dirt

"mattia...thats the ground that could be anywhere"

"NO, I know where it is"

alvaro sighed handing back his phone thinking mattia went hysterical but little do they know he was right

The car engine stopped and he stepped out the car rummaging for his keys in his pocket

when he finally found them he sprinted to the door opening it

"hi honey." mrs.polibio smiled greeting her husband

"where's mattia?"

"he went out with his boys, why?"

"no..."

mr.polibio ran up to his sons room making his wife worry
"why what's wrong?!" she called out for him

he barged into his room seeing nothing but a mess he rummaged more trying to find any sort of evidence that mattia had from the bunker
"no, no no no No NO NO"

his wife's figure appeared at the door

"WHAT do you think you're doing to OUR sons room?!"

"nothing's here"

"what are you talking about?"

he was quick with a lie
"i thought our son was smoking I guess not."

"oh my, do you have no trust in mattia? he's a goid kid we raised him well! even if he did it understand why"

"why's that?"he asked

"because of y/n, you knee they were in love with eachother.  I just hope they find her one day..i hope she is okay."

"me too."he smiled feeling nothing but guilt run through his veins

his wife cane up to him hugging his side
"our sons a good kid he never deserved this."

"no..no he didnt"

he choked on his words leaving his wife's embrace
"i have to go, but I'll be back"

she frowned understandably
"work?"

"yes."

"mattia wait!" alvaro called out seeing mattia jump out of the car sprinting to the patch of dirt

when he reached it his head started to spiral he looked around everywhere looking behind bushed and leaves even looking in different places that were not in the picture

mattia soon became frustrated he put a side by side comparison from his phone to the ground hearing the pants from behind him that he knew were his friends

"nothing's here..but but it's the same look!"

ale Kairi and alvaro gathered around looking at the picture and at the real thing

"woah it is.."

"this one's just growing grass" Kairi said

mattia looked at it carefully again this time seeing it
"dig."

"what?" ale asked

"dig." he repeated

Kairi didn't hesitate to get dirty he went straight for it while ale mattia and alvaro helped

they dug
and dug
and dug

alejandro made a having noise to the smell that protruded from the ground
"the fuck is that smell?"

alvaro covered his nose with his arm while Kairi covered his with his hoodie

mattia just looked at the ground hoping it wasn't what he thought
"no, no." he kept digging

there it was an arm

The boys gasped while backing away while mattia just stared at it

"mattia"Kairi cried

"no, it's not her." he wept digging more uncovering more of the body

"mattia." ale said through tears
"its her"

"NO it can't be NO" he cried

Kairi getting up dragging mattia away from the body just holding him in his small arms
"we're so sorry tia."he cried

mattia said nothing but cried his cheeks turned red and his eyes became bloodshot

he cried died down as he was in Kairi's small arms

"it's fresh." alvaro said

"what..?" ale asked

"her body would've decomposed.. it's new..i say maybe a couple of weeks"

mattia put his head in his hands
"i failed her.."

"you didn't fail her tia."

mattia's eyes were emotionless
he had no expression on his face. he was still in Kairi's arms while alvaro and alejandro were right beside him all of them with tear stained faces and no expression

"i loved her.."

"she loved you too."

a familiar voice the boys knew all to well
